Washington talks, Kansas political slights, pension debates, and reflections on Richard Hinton. The piece mocks press accounts and lauds old soldiers while deriding libels and historical memory.
A curiously broad column blends political satire with Christmas reflections. It critiques Senator Pratt and Roosevelt, cites Kansas opinion, and muses on Santa Claus, the press, and a proposal to sign pieces with real names. The piece then pivots to Christmas origins, etiquette, and charitable admonitions, followed by ads and anecdotes about dental care and household goods.
