Here Mr.. Garfield gained his spurs
by addressing himself to the task of
dealing with the land thieves. He also
removed many of the red tape customs
that had been retarding business, and
had put the work Of the department
far behind.
President Roosevelt was much de-
lighted with the vigor the son of
Ohio's first martyred president put in
his work, and Mr.. Garfield is now one
of the presidents closest advisers.
Two of Mr.. Garfield's brothers are,
like himself, lawyers, Harry A. and
Abram Irwin, the youngest member
of the quartet, is an architect.
Not so long ago it used to be the
custom to speak of Robert T. Lincoln
as prime presidential material. The
son of the great emancipation was an
early factor in political life. Hand
some in appearance, with a gift of elo-
quence and solid qualities of states
manship, he hailed from Illinois, the
state where the love Of politics is in
bred. He was a delegate to national
conventions. He went to England
and made reputation as ministeu to
the court of st. James. He had a place
in the cabinet Of President Garfield,
and was always consulted in party
council where important matters were
up for decision.
But of late years Mr.. Lincoln has
withdrawn from public life, and has
been devoting himself almost ex-
clusively to business, so that. there is
little probability of his being balloted
