LAST OF THE VIRcINIANs
1817-James Monroe, inaugu-
rated fifth president, aged
fifty-sioht.
1e31-JuIy 4, died In New York,
aged ssventy-three.

hFONROE'S administration was
WI the most serene and yet one of
the most important periods in the life
of the nation. 1t was an eight years
crowded with glorious and lasting VIC
tories of peace, such victories as
swords nnver can win.
BY a mere exchange of notes be-
tween the United States and England,
those two Jealous neighbors pledged
themselves to disarm forever on the
great lakes. BY common-sense bust
ness transaction, Florida, which was
Of little use to Spain, but Of much
use to the United States, was bought
over the counter in 1920, peaceable
conquest that ranks only second to
the Louisiana purchase. BY civil no.
tice to the old world, In 1923, the
whole new world was set aside under
the Monroe doctrine as an immense
preserve Of International peace. BY
give-and-take in the Missouri compro-
mise in 1920, North and South were
bound together anew, though with
1djSe Ties.
Monroe's two terms cover what is
known as the "era Of good feelings"
The old Federalist party having given
up the ghost, he succeeded to the pres
idency as the last Of the Virginia dy-
nasty almost as easily as an heir ap-
parent receives the crown Of his IA
ther Washington's second election
would have been entirely unanimous
had not New Hampshire elector cast
one dissenting ballot.
Yet that ''era Of good feeling"
really was filed with many bitter
feelings aroused by personal ,ambi-
tons and the quarrels Of factions.
But Monroe formed one of the strong
est cabinets in history, and, with John
Quincy Adams, William Fl. Crawford,
John c. Calhoun and William Writ

Justice DuVall sat on a case of
some Importance last night. Mr.
Bjerke, of Nome, was suing Mr.. Box
rud, who was attempting to get out
of a board BILL The amount asked
for by the plaintiff was $5O24, and
after hearing the case Judge DuVall
decided that inasmuch as the other
fellow had eaten up the good grub of
the plaintiff it should be paid for so
he gave judgment accordingly. This
is one of those cases that should be
settled out of court but wasn't and as
consequence when they go into court
with these matters it costs about twice
as much as the original bill. We sup
pose, however, there is an element Of
liking to beat out the other fellow.

among It's members, he succeeded in
reconciling to his administration the
most divergent elements. In his de-
sire for harmony, he would also have
included Henry Clay and Andrew
Jackson, but they declined.
One day the British minister glared
across the White House dinner table
and shouted to the French minister:
Are you biting your nails at me,
sir?" The Frenchman responded
by drawing his sword, and the two
diplomats rushed at each other. But
as they were about to clash, the pres
ident drew his own sword between
them and stopped the fight.
That little incident gives US pic
ture of the spirit of Monroe and his
administration. While he was in the
White House, men and factions had
to leave their quarrels at the door.
The quiet, modest president was not
so successful in keeping the peace
among the women of the official cir
Gle, and their disputes over social rank
and precedence brewed many squalls.
Although Jim Monroe, as he was
Familiarity called. was the last presi-
dent to cling to the ancient knee
breeches, .cockade and sword, he was
as plain and easy as an old shoe.
When newly arrived European
diplomat saw q bald-headed, watery-
eyed man In a striped seersucker
coat, a dirty waistcoat spotted with
ink and with slippers down at the
heel writing at White House desk,
he wondered that the president
would have such slovenly clerk un-
til he was dumfounded to find that
he was in the presence Of the president
himself.
In the six years that remained to
Monroe after retiring from the presi-
dency, he set himself, as an ex-presi-
dent, a high standard of conduct.
Having received the supreme honor
at the hands of all the people, he felt
that his name belonged to them and
he refused to lend it to any candidate
or any party.
Feeble and alone after the death
of his wife, Monroe sold Oak Hill,
his Virginia farm, in the closing
months of his life. With the feeling
of an exile, the last of the Virginians
left his native state to live with a SON
in-law in New York city, where he
died on July 4. 1881, 4

against the old Virginia custom OF
setting up the drinks. His morality
was mistaken for stinginess and the
thirsty voters flocked to the capa'
cious barrel of his opponent, who was
elected. The defeated candidate had
to wait a dozen years for his first
chance to distinguish himself. Still
no time was lost, for, while he was

If Madison had not been crossed and

catch him on his human side at all
and only yawn over this prosy, serious,
studious, cool-tempered unaggressive,
weakened, little great man. He was
already a mature bachelor of thirty
two and q member of the Continental
congress, when sixteen-year-old girl
in his Philadelphia boarding house
was the first to touch a soft spot in
his heart. A young clergyman who
hung and sighed over her harpischord
cut him out, and he was painfully
awakened from his first dream of love
by a letter of dismissal which, for rea-
sons unknown to this later generation,
the young miss sealed with a pinch
of rye dough.

Madison himself was staying at an

JAMES MADISON

4 S JAMES MADISON made great
"A name for himself before entering
the presidency and added nothing to it
while in the White House, it must be
that he was good deal of man but
not much Of president.
Like all the more famous Virgin
ians, Madison was not of the highest
aristocracy, but the son of a plain.
well-to-do farmer in an outlying coun-
ty. His early life was passed at Mont
pelier, the farm which his grandfather
had wrested from the Indians; from
it he drew his, only private income
and at last he was buried in it's soil.
He was dependent on his father until
he was fifty, when the latter died and
the place became his own, with 100
slaves, who continued always to ad-
dress him simply as master Jimmy"
Standing only five feet six inches
and one-quarter inches, he was, with
Grant the smallest of our presidents.
Naturally thin and frail his zeal for
study nearly wrecked his health while
q student at Princeton college, where
for months at time he slept only
three hours out Of the "a. Unified
for military duty when the Revolution
came, he went to the Virginia legisla-
ture instead. Yet this seemingly
broken-down young man was destined
to be the longest lived Of all the presi-
dents, with the single exception Of
John Adams.

the legislature, Madison revolted

pride and display of the old families
who formed the viceregal court at WILL
liamsburg.
To support the large family of his
mother on their too small farm Jeffer-
son turned to the law. In seven years
at the bar he doubled his estate and
increased his slaves to 400. Buying
the little mountain at whose feet he
was born, he built upon it's summit
from plans of his own drawing, with
bricks of his own making and with
wood of his own cutting, the nOblest
house in all Virginia. There at Mon
ticello he made his home ever after.
Jefferson's law practice continued
rapidly to grow until it amounted to
$500 a year, when he abandoned it
forever to prosecute George III in the
great and general court of mankind.
He had heard the first call of the Rev.
olution while law student in Will
liamsburg. Its clarion had been ring
ing in his ears ever since he stood, an
eager looker-on, in the door Of the
house of burgesses. He saw Washing
ton in his seat and he saw his own
friend, Patrick Henry, a fiddling Vir-
ginian like himself, holding the floor
amid cries of treason as he invited the
king to profit by the example of Gaze
sar, who had his Brutus, and Charles
I, who had his Cromwell.
The sword, the tongue and the pen
of American freedom were well met
that memorable day. After the pen
had waited twelve years for its turn
to speak Jefferson sat in the congress
at Philadelphia. The squire of Month
cello was silent member, as silent
as the squire of Mount Vernon. Op-
portunity and duty went straight to
those two speeches. congressman as
the needle leaps to a loadstone.
After serving as governor of Vir-
ginia and member of congress Jeffer-
son was sent as minister to the court
Of France. you replace Doctor Frank

on his arrival in Paris. II succeed
him." the new envoy happily replied;
mo one can replace Doctor Franklin"
Six weeks and day after he had
seen that old France of the Bourbons
crash beneath the walls of the Bastille
Jefferson left Paris to become our first
secretary Of state. Taking his seat at
the right of Washington he was face
to face across the cabinet table with
Alexander Hamilton, the secretary Of
the treasury.
BY nature and training the two
were as opposite in their political opin-
ions as in their chairs, and they found
themselves, as Jefferson said, "pitted
like fighting cocks" As they fought
and the feathers flew great crowd
collected behind each to urge. on its
favorite in that cooking main over
which Washington had the unhappi-
ness to preside. Quickly all the people
In the land took one side or the other
and formed themselves into the two
political parties which with changing
names and changing disputes have d.
vided the country to this day.

On the question of issuing bonds for
new building for the light and wat
er plant and for buying new boilers
and equipment for the city heating
plant, the voters Of the city evidently
thought it was something of import
ance and need to the community.
There were $50 votes for it and 191
against, giving a majority of $50 for
the bonds. Evidently the Valley City
people want to protect the light and
water plant and to increase its eff
