A fragmented editorial draws from the Democratic National Convention coverage. It criticizes William Howard Taft era tableaux and Mr. Wilson’s image, noting banners and flags at the San Francisco gathering. The piece mocks the display and questions patriotic symbolism.
Notice to subscribers of the News-Telegraph explains that Atlantic readers not receiving their papers in the evening may arrange late delivery by calling before seven, using telephone Red 403. This number is not the News-Telegraph’s official line.

The piece argues Bolshevism exploits ignorance to seize power in Russia. It claims Leninist Trotskyist leaders promise peace law and bread while slaughtering opponents and suppressing labor. It asserts manual workers alone create wealth, condemns the abolition of the bourgeoisie and intellectuals, and warns against civilization’s peril if intellect is erased.
The text argues that Bolshevism destroys the inventor and organizer, erodes private property and liberty, and risks regression to ignorance and brute force. It emphasizes human progress depends on educated leadership and the brain guiding labor, warning nations cannot survive modern times if the educated class is killed or sidelined.
Poem notes in homebound travel from Rome to domestic vacations. It highlights native landscapes parks rivers and oceans, and contrasts local charm with visiting outsiders. The verse alludes to regional admiration and playful critique of profiteering and social spoof.
A harsh critique targets a ruthless landlord charging two dollars and a quarter for a bed that breaks the back. The piece derides profiteers, glitzy ads, and piracy behind it, predicting the sting will be told to all and met with public scorn.
