It is somewhat remarkable that the me- morial to our third President has been s long delayed. The author of the nation’s Declaration of Independence deserved ear- lier recogition from his people who have erected signal tributes to Washington and Lingoln in Washington. The memorial is on the Pantheon form, which Jeferson considered the “per- fect model” of a circular building. Erected on the Tidal Basin the structure rests on a broad granite basis. It is of marble, 165 feet in diameter and 103 feet from ‘the new- made !and to the top of the dome. Under the domed ceiling is the 19- foot marble figure of Jefferson: There is a-cir- cular ‘chamber eight feet in diameter and twenty-six columns rise to a height. of 43 féet. The portico is 102 feet wide. The mémorial cost $3,000,000. Some of Jefferson’s best known werds are inscribed on a frieze of the main entab- lature and on panels within the memoria! room. They include, “I have sworn upon the altar cf God hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.” The Sage of Monticello, it will be re- called, asked that three things be inscribed on his tomb in Virginia, (not including the fact that he had served as President of his country) : “Author of the Declaration of In- dépendence. of the Statute for Relégious Liberty in Virginia and Founder of the University of Virginia.” Herearly had engraved on a seal as his mvito: ‘Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God.” He was a revolutionist, with un- bounded faith in the people and in.popular \ education. He advocated the emancipation end deportation of the slaves from Vir- ginia, The recital of his public service, to Vir- ginia and his struggling nation, is not pos- sible here. Interesting is the fact that he was the first President to be inaugurated | in Washingten, that he died a bankrupt and that his death oecurred on July 4, 1826, just fifty years from the day that has made him fameus in history. It looks as though our farmers are able to produce anything, but farm labor. a “DIRTY POLITICS” Though people every now and then shout about “dirty. politics,” those who shcut the loudest know little about the un- | dercurrent of politics. The man-in-the-street hears only about | surface pclitics, though once in awhile he} ‘may get a peep ‘at what-is'géing on in ther tee att undeycurrent, the hackwagh, the underisiy, ) and'then he is brought ap in shocked:-sunig: “7 prise.’ A to an office. The people ate sure this man or that man, announced @¥pirants for the position, is going to get it, and the first | thing you know a man, whose name was not | mentioned in connection with the office, is given the appointment. Politicians are not as much to blame as | the gullible public for the rottenness of po- litics. Just so long as the general run of peo- | ple believe everything a politiciar tells them, just so long will the politician con- tinue to prate in high-sounding, meaning- | less nothings; just so long_as the people, with a rare thinking exception, swallow all | a politician tells them he has done for them, he'll come back the next time. with 2 Bteater | volume of bunk. 3 jc, alu or We know of acity, not morethan 5,000 | miles from ‘Key West; whose peo fiTe Were told bya politician he had’ “obtained many, public improvements-for them, when the record was wide open that every singl2 | ‘improvement had been due to the exigency of the moment, that is, the war, and while | some of the people boo-hooed the claim, yet | there were hundreds who sucked down the hooey, bait, line and sinker. The clear thinker was such gullibility, but it is that very gullibil- ity, existing in every town, hamlet and city in the United States. that has made our po- lities the laughingstock of the world. Just beat your chest and bellow bunk in flowery | phrases, and you may be sure that a large percentage of voters will believe you. So if politics is “dirty,” the people them- , selvés are to blame for the dirt. They brook it, and they get it; conversely, if they insist- ed on clean politics, ‘they would get that, too, but so long as they are content to drift | along with the current, and remain ina state of torpidity while’ esseiitial pelitical ques- ng will the} | be the butt of what they. delight ts stigma- | tize as “dirty politics.” The wise mother-in-law remembers | she was once a daughter-in-law. You have often heard it:said that the | laws which trouble some folks the most, aré | the in-laws. REMOVE THE MILLSTONE NOW The Florida National Bank of Jacks | sonville has been running some striking | newspaper advertisements on the necessity | for changing the Federal] income tax laws | to meet present-day needs of taxpayers. | One of its recent advertisements said: “Remember how a few years ago the | government: solemnly talked about ‘Free- ,- freedom i want...| dom from debt . freedom from fear, ete?’ : “The ‘Freedoms’ theory is’ sreatvone —but' why doesn’t Uncle , Sam,p Patige at with income taxes? Instead. of yp sth hhis | taxpayers from debt and fear, the present income tax system perpetuates a peculiar type of peonage because the taxpayer is never out of debt. “Last year’s income taxes hang around his neck like a millstone. Let’s adopt the pay-as-you-go plan now and make the ‘Freedoms’ an actuality rather than a pretty theory.” Two American Presidents of Scottish | | ancestry, and six Scottish-Irish.

When enlarging the rationing pro- | gram, Mr. Brown said: “The necessities of | war have cnce again compelled the govern- | ment to ask the people to bear the burden | of another rationing program. I should like | to ask the forbearance of the piblic.. . while the trade is adjusting itself to new | | demand and supply conditions.” That’s the American way.
