HISTORY BUILDERS.
A Far-of Tribute to an American
President.

| (written expressly for The Washington Herald
~ DIR. E. J. EDWARDS.
Horace Maynard was regarded by
James G. Blaine as a political platform
speaker we'll worth going miles to hear.
Many persons were of the opinion that
Maynard was a son of Tennessee. for II
was one of the Congressional districts
Of that State which he represented both
before and after the civil war. He gained
a reputation in Tennessee as a political
speaker which expanded SO that at last
he became known throughout the Coun-
try as a mastery orator of that kind. He
was, however. Massachusetts, born and
bred, and 1t was almost by chance that
he became a citizen of Tennessee, for
after his graduation from Amherst Col
lege he was asked to become a teacher
in Tennessee and went to the State for
that purpose. What he thought was a
temporary visit developed into permanent
citizenship.
Mr.. Maynard was tall and slender, re-
sembling in some of his physical fea-
lures another son of Massachusetts, whose
career was made in a remote State
John ]. Ingalls,. of Kansas. Gen. Grant
became very fond of Horace Maynard
and nominated him for Minister to Tur-
q
for about five years. He was summoned
from Turkey to become a member of
the Cabinet. in President Hayes admin
istration, as Postmaster General.
Shortly after Mr.. Maynard became
Postmaster General, he visited New
York. and in conversation with some
friends stated that the finest tribute
he ever heard or saw paid to a Presi-
dent Of the United States was one in far
of Jerusalem.
Mr.. Maynard modified this remark by
saying that the greatest tribute to the
office Of President Is one which Is paid
by the American people when with unan-
unity It recognized the dignifed and I'M
demonstrative manner in which a Chief
Executive retires from his Office to pri-
vate life while his successor assumes
his duties.
in Jerusalem. however. the tribute
was not only to the Presidency, but also
to a president" Mr.. Maynard said. 1T
was my privilege to be in Jerusalem at
. time when a great religious ceremony
was in progress I had made pleasant ac-
quaintance with the patriarch of the
Greek church. He invited me to be pres
ent at one of the most imposing cere-
monies Of his faith. I gladly accepted
the Invitation. There was a solemn pro-
cession around the Church Of the Holy

Health Commissioner Goldwater of New York,
differs altogether with Mr.. Henry Ford, of Detroit
who believes that most Of the people cat too much
and that over-eating causes a desire for strong
drink. "The poor don't suffer from over-cating, -
says DR.. Coldwater. at is quite true that there
are a great many persons among the well-to-do
classes who over-eat and over-drink. But the big
problem is how to provide enough food for the
many, not how to restrain the few from making
gluttons of themselves" He adds that the crav-
ing for strong drink is due to lack of food more
often than to gluttony and unwise eating At
present DR.. Goldwater seems to have the better of
the argument, and it will be UP to those in charge
OF the dietetie department which Mr.. Ford is to
establish in his hospital to prove his theories
which threaten to put the high cost Of living to
