quite a bit about politics, about ra
tennis, but she had to confess that
Miss Molly originated the slo
Elections" and organized in 1885,
the reporter plan," to speak in
every county, city and hamlet
throughout the States on the poll
cies of the Roosevelt administration
and particularly on its program to
bring the country back to normally.
That the plan was successful is be-
ing demonstrated by its organized
activities at this time. Since her
retirement from the Social Security
Board in 1898. while she has been
for the first time in many years, she
evidently from her recent pro-
nouncements has kept au courant
with the realm of politics and being
woman of strong convictions has
made a sacrifice of some of those
traditional convictions by putting
aside for the present her dislike for
a third term and entering whole
heartedly into the Roosevelt CAM
palgn.
Senator Guffey Writes
On Third Term.
There has come to our writing
table a very interesting and care
fully prepared brochure - polite
name for campaign document-by
Senator Joseph F. Guffey of Penn
sylvania on the pros and cons OF
the traditional third term contro-
versy. There is nothing particularly
new in the arguments advanced in
favor of a third term, but 1t Is quite
exhaustive and full of ready infor-
nation. When proposal for con-
stitutional amendment to stop PreSi-
dent Roosevelt was made, the late
Senator Borah made the statement
that it would be nothing but poll
tics, and said, Il do not favor a
third term for Presidents, neverthe-
less I favor leaving the Constitution
Just as it is and let the one who un-
dertakes to break the tradition and
the people settle the matter" He
said that, although rather difficult
to do so, one could imagine situa-
ton where a third term for Presi-
dent might be regarded as wise. He
thought the safest place to leave the
determination of third term was in
the judgment and patriotism of the
voters.
Miss Dewson has a place of So
acres at Castine, Me, where she
raises Shetland sheep dogs Her
finest stock was imported from Eng
land-not Scotland, where they
must have originated-and there is
much concern now just what can be
done about the blooded hunting dog
stock of Britain.
Miss Dews0n'S FavOrite
Story About Her Dog.
And now for Miss Molly's prize
dog story, which she always relates
with emotion: He was a beauty; af-
fectionate, faithful and loyal COM
rade as only dog can be. He ira
veled with her through % States
and Is countries. He climbed the
Alps, the Carpathian Mountains and
the Pyrenees and was her constant
companion whether walking or mo-
toring through Europe-and then,
Miss Molly would end the story by
saying, he has gone to the happy
hunting ground to join that faithful
company of dogs of which Bobby of
Grey Friars and the late beloved
Bishop Harding's dog are celebrated
members. BY the way, the Bishops
dog is memorialized in marble and
rests at his feet on his monument
and recumbent statue in the Chapel
of the Resurrection, out at Washing
ton Cathedral
Just one more: Ye dog lovers who
have not read that charming poem
which appears in the Memoirs of
H. R. H. Prince Christopher of
Greece" about the Little Dog
angel have missed a classic.
High up in the Court of Heaven
today,
A little dog-angel waits,
With other angels he will not play.
But sits alone at the gates.
For I know that my master will
come, says he,
And when he comes he will call for
me.
And I know when at last his master
waits
Outside in the dark and cold,
For the hand of Death to open the
gates
That lead to the Courts of Gold.
Then the little dog angels CHEEKY
bark
VIII comfort his soul in the SILVER
ing dark.
