The Coatesville Herald discusses wartime democracy, rail transport costs, aerial mail plans linking Chicago to Cincinnati, and a scandal over county burial contracts. It argues Americanism versus internationalism, warning against denationalization and urging national self rule.
The author argues that no form of international rule can match the progress spurred by distinct national units. Nations, with unique traditions, biases, and institutions, drive liberty and democratic development. Americanism is hailed as the ultimate model of self governing nationalism.
Humorous snippets from The Herald feature local characters and quips. Notes include Bill Armitage on Johnny’s flannel, Sim Potter’s anti League stance, a ball game joke about pitcher's pay, Charley Thompson’s old world bullets, Lite Chamberlain on crows and cows, Dan Gallagher entering film via a furniture truck, Elder Hollingsworth on church crowds, and others on faces, taxes, and flirtatious smiles.
