A quotation attributed to Stephen Decatur highlights a patriotic line: Our country in her intercourse with foreign nations may she always be in the right, but our country right or wrong. The remark reflects nationalistic sentiment and historical framing of loyalty amid international affairs.
A reflective Thanksgiving piece notes how life continues amid war and inflation, praising Providence and national resilience. It acknowledges fear of future conflict but emphasizes gratitude, family, and the custom of giving thanks despite difficult times.
The paper surveys election returns and reactions from leaders including Roosevelt and Hughes. It notes pundits debating results in California and the union stance, with Johnson, Willcox, and Parker cited amid shifting claims. The piece also mentions Romania, the Allies tightening control at Constantinople, and a sense of fading certainty as days pass.
A temperate tone defends Hughes and mocks a belated telegram to President Wilson as Wisconsin votes delay. The Wausau Record-Horak reports five Milwaukee bankers at a Friday banquet, too full to speak on election bets and the election outcome.
An old Champlain mayor and a nearby town farmer are noted for family purchases and the community economy. A Unity supporter bets on the election outcome while a proverb hints at value in the prize.
The American Federation of Labor calls on the Department of Justice to use federal grand juries in major cities to probe an alleged print paper price and supply conspiracy. The issue ties to a 200 percent rise in paper costs over a year while papermaker wages lag, harming printers, customers, employees, and the public amid rising living costs.
Prof Ralp Hess of the University of Wisconsin told the City club at a Wisconsin hotel lunch that no long term postwar relief will come even for neutral nations. He warned that gold in banks and shifting labor destroy constructive work, raising prices as Europe shares America’s supplies. He proposed two plans to ease living costs without embargoes: adjust prices to reflect current values or equity in distribution with possible consumption limits. He urged expert and policy maker cooperation to avert crisis.
The article discusses a stance that foreign relations should be set aside in embargo talks and urges a food embargo driven by American interests. It argues public sentiment is split and suggests Mr Fitzgerald should advocate restricting food imports to protect domestic welfare.
A Denver judge holds that a husband giving money to his wife for a gift is not theft or crime, highlighting a clash between folk weather beliefs and modern law. The piece comments on lingering old proverbs and a shift toward official forecasts from Uncle Sam.
California notes a shift as Christmas shopping crowds out election tally work. The piece frames public focus on holiday spending eclipsing the finalization of electoral vote tabulations with a wry, period voice.
A Thanksgiving prayer thanks God for daily bread and all mercies. It asks for heavenly provision health shelter and friends, and recalls renewed gratitude. The prayer seeks consecration beyond one day and everyday devotion throughout the year.
The Northwestern analyses Wilson and Democratic governance focusing on tariff reform, currency changes, and the income tax. It argues Republicans failed to curb tariffs and praises Underwood era reductions, the Federal Reserve system creation, and a broad income tax as measures aiding the common man. It contrasts Taft and party stances with Democratic reforms viewed as prompt and effective.
The fragment discusses distrust of a government measure and criticism of political actions by Mr Wilson. It notes opposition from wealthy interests, acceptance of the law as right, and praise for domestic policy from sober business minds, while judging foreign management less favorably. The tone is partisan commentary with unspecified context.
A Milwaukee firm employed a young man claiming a secret dye process and paid him $10,000 in wages and materials. He vanished with watinum gold and chemicals valued at $10,000, prompting a New York search. If he had claimed a secret salary, that would be closer to the truth.
A New York court instructed women lawyers not to speak or act with jurors. The ruling signals eroding memorial privileges for women in the legal process, and affects even states without suffrage debates.
A Kansas City man at 63 embraces smoking as a new habit, described with a tone of dry readiness. The remark underscores a humorous take on late life choices and personal risk.
