Mr. Roosevelt, this is my principal request--it is almost the last request I shall ever make of anybody. Before you leave the pres...idential chair, recommend Congress to submit to the Legislatures a Constitutional Amendment which will enfranchise women, and thus take your place in history with Lincoln, the great emancipator. I beg of you not to close your term of office without doing this.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

There is a patent office at the seat of government of the universe, whose managers are as much interested in the dispersion of see...ds as anybody at Washington can be, and their operations are infinitely more extensive and regular.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
An office party is not, as is sometimes supposed, the Managing Director's chance to kiss the tea-girl. It is the tea-girl's chance... to kiss the Managing Director (however bizarre an ambition this may seem to anyone who has seen the Managing Director face on).
