WO American traditions have been in conspicuous view during the campaign. One is that judges shall not forget their dignity by working for their own election, but shall “sit up) Straight,” as Mr. Willett put it. The other is that candidates shall Be acquainted with the uses of silk hats and frock coats. Once for ell, when Fassett made the race for Governor, it was settled that as Between frock conts and shirt aleeves, the East Side, like the West Bide, was for frock coats. These two traditions we have called American, but the common _ principle underlying them is older than history. It traces back to the time when there were no well-defined political institutions or | Yenerated laws, when government was largely personal, and when, therefore, as Bagehot says, “the habitual ascendency of grave man- “ner was a primary force in winning and calming mankind.” One conceives of the patriarchs as men of much dignity of bearing. So! fare the savage chiefs of our own time. The Indian braves who visit . Washington have a demeanor of greater austerity and gravity than any of the official white men they find there. The Blackfoot chiefs who visited Mayor Gaynor elicited this compliment: “You know how to keep from talking.” A modern traveller has said of the Persians that “from the spirit and decision of a public envoy upon ceremonies ‘and forms the Persians very generally form their opinion of the / @haracter of the country he represents.” In our own country and. time manner {s no longer so necessary fe the social order, fixed political institutions taking ite place. But - with judgese—who inherit the patriarchal function—it remains an eeeential, and the successful politician must cultivate it. The thing * that subjugated the allegiance of the primitive savage may determine © the vote of the sophisticated citizen. It is perilous for a candidate * w. 2°o be humorous, fatal for him to be funny. < ee * MORE STRSET ROOM WANTED. 7 OW to get more et.eet room is a problem to which the cit +H has addressed itself. Room it must have as year by year / 44 skyscrapers climb higher and discharge a larger volume of “traffic upon the pavements. Immediate relief has been found by Shearing etoops, porches and balconies in Fifth avenue and important Cross streets, and throwing the space thus gained along both curbs + fatto the central roadway. Private enterprise also has done some- | "thing. Many of the big buildings downtown have passageways trav ‘\exsing their courts from street to street, and in inclement weather | pereons can get about without getting wet. More radical schemes of relief will come later. } Tt has already - been recommended by the chief engineer in the Manhattan Bureau of | _ Highways that another street be constructed under Forty-second | Street and double-decked between Fifth and Lexington avenues. It has been urged that certain narrow strects, like Nassau, be arcaded, , and vehicles altogether excluded from them. A plan sponsored by ‘Comptroller Metz before the Board of Estimate in the McClellan ad- ~wainistration contemplated @ novel use of arcading to widen Thirty- * @goond street between Broadway and Seventh avenue so as to give ‘better access to the Pennsylvania Terminal. Instead of having the eS ‘sity assume the almost prohibitory cost of condemning a strip on either, side of the street, it was proposed to throw the present side- | “walks into the roadway, and create new ones by making arcades under ebutting buildings, the upper stories remaining in private use. “* In the sunken roads crossing Central Park there is half precedent for streets wholly subterranean which have been suggested for the elusive accommodation of trucking. Chicago has met this problem with a freight subway. The so-called “rows” in the English town of er offer still another device for securing more footway. In q effect, these are second-story arcades—promenades sixteen feet wide | || Gad open in front which run along the second stories of buildings | '} gpd have private dwellings above them, inferior shops below them and nt shops behind them. =. It would have been better for this town when its checkerboard plan was made, early in the nineteenth century, if blocks had laid off with their greatest dimension north and south, instead east and west, for the bulk of travel is north and south and a Ue@ifferent plan might have doubled the longitudinal thoroughfares. “WPartially to correct this mistake, it has been proposed that another ue be made midway between Fifth and Sixth avenues—a project h the adoption to-morrow of Amendment Number Four might ler more feasible.

TALL, sandy-hatred man, rather carelessly dressed, Jogged through the red mud of Washington's unpaved streets on March 4, 1801, to the Capitol. Reaching the Capitol he dismounted and (having not even a single servant with him) tled his horse to a fence. Then he slouched into the bulking. The man was Thomas Jefferson. He | was on his way to be inaugurated President of the United States. | Washington and Adams had driven in state to the Capitol for thelr |{maugurations. Jefferson (despising all formality or seeking to appease the large mass of people who had been angered by Presidential show of pomp) chose this highly democratic way of going to his inauguration. It | was one of the frat acts of what was to be thereafter known as “Jeffer- |eonian Simplicity.” | Washington had been succeeded by John Adams. During his single term of office Adams had managed to make thousands of powerful enemies. Alexander Hamilton, chief of these, totrigued so successfully against him that in the next election Adams had but 6 electoral votes while Thomas Jeffer- eon and Aaron Burr each had 73, The House of Representatives gave the Presi- dency to Jefferson. Burr, vowing he had heen robbed of his rights, became Vice-President. (it was the turning potnt of Burr's meterote career. Henceforth his etar wae to sink rapidly into final obscurity and disgrace. Hamilton was soon to die at his hand, and Burr's later scheme of empire was to send ite prime mover into exile.) Jefferson's predecessors had always gone with a etate Procession to read their Messages at the opening of eaeh ‘Congress, Jefferson atarted the custom of sending such Messages in writing. | He also discarded the formal and studied levees and other stiff receptions that had been features of earlier Presidencies. In dress he was notoriously untidy. | When the new British Ambassador wem to the White House in all the glory of Gold lace to be presented to the President er was infuriated at meeting Jeffereon the Ambassador wrote to a friend): wie a slippers down at the heels, and pantaiocons, cont and underelothes m- Aicative of other sloveniiness end indifference to appearance, and in « state of me ce actually studied.” Pia ths ‘opinion of political foes Jefferson's “simplicity” wae en effort to win favor with the plainer people who oBjected to state ceremonies.

He had fourteen servants at the White House and dispensed generous hospitality to all comers His dining-room was always crowded and his jolly informal banquets often lasted eight hours. ‘The White House at thet time was an unfinished, f1l-buitt, Graughty barn of @ piace. The city of Washington was Mttle better cham a muddy frontier settlement. The wilderness ran almost unbrokenly betwee ft and Baltimore. Gouverneur Morris wrote sarcastically of the national capital: “We want nothing here but ‘houses, cellars, kitchens, well informed men, ‘amtable women, and other Iittle trifies of this Kind to make our alty perfect!” Jefferson inaugurated simplicity in more important matters than that of personal habit. He sought to cut down the national debt (partly by reducing the army and navy), encouraged men to explore the country’s mighty West instead of iving in aimtess comfort in the East; lessened the number of civil eerviee officials, and made many other drastic changes that roused violent counter- storms of censure and praise. There can be Iittle doutn that his public acts, @ the main, were prompted by wisdom, justice and shrewd Aiplomacy. One of his mightiest strokes of statesmanship was the acquiring, from France, of the vast wester and southern tract known as the “Loutatana Purchase.” ‘his comprised all the continent west of the Mississipp! and between Canada and what was then Mexico. This purchase more than doubled our territory. Yet Jeffervon was bitterly binmed for paying France $15,000,000 for tt and for goime beyond the powers granted him by the Constitution in buying it. And now arose fresh trouble with England. Trouble that was bound to come sooner or later to a head. A rash or impulsive President would have in- volved our unprepared country at once in @ disestrous war. But Jefferson's Gen‘us put off the catastrophe for years. Indeed, had his orders been obeyed the war might perhaps have Geen entirely averted. In speaking later of those stirring times he did not exaggerate when he ald: “I had only to open my hand to Jet havoc loose! “Havoc,” however, broke loose almost as soon as Jefferson left the White House, And our country found ftself involved in one of the greatest ware of ite history, An Unsung Song.
