Five Minute Chats on Our Presidents By JAMES MORGAN (Copyright, 1930. by James Morsaa.) , A MAN AFOOT 1797-1801-Vice president, "1801-Inaugurated third presi / dent, aged 57. 1803-Purchased Louisiana. 1807-Enforced Embargo act. 1809-fetired to Monticello. 1826-July 4, died, aged 83. T HE furious storm aroused by the combat between Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton, the greatest gladiators to face each other In the arena of American poilt!cs, makes our recent campaigns seem like sunshow era. Hamiltonians scorned to eat and drink, and sometlmes even to pray, with the Jeffersonians. To give a daughter in marriage with one of them was almost abhorred as mis. cegenation. Nothing else so -stirs the angry pas. sions as a conflict of classes or of sec tions. 'This was both doubly bitter. An almost solid South united with the Northern masses in a common dread of a strong government and in a common hostility to the old ruling caste in the middle states and New England. The new parties called them selves Federalists and Republicans. In the first battle, when those par ties fought for tbe.chiair of Washing. ton in 1790, the result was so close that Jefferson cane within two elec. Thomas Jefferson. toral votes of winning the presidency against Adams. In the second battle, which was waged in 1800, 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 on; 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 whiff 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 doers to all, without re gard to social classifications 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 personage, he stopped thd custom of celebrating a president's birthday, never made a public tour. did his own marketing and went and came like any other citizen, Although no successor haw thrown a British min ister hito a fit of indignation biy re ceiving him .in slippered feet, Jeffer sonian simplicity rather more than Washingtonian courtliness remains the standard of presidlential conduct. It was the strange fortune of this most thoroughgoing pacifist to find himself at the helnm i'n the midst of a worldl at war. When the globe wvas bristling with bayonets until it looked like a porcupine, lhe calmly announced that peace was his passion, and start edl out by cutting down his little army one-half andl by talking of hauling up hiis seven warships. His only interest in the Napoleonic struggle was to keep out of it, Nevertheless wille the military pow ers were fighting over little ilanmds andl provinces and drenching Eturope with their blood, this most unilitary presidlent, without tiring a shot, gath ered in far richer spoils than the vic tors in twenty-flye years of warfare divided among themselves at the con gress of Vienna. As Jefferson's elee tion was a bloodless revolution, his purchase of the immense empire of Louisiana, which doubled the territory of the United States, was a bioc..iless conqluest, the greatest peaceable an nexation the world ever saw., Having made it, the flag was no more thana hoisted on the farther bank of the Mississippi than lie dispatched Lewis and1 Clar-k and Captain Pike b~oldly to spy out the unexplored rivers andl mountainis of the new soil, so honestly won, anid fromi which so many t're states were to spring. Jet'ersoni is the' only president wiho remuahined he leader ot' his party af ter-lId"e the White House. Indeed, ibho Deomerats niever have ceased to iwear n linncen to hia spit, RESERVIl BANKS IACK FAMJIIS Byrnes. Publishes Correspondence With Houston. Secretary Referred to Treatury Department Not Banks. In Accord With hlarding. Ailten, Oct.. 1.-Congressman James F. Byrnes of Aiken todhy made 'public telegraphic correspondence with the Secretary of the Treasury Houston, which shows that the secretary in his statement Hot last Monday referred only to the attitude of the treasury department -and had no reference to the policy of the federal reserve bank system in discounting the paper of member banks. The secretary ad vises Mir. %Byrnes that he Is ig accord with Governor H'arding's definition of "orderly marketing'"" as meaning the marketing of the cotton crop grad tially. The telegram of Mr. Byrnes to Secretary Houston on September 26 reads as follows: "All trade reports indicate youir statement construed as intention of federal reserve bank not to discount notes secured by cotton. Satisfied this iot. your ":olicy, Statements of Gov ernor IIarding in his Cleveland speech defining orderly marketing was rea:: nS uian to entire trade. If you aye ii accord can you not issue statement as to what- you meant by 'orderly mar keting?' Any course other than that outlined by Governor Harding would result in speculation by mills and buyers at exi)ense of producers." teply of Houston Secretary louston2'. reply of the 29th state: "My statement is. 'I am in favor of every legitimate effort to promote the orderly marketing of all collmmodities, but the government can not be a par ty to an iinlerta king to hold con mod - tiles off the market to enable the owners artificially for speculative purposes to maintain war prices or higher than war prices." "In speaking of the government, of course, I was speaking particularly of the treasury. I was not speaking of the banks. They are not the govern ment. My statement was induced by a request of people that the treasury either deposit money in crop moving sections or that it revive the ar Ilinance corporation activities. lither of these things would necessitate the Tire I R --. / 30 x 3% Good Fabric, All-WV 30 x 3%/ Goo Fabric, Anti-Si Ai t'reasury's borrowing more money at high rates at which it is now borrow ing to meet current obligations. It has no money to deposit except for government puriposes. The war finance corporation would only assist. in financing exports. This power w'as given at a time when it was feared that 'xports twould rot go forward. Exports have increase.l steadily to enormous proportions and are now running at the rate of over $8,000,000, 000for the year. Could Not Borrow "Obviously the treasury would not be warranted in borrowing money 'to further stimulate exports or -4o de posit for lending purposes. The -treasury should not be In the banking business. It may interest you to know that six times as much is being re discounted In certain reserve banks for crop moving sections as has ever been doposited in such sections by the treasury. There is no conflict be tween my statement and Governor Ih'arding's. He was speaking for the reserve system. I have assured that I am in favor of the orderly market ing of all commodities. Governor HIarding asserts the same. The banks are iending more jioney today to ag riculture and industry than has ever before .been lent. I have repeatedly, expressed myself in favor of orderly marketing and of the promotion of cooperative marketing among farm ers. I do not see how I can add any thing to the statement. .\iy insistence on the desirability of orderly mark'et lug Is pointed by my statement'as to the unwisdom of enterprises hoding commodities off the market artificially for speculative purposes to maintain war prices or higher than war prices. I assut me that the great mass of the ::.ople of ihis coun try Iv otld recog nize not only the unwisdom but the iliimality of such an undertaking." No Danger of 'antie.
