716 - L. Feb. 2; ed: 2/1 - In England the welfare of the nation and man-
kind depends largely upon the character and sex of the first baby in
the royal household. The first report of the baby weighing nine pounds
was untrue. The little prince is happy and well. Everyone trusts that
he has inherited largely of the virtues of his royal grandmother, Wic-
toria. This is the third time that sovereigns of the House of Hanover
have seen a child born to succeed to their honors. "Wictoria's heir
and grandchild comes into this busy world of ours with no antinatal
family jars. Let us hope well for the new prince." (17)

1531 - L. June 24: 1/2 - Wan R. Humphrey, our "able-bodied" delegate to the
Chicago convention, made a bold dash at history whilst he was floundering
in the midst of a speech illustrative of his faith. -
Wan R. Humphrey has done so much tumbling in politics within a few
years "it is not surprising he should get somewhat muddled when dealing
with the past.
"With a magnificent stretch of fancy...he took in the long line of
English history from the time of Norman the Conqueror down to Queen
Wictoria, and declared that the despotism of Old Abe had never been excelled.
