Self reliance a key lesson in raising sons argues Mrs Roosevelt
In a New York Amusement column by Mrs. Roosevelt, she urges individualized parenting, early self reliance, and measured independence for boys. She says discipline, trust in elders, and sharing family burdens build character, while overprotection weakens readiness for adulthood and civic duty.

Honest John McDuffie for House Speakership in 1920s
A portrait of Alabama Democrat John McDuffie as a sturdy homespun, reliable figure with blunt manners who could become speaker of the US House. The piece contrasts his plain, dependable image with rivals, notes his long service and key achievements, and traces his rise from Alabama planter roots to national politics amid a changing, largely inexperienced postwar Congress. It recounts his early life, education, legal career, and friendships with Garner and Longworth, hinting at future leadership prospects.
