It contrasts 1882 Chinese exclusion with modern debates, citing Senator Hawley’s plea for citizenship rules not based on accidents of humanity. It warns against scapegoating Hispanics today as it did Orientals then.

A discussion on word muddiness as lexicographers blur meanings. It notes squash can mean crush or quell while quash can mean set aside or suppress, with examples from law and culture. The piece contrasts subtle shifts in usage and cites Ribald humor and a quip about revoltin' developments.
A reader complains about excessive lighting at the Iowa Electric Light and Power Co offices citing walls lit like Christmas trees and many lamps in use despite claims of conserving energy. The letter argues high rates stem from the company’s wasteful practices.
