but President Washington rendered
him the secretaryship of state and he
reluctantly accepted. Alexander Ham
ilton was secretary of the treasury.
These two men, antipodal in tempera-
ment and political belief clashed with
irreconcilable hostility, first on the Fl
nancial proposals of Hamilton, which
were adopted by Congress against the
protests of Jefferson, then on the ques-
tons with regard to France and Great
Britain, Jefferson's synpathies being
predominantly with the former, Ham
ilton's with the latter. They formed
about themselves two great parties
which took the names of Republican
and Federalist. The schools of thought
for which they stood have since con-
tended for mastery in American pol
itics. The name Republican was
dropped at the time of the War of 1872.
In 1853 it was revived for new party
Of very different political principles.
Jefferson was elected President, en-
tering upon his duties March 4, 1901.
and reelected in 1904 His adninistra-
ton was distinguished by the simplic
ity that marked his conduct in private
life.
When, on March 4, 1909, he retired
from the Presidency, he had been al
most continuously in the public serv-
ice for forty years. He refused to be
reelected, for the third time, though
requested by the legislatures of five
states to be candidate. Thus, follow
ing Washington's example, he helped
to establish a precedent deemed by
him of great Importance for preserv-
ing democratic spirit in the Presi-
dency
When he died, he chose for his tomb
the epitaph: Here was buried Thomas
Jefferson, author of the Declaration Of
independence, of the Statute of Vir-
ginia for Religious Freedom, and
Father Of the University of Virginia. !

On January !, l772, he married
Martha Wayles Shelton, childless
widow OF twenty three, very hand

music. Their married life was exceed
ingly happy, and Jefferson never re-
married after her early death. Of
s,r~children, two daughters alone sur
vived infancy. Jefferson was emotional
! and very affectionate at home, and his
generous and devoted relations with
his children and grandchildren are

Authorities Differ on
Soldiers Mercy Appeal

Several theories have been advanced

give quarter" meaning TO spare the
life of an enemy in ones power. A
French writer named De Brieux as
serted In 1912 that the phrase to give
quarter" arose from an agreement be-
tween the Dutch and Spanish whereby
the ransom of II soldier was 10 be a
quarter Of lis wages. Thus, accord
Ing TO this theory. where captured
soldier begged for quarter he offered
his captor a quarter OF his pay to
spare his life. II the captor turned
down the offer he refused to grant
quarter. This theory. as the Oxford
dictionary points out, Is at variance
with both the spirit and sense of the
phrases to give and receive quarter.
Since quarter is applied to place,
and the tents or barracks where
soldiers are lodged are called their
quarters. Ii is more probable that
"give quarter" originally referred to
the sending of captured troops to an
assigned quarter or place In the camp
or fort To be held until liberated, ran.

Therefore, II this theory Is correct.

meant 10 dispatch him without mercy.
