War-Risk Insurance: Speech of Hon. Ira G. Hersey of Maine in the House of Representatives, Monday, September 10, 1917
Get PDFSample:
[Concerns H.R. 5723 to amend an act entitled An act to authorize the establishment of a Bureau of War-Risk Insurance in the Treasury Department approved September 2, 1914]:
The result of the passage of this bill in its present form will entail a needless expense of millions upon the taxpayers of the country in this time of greatest need and while on every hand we are being exhorted by the administration to practice in legislation the most rigid economy.
The present bill and new bureau will also give shelter and power to a new army of place hunters and officeholders who will fatten at the expense of the people. Unless these objectionable features are eliminated from the bill, I can not consent to wrong the American soldier abroad and betray the rights of the people at home by giving it my support.https://digicom.bpl.lib.me.us/books_pubs/1132/thumbnail.jp

In the Maine Woods: 1917 Edition
Get PDFSample paragraph:
Once a vacation is enjoyed in the Maine woods it is easy to understand the rhapsodies which come from the many women and men who yearly make pilgrimage to this great country of natural charms and scenic delights. It is a marvelous combination that one gets in the woods, for here Nature seems most bountiful in the union of mountains, forest, magnificent lakes and swift-flowing rivers. On all sides there is the radiant and irresistible allurement that is found only in the woods which hold out a warmth of welcome that seems never to exist elsewhere for those who have come under the magic spell of the forest enchantment.https://digicom.bpl.lib.me.us/railroad_pubs/1019/thumbnail.jp
