of Parton and Sumner’s estimates of

There is a degree of irony in the
passing of Colonel Colyar just at the
time when the nation is urged by the
president to do ample justice to the
home of Andrew Jackson. True, the
Hermitage has not been wholly ne­
glected; it Is in much better condi­

It is not in the least creditable to
this big nation, nor to the state of
Tennessee, that the tombs of two
presidents are thus uucared for in
large measure. Johnson, to be sure,
was not of Jackson’s stature, nor was
Jackson all that he might have been,
in the eyes of some critical students J

president of this republic, one in the '
formative period, and the other in
the hour of the nation's greatest trial.
