was an ignoble period in our politics
when both parties were lodging the
irrepressible issue of slavery, and the
smaller the candidate for president
the better chance he had to dodge the
question.
In the teeth Of piercing northwest
wind, the old farmer president-elect,
bareheaded and disdaining the protec-
ton of an Overcoat, rode horseback to
the capitol. After addressing a great
crowd that shivered in its shawls and
furs, he insisted, though half-frozen,
on remOunting his horse and leading
the inaugural parade.
No sooner was the first Wing presi-
dent in the chair than the claims Of
factions and the clamOr for patronage
assailed him. Clay had declined
cabinet honors-and labors-in the
confident expectation of playing the
easier and more powerful role of the
power behind the throne. The i'm
perious manner of the Great Com
moner wounding the presidential
pride, he was requested to make his
calls at the White House as infre-
quent and inconspicuous as he con-
veniently could. Thereupon his total
absence became embarrassingly con-
spicuOus.
The one clear mandate of the cleo
tion of 1910 was to turn out the Demo-
Gratis and give the Jobs to the Whigs.
Straightway hungry horde fell
upon Harrison and literally devoured
him. In month to n day he was dead
of pneumonia, the first president to
die In office throughout the more than
so years Of Its existence.

In ability William Henry Harrison
fell below the standard of his prede-

MARTIN VAN BUREN,

"HE most notable event of Van
Il Buren's administration was the
occurrence of one of the great panics
from which in the nineteenth century
the country regularly collapsed every IS
or 20 years, as in 1919, 1887, 1857,
1873 and in 1893. Those periodic
prostrations always followed wild de-
bauches in speculation, but since 1t is
convenient and consoling to blame
some one else for our own sins, the
president invariably has been made
the scapegoat In each period Of hard
times.
No doubt Jackson's removal Of the
public deposits from the United
States bank caused financial disturb
ance and his distribution Of the fed
eral surplus among the state treasur-
les also was disturbing. The govern
ment, the banks and the people gen.
orally had all merrily Joined in SOW
ing the wind, whose harvest was the
whirlwind Of 1887.
The nation had been INDUCING in
the first Of Its big western booms. The
river steamboat aided to open up new
regions, where mushroom states, in
ambitious emulation of New York ana
its Erie canal. ran wild in appropria-
lions for the building of canals. Van

Buren, was the first president-elect to
ride in train even part of the way
to Washington, and the expansion Of
the steam railway system was begin

nation.
When the day of reckoning and re-
morse came; when bread riots broke
out; when laborers stood in line near
New York to get Jobs at a wage Of
a a month and board; when banks
suspended payments in coin, and when
business houses were tumbling into

to mutiny and seize the ship Of state.
Van Buren, faced the gale without
bending. He rose above political
maneuvering and the temptation to
latter the mad passions Of the hour
and preserved an attitude Of mas

The president did call congress In
extra session, but only to recommend
the adoption of the sub-treasury sys-

posed thnt Uncle Sam, like timid old
woman, should lock up his money in
the bureau drawer. And the economic
folly of the sub-treasury was persisted
