JEFFERSON NO ENEMY OF HOME

One OF the great central ideas Of
Thomas jefferson was that this coun-

Voluminous writings show that this was
O. hobby OF the father of the Demo-
cratic party.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
And yet n plank in the platform of
1900, upon which Mr.. Jefferson was first
elected President was as follows: ZEN
COURAGEAIENT OF SCIENCE AND
THE ARTS IN ALL THEIR
BRANCHES. to the end that the
American people may PERFECT
THEIR INDEPENDENCE OF ALL
FOREIGN MONOPoLIEs, institutions
and Influences"
That Jefferson may have been for
free trade seems to be true. and from
that the Chicago paper nfers what
this platform of 1900 so natly and fully
refutes. But the ignorance and inaccu-

his books. but for all art. Using the

Or they will not be catched whateer

simple way of saying what Brown
ing does
art may tell a truth
Obliqucly so the thing shall breed tho

mediate word"
Another reason why we arc surprised
at Bunyan's astonishing success in lit
erature is that he seems 10 have had
no literary training whatever. He says
he never went to school TO Aristotle or
Plato; he evidently forgot how to write
and had to learn again by himself.
There is no evidence that he read any
book besides the bible. How, then. are
we to account for the writing OF "Pil-
grim's Progress" 1t Is the old story
of the self-education OF genius. He had
as a child and as man strong imasi-
nation; the stories OF the bible and
the teachings of his mother and father
were deeply realized by him. Heaven
and hell, the angels and devils and
hobgoblins were as real as his own life.
This sensitive mind might have be-
come InOTDIu, lnuccU, SO IL was LOT a
long time, but his healthy, human
sense triumphed. In his early life his
contact with men was of inestimable
value to him. From that contact came
his knowledge of human nature and
his home-bred common sense. There
| was nothing of the ascetic in Bunyan' S
nature; he had the sense of humor, and
| in everything that he wrote we feel the
| human interest-prc- eminently in Pill
| grim's Progress" AS Mr. Froude has
| pointed out, his confinement in Bed
| ford Jail was n good thing for him.
| There he had time to reflect. to read. to
| dream; while If he had been at liberty
| to preach all the time he would have
| scattered his powers. His Imagination.
| his knowledge of the world. his life of
| reflection in the prison and. more than
| all these, his constant reading of the
| bible. contributed 10 the development
| OF his artistic nature.
| 1t is difficult for n man OF the nine
teenth century to enter sympathetically
| into the life of the first half OF the
| seventeenth. Our theology Is many
stages removed from puritan theology:
4; Is n long call from Milton to Brown
| ing and from Bunyan to Phillips Brooks
| and Lyman Abbott. We don't hear
much nowadays about repentance and
pardon for sin. and justification by
faith and hell fire. "Pilgrlm's Pro-
sress" and Grace Astounding" are
written in n peculiar style. His use of
| antique words has O. tendency to keep
people from reading his books. but
