The article presents news related to political issues in the U.S. Congressional Committee is inquiring into the alleged Wall Street "leak." The audience which packed the Academy of Music at Philadelphia on Sunday formed the latest of the meetings which are being held in great cities to protest against the Belgian deportations. President Wilson is to be heartily congratulated on the auspicious start that will be given to the work of the newly created Tariff Commission. Future generations may learn with amazement that half a century after the freeing of the Negroes, there were enough illegal executions of colored men and women to warrant the tabulation of statistics.
