he had felt anywhere In all his life.
It made him chuckle to think how

creatures called men, who delight in
killing such little people as Billy.

Billy started out to see what chances
there were of making a good living.
First he visited the henhouse. It

under the henhouse, and that there
was a hole in the henhouse floor in

could slip with ease. But Billy

The Political Mill
Nomination Of Dewey as Vice President
Deemed Ideal in Many Quarters

President did not "sidetrack" Mr..
Roosevelt.
Youngest President.
The youngest President the coun-
try has ever had was Theodore
Roosevelt, and he came to offlce
after being elected Vice President.
He succeeded to the Office of Chief
Executive, 1t is true, after the
assassination of President Nc
Kinley. But had Mr.. Mckinley
lived his second term out there
seems little reason to believe that
Theodore Roosevelt would not have
later been nominated and elected
President.
There is Vice President who to-
day is aspiring to the presidency,
John Nance Garner. Mr.. Garner
is by no means young man. He
was a candidate for the presidential
nomination in 1882. The Garner
pledged delegates from Texas and
California made it possible for the
nomination of President Roosevelt,
when the time came. Since Mr..
Garner became Vice President he
has grown in the estimation of
great many Americans. 1t is entirely
possible that he will go into the
1910 convention supported by far
more delegates than he had with
him in 1882 The old gag about
the vice presidency being an Office
in which public men may be buried
does not hold water.
The recent attack by John l..
Lewis, president of the C. 7. O.,
on Mr.. Garner as a labor batting,
poker-playing, whisky-drinking, evil
old man" has not helped Mr.. Lewis
whatever 1t may have done to Mr.
Garner. The Lewis influence with
members of Congress which con-
siders legislation in which Mr.
Lewis and the C. I o. are interested
has dropped measurably since his
attack on the Vice President. as
already demonstrated. The House
is to undertake amendments to the
Wage-hour law, against which Mr..
Lewis has set himself and his or
ganization. The Senate voted into
the administrations lending-spend-
Ing bill an amendment offered by
Senator Tydings of Maryland, which
would make it impossible for Mr.
Lewis to make another contribution
OF half a million dollars to a ma
tlonal political campaign unless he
had the express sanction of the
members of the unions to do so,
Largest Single Contribution.
1t was in 1886 that Mr.. Lewis, on
behalf of his union, contributed
$3.50 900 to the Roosevelt presiden-
tial campaign and loaned another
$50 900 to the Democratic National
Committee. This was the largest
single contribution made to the
presidential campaign in 1886 on
either the Democratic or Republican
side. And Mr. Lewis took occasion
in 1887 to remind President Roose-
velt that he owed his reelection to
the efforts Of himself and his fol-
lowers and presumably to his con-
tribution to the war chest. He
apparently expected as a return the

And What

cup'n zeb, IS,
Straight as a Mast,
And as Able
BY LEMUEL F. PARTON.

WOODS HOLE, Mass, Aug. L.
(Homeward bound on the Alice s.
Wentworth). Just give this old
fore-and-after hatfull Of wind and
she gets you where you're going.
Her keel was laid in South Nor
walk, Conn.,, 80 years ago. Around
Vineyard Haven, her home port on
Marthas Vineyard Island, old-time
Vineyarders say that on a reach
she can outfoot the biggest and
slickest yacht around there-and
they have some of the best.
She Is the most alert boat and
has the most alert skipper this,
mostly indoor, yachtsman has ever
met. 1t is bit awkward to identify
the skipper as Capt. Zebulon N.
I1lton. He's Cap'n Zeb to three or
four generations of Vineyarders, and
folks on the Northumberland
Melville's take-off for the Moby
Dick voyage-and he and Capt.
Ahab are teamed in island lore like
Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig ashore.
Capt. Zeb is rs years old, barrel
chested, and still makes nothing
OF scampering up the lofty rigging
Of his stout old ship.
This is. first off, a story Of free
wind and free enterprise.
Wind Is the only cheap thing In
the world these days" said Capt.
zeb, land that's why I'm using It,"
Knocked Down for S7O1.
Which brings this yarn to the
stage Of the 100 per cent dividend.
Last February, the Captain and the
Alice s. Wentworth, tacking into
financial headwinds, missed STAYS
and got into irons. The old ship
was knocked down for s7O1, but to
friendly owner, Capt. Packer Of
Vineyard Haven who, with w. o.
White, Boston manufacturer Of
nautical instruments, formed little
company to support the Alice S.
Wentworth in the style to which she
had been accustomed.
But it turned out just the reverse.
With somebody to look after petty
business details, Capt. Zeb began
shifting cargo from island to main
land ports like a whole merchant
marine and the old boat veered
right into the black.
She's rs feet long, with a 24-foot
beam and draws 5l2 feet of water
light and feet loaded. She's built
sheer, like Capt. Zeb and, going to
wlndward, can sail within a few
points of the wind and goes in and
out of stays like yacht. She can
carry 100 tons, and in a pinch Capt.
Zeb has manned her alone. fully
loaded in heavy seas. That's how
able and manageable she is.
Straight As a Mast.
Capt. Zeb is a Vineyarder. pretty
nearly feet tall, straight as a mast,
hands and face ridged and scanned
with nearly three-score years of sea-
faring, with his pompadoured hair
burnt the color of seaweed, his deep
pitted eyes, the sailors headlights,
which pierce pea-soup fog like a
searchlight.

didates would be delighted to have
Mr.. Dewey as running mate. That
would seem to indicate Mr.. Dewey
probably would be a strong candi-
date at the head of the Republican
ticket.
Chief arguments used against the
nomination of Dewey for President
are his youth-he will be 38 next
year-his inexperience in national
affairs, and the fact that no one
knows much about what he thinks
OF the problems confronting the
American people. For some reason
or another, no one seems to think
that these arguments would operate
against his nomination to be Vice
President, although since the Civil
War four Vice Presidents have sue
ceeded to the presidency on the
death of the Chief Executive.
Shows Leadership Qualities.
The arguments in favor of the
nomination of the New Yorker are
that he has caught the imagination
of the people with his racket busting
anti-Tammany fight, in New York
City and his ability to stand up and
deliver a convincing and eloquent
speech. Also he comes from New
York, the Empire State with the
largest number of electoral votes OF
any, a pivotal State always. All of
these arguments naturally would
fit in with his nomination for Vice
President.
There is in some quarters a grow
ing tendency to discount Dewey as
candidate for the presidential
nomination. But it seems a mistake
to attempt to sidetrack the New
York district attorney at this stage
of the game. The real campaign
for the nomination is still consider
ably in the future. And there is nc
question that Dewey is highly re-
garded by a lot of voters in all parts
of the country. Naturally he will
be expected to make his views clear
on major issues before the country
and there are reports he will do sc
when the proper time comes.
Whether Dewey would be willing
to accept nomination for Vice Presi-
dent is not known. There seems no
good reason to suppose, however
that he would turn down such a
nomination If it came his way. He
is young He has plenty of time to
become a presidential candidate
later on. Incidentally, Franklin D.
Roosevelt, another New Yorker
back in 1920, was nominated on the
Democratic ticket for Vice Presi-
dent. Mr.. Roosevelt IL years later
won an overwhelming victory for
the observation-disclosures he failed
to be elected or to serve as Vice
President. His nomination for Vice
