The Washington correspondents to the London papers say that Burleson, the Attorney-General, and Daniels are Bryan men and are holding the President back. The prophecy contained in this letter was quickly fulfilled. A week or two after Colonel House had received it, the Arabic was sunk with loss of American life. It was telegraphed from the Embassy. "That settles it," he said to his son.
Burleson would stop and sit down and have a long serious think about what fifty thousand Post Offices think. There have been days with my half-past two letters when if I had Roger Babson's gift for being graphic I would have charted Mr. I have wanted, before dropping the causes of people's being fooled about themselves, to dwell for a moment on lost-mindedness, or losing the end in the means.
