McNary's % years of service in the
Senate that he ought to be Presi-
dent. He doesn't swallow all Repub-
lican dictum, nor illuminate against
New Deal dogma, just because 1t
has the opposition party label. He
is called to the White House more
than any other member of the mi
nority and he is as popular as
Senator Vandenberg in the Senate;
some say he is more popular.
My guess is that it is Senator
McNary's zeal for the party and
indifference about his own personal
future, his immunity to the presi-
dental bug that give him such
complete and wholly trusting sup
port among the G.. o. P. He knows
how a mans usefulness is impaired
when he is bitten by the presidential
bug. He does not claim to be a
poet, but one day in the Senate
dining-room, when the late Senator
James Couzens of Michigan, his
boon companion, offered to launch
a campaign for him, Senator Nc
Nary dashed this off:
The presidential bee is a deadly

I've seen it work on others.
Oh Lord, protect me from its hug,
And let it sting my brothers."

Miss Rogers sister, the late Mary
Cochraine Rogers, spent many years
collecting data on the Indian wars
Of New England and before her
death in 1890 deposited the material
in the museum at Fort Ticonderoga.
Miss Rogers said that some of the
descendants of Maj. Rogers have
been o bit dismayed by the frank
ness of Mr.. Roberts treatment of
his life. The author wrote to Miss
Rogers after Northwest Passage
was published several years ago.
He expressed admiration for Maj,
Rogers heroism, leadership and
brilliant mind. Rogers wrote sew
eral books about Colonial America
and play based on Indian life.
But he had many enemies. He
was jailed for an alleged attempt
to deliver a Michigan fort to the
French and later thrown into q
debtors prison in England because
of his extravagant ways.
Mr., Roberts explained that his
life Of Maj. Rogers was essentially
a tragedy.
