only because the men that were want

-oie emaittered au the remaining days
Of the proudest man IL the line OF cur
chief magistrates.
It. was hard enough Tor Adams 10
6e the un6erstudy even OF George
Washington, while serving as vice
president. When he became president
* was n,addening to bis ego that he
should be expected 30 play second Nc
die TO Alexander Hamilton. the taas-
ter spirit OF the old governing class,
left over from colonial times and
which controlled the Federslist party.
The president made the fatal mis-
take of keeping WashSngton,s cabinet,
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1920-08-03

which really had passed under the
control of Hamilton, who presumed to
direcs the new administration, very
rnuc., as Tammany boss puts Tam
many mayor through his PAGES. AS
Adams never had succeeded in ruling
himself it was impossible for another
to rule tiis.
Like eristocracies everywhere, the
Federalists were thrown into state
Of panic by the French revolution and
By the rise OF the JefferSonian democ-
racy IN our yet aristocrstic republic.
IL their alarm they franticaliy rushed
through congress the alien and seGi-
fior acts, which became only mill
stones about their necss, sinking their
party forever. Not satisfied with
shutting, the revolution cut of the New
World. many Of them were for join,
ing the nonarchical coalition against 1t
in the Old World. In an uproarious
quarrel with the absurd French direc-
tory. the militia was called out and
Washington summoned to command il,
after which the president astonished
the jingoes by suddenly throwing them
over and returning to q pacific policy.
AS he had been the first minister
70 England, John Adams vas also the
first president 70 take up his residence
n Washington. AS Mrs. Adams had
been the wife OF 'tGe first American
envoy IL London she was also the first
mistress OF the White House, if for
only few months. On the way from
Philadelphia she and the president
lost their trail IN the wilderness Until
. Struggling black came TO their as
siStance.
The capitol was YET unfinished, and
ont Of 0 desoiate bog, fer OF, the un-
finished White House rose to view.
There was neither q fence nor 8 tree
about the structure. and the presA-
dents nearest ae;ghbor dWelt hal5 q
mile away. Mrs Adams had & hard
time TO get wood enough to keep her
Gami!y warm Ia the big, bleak Kan
sion and she srlies at US sill as her
letters tell Us Of how she hung her
washing to cry ii the great east room.
after sitting at his desk until mid
night hastily signing appointments, to
forestan his successor, adams drove
out of Washington ST the daWning OF
the day CT JeTerson'S Inauguration.
He had 10 smiles TO hestow on the
triumph Of his rival, anu few enough

remaining years.
after his brave, good heipmeet had
been taken from him, he lived On
eight years more, lived to see what no
other ex-president has seen, a son IN
