The content discusses the prospects for peace, the post war world and the death of Theodore Roosevelt.

     “It looks as if the wings of peace might grow tired in hovering round before she can settle down to stay.

     A new line-up seems not impossible, and if the Bolsheviks of Russia nd Germany get together and persist in thinking themselves the enemies of the rest of the Bourgeois world there may be police work for all the troops, with possible mischief from malcontents here at home and in every country. Whether this would be making the world safe for democracy depends on the definition of democracy. I suppose such things have been in President Wilson’s view and may underlie his endeavors to keep peace terms within touch of the peoples as well as the statesmen of the world. Well, we shall see what we shall see.

     Roosevelt’s death dwarfs everything else just now, and long after things fall back into their usual perspective we shall miss him. Something big and strong and true has gone out of the world leaving an emptiness which it will take long to fill. And yet, such is the power of his personality, it will live on in the hearts and lives of those whom he touched, at least as long as this generation lasts. He was the biggest and most wide-reaching force in our life, and always for right.”
