JEFFERSON'S EPITAPH The anniversary of the birth of Thomas Jefferson on April 13, revived many historical anecdotes of the third president of the United States, and serves to remind his couritrymen of his brilliant service to the struggling young nation. Jefferson’s dominating trait was his love of liberty, and it was as a champion of human freedom that he desired to be known to posterity. This was illustrated by his epitaph, written by himself for in- seription upon his tomb: “Here is buried ‘Thomas Jefferson, and of the statutes ef Virginia fer religious freedom; and father of the University of Virginia.” No reference is made to his services as governor of Virginia, member of Con- gfess, minister to France, secretary of state, vice-president and twice president of the United States. In his own estimation his services: in the cause of liberty stood above all these. Freedom of government, freedom of education were the paramount objectives of his life, as epitomized in his epitaph. Born an aristocrat, Thomas Jefferson be- came the ardent defender of the masses and the greatest exponent of. human liberty the world has ever known. CONTINUED WORLD FAIR . Chicago's “Century of Progress” fair certainly has. that indescribable _ seme- has done the unusual thing of holding over fora second seasgn, and larger crowds on the opening days than a year ago ap- parently justify the continued show. So far, the turnstiles have recorded far more visitors than in the same length of time last year. It is clear that last year’s visitors were not wholly bored, shocked or disgusted. Their reports of the fair did not discourage friends and relatives from trying it this year. The fair management has cleaned up some of the worst features about whieh | there was justified indignation last sum- mer. New educational exhibits have been | aaded, There is a fine crop of foreign villages which, although they are aimed frankly at the visitor's purse, will present typical Old World scenes and architecture anda few replicas of famous historical buildings. Perhaps these villages will serve ta rest the éyes and nerves of visitors whe remain unreconciled to the atchitec- tural modernism of the exhibition build- ings. On the whole, Chicago hasshown en- terprise and coufage, and the public ap- pears to be responding in a big. way. The transportation lines and hotels which al- Teadly feel increased business because of the fair are not sorry about the second-year showing. ‘author of the Declaration of Independence ; ‘thing, which appeals te humat beings. ..1¢ Cee Looe 5 ee Ae JA0 208 eel ett 72s Unee i / de 2 ECC CCC eer ~ KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY ppenings Here Just 10 Years Nae tales As Taken From hg Redeye Tate Fe Anniversaries Seesooeeces 2nnedsontes 1694— Francois Quwesn a yy 'French political economist, leadér jet a §o-called _physiocratic ard of thought, born, Died Dee, tf In response to a telegram re-; 1774 4 eeived this afternoon, Harry| Gwymm will leave for Miami to} 1738-—-King George Ti, the meet Carl E.
