In a reflective note from Meredith Davis the State Leader announces a return to Denver journalism and nonpartisan editorial stance amid wartime strain. The message thanks Cheyenne and Wyoming readers for tolerance as it resumes publication and signals a shift toward straightforward news.
The piece reflects on historic crises among German students graded by efficiency and fear of failure. It contrasts with Ohio’s juvenile research law mandating that delinquent and defective children be committed to a state board for examination and classification, while normal delinquent children are to be treated differently.
A historical editorial extols Ohio's progressive child welfare measures, emphasizing inspectors as state wards and the need to study each child's cause with patience. It criticizes harsh parenting and schools the public on avoiding beatings, urging careful observation before actions.
An essay warns that German influence funds Mexican propaganda and border tensions as Carranza and relatives allegedly dominate business and trade. It argues Mexican self-government is fragile, notes Sonora’s Madera movement links, and suggests cautious U.S. watchfulness of Teutonic meddling and a looming neighbor.
A Washington announcement urges the nation to conserve steel for war needs. It warns steel use will disrupt "business as usual" in the auto industry and households. Citizens are told to audit possessions and limit steel use in items like stoves sewing machines tubs and tools.
Fragmentary wartime memoir notes recount British and French reactions to looming conflict. It portrays Berlin’s use of news to justify policy, the collapse of trust, and the author’s view that war arose from perfidy within policy rather than deceit alone.
A historical monologue reveals the shift from opposition to alliance policy tied to Austro-Hungarian and Russian tensions. It recalls July 1914 talks with Fingland, Sazonoff, Cambon, and Jagow about avoiding wars through treaties, limiting armaments, and the risk of turning Europe toward conflict.
Fragmentary OCR note recalls a 1916 discussion where a foreign office contact claimed war inevitability and Russia would be ready, suggesting a tense prewar readiness sentiment and strategic timing.
A diarist speaks to a little diary about her mother’s influence and a mentor figure named Mother Trent. She muses on honesty with the diary, the role of fashion in mourning, and how clothes shape emotion and perception. The piece ends with a tease that the diary continues.

A speaker recalls days of labor and wandering then turns to a chest containing reminders of a past love and child. Items include a bridal veil, wedding ring, baby shoe, a tattered doll, a book of verses, and a wall photograph. The poem frames grief as a single life reduced to tears and prayers.
