A reflective piece urges careful first impressions and continuous curiosity noting that observers see more when they first encounter a scene. It recalls Mario 1220 who sweeps streets after relief and Caesar Gerard who bequeathed his savings to the U S A, both illustrating restraint and gratitude.
Attorney Louis J. Kehoe, of this city, writes to President Roosevelt condemning foreign agitators funded from across the peas.

The missive urges action, cites a growing menace, and calls for public officials to curb agitators and uphold democratic institutions. The draft ends with a humorous anecdote comparing a boy’s view of his father to political awakening.
