The passage, written in a polemical tone, rails against “freaks” including Peary and other polar explorers. It questions the value of north pole discoveries for humanity, mocks their hardships, and contrasts them with advocacy for suffrage and practical knowledge from local communities. It laments wasted lives chasing dubious science while urging focus on familiar, tangible truths.
Civilized behavior is shown by those who remove road obstructions for others. The piece argues that a man’s civilization is tested by his response to fallen trees, debris, and rubbish in front of homes and stores, highlighting the virtue of helping a stranger along the way.
Boston publishes Our Dumb Animals magazine urging kindness to animals and informing adults and children alike. The note commends Marshfield for considering funding and urges timely spring cleaning preparations amid uncertain war and weather forecasts.
A poem by Cecilia Reynolds Robertson published in The New York Times laments a mother during war. It blames hardship, hunger, and trench bloodshed while praising a soldier son. The verse frames motherhood, sacrifice, and the peril of war with stark imagery of food scarcity and combat.
William C. Redfield, Secretary of Commerce, writes in The Chicago Herald March 15 praising American resilience amid recent industrial shocks. He argues the nation holds prestige and growth potential, with foreign demand for money and goods rising as the US remains best positioned to supply. A note recalls nine thousand Turks frozen to death, linked by foreign correspondents to attempts to save weapons.
