IN this date John Quincy Adams,
sixth president of the United
States, was born in Massachusetts,.
His name is not a household word and
his face does not appear on any postage
stamp. Yet no American ever stirred
up more ill-feeling during his life OF was
buster doing it OF had a larger public
career or more patriotism to the square
inch OF contributed more ancestors and
descendants to who's Who in America"
Adams was an infant prodigy. The
Adams's had been great people for sew
eral generations. and when John Quincy
was born in 1867, his father, John, was
helping to form the United States Of
America, and was already thinking out a
few hasty remarks to make when he be-
came president. John Quincy Adams was
learned man at 10, and was secretary
to an embassy to Russia at 10. He was
small, pale lad with a head like a
planet and he kept on stuhing it with
Latin and political economy and history
until when he graduated from Harvard
people used to verify their encyclopedias
by him.
John Quincy was a born insurgent and
attacked everything violently and ably.
He went into politics early and became
an ambassador, a special commissioner
and a senator, msurging himself out of
office each time with great cheerfulness.
Later he taught rhetoric in Harvard and
did odd Jobs such as writing treaties and
doing cabinet work under Monroe. He
was universally admired for his learning
and the way in which his vast polished
dome Of reason got pink and flushed
while he fed nine syllabled eloquence to
his opponents, and in 1924 he was elected
president by one vote. His old father,
who had been president a quarter of
century before, had hung around until

died happy the next year.
John Quincy Adams served four years
with great eonscientiousness and no
tact, standing firmly for everything no
body else wanted. and making enemies
with almost inconeeivable ardor. He
was defeated for reelection by an enor-
nous majority, but did not mind it, hav-
ing long been accustomed to defeat. He
didn't sit around waiting for the people
to decide what to do with their expresi-
dent, but at once plunged into new
political career, going to congress on an
Abolition platform. He served Y years
and dropped dead in lS4S in the middle
of his llS7th speech against the slave
traffic.
John Quincy Adams is famous chiefly
as a man who was willing at any time
to be dubbed over the head because of
his principles. He is also growing in
fame constantly as an ancestor. His
sons and grandsons became famous. and
the Addms's are still asked to sit on the
stage a all public gatherings in Massa.
