Abstract

It Seems to Heywood Broun
Broun, Heywood | August 6, 1930 issue

New York is turning moral. Bears of Wall Street finally accomplished the task. The dreadful truth of the matter is that the young and old of Manhattan in New York City have begun to learn the habit of early to bed. After three in the morning one will find hardly a single familiar face though he ride or walk the length of the island. And even though the reckless age has ended one cannot help paying some slight tribute of sorrow to the older generation, which ordered things more adventurously. A spendthrift crew established American greatness. Makers of the West never thought of the morrow. Conservation was unknown to them.
