Trend of the Campaign and Public Life in War Time
In a February 13 1918 Washington Post column the piece surveys political campaigning themes around tariff reform and party strategy, noting Taft Clark and Cox party dynamics, and the push to end tariff politics via a nonpartisan tariff board. It also covers public debates on physician assisted death ethics, Louisiana campaign spending, and a broad look at national affairs including China’s republican shift and editorial reflections on modern politics. The article blends campaign prose with broader social commentary, reflecting wartime governance concerns and domestic policy debate.

Dublin Does Not Lure Lady Paget
A contrast in Irish and English society unfolds as Lady Aberdeen, a philanthropic viceroy’s wife, squares with Lady Paget, a social mentor to American women. Paget plans to remain in London, avoiding Dublin society and the hospital’s bachelor quarters, while Aberdeen pursues charitable work and duties at rideau hall. The Dublin hospital, likened to Chelsea, anchors the season’s social life, complicating Paget’s engagement with Mayfair society and the castle’s expectations. Meanwhile Lord Talbot de Malahide, now in New York, holds hereditary naval honors and guards a castle rich in Tudor oaks and Norman halls tied to a tragic wedding-day legend.
