said: "Thomas Jefferson still sur

survival is explained by the last let
ter he wrote on the subject of the

"May it be to the world, what I
believe it to be Ito some parts sooner,
to others later, and finally to ally the

perstition had persuaded them to bind

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 rerainis-
cence. But in connection with the an
niversary of the nations birth, there
is 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 a 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"
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1930-07-03

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
cOmmemorated a fight that was end
ed and a 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-gevernment."
Thus the progressive, looking to, the
future
Jefferson believed, as strongly as
Hamilton, in the rule of an aristoc-
racy, but of a 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 Pristocracy, founded on
wealth and birth, without either vir-
tue or talent May 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 a 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 it's errors are honest, solitary and
short lived"
People Responded.
Jefferson was the first responsible
political leader anywhere to hazard
a transfer of government from its an
cient base, on the shoulders of the
privileged few, to the broader base
Of peoples will. It 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 q bold act of faith,
and the people justified it 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.
