I'D ROBABLY John Adams was the
n unhappiest man who ever sat in
the presidential chair. One of dozen
unwantcd presidents, who were taken
only because the men that were want
ed could not be elected, this humble
role embittered all the remaining days
Of the proudest man in the line of our
chief magistrates.
1t was hard enough for Adams to
be the understudy even Of George
washington, while serving as vice
president. When he became president
1T was maddening to his ego that he
should be expected to play second fld-
die to Alexander Hamilton, the mas
ter spirit Of the old governing class,
LETT over from colonial times and
which controlled the Federalist party.
The president made the fatal mis-
take Of keeping Washngton's cabinet,

The principal problem he added, now

border and lack Of sympathy on the
part of local officials with prohibition
are given as the chief reasons for
prevailing wetness.
one or the worst spots is Detroit,
which is separated from wet Canadian

which really had passed under the
control Of Hamilton, who presumed to
direct the new administration, very
much as 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 Jcffcrsonian dcmOc-
racy in our yet ariStOcratic republic.
In their alarm they frantically rushed
through congress ME alien and scdi-
ton acts, which became only mill
stones about their necks, sinking their
party forever. Not satisfied with
shutting the revolution out of the New
World, many Of them were for join
Ing the mOnarchical 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 1t,
after which the president astOnished
the jingoes by suddenly throwing them
over and returning to 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, If for
only few months. On the way from
Philadelphia she and the president
lost their trail In the wilderness until
a "straggling black" came to their as
sistaace.
The capitol was yet unfinished, and
out Of dcsolate bog, far off, the un-
finished White House rose to view.
There was neither fence nor tree
about the structure, and the presi-
dents nearest neighbOr dwelt half
mile away. Mrs. Adams had hard
time to get wood enough to keep her
family warm in the big, bleak man
sion, and she smiles at us still as her
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
TorcStati his successor, Adams drove
out of Washington at the dawning of
the day of Jeffersons 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.
After his brave, good helpmeet had
been taken from him, he lived on
eight years more, lived to see what no

For our Meat Cars
When you see a Swift Refrig-
orator Car going by in train, it
seems simple thing that it should
be carrying fresh meat up and down
the country.
| like most of the packer activities which
contribute to your welfare, you are so used
| to having this going on uninterruptedly,
day in day out throughout the year, that
/ you are likely to take it as a matter ofcourse
But it is not matter Of course Every
car you see going by means long hours of
minute scientific, painstaking care in prep
/ aration for what it is doing
/ Every time car comes in it is washed
out thoroughly with scalding water. If any
taint, any foreign matter, were present, this
would get rid fit. Even the meat hooks
| are taken down from the racks and scalded
| with water and live steam
| When the car is thoroughly cleansed we
| put IN 5000 pounds Of ice. But that
is only preliminary. 1t only cools the car
! to the proper temperature BY the time
the car is moved over to receive it's load,
this first ice is melted More is then
put in to keep the car cool.
Then the meat is hung on the sterilized
hooks and the load of food is ready for it's
journey. 1t arrives as it leaves, clean,
fresh, wholesome, appetizing; and your
meat supply goes on unaffected by seasons
or weather.
This is only part of the service which
Swift & Company furnishes, at profit
to itself SO small-averaging fraction of a
cent per pound on all products over a period
ofyears-that if the profit were handed on to
the consumer, it would make difference Of
less than nickel week in the meat bill Of
the average American family.

PROGRESSIVE PARTY

iLLlNOlSAN IN RACE.

The closest friends of the late Col.
Theodore Roosevelt and former lead
ers of the Progressive party in ILL
nois and other states of the middle
West are enthusiastically supporting
Gov. Frank O. Lowden's candidacy for
the Republican nomination for presi-
dent. United States Senator Medill
Mccormick is one of the most active
workers in Gov. Lowden's behalf, both
In Washington and in Chicago.
Other former Progressives who are
fighting for Lowden in the present
campaign are: Harold L. Ickes, form
er chairman of the national committee
of the Progressive party; Congress-
man Ira c. 'Copey of Aurora; B. F.
Harris of Champaign; Frank Fl. Funk
of Bloomington, Progressive party
candidate for governor of Illinois in
1912; George III. Porter of Chicago,
and Thomas D. Knight, former presi-
dent of the Chicago Progressive club,
Col. Roosevelt was the guest of Gov.
Lowden for three days at the execu-
tive mansion in Springfield, ILL.,, in Au-
gust, and again in October, 1918.
If nominated for president Gov.
Lowden will. in the opinion of the
leaders, unite all factions of the party.
He is perhaps the only candidate men
toned acceptable to the old leaders
as well as to the Progressive element.

l0WDEN CUTS
TAXES THIRD
IN TWO YEARS
Illinois Executive Shows That
Business Methods More Than
Counterfeit High Prices.
A RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENTS
Executive Departments Consolidated
Business Men Put in Office
Sound Financial Policy Ap-
piled to State
Affairs.

Gov. Frank D. LoWden'S great rec
ord as war executive of Illinois has
made him one of the leading candi-
dates for the Republican nomination
for president. 1t is story of admin
istrative achievements. Every pledge
to the people has been redeemed.
Despite high prices and unsettled
conditions due to the war, Gov. Low
den, by the practical application of
business methods to the management
of the states affairs, reduced the tax
rate in Illinois 33 per cent in two
years. His friends are certain that he
can do for the nation what he has
done for Illinois in the matter of good
government and lower taxes if he Is
given the opportunity.
When Governor Lowden assumed Of
fee as executive of Illinois in Janu-
airy, 1917, the state treasury was prac-
tically bankrupt. There was only $3.50
to the credit of the general fund.-
when outstanding bills had been paid.
One of his first official acts was to
abolish many political jobs by COM
bining the work of 125 different de-
partments and bureaus into nine COM
pact central departments. Gov. Low
den also had the state adopt budget
system which he thought would be
model for other commemorative. He
placed business men and trained ex-
perts in charge of each of these de-
partments with gratifying results to
the taxpayers.
The cost of conducting the state
government was reduced hundreds of
thousands of dollars a year while the
quality of service to the public showed
marked Improvement. The effects
of a business administration in the
state were manifest in a short time.
The state gradually built up a cash
balance and was able to discount it's
bills.
AS practical illustration of what
good government means it is officially
estimated that Illinois will have
cash balance of $9S77, 225 on hand
July /, 1920, in spite of a reduction of
SO per cent in the tax rate. This is
what Gov. Lowden's business admins
tration has done for Illinois,
In addition to these things Gov
Lowden succeeded in accomplishing
these concrete results:
Began work on the states S60,000,-
600 od roads system. Two hundred
miles of good road were built last year
One thousand miles will be completed
in 1920.
Authorized the beginning of work on
the last link of the states system of
waterways, which will connect the
Great Lakes with the Mississippi river
Obtained needed tax reforms for the
people.
Reorganized the states penal and
charitable institutions ON a humane
basis
Brought about a constitutional con-
vention for Illinois, which is now in
session forming new basic law for
the state.
Friends of Gov. Lowden believe that
actions speak louder than words, and
they point to his public record as evil
dence that he is the type of man need
ed for president in this critical period
of the conntry's history.
