A 1913 item notes post office clerks must lick stamps for Christmas mail, a practice seen as inadvisable by physicians. The piece mocks the plan and jokes about clerks facing unwelcome requests from various women, doubting the order will achieve its aim.
The piece argues against public corporal punishment, noting Delaware’s centuries old whipping law and concerns about its humane impact. It questions whether such punishment deters crime and criticizes political leaders who push Progressives back toward the Republican Party amid intra party tensions. It highlights tensions around Senator Penrose and the Washington ticket in Pennsylvania and touches on hunting, wildlife, and various political curiosities.
