Uoaday aitaraooa.
Thomas Jefferson was a leader in
the agitation which preceded the Amer
ican revolution for Independence; he,
more than any other of the choice
spirits among the colonists, is the one
who may be rightly called the archi
tect of the American plan of popular
government, the one whose active and
fruitful genius gave form to a govern
ment where democracy had free play,
and In which was to be exemplified
the sovereignty of the people without
social despotism, authority with lib
erty, and liberty without license.
As a lawmaker, Jefferson made m
first appearance as a member from
his own county In the colonial legis
lature of Virginia. His labors there
evinced his democratic predilections.
He introduced a measure providing for
the emancipation of slaves. He pro
posed the abolotion of the laws of en
tail and primogeniture, a law guaran
teeing freedom of conscience, estab
lishing a system of public Instruction,
and providing for free elementary edu
cation. He was a member of the Conti
nental congress, the first legislature of
the state of Virginia, was twice gov
ernor of Virginia, a member of the
first national house of representatives,
minister to France, secrets rybf state
under Washington's cabinet, vice-president
during the administration of the
second president, John Adams, and
president for two terms.
It was to his initiative that our gov
ernment consummated the Louisiana
purchase, which not only secured con
trol of the navigation of the MlssAs-
iIddI river and its tributaries, t -.

tne area of the thirteen original states,
Hd devised the plan ol government for
the northwest territories. ; which be
came the basis of our scheme of ter
ritorial government and statehood evo
lution. "
It was at his-' suggestion that our
decimal system of coinage was adopt
ed. He laid the foundatlonsof our
foreign diplomatic service. Although
absent from this country wh-n our
constitution wan adopted. Its provl-
sions strongly reflect his opinion and
influence.
A Tersatile leader.

he was a man of varied accomplish
ments He was a law reformer, as
well as a lawyer, an author, a scien
tific farmer, an authority on econom
ics, a financier, an architect of no
mean ability, having designed and
built the famous mansion at Montlcel-
io; an Inventor of agricultuMd imple
ments, and the real founder of the
University of Virginia.
But the work which must forever se
cure his fame Is the Declaration of In
dependence. The spirit of that docu
ment' permeates the federal -constitu
tion and Illuminates and unifies the
varied state constitutions, as well as
the whole body of our statute law.
The essence of the Declaration of In
dependence Is constalned In the first
few lines of the second paragraph:
"We hold these truths to be self-evi
dent, that all men are created equal.
I that among these are life, liberty and
tne pursuit or nappiness. l nai xo se
cure these rights, governments are in
stltu ted. among men.

significance of these brief sentences.

without a reference to his servile con
dition under ancient laws.
Although the gospel of the brother
hood of man and the dignity of tbe
human soul had long been engrafted
upon tbe Christian democracy of Eu
rope, now, for the first time in the
history of the race, these ideas the
recognition of the dd-glven right to
life, liberty and the pursuit of happi
ness, were written into a political doc
ument, which thereafter became fused
into the fundamental law of the land.
It was the aim of the foundefs of the
republic, and Jefferson, by pre-em
lnence, to put manhood upon a high
plane, by the guaranty of personal in

Memory,
drew to Itself the beat blood of Europe,
became a haven of security, an asylum
for the oppressed of every land. Every
European country has contributed its
share to the new composite race, thus
doing violence to the prejudice that '
virtue or genius is confined to any
olass, or people, or race, and affording
testimony to the adaptability of our
form of free government to the needs
of the masses of mankind. : - '!
.The cause of humanity in bound up '
with the future of the republic, In
linked Inevitably with the realisation '
of thf political Ideals of the founders.
"A nation," says Jefferson, "as a mo"
ciety forms a moral person, and every
member of it is personally responsible
for his society." f
In contemplation of the social sui
cide of Europe, there is a tremendous
obligation resting on our generation,
and upon the scholarship of our ooun- ,
try. to appreciate more and more tn.
splendid achievements of our Amer
lean republic in more than a century -of
experlei.ee. Lord Bryoe, in i his '
"American Commonwealth," says that
the United States "display a type of
Institutions toward Which, as by a law j
of fate, the rest of civilised mankind 1
are forced to move, soma with swifter,
others with slower, but all with un
resting feet."
But, before we may safely assume '
the right to teach others the excellence -and
superldrlty of our political prin- ;
clples, we must put our own household
tn order: we must, as the law books
say. come into court with clean hands,
We cannot fall to recognize that in 1
our own land the moral forces which .
prevailed in Jefferson's time have '
waned. The t Zionists, a sturdy race,
were almost without exception relig
ious exiles, moved by an exalted rellg- v
U js faith. Rationalistic philosophy
lhM undermined belief in Qod and
i lh.,,, t ,ik
moral responsibility to1 a higher pow
er. There are indisputable evidences
of a decline in public and private mor
ality. There Is a lack of reverence
and a sense of respect and restraint on
the part of the young, both men and
women,' who are inclined to chafe un ':
ar the mildest discipline.
Dangers That Beset ' V
Our lax divorce laws, the scandal- '
ous increase of divorce, is a cancerous
growth upon the body politic. It is

In the scriptural narrative.
It is difficult to estimate the share
which these Influences have upon the.-:
formation of character; but the re
sponsibilities of the home and the,
school and the church are increased In
a greater degree than ever before.
Where the unty of the family and Its -moral
power are impaired, the national
Ufa is Impaired. The situation calls '
to mind at this time the language of
DeToquevllle, who wrote of American
democracy 50 years ago: "Liberty can
not be established or maintained with
out morality, nor morality without
faith." It Is only a finer and larger
democracy, a race God-fearing and
moral, which can preserve the bless-
lngs of political liberty. - .
Let the words from Jefferson's first
Inaugural address, inscribed on the
pedestal of this statue, be memorised
and never forgotten by Americans:
"All, too, will bear in mind this sac
red principle, that, though the will of
the majority la In all cases to prevail,'
that will, to-be rightful, must be rea
sonable; that the minority possess
their equal rights, which equal law
must. protect, and to violate would be
oppression."
