From 1912 to 1917 he edited Everyman, a literary magazine favourable to the doctrine of distributism.

In 1915, he was sent by the Belgian government to the United States in order to support the veracity of atrocity stories in circulation about the German occupation of Belgium. The mission was not a success, in that Sarolea unwisely and publicly attacked the neutrality that the US was observing at the time with respect to World War I. Recent academic interest has been on his political views.

In 1918 he was given his professorship by the University of Edinburgh which he held until retiral in 1931.
The world needs some positive fanaticism.
