west the Mississippi River and Alaska because without Louisiana which at that time included all the country along the bank of the Father of Waters, from Minnesota to the Gulf, there would have been Texas annexation or purchase of Cali fornia and other territory from Mexico. The Oregon
 territory would have gone to Great Britain to be- come part of Canada, without dispute, and the United States would have had for Alaska or Hawaii and other Pacific Islands. If it had not been for the Louisiana purchase all the country of the Mississippi would, doubt have become British with the fall of Napoleon. Great Britain would again have become the dominating factor on ed States had been successful in with Great Britain for possession contend would in evitably have followed
 It was Jefferson who maintained the right of American commerce to the freedom of the seas, and laid the foundation for coaswise shipping laws, reserving the right to American shipping solely engage in American port to port
 It Jefferson who urged Monroe to purchase Florida, and he the author of the principle of the Monroe Doctrine when he wrote in 1896 that the time would when the United States must announce to the world that European monarchies would not be permitted to extend their holdings or influence in the Americas. Later, while Monroe was President and the world interested in the revolt of the American colonies of Spain and Por- tugal, he wrote to the President that the time had arrived for the declaration he had outlined more than dozen years before, and the Monroe admin isration, through Secretary of State John Quincy Adams, felt out the British government ascertain how it would take such declaration. Great Britain, fearful of the recently formed Holy Alliance, mmed- lately suggested that it would approve of such a move the part of the American Republic, and the Monroe Doctrine born.
 This is a brief resume of the public ac- complishments of Jefferson. In addition to these, it his pen and voice that expression to the soul of the Republic that destined to lead world thought and action. He his country s schoolmaster. It from him that Clay and Lin coln, well Crawford and Calhoun, Jackson and
 Benton, Cass and Douglas learned their lessons and gained their inspirations
 It is not wonder that Judge Estee, one of the
 most learned of the lawyers of the Pacific Coast, said that Jefferson the greatest constructive
 statesmen the world has produced since the dawn of
 history. He the greatest because in addition to
 constructive ability he ideast and lived true to his ideals. He dreamed beautiful dreams and made them come true.
 It is a travesy history to place Jefferson in any second group of Americans. His place is with Washington and Lincoln in the first group Presidents

CLASSIFYING THE PRESIDENTS

w. w. Jermane Washington correspondent of the Seattle Times. in recent article grouped Jefferson Jackson Cleveland and Roosevelt in secondary po- sition American Presidents, placing Washing ton and Lincoln alone in a first group
 That Is a very superficial survey of American history that would put Jefferson in secondary place in any grouping of American Statesmen. One needs only to recount that he the author of the Dec laration of Independence and the author ces- sion of the Northwest Territory-Oho, Indiana Hi nois. Michigan and Wisconsin-given by Virginia Jefferson's State, the Naton, because lief ferson said it you'd be dsasterous to the purposes of the Republic for State to be so large popu- lous and wealthy that it would exercise dominating influence. He caused it to be stipulated that the of five States and that af of them should be free of human slavery Who can in the light of history deny Jeferson's prediction that that made tain that the United States would be a government by united states and government by a state? And 1t was guarantee that eventually we should have free soil Republic and not country devoted to slavery. and Jefferson foresaw that too and had 1t in mind and said so.
 It was Jefferson. Governor of Virginia, who pointed the way for the separation of church and State. who brought about the abolishment of the entail of property and provided public controlled higher education by founding the University of vir- ginia.
 1t was Jefferson who sponsor for the Vir- ginia Bill of Rights and 1t he who secured its place in the Constitution of the United States where it is set forth in the first ten amendments to that immortal document

Lavish Generosity
Washington Post)

Secretary of the Treasury Houston's recommen- dation to the Ways and Means Committee of the House that interest payments American loans to Allied governments be deferred until the Spring of 1922 will create little surprise and little opposition, since it has generally been understood that this concession should be made to the Allied governments to assist them in the adjustment of their fiscal affairs Interest payments to be- gin in 1919 but stated that the debtor nations will be unable to pay insallments of either interest or principal before 1922
 Coupled with this suggestion, however, is one from the Secretary of the Treasury which will create considerable surprise It represents in fact, the acme of generosity upon the part of the United States. MT. Houston proposes to fund these deferred interest payments period of 12 years at per cent, the rate the loans carry. But he pro- poses that they be not compounded and if they are not it will have the effect of reducing the interest rate the entire loan to 475 per cent. which he considers desirable.
 Secretary Houston states that the average interest rate Liberty and Victory bonds is 4.26 per cent. and the cost of the campaigns for floating them brings the rate up to 4.75 per cent In his opinion the United States should not charge the Allies any more for it's loans than it paid to borrow the money and by not compromising the deferred interest he finds method of reducing the per cent. rate which they have agreed to pay, down to AIS per cent, which the United States pays
 The total loans to the Allies aggregate $9,647,- ,000 and it is estimated that the interest them will amount to 10000 900, 900 before they are tirely quidaed If the interest rate is reduced fourth of 1 per cent suggested it will amount tC gift of about $500, ,000, 900 to the Allies munifi- cent present, to say the least
