toral votes of winning the presidency
against Adams. In the second battle
which was waged i'll 1900, he beat
Adams.
Contrary to the familiar story Of his
hitching his horse to the capitol fence
Jefferson walked to his Inauguration
and afterward walked back to his
boarding house, which was only a few
hundred yards away. This man afoot
dreamer and theOriSt, quietly ushered
in that day a more lasting revolution
than a man on horseback could have
wrought with a sword and Whit of
grapeshOt.
Believing that revolutions should
begin at home jefferson ~revolutioniZed
the White House by casting aside the
ceremonials which had been adopted
in a feeble imitation of kingly courts.
Opening the doors to all, without re-
gard to social classiications and with
out order of precedence, his rule was
first come, first served" Determined
that the president, as he said, should
cease to be a parsonage, he stopped
the custom of celebrating a presidents
birthday, never made a public tour,
did his own marketing and went and
came like any other citizen. Although
no successor has thrown a British min
lister into a fit of indignation by re-
ceiving him in slippered feet, Jeffer-
sOnian simplicity rather more than
Washingtonian courtliness remains the
standard of presidential conduct.
1t was the strange fortune of this
most thoroughgoing paciist to find
himself at the helm in the midst of
a world at war. When the globe was
bristling with bayonets until it looked
like a porcupine, he calmly announced
that peace was his passion, and start
ed out by cutting down his little army
one-half and by talking of hauling up
his seven warships. His only interest
in the Napoleonic struggle was TO keep
out of it.
Nevertheless while the military pow
ers were fighting over little islands
and provinces and drenching Europe

cred in far richer spoils than the vic
tors in twenty-five years of warfare
divided among themselves at the con
gress of Vienna. AS Jefferson's cleo
ton was a bloodless revolution. his
purchase of the immense empire OF
Louisiana, which doubled the territory
of the United States, was a bloodless
conquest. the greatest p~eaceable an
nexation the world ever saw. Having
made it, the flag was no more than
hoisted on the farther bank of the
Mississippi than he dispatched Lewis
and Clark and Captain Pike boldly to
spy out the UNEMPLOYED rivers and
mountains of she new soil, so honestly
won. and fro n which so many free
states We're - spring.

remained the leader of his party at

the DeAAocr ais never have ceased to
sU ear allegiance to his spirit.

pride and display of the old families
who formed the v~iceregal court at Will
liamsburg.
To support the large family of his
mother on their too small farm Jeffer-
son turned to the law. In 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 its 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 a law student in viii
liamsburg. It's clarion had been ring
ing in his ears w 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 OWL
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 per
had waited twelve years for its turn
to speak Jefferson sat in the congress
at Philadelphia. The squire of Monti-
cello was q silent member, as silent
as the squire of Mount Vernon. Op-
portunity and duty went straight to
those two speechless congressman as
the needle leaps to a loadstone.
After serving as governor of VT
GINA and member of congress Jeffer'
son was sent as minister to the court
of France. You replace Doctor Frank
lin" the Count Vergennes said to him
on his arrival in Paris. 81 succeed
him." the new envoy happily replied
mo n can replace Doctor Franklin
Six weeks and a day after he had
seer that old France of the Bourbons
crash beneath the walls of the Bastille
Jefferson left Paris to become u first
secretary of state. Taking his seat al
the right of Washington he was face
to face across the cabinet table VIII
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 a great crowd
collected behind each to urge on lis
favorite in hat cooking main over
which Washington had the unhappi-
ness to preside. Quickly all the peoDl"
in the land took one side or the other
and formed themselves into the tw"
political parties which with chans:C'
names and changing disputes have o.
vided the country to this day.
