Kipling Ode and New York Jury Law Parade in Echoes
A mosaic of early 1900s items notes an England at peace and a $200,000 gift to Gen. Kitchener, then shifts to Kipling praising Tommy Atkins. It covers New York jury law favoring registrants who failed to vote, a fresh $100,000 railroad suit, and grim rail transit trends in Chicago. It highlights Wall Street magnate Daniel Reid’s wealth, Vanderbilt and Winthrop fortunes among officers, and palace food protections for the Ottoman sultan. It surveys arid Western lands with 600 million acres and a proposed irrigated program near Denver by the YMC A, including a planned consumptives farm and tent towns for 30 men with possible expansion.
