The Penn's Grove record., 1923-04-13

His principles are set forth in his
first inaugural address which have
been condensed as follows:
[From Jefferson's First Inaugural
Message, March, 1901
Equal and exact justice to all men,
of whatever state or persuasion, reli-
glons or political. Peace, commerce
and honest friendship with all nations.
entangling alliances with none. The
support of the State governments in
all their rights, as the most competent
administrations for our domestic con-
Germs and the surest bulwark against
antl-republican tendencies. The pres
erVatlon of the General Government in
its whole constitutional vigor, as the
s-heet-anchOr of peace at home and
safety abroad. A jealous care of the
right of election by the people. A
mild and safe corrective of abuses
which are Topped by the sword of rev
oIutlon where peaceable remedies are
unprovided. Absolute a~cquiesence in
the decision of the majority, the
vital principal of republics, from which
there is no appeal but to force, the
vital principle and immediate parent
Of despotism. A well-disciplined mill
tia, u best reliance in peace, and for
the first moments of war, till regulars
may relieve them. The supremacy of
the civil over the military authority.
Economy in the public expense, that
labor may be lightly burdened. The
honest payment of our debts and sa-
cred preservation of the public faith.
Encouragement of agriculture, and
commerce as its handmade. The diffu-
sion of information and arraignment
Of all abuses at the bar of the public
reason. Freedom of religion, freedom
Of the press, and freedom of person
under the protection of the habeas
corpus, and trial by juries impartially
selected. These principles form the
bright constellation which has gone be-
fore US, and guided our steps through
an age of revolution and reformation.
The wisdom of our sages and blood Of
u heroes have been devoted to their
attainment. They should be the creed
of our political faith, the text of civil
instruction, the touch stone by which
to try the services of those we trust:
and should we wander from them in
moments Of error or of alarm, let US
hasten to retrace our steps and to re-
gain the road which alone leads to
peace, liberty and safety.

Thomas Jefferson.
Born April 13, 1743
Died July 4, 1924
Father of American Democracy

One hundred eighty years ago
today Thomas Jefferson was born. He
wrote the Declaration of Indepen-
dence. His writings, mostly political,
have been published in sixteen vol
umes. They have been condensed in
"The J~etfersonian C~yelopedia," a book
of a thousand pages. 1t is the Bible
of American Democracy.
jefferson has never been acclaimed
as a great political idol or hero, be-
cause he did not believe in personal
heroship. Rather he believed in ex-
toling Principles, not persons. Yet
that is the best way to acquaint peo-
pie who will follow a personal idol or
hero, who do not comprehend Prin-
ciples.
He was the third President from
1901 to 1909. Then he retired to his
palatial home at Monticello, Virginia,
where he entertained so lavishly that
he became a poor man. He devoted
much time to writing.
Daniel Webster said: "~Jeferson's
writing had more effect in guiding the
American nation than all Others"
The Thomas Jefferson Memorial
A|9SocIdlloH mas started TO raise a
fund to buy Monticello, the historic
home of the founder of American
Democracy.
Jefferson stood pre-eminently for
the individual, and for local and State
power as distinguished from the
Washington and Hamilton ideal of
building up the strong Federal Gov

lea after the Revolution and the adop-
ton of the present Constitution.

WHEN No STATE TAX BEGAN

Last week the Salem Sunbeam pub
lished this reader item of 40 years
ago:
Good News.-There will be no State
tax this year. So our taxes will
either be reduced ten percent or we
will have the amount towards paying
our city debt.
That was under the administration
of George c. Ludlow, Governor 1913,
and due largely to Leon Albeit, who
was State Senator from Hudson
County and was Governor in 1S84-7
and again in 1909.
New Jersey continued without any
direct tax on property to maintain
the State administration until 1918
when Gov. Edge had n enacted in
his efficiency and economy admins
