These satires attack the pride of the "great" reduced to lower East Side
new York, the "side effects" of the war and the movies and other foibles of
the day with occasionally a serious moment of sincere human appreciation.
The Unsolved Riddle of Social Justice (1920)
These are troubled times. As the echoes of the war die away the sound of a
new conflict rises on our ears. All the world is filled with industrial unrest.
Strike follows upon strike. A world that has known five years of fighting
has lost its taste for the honest drudgery of work. Cincinnatus will not back
to his plow, or, at the best, stands sullenly between his plow-handles arguing
for a higher wage.
