rAFT's TRIBUTE TO CLEVELAND


Mr.. Taft's estimate Of Grover
Cleveland as expressed in his Grafton
at the unwilling of a monument to the
memory of the departed president, was
as follows:
"Mr. Cleveland was not a great law
yer: he was not great economist;
he was not a great orator; but he was
a great president and a great man;
and he was these because Of the
strong mind, clear Intelligence and
7 Hde knowledge Of affairs. He had the
Character, honesty, courage and sense
jof public duty which enabled him to
meet great and critical issues without
regard to personal consequences.
when he was nominated for the
third time for the presidency he was
nominated against the will of the poll
ticians and by popular uprising in the
ranks of the party
He was PARTISAN and believed IN
parties. as s1sryone must who wishes :,
popular gc/ernment to succeed; but ne
looked upon party as an instrument OF
good government, and when 1t was
madeAn instrument to accomplish pur-
pose disastrous to the public veal he
refused to follow 1t. The party left
him to embrace new doctrines whose
support properly subjected It to popu-
lar distrust which kept It out of power
for three successive presidential terms
"When he left the white house the
last time 1t would seem that the bit
terness Of the enmity and open attack
upon him by his former party asso-
ciates would overwhelm him, and that
his leaving office without a party was
a humiliation hard to bear. But as
years wore on, in his dignified retire
ment, in the great benefit he wrought
for this great university and in the
wide influence for good he exercised in
the country, the whole public began to
perceive with clearness the exceptional
qualities Of the man, which had shown
forth in crises during his presidency.
Now that the voice Of the partisan
critic is still and the people could see
him L. due proportion with other men
of history, he took the place he earned
among the men entitled to the graft
tude of their country"

When they had moved away. along
"a little jasmine bordered path, Char
ley lifted her hand and shook his head
sadly.
The proof that you belong to me
is gone. 1t makes me very unhappy
not to see it famming there"
Alice pulled at thread-like chain
and out of her bodice came his circle
|of gems.
"Put 1t on again" she whispered,
