The July 6, 1925 issue of the Charleston Gazette presents a brief morning thought urging alertness and fair play, alongside filler lines about subscription rates, postal details, and publication notes. The style reflects a 1920s newspaper front page with standard notices and a quoted maxim.
A letter argues against high surtax rates as harming the poor and deterring business. It cites cases where sellers’ principal is eroded by surtax, leaving debtors bankrupt, and asserts tax cuts would boost investment and growth. The piece condemns excessive taxation as tyrannical, urging reform to help workers, builders, and farmers thrive.
Debated decision of Dr C W Spears head of the Mountaineer coaching system to sever ties with West Virginia University and accept an offer from the University of Minnesota causes statewide unease. State education chief George M Ford had said Spears would stay next year but Morgantown critics doubt the announcement while WVU athletics director Harry W Stansbury suggests Ford’s statement put Spears in a bind amid ongoing negotiations.
Mr Stansbury announces that Coach Spears will leave West Virginia for Minnesota this fall. The Morgantown teams have thrived under his tutelage, and Virginias progress warrants full explanation of the departure amid questions of salary and personal reasons. The note ends with a stray reference to a jazz band at the monkey trial and an old song.
A Paducah Kentucky school board dismissed mathematics teacher Leia V Scopes after she declined to denounce evolution. The reaction links the action to broader debates over evolution and reform, citing prejudice and narrow mindedness as obstacles. The column contrasts this with a note on Henry Ford’s bid to build ships for the government.
Ex senator Beveridge denounces General Dawes plan to curb unlimited debate as an assault on American institutions. He calls filibusters childish, wastes time, and shields minority power, urging curbs on dilatory speech while noting Wyoming’s political oddities.
Fragmented text bundles foreign affairs with hints of British actions, Russia, France and Italy, plus scattered notes on American individuals and real estate. Mentions W G McAdoo, California climate, and various places like New York and Maine, but specifics are obscured by garbled OCR.
The page blends a rambunctious hotel lobby scene with a theater portrait of Maud Adora and Wanny Ward amid New York party chatter. A separate war dispatch reports Lieutenant Lawson near Addison, fighting guerillas, burning a village, and capturing cattle and forges as casualties mount.
Bits of state history recounts Major General John Frement in a 1862 review of uprisings. The official report cites an expedition of infantry and cavalry sent from a Weston base by Colonel Harris of the forces.
In That City of Washington Herbert Pearler recalls hotels booming with new massive buildings and the Shoreham's old charm. The piece shifts to a dining table tale at the Shoreham, describing clams and salmon, a waiter’s awkward service, and a joke about plumage from birds and dyed feathers confiscated by authorities.
Raleigh report cites Hillam Grireon, state collector, saying federal collection cost in North Carolina averaged 10 cents per dollar last year, with $185,008,000 collected for the federal government, while the state gathered under $10,000,000 for its own efforts. The piece also includes stray fiction and dialogue unrelated to the tax data.
A fragmented note references Thornton W. Burgess and his gentle nature focused tales for children. It hints at wildlife friends like a fox and themes of kindness and care for Mother Nature.
Daily News Letter reports on Japanese women migrating to Honolulu after the exclusion act, noting the shift from kimono to American dress among newer arrivals and older residents. It also covers Korean protests, carrier pigeons in wartime, a local graft law threatening supervision, and a comic tale from Peter Rabbit.
