A early 20th century style opinion piece rails against alcohol, arguing that higher alcohol content would revive saloons and social ills. It reframes Prohibition as a conflict between temperance and a return to old pubs, predicting broad societal harm. The author cites Volstead acts and calls for continued sobriety.
A Detroit census on Ford’s presidential bid shows varied sentiment among canvassers. One respondent stated Ford would fire about 66 percent of federal officeholders and slash the budget, reflecting concerns over propaganda and financial policy amid the campaign.
The Railroad Labor Board rejected a general push for a living wage, arguing it is economically impractical and would bankrupt rail carriers or require massive subsidies or higher freight rates. Estimates show 72 cents per hour for common labor would raise payroll by over three billion dollars, with heavy deficits under 1921 revenue levels.
The text argues that making Ford a presidential candidate would reveal to voters how ill equipped many are for the presidency. It notes that the World War draft era estimate was essentially correct and warns that electing Ford could trigger an awakening beneficial to voters’ understanding of office duties and required qualifications.
Report suggests Wisconsin legislature may follow New York in backing the nullification movement on prohibition. The inquiry questions national party positions and cites comments from Wisconsin political figures and national leaders including John T. Adams of Iowa and Cordell Hull.
The writer laments Wisconsin’s drift from loyal, high minded wartime values under socialist and bolshevik factions and the nonpartisan league. He contrasts historic unity under the rebellion era with recent political outsized influence, noting a long decline from Bragg to Berger.
A national Republican stance hardens against League participation while Democrats seek balance with votes. Debates center on tariff policy and creditor debtor trade dynamics, with protectionists arguing for varied tariffs and economists noting gold movements and invisible credits complicating free trade forecasts.
The senator says he is bunk proof and bank proof as he travels Europe and plans to study Russian cooperation in law in Berlin. He asserts no bunk gets by him and hopes Russian reforms, including the end of capitalization, may offer lessons for voters in the state.
Editorial notes that through March the United States ran a trade deficit with imports surpassing exports by about sixty million dollars marking the first excess since June 1911. Gold imports also topped exports, though by a smaller margin than in prior months, signaling modest shifts in balance of payments.
A fragment suggests tension between city residents and women drivers blamed for accidents. The note cites a belief that a woman turning a head provokes safer driving disputes and implies rising auto incident concerns among locals.
Poem fragment notes lighthearted, muddled musings by Walt Mason on growing up, dating, policing, farmers, and daily chores. It juggles misquoted lines, stray memories, and quirky observations about wives, bootleggers, fish, and a Brooklyn style stream of thought.
The fragment mentions Svinen matic cigarette lighters and a remark about the stone age. It then notes two front teeth knocked out and references the watermelon season. It ends with a casual line about what the country feeds being a five cent cigar.
