In his political views Dr Jones is a progressive, advocating the principles set forth by Theodore Roosevelt at the time of the birth of the party. He is a worthy exemplar of the Masonic fraternity, while his religious faith is that of the Presbyterian church. His acquaintance is wide, and he has a host of friends, whose high regard he has gained through his professional ability, his deference to the opinions of others, his genial manner and unfailing courtesy.
