The anniversarian, in looking back
over the historical record of the nation,
finds many things Of interest, many
by-paths, and many once main-traveled
roads now grown dim, leading off into
pleasurable speculation and reminis-
cence. But in connection with the an
niversary of the nations birth, there
is a notable coincidence. On July 4,
1926, two ex-Presidents of the United
States died; they were of the fathers
whose patriotic labors brought forth
on this continent new nation, con-
ceived in liberty, and dedicated to the
proposition that all men are created
equal" They had lived to see the light
of the jubilee day and then passed from
the stage. John Adams died that day
in Quincy, Mass; Thomas Jefferson at
Monticello in Virginia.
Aside from the coincidence Of their
death on July 4, their lives had many
parallels. Both were leaders in the
Continental congress; both were sign
ers of the Declaration; both were min
listers abroad; both served as Vice
President, and both as President OF the
United States. Each served in the con-
stitutional convention of his native
state. Jefferson fathered the Demo-
cratic Republican party; Adams, with
Alexander Hamilton, the Federalist
party. Adams, while abroad, wrote
and published for the instruction of
Europe his Defense of the American
Constitutions" Jefferson his "Notes
on Virginia"

No Death for
Great Pioneer
of Democracy

Thomas Jefferson still survives"
History has handed down to us those
words as the last that were spoken by
John Adams. Let them be our text
on the one hundred and fourth ami
versary of the death Of the two men.
At the approach of the semicen-
tenary Of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence in 1926 the American people
turned their eyes and thoughts to two
aged fellow-citizens: Jefferson, the au-
thor of the Declaration, and Adams,
whom Jefferson himself had variously
described as ''the pillar of its support
on the floor Of congress" sits ablest
advocate and defender" "our colos-
sus," 'our bulwark in debate" The
first had turned eighty-three, and the
latter was more than half way along
in his ninety-frst year. Although 1t
was well known that both were too
feeble to be included in the plans
which were forming for the public eel
ebration Of that specially glorious
Fourth, they were present and upper
most in every mind, and the country
looked with a certain awe upon those
two living witnesses to the nations
birth, those spared monuments of an
historic past.
Politics had divided and bitterly
estranged the pair, but in their retire
ment from the political arena they
had become reconciled and had re-
turned to their early esteem for each
other, when they labored together for
a common end. II always loved JEFF
ferson," said Adams, and of Adams,
Jefferson said only two years before
he died: Fortune had disjoined our
affections, but we re-embraced with
cordiality. recalled our ancient feel
fngs and dispositions and everything
was forgotten but our first sympa-
thies."
Adams Last Words.
Five days before that fiftieth birth
day of the nation, Adams was visited
by fellow-townsman in Quincy and
invited to join in the celebration Of
the day. 1t was plain to be seen that
the nonagenarian could not accept the
invitation, but instead he gave his
caller this toast for the occasion:
Independence Forever"
The Fourth came. While millions
of his countrymen were commemorate
ing the day, with pomp and parade,
with shows, games, sports, guns, bells,
bonfires and Examinations" as Adams
himself had prescribed on the frs
Fourth. SO years before, and while
the people of Quincy still fingered at
the banquet table, where they had
drunk his toast, their illustrious neigh
Dor sank to rest from his long and
troubled life as the sun went down
behind the Blue hills. 1t was under
those circumstances that he said, as
the watchers by his bedside under
stood his last audible words, "Thomas
Jefferson still survives"
Jefferson's Last Hours.
Jefferson really had lost that final
rare with his friend of half century.
For he had died near 100 o'clock,
some six hours earlier. AS his life

the author of the Declaration offered
for his last Fourth, with Adams toast,
and we find the key to the secret OF
Jefferson's survival. To one, the day
concentrated fight that was end
ed and local fight at that
for American independence. Thus, the
conservative holding to the past. To
the other, the fight had only begun,
and it would go on until ''the mass
Of mankind" had won independence.
had burst their chains" and the whole
world had achieved "self-government"
Thus the progressive, looking to the
future.
Jefferson believed, as strongly as
Hamilton, in the rule of an aristoc-
racy, but Of real aristocracy. And
right here is where democracy has
failed him most often, in its prone
ness to accept the rule of mediocrity.
In letters to Adams, he set forth his
views on this subject:
Mature has wisely provided an
aristocracy of virtue and talent for
the direction of the interests Of So
ciety, and SCATTERED IT WITH
EQUAL HAND THROUGH ALL IT'S
CONDITIONS. There is also
an artificial aristocracy, founded on
wealth and birth, without either vir-
tue or talent. Nav we not
even say that the form of government
is the best which provides the most
effectually for the pure selection Of
these natural ariosto into the offices?
-. In general, they (the people)
will elect the really good and wise.
1t suffices for US, If the moral
and physical condition Of our own cit
liens qualities them to select the able
and the good for the direction of their
government"
Had Faith In People.
Does not the mere restatement OF
that high hope of the father of Amer,
lean democracy sound to us like biting
irony, bitter satire? The capacity
Of the people to choose the best Is
the keystone in the arch of the demo-
cratic system. How often do we fail
to live up to Jefferson's belief in us
Yet the basis of his political philos-
ophy was his trust in the people,. and
the whole of his philosophy may be
summarized in few words chosen
from his writing:
''The will of the majority. the nat
ural law of every society, Is the only
sure guardian of the rights of man.
Perhaps even this may sometimes err,
but its errors are honest, solitary and
short lived"
People Responded.
Jefferson was the first responsible
political leader anywhere to hazard
transfer Of government from its an
Gent base, on the shoulders of the
privileged few, to the broader base
OF a peoples will. 1t Is difficult for
us to imagine now how hazardous it
was for that political pioneer to stake
all his ambitions upon an appeal to
the yet unframed, inexperienced, in
articulate, inert mass; to trust them
to respond to ideas and ideals, and
without the stimulus of bands and
torches. 1t was bold act of faith.
and the people justified 1t by follow
ing his leadership for % years as they
never have followed another.
Perhaps the people would meet that
test as well now, if another Jefferson
should pay them the compliment Of
so great trust in their common
sense.-James Morgan, in the Boston
Sunday Globe.

Moonlight Horseback Ride
Is Enioyed at Skyland

SKYLAND, Va, August 16.-Princi-
pal among the events which transpired
at Skyland during the past week was
a combination dance and moonlight
horseback ride to Indian Powwow
Grounds. which took place in the mid
die of the week. These unique enter
tainments are arranged to take place on
moonlight nights when the weather is
fine. AS there has been no rain for two
months, with the exception of one
shower, conditions were perfect for such
an evening Guests came to the dance
in informal dress, and refreshments
were served at 10 O'Clock. At 1918 the
bugle was sounded, and all those who
wished to participate were invited by
Mr. Pollock to don their riding cloth
ing and join in the moonlight ride.
which began at 1890 o'clock. One of
the colored grooms, with a hunting
horn, gave appropriate music, "A-Hunt-
ing, a-Hunting We Go" etc.-appro-
pirate. except that there was no hunt
ing But a most picturesque and en-
joyable ride was enjoyed over the
mountain trails beneath the lofty pines
and hemlocks. through which the bril-
liant full moon filtered, and on into the
bright pasture lands across a couple of
bridges, deep in the Iimberlost Swamp,
and finally descending into the little
amphitheater on the edge of the noun
tain known as the Powwow Grounds.
AS the party rode into the open
moonlit amphitheater, where many rus
tic logs furnished seats. grouped around
blazing bonfire, which was lighted as
the party approached, the 38 partici-
pants in the ride were thrilled by the
romantic surroundings and the beauties
of the scenes. There was one sad note
/ to the party. In the not too far away
distance could be plainly seen the lurid
lines of forest fires, some is miles
away. After the party dismounted and
! grooms led the horses to the edge of
! the forest opening, there followed a
| jolly festival of singing and music
around the campfire. Old-time South
ern plantation songs, interspersed with
modern ones, and participated in by all
