JEFFERSON At A WIT
Ooe of the itorles revived od the
occasion of the recent birthday anni
versary o' the author of the Declara
tion of Independence repeals Jefferson
u one who was not incapable of enter
taining his friend* with a ready wit.
The light it throws on the great states
man of a century ago, whoee writlnga
which were copious and covcred a
field as wide as the whole range of
literature, science and politic** were all
in ? vein so serious that one can hardly
imagine the authour at in any other
mood than one of profound concern, ia
rather ?ti ange th*n ortherwiae to the
ordinary reader of American history.
The new Jefferson story ia told by
Frederick J. Haskin. the newspaper
correspondent, and ia a? followa.
"Jesse Maury, of Charlottesville,
va.. who died only ? year ago at the
age of remembered Mr. Jeffersoj ;
quite well. He wa? fond of lelliog a !
ttorv of the day when a building was ;
to be dedicated at the Unirersity of ?
Virginia and President Monioe had j
cocnd from WtthiQftOQ to present.
Ex-Prwirtent Mtdiion was ther# also, |
and Mr. Jefferson, of courae. The!
three- Jefferson.Madison and Monroe- - j
were wa-k'.ne down the street when
they met Maury 'a father and the boy.
Replying to the elder Maury's aaluta
tlon. Mr. Jefferson said:
?? Well, we hate three Presidents
here If there were another we would
ha?s a quorum and could take a drink.
Mr. Maury drew himself up and said:
'? 'You forget, Mr. Jefferson, that 1
am the president of the Charlottesville
Possum Club.'
?' 'Tt'a a quorum, 'cried Mr- Jefferson, 1
and there w?s a tavern handy with]
mint all ready for the cup."
Of coarse, the fourth president re
ferred to by Mr. Jefferson was John
Adams. Waahington was dead and
Adams, Jefferson. Madison and Monroe
were the only living men who had been
president up to that day.
The objection of union ffcoor to Pres
ident Roosevelt's frequent attacks
upon Mover, Haywood and Pettibone,
the lab-jr offioial* who are charged in
Idaho with complicity in the murder of
former Gov. Steuoenberg, it justifiable.
The chief officer of the law in the
ihe Coiled States should not forget
that a man is presumed to be innocent
until he is proved guilty beyond a reas
onable doubt, nor should he do any
thing to inf.jme public opinion to such
an extent that an accused man may not
be able to get a fair trial. There is
guod ground for the assertion that
President Roo.evelt. who has seeming
ly tried these men in his own mind and
found them guilty, is indulging in a
practice for which certain so-called
sensational papers have been severely
condemned by the president himself.

patsies the salary ordinance ?u an
oversight meh as frequently occurs
with much larger anil more august
representative bodies than a muccipal

likely to happen with any council and
at anv time. It is fortunate '.hatjthia
