The piece condemns industrial efficiency limits under reconstruction and contrasts it with a satanic laughter at constraints. It laments murder victims suffering while a character murderer claims mercy as punishment looms. The editorial uses sharp, archaic phrasing to critique justice and moral integrity.
Within memory most Smethport families owned cows and pasture land. Milk delivered door to door has declined as depots ship supply to the city, turning milk routes into a favor to patrons. A new dairy company entering the field threatens more inroads into local supply and spurs talk of a new cow movement.
University of Paris physician Prof Paul Carnot proposes a Franco American marriage brokerage to curb falling birth rates in Europe. He foresees sending ceremonies to Turkey under Muslim rites and suggests governments fund maintenance, claiming white decline against a growing yellow race.
Reportedly over a hundred lawmakers will depart in July aboard a government transport to visit Illinois, the Philippines, China and Japan to study Oriental problems. The trip aims to be a pleasant respite from Reconstruction debates with Keech charged $1.25 daily, while the Treasury covers the rest in line with Republican economy pledges.
When the Republicans seek election on the strength of another's alleged omissions or mistakes rather than their own track record they will face tougher paths to office than they expect.
As the Orient refuges to come to Washington, a number of congressmen plan travel to the Orient asserting Treasury backing, a claim cited to the Washington Post without warrants.
In a Washington theater Dockstader humorously nominated Senator Henry Cabot Lodge for president on a peace platform called Efe-lept-is-omt of peace. The gaging line commends the idea to the Republican National Convention.
A Republican paper rails at Mlingis methods and blasts Senator LaFollette for a surging comeback. The piece notes his Wisconsin primary victory, control of the state delegation to the National Convention, and how party leaders courted him in the Senate after his vote shaped the Foreign Relations Committee and the peace treaty debate.
The North Carolina Democratic State Convention declares for equal suffrage and urges the upcoming legislature to ratify the federal constitutional amendment. As a solid Democratic state, North Carolina is likely to become the thirty sixth state to ratify, placing the ballot in women’s hands for the 1920 election.
A collage of humorous verse and stray advertising snips. It lampoons Sunny Jim Ephriam Gale and aging, hints at union suit buttons in a joke headline, and critiques shop windows while remarking on fashion and odor in light, fragmentary prose.
A Washington statement notes mid April war contracts liquidated to 2 779 973 000 dollars. Last week liquidations reached 119 303 000. No date has suspended 26 714 contracts totaling 3 944 369 000 and 24 245 contracts liquidated at 2 770 973 000. Total savings to the federal treasury from liquidations reach 2 425 000 000, with over a billion earned on informal wartime contracts. Army surplus stock sales total 764 505 844 and an additional 42 000 000 in material transferred to other departments. Much equipment, notably machinery, moved to the agriculture department for state road building.
The New York World notes Admiral Mayo, Admiral Rodman, and Admiral Sims offered sharply differing views on the wartime navy. Admiral Wilson defends April 1917 readiness as the fleet proved highly capable, while others argue over guns, armament, and policy. Despite disputes, the navy escorted over 2 million troops to Europe without a single loss.
