Observations By Mr. Dooley By Finley Peter Dunne

"Observations by Mr Dooley" from Finley Peter Dunne. American humorist and writer from Chicago (1867-1936).

he fictional Mr. Dooley expounded upon political and social issues of the day from his South Side Chicago Irish pub and he spoke with the thick verbiage and accent of an Irish immigrant. His sly humor and political acumen won the support of President Theodore Roosevelt, a frequent target of Mr. Dooley's barbs. Indeed his sketches became so popular and such a litmus test of public opinion that they were read each week at White House cabinet meetings.
