"I Don't Believe in Democracy"
Herrick, Robert | July 26, 1933 issue

The article presents experience of a incident from the author's life. One day the author saw his neighbor, her finger nails were so vividly red that one could not for long keep one's eyes off them, her black eyebrows were plucked to a thin line, a broad smiling mouth. A product of Chicago, all the blood in her for two generations being drawn from Chicago. They talked on indifferences in the opinion of the people. To an old-fashioned American' like the author this universal indifference to dishonesty, the moral callousness of the supposably "best people," is the amazing fact of the day.
