A MAN WANTED - Machine domination in politics was never more strongly illustrated than in the present situation of the Democratic Party in State of New York.

INTERNATIONAL YACHTING - Things don't look quite as bright as they did for Mr. Royal Phelps Carroll. It is useless to conceal the fact that the last news from England has made experienced American yachtsmen breathe short. The English have made serious advances in the design of their new yacht Calluna.
THE PENSION BUSINESS - The extensive pension frauds which have recently been brought to light in Virginia show how easy it is to foist fraudulent names upon the pension-rolls, and suggest that a thorough and painstaking investigation might discover that many hundreds, if not thousands, of those who are now enjoying the nation's bounty have no just claim whatever to it.
YOUNG REPUBLICANS IN ACTION – The Republican Press has called for younger men to be allowed to hold important positions. Now Mr. W.W. Tracy has been elected the new president of the National League, a political group, at the age of thirty-one.

A BOX OF SWEETMEATS - In this orderly world there is a sufficient reason for everything, and no lasting pre-eminence is ever achieved quite by chance.
