The article presents information related to social and political issues of the world. New York has been treated this spring and summer to a series of scandals remarkable only for the fact that those chiefly discredited this time are judicial officials. One magistrate has just been sentenced to seven years in jail for misuse of mails in a stuck swindle. The rise of Tom Thumb golf, the latest device for taking the American mind off its troubles, took place imperceptibly and with great rapidity. It originated, no doubt, in a country club, where members from time immemorial have practiced their drives or their putting in that long pit-dinner hour when the sun is not quite gone but is too low to permit of an eighteen-hole or even a nine-hole round.
