About this Item

These were the Good Years. Good, not because rich men rode in private railroad cars and Society gave magnificent parties. Most people rarely traveled, and many went to no parties at all. Good, not just because the world was at peace. Millions of so-called "little brown brothers" took violent exception to America's fumbling (if well-intentioned imperialism. Good, not even because a shirt cost only 23 cents. The child who often made the shirt got only $3.54 a wee. These years were good because, whatever the trouble, people were sure they could fix it. The solutions differed of course-Theodore Roosevelt had his Square Deal, Carry Nation her hatchet-but everyone at least had a bold plan and could hardly wait to try it.
