which really had passed under the
control of Hamilton, who presumed to-
direct the new administration, very
much as a Tammany boss puts Tam
many mayor through his PAGES. As
Adams never had succeeded In ruling
himself 1t was impossible for another
to rule him.
Like aristocracies 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 aristocratic republic.
In their alarm they frantically rushed
through congress the alien and sedk
ton acts, whick became only MILL
stones about their necks, sinking their
party forever.A Nc satisfied with
shutting the reyciutssn outscf the New
World, many Of them were for join
ing the monarchical coalition against IL
In the Old World. In an uproarious
quarrel with the absurd French direc-
tory, the, militia was called out and
Washington summoned to command it,
after which the president astonished
the jingoes by suddenly throwing them
over and returning to a pacific policy.
AS he had been the first minister
to England, John Adams was also the
first president to take up his residence
In Washington. AS Mrs. Adams had
been the wife Of the first American
envoy in London she was also the first
mistress of the White House, II for
only few months. On the way from
Philadelphia she and the presidentI
lost their trail in the wilderness until
q struggling black" came to their as-I
sistance.
The capitol was yet unfinished, and
out of a desolate bog. far of, the uni
finished White House rose to view.
There was neither a fence nor treel
about the structure, and the presi-
dents nearest neighbor dwelt half al
mile away. Mrs. Adams had hard
time to get wood enough to keep herl
family warm in the big. bleak man
sion, and she smiles at us still as herl
letters tell us Of how she hung her
washing to dry in the great east room.
After sitting at his desk until mid
night hastily signing appointments, TO
forestall his success0F. Adams drove
out Of Washington at the dawning Of
the day Of Jeffsrson's inauguration.
He had no smiles to bestow on the
triumph Of his rival, and few enough
to light his own pathway through his
remaining years.

The Suffrage Amendment.

Editor Post Dispatch:
In view Of the general interest
shown in woman suffrage and
ratification Of the proposed 10Th
amendment to the Federal Con
|stitution, and in view Of the
misconceptions on which much
|of the discussion is based, it
seems timely and fitting to state
the exact wording of the pro
posed amendment:
Section /. The right of citi.
zens Of the United States to vote
shall not be denied or abridged
by the United States or by any
State on account of sex.
Section 2. The Congress shall
have power by appropriate legis
lation to enforce the provisions
of this article" ~
| It will be clearly seen that thi:
amendment will not establish
the voting qualifications for citi
zens. This will be the function
of the State, as at present. i
Twill enfranchise negro womer
on exactly the same terms az
negro men are now enfranchised
1t will also enfranchise white
women on exactly the same
terms as white men are now en-
tranchised.
The proposed amendment viii
give the United States no more
power to enforce the negro
woman's right to vote than the
United States now has to enforce
the negro mans right to vote.

First Bale of Cotton.

The first bale of cotton for the
new crop was gathered near
Edirburg, Texas, Friday of last
week and sold on Saturday in
front of the New Orleans cotton
exchange for 81, 0O0-$3O0 going
to the grower and $500 of the
auction price to Tulane Univer-
sity. This bale is four days
earlier than the first Texas bale
last year.
The Governments condition
report will be issued tomorrow
friday at 1890, for the condi.
ton of the crop to June 25th.
The condition to May 18th was
GA, but it is expected that the
condition figures tomorrow will
be around 68.5 per cent. The
1O-year average to June 18th is
1913.
The present crop promises to
be the sixth successive short
crop. Only once before in the
history of the world has there
been six successive short crops
of one commodity when Joseph
took charge of the grain situa.
ton In Egypt.
Both the New York and New
Orleans markets will be closed
on Saturday and Monday in OBJ
servance of independence Day.

This IS the sort Of twaddle
some of our North Carolina Rad
icals are handing out for sensible
people to swallow; the item re-
ferred to appeared last week as
political advertising in The Grit,
published at Siler City:
1--WE favor the League, with reser-
y vations. Let Lodge fix it and we
win accept it. But we are afraid of
from the hands Of man that came
back from Europe loaded down with
valuable gifts that would be q fortune
to poor man like us"
The mind that conceived such
a slanderous attack upon the
President or the Uuited States
should abjectly ashamed of itself
The above charge that Mr.
Wilson was bribed or unduly
influenced by France and Eng
is unworthy an American citizen
Why can't the League Of Nations
or any other political matter, b
discussed and argued without re
sorting to such under-handed in
situations as emanates from thi
Republicans pie-hungry mind!

CAM MORRISON for GOVERNOR
Fourth of July.

THE Fourth of July again
draws near. The greatest day
our nation ever saw; the day that
instituted the liberty all now en-
Joy, and laid the foundation for
the greatest republic on the face
of the earth, delegating to all
equal rights, equal justice and
the pursuit of happiness.
In thousands of towns the
Fourth will be observed with
commemorative exercises, bands
will play, fireworks used and pic
MICS enjoyed, as will be the case
in a number of places next Mon
day in Richmond county.
But while the Day will be re-
membered in various ways, by
some boisterously, others quietly,
there is no getting away from
the fact that never in our history
should a comparison be made as
NOW. We of the present gener-
alton are cock-sure and proud; in
comparison we suffer with our
forefathers. Sometimes we are
inclined to pity the men Of years
ago and to feel that the civiliza-
ton of our day is far in advance
of theirs. True, there are more
wonderful inventions now, great
er cities, larger buildings. electric
appliances ETC., but how about
our dispositions, our will to DO?
That's the rub-OUR WILL TO
DO! Surely we suffer by COM
parison. It would be a mighty
good thing if we in this country
during this age of restlessness
and discomfort could get a little
of our forefathers' feeling for in
dependence. On that day July
A, 1776- LA years ago, what kind
of a vision did they see? Was it
a petty independence for the In
dividual who seeks only the graft
fication Of his own rights and de-
sires regardless of the rights and
desires of others? In those days
they probably called such an in
dividual selfish; in these days we
call him a Bolshevist.
Often one hears the expression
Though seldom in our own Rich
mond county, that American
independence is a thing of the
past"
Nine times out of ten this mis-
guided person will give his YER
sion Of independence" as being
the license to pay no school taxes
when he has no children to edu-
cate, that his chickens should be
allowed to run at large to the
annoyance Of his neighbor, and
a dozen other things which may.
make the world safe for his own
ideas Of independence but which
would be ruinous to the indie
pendence Of his fellow men;
These men who pirate 70 much
about independence simply mean
that they wish toliye tier own
Iiyeswith eathqgght Of others
