A long reader letter chorus cites past presidents and unions, arguing against wholesale staff cuts in the Government Printing Office and defending sanitary reforms for Panama Canal work, while condemning modern medical reliance and praising disciplined labor.
Writ by WD Mackenzie argues against accepting spirit agency in mediumship without proof of exclusion of trickery. He outlines three hypotheses, describes how fraud can mimic phenomena, and urges cautious, informed investigation by readers and researchers. The piece criticizes untested claims and promotes discerning study before belief.
The Post editor fears the Panama Canal project’s sanitary failures and fever risks may provoke broad opposition in the United States. It argues that despite bureaucratic efforts and quinine claims, disease and local conditions in Panama, especially malaria linked to the Chagres River, could trigger public unrest and demand for new leadership or a change in administration.
A note from The Post addresses bricklayers, correcting a misstatement about union reluctance to work in other cities. It explains demand in major cities, the floater who seeks higher wages, and disputes a contractor’s claim that No. 1 union members are inefficient. The piece defends No. 1’s twenty year record and its standards.
The piece argues for loose hang over tight fit in men’s dress to suit modern American energy. It praises tweeds and rough textures for travel and open-air leisure, notes country footwear and Panama hats, and mocks aristocratic affectations while urging comfort and manly appearance. It ends with a jab at Russia’s peace plenipotentiaries, naming Count Cassini.
