Thomas Jefferson.
By j. n. EDGE TON.

~ 1OMAS JEFFERSON, while the
great Democrat of his era. was
of rather aristocratic parentage
and had the advantage of lib
eral education. He was peculiarly,
considering his time and surroundings,
of the type of the scholar in politics.
That he should have been this and yet
the foremost American radical of his
day marks him as an odd combination
his career was his appointment to draft
the Declaration of Independence. This
came about from a double cauSe-Jef-
ferSon's reputation as writer of po!M
ical documents and the Jealousy felt
by certain members of congress toward
Richard Henry Lee, who had intro
duced the independence resolution.
Volumes have been written to disprove
Jefferson's authorship of the Declara-
ton, and widespread belief has per-
sisted even to the present that most
Of it, if not all, was really written by
Thomas Paine. However that may
have been, the fact that Jefferson was
appointed to prepare the document, the
consequent Inference that it was his
work and the reputation resultant
therefrom operated powerfully to make
him a political leader. In addition to
this, the unquestioned products of his
pen, breathing the spirit of advanced
democracy and the doctrines Of the
French revolution, tended to place him
at the head Of the growing democratic
sentiment in this country.
Jefferson's greatest power was his
optimistic faith in the people. He
trusted them, and they returned the
compliment. Herein is to be found
the secret of his success. He was not
a speaker. He belonged to the school
of the idealists rather than to that of
the practical politicians. He inclined
to be freetninker in religion. All
these things were handicaps rather
than helps toward popularity. 1t was
Jefferson's persistent advocacy of the
rights of the people and his implicit
trust in their judgment that made him
so strong with the masses. 1t was this
that made him the most commanding
figure at the beginning Of the nine
teenth century and an influential fac
tor from that day to the present.
In person Mr.. Jefferson was tall and
bony, with light eyes, ruddy complex

FRAncE.AnD THE CATHOLICS.

Good judges predict the end of the
war between civil and religious au-
thorities in France as the result of
cabinet approval OF the policy outlined
by M. BRAND and the vote In the
chamber approving the decision of the
ministry. His policy opposed the hos
tility of the socialists and offered what
to the minds of Americans is a rea-
sonable and just adjustment of the re-
lations between the church and the
state. BRAND stood for liberty of
Romanist to serve God and the ATHEIST
to deny Him, equally opposed to legal
intolerance on the part of one or the
other. He won in the chamber of dep
uties by vote Of 3s9 to IS.
1t was the common conclusion of
justice that appeals to all reasonable
men. To close Catholic churches and
prosecute communicants on account OF
their faith is to go back three centuries
to the Roman inquisition of Spain and
the English law that refused even a
place to lay his head to a Catholic.
Both are relics of an intolerance that
in these later days belongs to barbar-
ism
There must be no place in the world
where honest conviction may not have
an expression, and where the believers
in any religion based on morality may
not gather to the rituals of their faith.
Civil and religious liberty mean that
or mean nothing.
France has taken a step forward.
The church and state are separated,
not by the sword but by the admission
and protection of the inherent rights
of all mankind.

the BEST SECURITY.

| A prominent New York clergyman is
urging point on his ,,hurch that Is
| equally applicable and may be sensibly
adopted not only by all ether churches
4 and organizations, but should appeal to
/, every individual Membership in any
church, says the preacher, should not
pass in place of good and sufficient
bond upon those who hold positions OF
financial trust and responsibility. He
| would bond Tigidly every church Off
cial who has the handling of funds, and
| points out that a number of recent IN
stances where professions took the
place OF good security lave added ex-
ceptional point to his argument.
This is good hard sense from the
pulpit-something we are growing to
expect from that source. 1t has come
later than in other ard worldly or
CARNATIONS, but it is we'll that it has
come at last. Many church members
have been willing to ,antrust church
funds freely where in Individual busi-
\ p .4Is l4s-lE e
ness they would have required safe
security. Is there any reason whyfthe
church official should not furnish a
sufficient bond?
There is 81 natural inclination Ito
trust the man whose church member
ship and professions coincide with our
own. The leaders in the churches are
generally looked upon rs trustworthy
men. Generally they are all they SEEM
So we are led to put faith in knaves
and hypocrites who assume the livery
of heaven to serve the devil and their
own purposes.
Tracing the lives and operations of
almost every swindler who has de-
liberately wrecked a bank, it will be
found that the members of the church
of which he was leading light suf-
fered most severely. Nine out Of ten
of these men made religion a graft
When the New York clergyman warns
his flock and the public generally
against taking chances with a man
simply because he passes the contri-
button box on Sunday, and frowns on
all who fail to coincide with his pro-
fessed views, it is doing both church
and public good service.
Safeguard is simply common sense.
lit is no slur on Christianity or church
membership that bal. men attach
themselves to it for their own pur-
poses, 1t is no more an attack on
mans righteousness to require him to
give security to the chrrch or it's mem
bership than to find security on note
lat the bank. Business is business in
side the church and outside Of it.

THE OPEN LID.

Burlington Is a city ashamed. For
months it has figured in the press dis
patches as a city where men in pursuit
Eof legal business and protected by the
state laws were in danger of deadly
assault. Appeal has been made to the
governor for protection by anti-saloon
league attorneys who avowed fear for
their lives il they prosecuted their bus
mess In Burlington Why has this
lawlessness come to Burlington, city
that a few months ago was the seat
of a great moral awakening, and whose
average citizenship should equal that
of most Iowa cities? Perhaps the fol-
lowing from the Burlington Hawk Eye
may prove explanatory:
The attention of the mayor of Bur-
lington, who weakly permitted the re-
opening of the saloons on Sunday
shortly after his Inauguration, is re-
spectfully called to the statistics of
the experience Of st. Louis with the
lid on as given by Judge Senaca N.
Taylor, in a letter that was read at a
great popular demonstration in ST.
Louis last Sunday.
Then the Hawk-Eye quotes from the
letter referred to:
During the first four months that
the Sunday law was enforced, from
April to July, the polio q reports show
decrease in disturbar tce of the peace
cases of 10 per cent; of assault with
intent to kill. 80 per cent; drunkenness,

city.
The repeal Of the law would be a
great mistake. The liquor interests
have marshaled the rough element I'M
der their banner, and have spent mil
lions of dollars seekillggto accomplish
their aim. Since the lid went on the
brewery interests have had a weekly
loss on their sales averaging $4,000.

hungry wives to be beaten by hus-

NAL condition"
Continuing. the Hawk-Eye says:
There was no excuse for the mayor
of Burlington in yielding to the ex-
tremists in their demand for Sunday
re-opening. The majority Of the deal
ers had voted In their organization to
close. The conditions were favorable
for a permanent policy of Sunday clos
ing. The reopening has brought In its
wake long trail of demoralizing in
fluences. 1t Is to be regretted that
Burlington should slide backward IN
this respect while other cities are NOV
ing forward toward a nobler civiliza-
ton. Even Chicago. with all its wick
edness. Is making heroic struggle to
control the vices of that city.
1t Is all there in nutshell: When
the forces of vice run and control a
city It's shame Is foregone conclusion.
II Burlington permits the saloons to
dominate city politics it can expect a
government based on saloon needs and
guided by saloon interests. Reputation
is a ticklish thing in men or cities.
Cities as well as men are known by the
company they keep.
Keep the lid on. The stale laws on
the liquor traffic are wide enough to
make the business one OF the most
profitable in the state, more's the pity
Keep vice under the law. What right
has it to ask for the hours of sleep and
the Sundays of rest?
