WILLARD FAMILY STORY RETOLD

Oswald Garrison Willard, who is director Of
the Associated Press, will now retire from active
daily journalism and devote his talents presum-
ably, to the weekly Nation. His mother was
daughter of William Lloyd Garrison and thus he
derives his middle name. He was born in 1872 at
Weisbaden Germany, where his parents were tenn
porarly residing, but is graduate of Harvard and
has passed practically his entire life in this coun-
try. He worked as reporter on the Philadelphia
Press for year before taking up his duties as an
editorial writer and publisher of the Evening Post

are monographs on the early history of Wall street
and on the German imperial court.
Willard was not the original family name, but
Higard 1t was changed by the father, Henry,
upon coming to the United States in 1853. He
was born in Epeyer, Rhenish Bavaria, in 1885.
During the Civil war he won distinction as a
correspondent with the federal troops and during
the brief Austro-Prussian war in 1866 served as
correspondent Of the New York Tribune His
marriage to daughter of William Lloyd Garrison
occurred upon his return to this country the same
year. After the financial panic of 1873 he became
the representative Of the German bondholders of
the Pacific railways Subsequently he acquired
the interests Of the European investors, organized
the Oregon Railway & Navigation company, fnan-
ced and obtained control of the Northern Pacific
and completed the main line. He lost for pres-
dency and control of this road for time, having
sacrificed fortune in the enterprise, but regarded
it and was chairman of the board of directors
from 1889 to 1893. AS a railroad builder he was
a great factor in the development of this north
coast country. He died in l900-Post 1nteli-

1t follows: Nsf'
United States vs.. John Johnson.
1t is the first time that charge of
this kind has been brought before the
court, and wish to be quite clear and
specific in what do and say.
Z The charge is this: The defendant,
Johnson, is charged with having Of
fered to pay the officers of the local
board $500, to secure exemption OF
his son from military service. The
conduct of the board, from the begin
ming to the end. has been the conduct
of clean, high-nlinded, faithful ser
wants. They resented Immediately
any such indecent assault upon their
integrity, They took the action which
was necessary in order to bring the
matter to public attention instead OF
dealing with it privately, and in that
they showed not only their high prin.
ciple, but their good sense. These
boards must necessarily deal with sub
jects which rest to a considerable ex-
tent in the field of opinion, of discre-
ton. Shall this man receive defer
red classification; shall this man be
exempted by reason of physical de-
fects? Now. those judgments or con.
illusions are in either case a matter Of
opinion, based upon a careful investi-
cation of facts. The conclusion as to
which a just mind ought to come may
vary. People get hold of a few frag-
