A June 28 1932 Charleston Gazette item notes Mrs Jalliby fulfilled her duties before sweeping the horizon with a telescope in search of others and would have taken precautions to avoid becoming aboard. The piece reflects a reflective moral vignette from the Aleak House in Dickens.
The Gazette lauds Alben W. Barkley of Kentucky as a forceful temporary chairman whose speech frames the nation’s peril and argues for true statesmanship, criticizing Hoover era policies, farm declines, unemployment, and government spending while urging unity and renewed democratic purpose. He cites past victories, lays out fiscal reforms, and calls for abolishing useless offices to reduce costs.
In West Virginia editorials critique Judge Frank Lively of the unity supreme court, noting his history of rulings favorable to public utilities and questioning recent disqualification and recusal. The piece suggests state voters will scrutinize his record as he seeks renomination. It also argues for a potential state rate case over a 50 cent monthly French telephone charge, proposing a public inquiry into utility pricing by the public service commission.
The Huntington Herald-Dispatch reports that the Supreme Court reduced by twenty percent the assessed valuations of properties in the West Penn Power and Ohio Power jurisdictions. The ruling upholds tax across property classes on true value though questioning equal treatment within governmental units. The editorial questions if wrongs can ever justify relief and notes concerns over consistency in taxation.
A rambling Parisian op-ed mixes headlines from Chicago to Bangkok, noting unemployment, bread lines, and politics with Huey Long bets on Roosevelts victory. It cites Senator Lewis withdrawal, calls for a five day work week and beer, and recalls superstition and Siamese royal politics.
A 1939 feature argues that arrogance in authority harms worker cooperation and productivity. It urges replacing arrogant leaders with capable, cooperative ones to restore harmony and better outcomes for employers and employees. Madrid runs owl cars only three nights a week, with all night service on Fri Sat and Sun for double fare after 2 a.m.
A June 27, 1982 intercepted note shows Bier W. G Cantay, executive in Charlerton, urging Marche to shield the state budget from political interference. The missive suggests the legislature must avoid a tainted balance of power to keep finances moving forward.
New York reports a calamitous summer for theater as Globe and Hippodrome falter financially. Receivers take over Globe. Roxy fails, Hippodrome shuttered, and predicts a bleak winter. Observations include fading vaudeville, waning club humor, and a shift in public tastes amid a period of cultural contraction.
Washington bystander Kirke Timpton observes at the national convention as Al Smith and Roosevelt loom in a potential split. Smith, eager to tout his independence and anti Roosevelt alignment, seeks renomination while deflecting questions about a Roosevelt-led bloc. The scene captures a hard-edged political theater with press flashes and wary observers. Also reported are floods in Bangaba Texas driving a weed outbreak affecting cattle and Cherbourg’s Big Ben clock to be moved to mark the 23rd sfoot tower landmark.
A reader offered a Washington bureau bulletin page with quiz questions on presidents, suffrage, science terms like cellophane, and curiosities. The item includes sample Qs about U S presidents, Capone, Aesculapius, and silk worm farming, plus a promotion to order fruit preserving bulletins for five cents.
Dr. Clendening extols ice cream as a nutritious easily digested food and a remedy for acid indigestion. He cites doctors and patients, notes vitamin content, warns against unfounded freezing fears, and advertises pamphlets on digestion and health.
A narrator recalls a boastful mail boy and a sharp eye on truth as a lesson in manners. The piece contrasts clever rhetoric with real conduct and discusses leadership, policy, and social control through anecdotes and a Paris Normandy tale of Briand era hamlets fighting over adding Cocherel to their names.
