No such giants of debate as Woodrow Wilson faced loomed against him. Instead of Henry Cabot Lodge I, Philander Knox and Missouri's irreconcilable, tigerish Jim Reed, the 1939 President faced only relatively mild characters like Missouri's Bennett Clark, North Dakota's Nye, North Carolina's clownish Reynolds (see p. 16), and Henry Cabot Lodge II, bright but time-abiding.

In the unpublished correspondence of old Jim Bridger there is, in fact, a statement to the effect that "there's nuthin' wuss'n a drunk Injun." This fact is still incontestable today. More generally, it has been scientifically proved that hard spirits stunt growth; that continual imbibing results in deterioration of character; and that back of every criminal there lies an empty bottle.
