Taft Era Debates and Global Light Promotion
A long column covers John D Rockefeller’s $50 million pledge to enlighten the Orient, U S policy critiques, post office money order thefts, and plans for the 17th National Irrigation Congress in Spokane. It notes Roosevelt and Taft ties, Panama Canal inquiries, tariff debates, and a flood of political commentary with regional legal reform talk. The piece ends with satire on an asylum patient’s letter misfire.
