Advertisers and gold fields in Brisbanes era musings
Arthur Brisbane surveys newspapers as a powerful advertising force and contrasts it with physical assets, then moves through topics from gold standards in South Africa to helium rarity, a baby farm tragedy, Dean Inge on American energy, and a Pennsylvania teen's death sentence.
Age and ability trump years in leadership recalls
The piece argues that age does not limit service as many leaders aged 66 to 79 hold top posts. It cites Rev John McNeill at 66 accepting a church call in New York, diplomats like Richard Johnson at 65 and Elihu Root at 75, and Senate figures past 70. It notes Chief Justice and WWI giants, insisting ability overrides a calendar.
