EDGERTON. (Copyright by American Proas Associa tion. 1911. P tiio three presidents who died on tlio 4th of July Munroo was tho only out- who bud not signed tho Deeln ration. The other two, Jefferson and Jolin Adams, were on the committee that drafted tho document. Mouroc wns then a boy of only eighteen nnd that very jear ran a way troui college to become a Revolutionary soldier. In view of bis conspicuous services for liberty, not only In. the United Btntes. but In nil North und South Atnexicn. the mrniory of .Innics Mon roe has been much neglecte.l by his countrymen He plnyed the chief part in negotiating the Louisiana purchase nud In obtaining Florida: he was In Btrumentnl In bringing nboiit the war of 1811" and was the uiot utHplcuoun lnirli fai'toi. not excepting Madison. In prosecuting It to u .successful con clusion, llo brought about the ru- JAMBS MOOTtOE, IHUHIDENT AND rATMOT. leuso of Mqo. Lnfnyetto and Thomna I'nlno from French prisons. Ilo pro tected the freedom of tho South Ameri can republics from threatened attack by a European alliance und shlolded tho Independence of these countries permanently by the famous Monroo doctrine. Ilo so allayed party spirit that his administration was known as tho "era of good feeling." Ilo was an ardent patriot who stood for the rulo or tho people and the rights of man. Ills diameter was so pure that Jcffer uon stud it "could be turned wiong side out without showing a blemish to the world ' Perhaps one reason Monroo ban nev er rotclved duo credit In that ho had no especial brilliancy either as writer or uptmKor Mere llueuey of words, lion over, does not constitute great ness. Monroe, was great In the purity of his character, In his unerring in stlui'tH for siding with public good us ngulusl private interest and In his In tuitu o pen option at things that would crow to futniu Importance. In their lutlueiuo on posterity whuc events were more momentous than tho I.oul slumi purehuso uiyl thu promulgutlou of the Monroe doctrine) Thu claim iniulu by soino shallow nud 111 iiiformed students that John Qulncy Adams wroto tho Monroe doc trine Is the most arrant nonsense. '1'hts Is ou u par with the Idea that Alexander Hamilton wrote Washing ton's tnrewell uiIdrtMs. Neither claim Is trim. Both documents were Inspir ed mid probably were actually wilt ten by the men whose names they bear. Preliliuii Monroe timl long held tho Views e.pieed In tho .Viouroo doc trine. 'I hey were essentially in loop ing with his pulley luiddiis other ncts O'hose weie too bioad and fnrniicli lug foi John Qulncy Adams Ah a matter of fait. Adams Is a much over rated man, while Momuo has boon un derrated How long uiuiiltttirt requires to ap preciate Its true benefactors! It took centuries for anj great portion of tho world to ueeept tho i'rliiee of Ponce. It was inatiy yean before Gieece had oven it taint realization of the great ness ot Socrates nnd Pinto. Gulllel waited tor a lutor ago to know his worth. The day is coming nnd Is not far distant when the group or early patri ots w ho favored n people's government, including such men as llenjiunlu Franklin. Thomns 1'nlu.e, Thomas Jef- Ienou. James Madison, James Monroe, Patrick Henry, Buinuel Adams and George Masou. will become tho patron taints of a new school of liberty. Their Concepts of a truo republic nro as vital today as they wero a century ago. They nro tho ones who remained loyal to the spirit of the Declaration of In dependence. The future, which is to be rededlcated to tho liberty for which tboy stood, will do Justleo to theso men. Just ns society finally has dono justice to Its other benefuctors, even though it was centuries after their death. Monroe wus one of the whitest nnd truest souls in the group. He never Mverved tn his fealty to the causo ot the people. Whether In France or America, be stood unfalteringly for bis principles. He opposed what he con sidered Washington's reactionary nud monnrchicnl tendencies nud even went against his best friend. Madison, when he thought Madison was being led too much In the direction of centralUsi'd government Monroe Joined 1'ntricU Henry nud George Mnson in Hunting the. adoption ot the constitution be cause he thought it opposed to tho rights of the people. Though Virginia accepted the constitution, it tumeo down Madison, the champion of that instrument, and elected Monroe to the seunto. James .Monroe jYvob bortl In West moreland county, Vn., April 28. 1753 He studied for n time In the Col lego of William and Mary, but In 177(1 became a lieutenant In a Virginia regl meut In tho ((evolutionary war. Ue wus In the battles of Harlem Heights and White.

Hecnuse of the fact thnt ho had ncted as stalT olllcer he was shut o!T from further promotion, and after fulling to raise a regiment In Virginia he left the iirmy Thomas .letlerson wns then governor of Virginia, and under lilin Monroe tool; up the study of law Ditrttiu the Invasion or Vir ginia. lioweor. he hud an actlu part lu raising the mllltm and gained titc title of lleutoiuut colonel lu ITS-' he wns elected to the Virginia legislature nud u'n also appointed u member of the executive. council In 17MI Mom pu entered rnncrets, where he advocated an I'Steumon of Hie powers of the body, which ptoved a first step toward the tomuutlon of the cotiHtluuion. In I7ttl ho retired lrom congres'j nud again was elected a member of the Vliginla legislature, in which enpticlty lu 17X8 he opposed tliecoiiMtlmtton that was tlually adopt ed on the ground (hut It was undemo cratic nud guve too much power to the courts, which wero removed too tu- from the people. In 17IM) he was elected to thu United Htntes senate and sened till 17IM, whuii ho was , made minister to Franco. i Monroe reached Fiance whllo the ' French revolution wns still In prog- t ress mid wus enthusiastic In his ex- j presslons ot approval of the friends of ' liberty. This gave ofTenso to Wash- I Ingxm. nud Monroe was recalled nfter two yenrs. When he returned to this country he wrote a defense of his con duct, which received tho enthusiastic approval of the people of Vliginln, who In 171HI nloctod him governor ot the state. In 1803 President Jefferson sent Monroe to France to uegotluto the Louisiana purchase, nud arte that wus carried to a succoful conclusion the presldei) commissioned him mlu Istcr to England.

Tho rhlef events of bis administration wero he passage of the Missouri compro miho, tho promulgation ot the Mouroe doct'Ine nud the visit ot Lafayette to the United states. In the happier days that are to come, I when the bitterness ot party prejudice gives way to the common bouse und in telllgence of Independent voting, the death of partylsm under President Monroe will be regarded as a foreiun uer of that better age. (f human be ings over learn enough to enthrone per niutient petce In tho world then Mon roo's "ern of good feeling" will appear to have been a prophecy of what man can be when he recovers from his ob eisslons and Insanities.
