Wells ranks Jesus Buddha Asoka Aristotle Roger Bacon and Abraham Lincoln as history's six greatest men. Asoka, ancient Indian king 2145 years ago, achieved victory then abandoned warfare. Roger Bacon, English philosopher, blends myth with achievement. Aristotle, the green philosopher, inspired Alexander the Great yet failed to end wars.
The author argues no universal list exists and weighs who qualifies as greatest. They contend many would exclude Jesus as divine rather than man and emphasize service to humanity as true greatness. The home’s importance, via the cooking stove and heating furnace, highlights Benjamin Franklin as key originator.
A writer suggests several of history’s top figures are living now and includes Marconi among them, arguing that modern advances outpace early groundbreaking work. The reflection notes we remain near the crude beginning of wireless invention and related progress.
The passage argues major inventors shaped progress from radio to printing.

Weeks, secretary of war, advocates limited light wines and beer. He says he would vote for them if a congressman. He warns that a 10 percent limit could lead to gradual spiking toward whisky strength. He questions if such control can be practically prevented. Prohibition, he argues, must be absolute to be real.
The text cites Casimir Fank discovering vitamins and seeking a sixth to prevent pellagra while noting animals rely on instinct. It reflects on civilization erasing smell, considers radio extending hearing and possibly sight and smell, and questions future senses and tradeoffs in progress.
The railroads announced that in the week ended June 10 they loaded 846,002 cars of freight. This was 38,797 cars more than the same week in 1919 during the big boom, suggesting a potential gain near 100,000 cars.
Analysts note 38,797 indicate stronger activity if coal shipments resumed. Many ask whether a broad business upswing is real, and observers say the boom is already underway in numerous sectors, not a false alarm.
Frank McManamy says 334000 freight cars and 13128 locomotives are laid up for repairs, and fixing crippled stock will create thousands of jobs. He argues repair and replace drive prosperity, cites education as impractical with many teens seeking work yet trained for nothing.
Iowa critics call primaries imperfect while Sioux City Journal downplays railroad strike worries. Cedar Rapids Republican fixes on Senator La Follette as Wisconsin’s nominee citing his stance and temper. Davenport Times hints at rising congressional sentiment.
A fragmented column debates control of public lands, suggesting the president may sway toward Fall and risk a congressional clash over transferring domain to the interior department.
