Reverend Meyers Horse Clover and Public Charity Debate
A 1920s column reflects on Reverend Dr. Uriah Meyers and his aging horse Clover, noting a monthly pension of twenty five dollars raised for care. It shifts to a discussion of philanthropy versus personal aging, then quotes social commentary on marriage, divorce law, and gender expectations, including a controversial remark about a woman choosing to stay with a criminal partner. It then moves to US-Canada relations, Kellogg’s visit to Canada, and mutual economic ties. The piece critiques a British film about a nurse and contemplates a two-term presidential limit, with views from Senator Borah and a note about Haig’s monument.
