"Into what three branches is the Government of the United States divided?"

"Republicans, Dimulcrats, and Popperlists," seemed the favorite answer.

"What is the highest department of the United States Courts?" also worried

"Why July 4th and February 22d were made legal holidays?" was quite beyond
their understanding.

"The day on which George Washington landed and crossed the Delaware";

"The day on which the President takes his seat"; and

"July _Forth_ was the end of the _warre_," were three of the brilliant
suggestions.

I think we ought all of us to be very much obliged to Mr. Roosevelt for
preventing such ignorant men as these from being set in authority, and
having the difficult duties of the police to perform.
