Snobbery and American Women in Wealth Obsessed Society
A historical critique argues that American women increasingly imitate European snobbery as wealth expands. It traces how wives push husbands toward social promotion, alienating long-time friends, and transforming husband and home into instruments of status. The piece warns this trend harms national character and widens class divisions.

Hero of Venezuela Bolivar y Ponte Liberator of South America
George L. Kilmer recounts the romanticized life of Simon Bolivar y Ponte, the Venezuelan revolutionary leader who united much of the continent against Spanish rule. Born in 1783 in Caracas, Bolivar endured exile, alliances, and defeats, eventually conquering successive territories and forming republics. He shared wealth and power with purpose, declined salaries, and urged national union, progress, and peace as his legacy.
