In American history innumerable memorable words and phrases have been written and spoken in cormection with Presidential inauguration ceremonies. Only recently the whole nation stood at attention when General Ike was inaugurated as our 34th President. Splendid woids were spoken on this great occasion. *

All of which brings to mind the historical fact that perhaps the most eloquent and appealing words ever pcnned in connection with a Presidential inauguration, were those of a woman. She was Abigail Adams, wife of President John Quincy Adams. It is meet and just that Americans should continue to be thrilled by her words, for they were indeed historical.

Many historians are of the opinion that Abigail Adams was a much more gifted person than her better advertised husband, the President. She was one who hid her light under a bushel. She did not advertise, yet history notes that she was very brilliant, very wise, very devoted. ***

When her husband was inaugurated President, she did not attend the ceremony, but stayed at home to shower him with her good thoughts. And on that very day she sent him a letter so wise and wonderful that it belongs in American history. Put it in your scrapbook, and you will 6nd little else there to compare it with, regardless of other contents. Here is what she wrote:

"My thoughts and my meditations are with you, though personally absent; and my petitions to heaven are that the things that make for peace may not be hidden from your eyes. My feelings are not those of pride or ostentation upon the occasion. They are solemnizedby a sense of the obligations, the important trusts, the numerous duties connected with it. That you may be enabled to discharge them with honour to yourself, with justice and impartidity to your country, and with satisfaction to this great people, shall be the daily prayer of your Abigail Adams."

Many and remarkable prayers and petitions for peace have been uttered in recent years by good and true men, but it is doubtful that anything printed or spoken surpasses for magnificence of words and phraseology Aibgail Adams pl'ea "that the things that make for peace may not be biddeo from your eyes." What a text! What a prayer! What a woman! *

We might all well pray that "the things that malc for peace may not be hidden from" the eyes of our new Prcrident. For that would be the grcatest gift thb devotcd man could hand to this nation and to thc world; a formula for peace. All else is secondary in importance. And that ir tAe universal feeling and opinion of tte mcn and worncn of this nation. We read and hcar cvcry day of the doings in oficial Washington of tte new organization that heads thir government; and every one of us instinctivety and automatically asks this question: "Havc they a workable forrnula for peace?" Nothing clsc rcally matterr.

The busin*srnen of this nation "lilre lke." They Lnor that for thc first time in twcnty long yean, thcrc il a good chance that we will have a fricndly atmosphcrc for businer in the national administration. It would probably provoke no argument from anyone to statc that we bave had twenty years of government in Washington tbat bar becn continuously anti-business. Roocevelt didikcd businccr and businessmen, and Eade no cffort to conced hir feclings. Truman has leaned in practicdly tte samc direction- Hir much advertised failurc to run a small busincs rucccrrfulln stuck in his craw. + * *

It has been said innumcnble tirnes that there arc jurt two ways for a man to get a iob. Onc is to go into busincs for himself, thc other to go to work for somconc e!rc. Thc latter of coursc furnishes the huge majority of joba T'hc mo.st important man in our entire domestic pictue is the job-maker. We have 63 milliqp of people gainfully employed at the present time becausc wc lravc tens of thousands of'men who makc it thcir businca to crcate iobc for others. But for the past twenty years that most important man, the job-maker, has been hctd in low estccm in the United States. We hcard an economic authority say the other day that the reason there were still 12 milliom men unemployed in the United Statcs when tte Sccond World War started, was because Rooscvelt refused to recognize and mechanize the importance of tae job-maker. It was not until the war came dong that tbe millions of unemployed found jobs. * * *

There is a general feeling among the business people of the nation ttat we now have a President who understafids the facts of business and economic lifc, and who will understand the importance of planng ball with business;
