Curiosity, Politics, and Quips from Early 1900s News
A collage of quick items notes Carnegie giving money and advice, calls for honesty in politics, and reflections on hypocrisy in religion. It mentions Congress ignoring the president, Goulds reconciling, a Chicago man using a hundred dollar bill as a bottle stopper, and roots of baseball chatter in the Roosevelt family. An Iowa Hartley Journal quip, a Kansas police raid netting 800 dollars, Paris deaths outpacing births, and a proposed weather bureau probe in Congress follow. The piece also jokes about Debs and a Home Tele téléphone reach from Washburn farms.
