^his column
Among the things I had occasion to toad during
the recent holidays was the famous diary of John
Quincy Adams. I did not read the entire diary by any
means, since Adams began keeping it when he was
only a few years old, and continued to keep it until
almost the day of his death. He died in his eighty-
first year, and the diary fills twelve stout volumes.
Fn m the part* of the diary I did read this time, 1
extracted a few comments of general interest.
; The diary is the revealing record of an inten-
sell interesting man who had a career a* full of
interest as his own personality. The son L«f John
Adams, second president of the United States, John
Quincy travelled abroad with his father on John's
diplomatic missions John Quincy went to Harvard
and later studied4aw, but he did not practice to any
extent, because he became a minister to the Hague
at twenty-seven years of age Thereafter bis acti
vities included: Minute*! to Berlin; member of the
state legislature; United State* Senator; professor
at Harvard; minister to Rassta; minister to England;
Secretary of State; PreaMent of the United States;
member of the House of Representatives until his
death.
Among the things I noticevf in the diary was the
amount of a gesture toward a Strike on khe part
of government workers, in 1837. A Rams aay>. “There
was a gathering this morning of perhaps a hundred
laborers in the front yard of the President’s house.
It was said their object was to remonstrate against
working more than ten boors a day. It kaa said the
President sent them word he could not parley with
them so long as they should present themselves in
that meaner." > ^ ^ ' y
Moot of us may not know that for a long time
it was the custom of members of the United State*
( ongreas te wear their hat^during tee sessions Yet
101 years ago Adams records that th#e was adoptee!}
without opposition, and “much to my surprise, s rule
that during the sittings of the House the members
shall remain uncovered. From the first existence of
the Government the members of the* House have been
in the practice of Wearing their hat* except when
addressing the House Numberless attempts have
been made to alter the rule, always, till now, without
sfpMiu.” S J
What is the souree of the torrent of public
speaking on special occasions? According to Adams,
The custom of delivering orations on public occa*4
ions was introduced into this country by the Boston
massacre of 5th March, 1770, of which there were
thirteen delivered successively, till 1733, in Boston
town-meeting. The 4th of July was then substituted
for the yearly town oration, and these have been
continued till the present time. Other towns and
cities have followed their example, and other occas-
kms have been taken for the delivery of similar dis
courses, till they have multiplied so that they now
outoumber the days of the year.•
We are aware of the irresistible power of the
drive for grants and pensions for veterans of the
World War. Some of os know of the similar success
that greeted the efforts #f the Grand Army of the
Republic toward the clone of the last century. Adams
pushes the story bark to another war—our first as a
natk> n. He tells of the introduction into the House of
a claim for the heirs of a Colonel Anthony White, a
Virginian officer in the Revolution. He had lent tee
i inte,i Siau-s $15*1,000 in paper money in 1780, when
it was worth 13.000 The claim, however, included
interest for 56 years, and brought the total to
$12^00. Adams himself wondered why nothing bad
been heard of this for 56 years, but, he says, “being
a Virginian Revolutionary claim, it was irresistible
A few members of the old-fashioned stubborn ac
countanta and stiff economists held out; but for the
Revolutionary claim, the mere name is bow al).
sufflekut.”
Adam s opinions on the position of the Supreme
Court have interest to a populace which has recently
bton engaged in a hot dispute over the powers of the
Court Said he, “All constitutional governments are
f!> TibU thing*; and as the Supreme Judicial Coart
h the tribunal of last resort for the construction of
the Constitution and the laws, the office of Chief
Justice of that Court is a station ... of influence
Ur extensive then that of the President of
the United States.” When someone
later, why he had put the Chief Justice above the
President, he answered it was “because the power
of ctmstructing the law i* almost eqafcralewt to the
power of enacting it," and the Chief Justice baa,
practically, a life term, as against the President’s
on* or two terms of four years each.
