James A. Garfield.
(By George Fitch.l

James Abram Garfield was a young man who had a magnificent start as a canal pilot and could have risen to the top of the pro- fession, but who ruined his chances in this line by quitting work and going to college.
 Many of the oldest canal men >On the old Ohio canal back ilr the late forties pied with young Garfield to stick to his work and rise until he had canal boat of his own and could smoke all day on the after deck, but he was headstrong and would not do so. Instead he went to college and joined Greek letter society, raised whiskers and helped duck freshmen in the presidents horse trough. This affected his mind so that he became president of a college himself for a short time. But his frivolous nature made him resign once more, just as things were coming his way. and become lawyer.
 No sooner had young Garfield done this than he got himself elected tO the Ohio senate. thus rluding d client who had almost decided io retain him. And he had no sooner become power ill the senate. than he threw away his chances once more and went south as lieutenant-c colonel of an Ohio regiment in the civil war.
 Young Garfield had now frit- tered away his life until he was '32 years olf and everybody said ii was pity that he had no sta- 'bility. having given up five good chances in ten years. But he persisted in his course and mo sooner had he become d major general than he resigned i;dtNr more and went tO congress.
 rms was a me opening Tor Garfield and he stuck to his job until 1880 against the express wishes of many Democratic can didates in his district. In 1880 he became United States senator and all would have been well had he not gone to the Chicago con- vention to help nominate Sher- man for president and acciden- tally gotten nominated himself. He was elected president that fall and was just getting settled in the office the next July when he was shot. He will always be spoken of as one of the country's martyr"d

Presidents List.
President Wilson decided on the fol-
lowing diplomatic appointments:
Thomas Nelson Page, of Virginia,
to Italy; Henry VanDyke, of New Jer-
sey, to the Netherlands; John E.
Lamb, of Terre Haute, Ind, ambassa-
dor to Mexico, and Meredith Nichol
son, of Indianapolis, minister to one
of the smaller European states, prob
ably Belgium.
All these nominations, except that
of Mr.. Lamb, probably will go to the
senate within the week.
The Mexican appointment will be
held up until next fall because the
United States does not consider it
polite to appoint an ambassador to
Mexico until after the election in that
country next October.
The state department does not
wish to recognize the Huerta COVE
eminent, and it is feared that the ap-
pointment Of an ambassador at this
time will be construed by the MeXi-
cans as a recognition of the present
administrator.

Iating Sherman Law.
President John M. White and
eighteen other officials of the United
Mine Workers of America, were in
dicted in the Federal court at Charles
town, w. Va, on a charge of violat-
ing the Sherman antitrust law. 1t is
alleged the defendants conspired with
the coal operators of western Penn
syvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois
to raise wages in the West Virginia
coal fields, so as to prevent its COM
petition with other states.
Those named in the indictment are
John P. White, president; Frank j.

1t is said that this case is the first
one in which officers of labor organi-
cations have been indicted on charges
of having violated the Sherman anti

The indictments charge that the
nineteen men engaged in combina-

trade and commerce. The offense is

BETTER MAIL SERVICE.


Sweeping Reorganization.
Postmaster General Burleson and
his assistants are working out a
scheme for the sweeping reorganiza-
ton of the railway mail service in the
fourth division which promises great
improvement in mail service in the
southeastern states.
George W. Pepper, superintendent,
has been marked for dismissal. 1t IS
understood that Edward c. King, who
has been first assistant for a number
of years, will succeed him as division
superintendent.
Another feature of the new policy
is the separation of the two races in
mail cars and elsewhere as much as
possible. Under this plan the negro
mail clerks would work together in a
car on one run, and the white clerks
would have different run.
There are many difficulties in the
way of this REIMBURSEMENT, but it will
be made if the committee can find the
means to bring it about.
