Observers from Chicago agree that Calvin Coolidge is widely known and respected for his record as Massachusetts governor. He is seen as the obvious candidate when party deadlock looms, with Massachusetts supporters ready to point to his achievements.
The Massachusetts GOP members faced the loss of alcohol, not prison, after a customs seizure in Canadian territory. They violated the Volstead act and could have faced fines up to $2000 and six months in jail, yet escaped with only confiscated liquor.
A number of Federal Reserve banks have advanced their interest rate to seven percent despite state laws capping usury at six percent. The move reflects higher open market loan rates, though prior instances often included broker commissions in the cost of the loan.
The article surveys how states set maximum or permissible interest rates. Massachusetts caps at 6 percent with no penalty for higher rates elsewhere. other states permit higher rates by contract. New York limits to individuals and firms, Maine ties to agreement, and most states default to the rate obtainable by supply and demand when no fixed maximum exists.
The Supreme Court affirms the constitutional validity of the 18th amendment and the Volstead Act. It defines concurrent power as submission to Congress in enforcing prohibition and signals likely future political platforms may push for liberalization.

The piece surveys Lady Geddes' family ties and interests, Harold MacGrath as a romancer, the ex Kaiser in Door, a Quaker woman preacher in Epping, Italian premier Francesco Nitti, author Irvin Cobb exploring open life, and Atamon Semenoff the Russia leader in hiding. It sketches their characters, histories, and odd anecdotes.
A compact verse piece by G H R from Fitchburg begins with playful clock imagery and puns about time. It questions what one does with time and suggests moral limits on wealth and happiness. The polemical aside warns against counterfeit joy at another’s misery.
The column blends house and city life on the longest day of the year. Highlights include Pershing medals in Philadelphia, Arboretum beauty, proposed park advertising, a key ring device for lost keys, flower help for Children’s Hospital, a war hut on Boston Common, and Cape Ann streetcar tensions.
The piece traces neolithic life from stone tools to hunting smaller cave animals and rivaling dangers. It notes weapons like polished stone hatchets and spearheads, early games shaping later athletic pursuits and duels, and cites Luther Halsey Gulick on sport building character and resilience.
A 1926 verse by the Bentitown Bard extols simple joys of nature fishing streams and tranquil dawns. It contrasts nearness of love and joy with quiet countryside scenes and the rhythm of wind and water.
