Five Minute Chats on Our Presidents

By JAMES MORGAN

(Copyright. IM*. by Jamaa Morgaft.) A MAN AFOOT

1797-1801—Vic* president 1801—Inaugurated third president aged fi>7. 1803—Purchased Louisiana. 1807—Enforced Embargo act z 1809— Retired to Monticello. 1828—July 4, died, aged 83.

THE furious storm aroused by the combat between Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton, the greatest gladiators to face each other in the arena of American politics, makes our recent campaigns seem like sunshowers. Hamiltonians scorned to eat and drink, and sometimes even to pray, with the Jeffersonians. To give a daughter in marriage with one of them was almost abhorred as miscegenation. ) Nothing else so stirs the angry passions as a conflict of classes or of sections. This was both doubly bitter. An almost solid South united with the Northern masses in a common dread of a strong government and in a common hostility to the old ruling caste In the middle states and New England. The new parties called themselves Federalists and Republicans. In the first battle, when those parties fought for the chair of Washington 'in 1796, the result was so close that Jefferson came within two elec-

toral votes of winning the presidency ' against Adams. In the second battle, i which was waged in 1800, he beat Adams. Contrary to the familiar story of his hitching his horse to the capitol fence, Jefferson walked to his inauguration and afterward walked back to his boarding house, which was only a few ; hundred yards away. This man afoot, flreamer and theorist, quietly ushered in that day a more lasting revolution than a man on horseback could have wrought with a sword and whiff of grapeshot. Believing that revolutions should begin at home Jefferson revolutionized the White House by casting aside the ceremonials which had been adopted in a feeble imitation of kingly courts. Opening the doors to all, without regard to social classifications and without order of precedence, his rule was “first come, first served.” Determined that the president, as he said, should cease to be a personage, he stopped the custom of celebrating a president’s birthday, never made a public tour, did his own marketing and went and came like any other citizen. Although no successor has thrown a British minister Into a fit of indignation by receiving him in slippered feet, Jeffersonian simplicity rather more than Washingtonian courtliness remains the standard of presidential conduct. It was the strange fortune of this most thoroughgoing pacifist to find himself at the helm in the midst of a world at war. When the globe was bristling with bayonets until it looked like a porcupine, he calmly announced that peace was his passion, and started out by cutting down his little army one-half and by talking of hauling up his seven warships. His only interest in the Napoleonic struggle was to keep out of it

Nevertheless while the mint Ary powers were fighting over little islands and provinces and drenching Europe with their blood, this most unmilitary president, without firing a shot, gathered in far richer spoilsman the victors in twenty-five gears of warfare divided among themselves at the congress of Vienna. As Jefferson’s election was a bloodless revolution, his purchase of the immense empire of Louisiana, which doubled the territory 'of the United States, was a bloodless conquest, the greatest peaceable an- ' nexation the world ever saw. Having made it, the flag was ne more than hoisted on the farther bank of the Mississippi than be dispatched Lewis U£d Clark and Captain Pike boldly to spy out the unexplored rivers and mountains of the new soil, so honestly won, and from which so many free states were to spring. Jefferson is the only president who remained the leader of his party after leaving the White House. . Indeed, the Democrats never have ceased to swear allegiance to his spirit.

FLORIDA LETTER.

Wheatfield Review— < Hypolux, Fia., Dec. 8. : Dear Editor:— i We are camping at Camp Myers I and are enjoying ourselves. The time passes so quickly, Brown and Swartz are fishing every day and are beginning to catch some whoppers. Bill said he seen a fish so large he removed his hook from the water so he wouldn’t lose hook, line and pole. Bill has been offered a job here as watchman to keep the coons out of the banana orchards, but he does not like night work. A man passed our camp today with 37 coon skins which he caught the night before. He said they only worked one night then laid off a month. We saw a big shark that was washed ashore and a fisherman ran up and cut its throat. There is practically no game laws here—fish and seine all you want. Frank Austin said one man made over S2OO in one day fishing. A native’s hunting license costs sl, but a tourist pays sls. About 60 miles from here is an island where the whiskey smugglers operate. One boat contains five men and a quantity of whiskey was upset and 3 of the men drowned, that makes the whiskey come high. The natives report plenty of deer and bear in the interior, but the trouble to get them makes the deer very dear. Snakes are very plentiful. Oscar shot a very large one. We enjoyed our trip. Our first night of camping we elected Bill to be the cook, and a rule that the first one to kick had to cook. I Bill is still the cook, even if the I beans were very salty Sunday morning. ’ Who did we see hiking it down the pike carrying his coat and wiping, the sweat from his brow, but Shorty Clager. He stayed for dinner and invited us down to the ' dredge boat where he is working digging a canal from the ocean into the Everglades. Shorty says there is lots of alligators where he is working. The trip was very interesting over the hills, the roads not being very bad. The state of I Georgia has several state owned I highways which are kept in repair by convicts. We saw several gangs of prisoners. The people along the trip are very good. You can camp anywhere. We saw lots of gray mules on the road but not the kind they use in Wheatfield. The soil here is very sandy and will grow anything if you keep the fertilizers going good. Bill Helmick is located at Lake Worth, 3 miles .north of Hypoluxo, and Bill is doing a large business. Lake Worth is a second Gary, almost springing up over night. Frank Austin has had several long talks with the bunch. He has turned over his big business to his son, Charlie. Nellie Austin made us a present of a King Mackerel and it sure was the best fish I ever ate. Fruit is of course plentiful here, but the ripe fruit can be pur1 chased just as cheap in the north. Most of the fruit is picked green fori ' shipment, and if you it on i the trees to ripen the coons scratch | it and destroy much of it. Tell ' Charlie Deming the game laws don’t. amount to much but they do require a tourist to have a license, i i What this country lacks in one thing ; they certainly make up in another. | i We have made several trips along the coast and have a nice collection }ef shells. Of course the water near Palm Beach is nearly always filled with mermaids but there is more of them on the sandy beach I than in the water. , . THE BUNCH.
