Abstract

Editorial Paragraphs

The article presents information on several socio-political developments from across the world. U.S. Senator Robert M. La Follette's opening speech at Madison Square Garden, New York City, demonstrated that he is in powerful voice, in vigorous health, and ready for an aggressive campaign. In his attacks upon Calvin Coolidge he was particularly effective, and his analysis of the evolution of the Supreme Court's super-legislative position was a powerful demonstration of the need of curbing that dangerous body. The Eightieth birthday of Edward Carpenter, on August 29, 1924, was the occasion in England for a survey and evaluation of his life's work. He emerges from the discussion an important and a curiously interesting man-a writer mild yet powerful, a prophet serene yet destructive, a critic of modern society who is, half lyric poet and half philosopher.
