The New York Tribune reports on strategies for transporting passengers on light branch lines using self propelled cars.

A mixed page item features a nursery verse about a baby boy who admires his father and hopes to be like him, plus a literary fragment discussing English societal change and a political note about Taft delaying Supreme Court appointments, with a boarding house exchange about a woman’s purity. The content blends poetry, opinion, and a humorous anecdote.
A reflection on language in Congress praising Andrew Carnegie’s orthography aid and noting several lawmakers such as Isidor Rayner Tillman and Clark for their playful use of words like rocks jowering and jowering. The piece laments slang as national vernacular and ponders why speakers from Missouri and the Ozarks don’t deliver more homespun oratorical runs.
Cartoonish debate on spelling reforms sparked by Andrew Carnegie.

A collage of fragmented lines from various sources including statements about job seeks at an almshouse, a Chicago News remark about lightning, reflections of bachelors, a New York Press piece on smoking, and social quips about women and brains.

H. Dickerman on a looming Democratic victory and Marcel Prevost on gender addressing in social usage.
