Speaking of tho proposed Tofforsonian
banquets in New York in which Mr
Hohnont and Mr Bryan figure so con
spicuously tho Outlook says Tho
Tammany dinner iu honor of Jefferson is
incongruously a affair
whilo tho anti Tammany dinner is at n
price which squares with Jeffersons no
tions of political simplicity
Such a statoniont coming from some
member of tho rural press whoso zeal
for democracy was pardonably greater
than his historical knowledgo might bo
allowed to pass unnoticed When
found howovor in tho columns of ono
of tho most critical journals in America
it calls for comment and refutation
Thomas Jofforson had it istruo many
notions of political simplicity To him
liborty owes much His broad sympa
thies for humanity aro unquestioned
Expressed in that immortal Declaration
of lndoponilonco they will never bo for
gotten But when it comes to tho daily
living tho facts of history do not con
firm tho idea that a ton dollar n pinto
dinner would havo boon incongruous to
tho Monticello statesmnu Jefferson
was simple in his political idens but
Jofforson was not simplo in hiB wnys of
living Ho was liko other mou tho
product of his environment Ho hnd a
training that did not consult tho neces
sities of poverty but rather tho demands
of luxury He spoilt many years in tho
Parisian court whou royalty was at its
hoight iu Franco Ho wns a courtly
Virginian tho owner of an innnouso
plantation and ho royally entertained
his friends In that day the hospitality
of tho Virginian planter meant a lavish
use of money and material and nu ele
gance of display that savored of ostenta
tion and plenty Tho real Jeffersonian
dinner at Monticello revealed fruits and
vegetables meats and choicest viands
wines of rarest vintage Tho tables not
ouly groaned under a superabundance
of richest foods but thoy glittered with
a sorvico of silver plate solid ami
nuiquo The guests woro costumes
whoso beauty and elegance would mako
tho plain dress suits of the presont look
tame indeed
Mr JoiVonon would not havo been at
all abashed by any dinner that tho ton
dollar democrats may servo It is a
pity that oven in a land whero democ
racy prevails in remembering democra
cys earnest exponent that hero worship
leads us to throw a glamour ovor him
that is unjustifiable
If theso early heroes of tho republic
Jefferson Washington and tho others
could speak to us wo bolievo they would
exclaim in Oromwellian ncceuts Paint
us as wo actually were
They deservo to bo enshrined iu our
hearts irrespective of their party affilia
tions or our own as leaders iu tho van
guard of freedom To them wo are
greatly indebted IJut Jofforsouiau
simplicity is a misnomer Virginian
lifo ami uuumers at that tinio was but
tho reflection of English aristocracy and
French royalty Tho fathers of tho
republic were courtly gracious and
noble but they belonged to a difforent
age from that o Abraham Lincoln and
James A Garfield In tho polite circles
in which Washington ami Jefferson
showu with such brilliancy William
MoKinley or William J Bryan iu their
present day attiro would have cut a
sorry plight But as au embodiment of
geuuiue American simplicity tho pro
duct of moro than a century of tho rule
of tho plain people tho latter aro the
natural outcome And in this Mr Mo
Kinley and Mr Bryau nro only repre
sentative of the men who control in po
litical nud social affairs
Tho simplicity of Jefferson is not to bo
compared with tho prevalent business
liko attitude of our publio meu Never
was this nation so thoroughly democrat
io us it is now
