JOHN QUINCY ADAMS

JOHN QUINCY ADAMS alone has solved the problem of ex-Presidents. He forgot that he had been President at all and went to work like any other citizen. Until John Quincy set this truly democratic example, people still look ed upon Presidents more like old world Kings than as new world servants and ex-Presidents were expected to bear themselves like dethroned monarchs. Forbidden to earn their living and required to keep up. a semi-Presidential state, two of our earlier Presidents were reduced to want in their retirement and did not leave enough money to meet the cost of burying them. With his houses in Quincy and Boston mortgaged and the income from his estate too slender for the support of hi3 family, John Quincy heard the ominous bark of the wolf at his door as, in his gloomy fancy, he closed it upon public life in his 62nd year. When some neighbors ventured to ask the next year if it would be beneath his dignity to represent the old Plymouth Rock District in Congress, this great I American, who had been a Senator, Minister at the courts ofe Hague, i i n j , k.) l. x ctriauuif; (in n iuuuuii, a Secretary of State and a President replied that he was not above serving the people as one of the Selectmen of his town. " Washington was aghast at the sight of an ex-President taking his seat in the fcurly burly of the Lower House only two years after leaving the White House. Without joining the Democrats or the Whigs, without any faction about him. John Quincy faced alone the Jackson administration which had supplanted his own and alone he met a swarm of his old-time critics on a level. Nor did he ever ask any special consideration for the high honors he had worn, because he had laid them aside. Although not an anti-slavery agitator, he felt in duty bound to present . the various petitions he received pray ing for the abolition of slavery in the IMstrict of Columbia or for the overthrow of the system everywhere. At first his action in the matter excited little attention. But as the abolition movement in the North grew more aegressive, the Southern member grew more sensitive. In its perplexity, the stupid House, like an ostrich," stuck its head in the sand to avoid hearing the rising outcry and foolishly voted no longer to permit the people to address their Representatives on the subject. That was a challenge to John Quincy's sense of justice and love of liberty and he boldly took it up. Thenceforth through eight stormy yenrs he fought a hand-to-hmd fight with the slave interests ot the South and tlioir allies, the moneved interests!

In the first two months of 1S2S, he presented more than 500 such papers, only to have them "laid on the table." A st ill larger number was submitted by him on a: single day in 1 S 10. "Expel him!"

Although his cer.sure wa as moved six times in the of those bitter struggles, ly House flinched from long course the cowardfacing the issue and no one of the motions was brought to a vote. At the outset John Quincy's singlehanded battle seemed hopeless. He grimly faced in his diary the probability that be would find himself in bis last days "forsaken by all mankind." At one time, most of the members of his committee resigned their places rather than associate with him. Nevertheless under his incessant pounding, the majority against the right of petition fell session by session until it. disappeared entirely in 44. He had won his long fight against the gag rule and his diary is lit up with his rejoicing in victory: "Blessed, forever blessed be the name of God." His life was crowned. His work was done. Still he labored on. Although

A year afterward, as he seemed about to rise to address the Speaker, he suddenly pitched forward upon the floor. Speaker Winthrop was on the point of putting a o.uestion, but was arrested by the startled outcry of "Stop! Stop, Mr. Adams!" The veteran had been mortally stricken on the field. Although he lingered two days, he was not removed from the Capitol, but remained in a little room off the old hall of the House. There, still at his post, died this old and devoted servant of his country. 2 KILLED, 6 HURT IN MINE BLAST (By Associated Tress) TERRE HAUTE, Ind., May 1.

The work was undertaken by direction of the Prince, also known as the Duke of Sermoneta, head of the Caetani family, in the Pontine Marshes, near the Duke's vast estate of Cisterna, forty miles from Rome. The Pontine ilarshcs constitute the swampy torest country which stretch - j es between the Roman Campagna and Terracina. a region which the nrince has labored for years to reclaim. On the sea. hore of this strange volcanic region there are three lakes or latroons. called Foeliano.

MAY DAY, TROUBLE DAY FOR WORKERS DF PUROPE'S CITIES n illy Associated Press) LONDON, May 1. The approach of May Day, the traditional date for strikes and labor demonstrations in Europe, finds the labor situation throughout that continent In a condition or ferment, with prospects of a general 24-hour strike in Paris, threat of a general railway strike throughout Frsnce and disturbed conditions In most European countries. May Day in Europe is vastly different from May Day in the United States. While ia America laborunions make no special effort to enforce their demands on May Day, those of Europe have always regarded this as a favorable date for demonstrations and strikes. The situation in France appears to b more threatening than elsewhere on the continent. Labor leaders in Paris rvftl attempt to "stop everything but the clock" for 24 hours on Saturday. May 1, as a demonstration against

present economic conditions. The labor situation was made morr perilous there by decision. of the congress of French railway workers to call a general strike in France to enforce revolutionary demands. The success of this strike depends, however, upon co-operation by the genera federation of labor, the conservative wing of the French railroad organization. Syndicalists Interested. All branches of syndicalist labor ir Belgium except the railway men have been called upon to take part in the general 24-hour strike on May 1. So far as known here no special demonstrations have been prepared for May Day, either in Spain, Germany or Italy. Several Italian industrial centers have been the scenes of numer ous strikes during April, some or which are continuing. This situation generally prevails in some Spanish cities. The labor situation throughout Germany has been in a disturbed condition since the Kapp r?volution. but no special demonstrations have been called for May Day. Seventy thousand industrial workers have been on strike in Vienna, but there has been nothins j 1o indicate renewed demonstrations In Austria on Ma- Day. Guerilla War Advocated By Sinn Fein Article ' (By Associated Press DUBLIN, May 1. An article en titled "guerilla warfare" which sheds new light on assassinations in Ireland has been discovered in the effects of Paul John Vignoiss. of Cork, recently tried by courtmartial and sentenced to six months imprisonment "for having in Ms possession an issue of the official organ of the Irish volunteers." "It Is the duty of Volunteers to recognize in all their plans, in methods of training and study, and in their general outlook, the existence of this state of guerilla warfare and all that it implies," says the article, which has been made public in an official communication. "It is our business to develop those guerilla tactics which we have found most serviceable in dealing with actual conditions in Ireland at present, and to bring them to the highest pitch of perfection of which they are capable. -It is our business to wage war against the forces of the. invaders whenever and however we find it can be done most effectively."
