1. VAUDEVILLE JOKES CENSORED Slurring Imitations of Men Like Carnegie and Rockefeller Must Be Stopped in Chicago Chicago, March 13 -- John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie and other captains of industry will have their epaulets of office respected hereafter in Chicago vaudeville theatres. Mayor Busse has decreed that slurring imitations of such men as Rockefeller and Carnegie should be stopped in order to reduce to a minimum the repeated criticism of the men of wealth by the anarchistic element. Accordingly, a quiet "tip" has gone out from the office of the police department to the managers of the vaudeville houses that it would be well to stop the class of vaudeville acts suggested. --Boston Evening Transcript, 13 March 1908

1. If the historian of the year 2024 should consult the files of the daily press of 1924 he will not be to blame if he concludes that at this time our nation was governed by a venal cabinet; that all our politicians were grafters; that the heads of all our oil corporations were crooks, and that the leading industry of the United States was bootlegging. --Casper Daily Tribune, 25 March 1924
