James R. Garfield of Cleveland,
son of the late President Garfield,
told one of the editors of The Ameri-

about travelling in 1878 as a boy with
his father, who was campaigning. One
night. after a speech in Michigan,
young Garfield said to his father:
Why do you repeat SO much? Do
you know that you said the same

this reply: You happen to be an es-

these repetitions. Others do not. I
repeat the same statements deliber-
ately in order that people may finally
get them. Anything that / want an
audience to get and remember l re-

Nelson w. AIdrich.

ST. Louis Globe-Democrat: History
will treat the fame of the late Senator
Nelson W. Aldrich far better than
critics did toward the
eno of his official career. He became
the target of democrats and insurg-
ent republicans, especially during the
discussion Of the Payne tariff meas
ure, while it was being passed and
after its enactment. Recognizing the
influence of reiteration and the
psychological value OF personiflcaticn.
his critics used his name as synonym
for methods in government which they
bitterly assailed. Yet even his most
critical colleagues privately admit
ted that he was an honest, sincere
man. Only once was he charged with
"a personal interest in any. of the tai VII
schedules he defended. MT. Bristow
charged this in connection with the
rubber schedule. This brought out
the only public defense Of himself
Mr. Aldrich ever made. He showed
conclusively to all unbiased followers
OF the controversy that the attack
was grossly unjust That Mr.. Aid
rich's viewpoint coincioed with that Of
large business men is not remarkable,
self. Only the most venomous or the
most ignorant of his critics ever in.
timated that he received orders from
big business"
Mr.. Aldrich was for a great part OF
his long career in the senate a domi
nant figure. While lacking the elo-
quence of many Of his colleagues and
never indulging in profound legal dis.
cussjons, he was master of details
of legislation and his remarks, in COM
mittees and in the senate, were al
ways enlightening. In fact, he &C.
quired reputation for omniscience
that was scarcely deserved. It was
for any man to become an
expert on the multitude Of SUBJECTS
with which Mr. A>ldrich dealt. But
there was one conspicuous service for
which he should receive everlasting
credit He was the guiding spirit of
the monetary commission which stud
led the currency sytems Of all the
countries of the world and made req
OF the most valuable
features OF the federal reserve system.
This commission carried On a cam
paign Of education which prepared
the bankers Of the country to make
criticisms of the crude
Glass bill It also, through the CO.
operation of the newspapers, educat-
ed the general public as to the neces-
sity Of a more elastic currency. I'm.
partial historians will in time give
Mr.. Aldrich his full share Of credit
for this achievement.

The finale of the window display

is added interest in the fact that there
are several prize winners in the pre-
vious contests who will be ineligible
to win money in this contest.
The points made by these contest
ants will count in the general aver

will be additional chances for the
money prizes. Ayres & Chapman, Re-

If any one Of this quintette Is rated
high enough to get in the money,
they will retain their place but be
barred from thu money, which creates
another prize for someone else.

two Of the judges, as usual, and the
Civic league will name the third one.
No announcement is made yet con-
corning these arbiters.
The committee is hoping that those
Of the merchants who didn't go into
the contest last time, and who were
entered for the series, will recon.
slider their action and make up win
dow for this final contest.
1t is quite generally believed that
the last contest will be the best one,
and everyone is waiting to see if this
prophecy will be fulfilled. Last time

is expected that to even greater X
