JAMES ABRAM GARFIELD was the
j latest and, 1t is fairly safe to say,
the last of the presidents born and
bred in log cabins. Notwithstanding
that humble state, he was one Of the
half-dozen scholarly men who have sat
in the presidential chair.
Garfield is the only president whe
was present at his own nomination.
The presidential lightning struck him
as he sat in his seat in that most ex-
traordinary and exciting national con-
yention which met at Chicago in 1880.
All the "Stalwart" clans, believing with
st. Louis editor that there was zone
more president in the bloody shirt
seized upon the great name Of Grant,
and under the banner Of the "Hero Of
Appomattox'' they rallied against the
sHalf Breeds who followed "the
Plumed Knight" James G. Blaine Of
Maine.
The rival champions in that remark
able tournament at Chicago were Ros-
soc Conkling, chieftain of the "Stal-
warts" and James A. Garfield of Ohio,
the spokesman of the Half Breeds"
The Nezperce herald. (Nezperce, Idaho) 1900-1957, 1920-10-28

JAMES A. GARFIELD fell a sacri-
= fce to the spirit Of faction and of
the spoils system. Although this gen
tie, kindly man was not of the heroic
stun that martyrs are made of, his
blood became the seed Of better things
In our politics.
Rarely If ever has president taken
up the burden of the office with larg-
er measure Of good will from the peo-
pie, regardless of party and of fac
ton, than flowed out to Garfield as he
stood on the steps of the capitol in
the sunshine of his inaugural day, the
picture of robust American manhood
in its prime. His first kiss, after kiss
ing the Bible in the presence Of a
multitude of witnesses, was for the
aged mother, who, in forest hut, had
started him on his way to the White
House and who held a place of honor
beside the schoolmate sweetheart who
had been his faithful companion all
along the road.
Zone thing though lackest yet and
that is slight Justification of the
heart" John Hay had written to the
president-elect This lack was fatal.
Had his heart been harder, Garfield

would have made his administration
wholly his own, lifting 1t above fac
tons, and he might have lived through
a prosperous term. Instead, he re-
NAMED his few months in the White
House what he had been in congress,
lieutenant Of Blaine, whom he APP

he was without executive experience or
tastes. His whole training had been
to debate and compromise, not to act
or decide on his sole responsibility.
Garfield himself was rather indiffer-
ent to factions, liking to get along with
all men. He appreciated Conkling's
reluctant but timely support IN the
campaign and invited him out to Men
tor in the winter to talk over the rev
York patronage. He thought OF invit.

although he was restrained from d.

SEEK THIRD NAN
TO CLEAR UP MURDER
DR.. Vincent J. Campisi of Brooklyn Is
Believed to Have Been Killed When
He Threatened to Tell Police
About Murder of His
"Patient."

New York, March y26--Detectives OF
the homicide bureau to-day were
searching for third man" in the be-
lief that his capture would clear up
the mystery in the double murder OF
DIR. Vincent J. Campisi, wealthy
young Brooklyn physician, and an un-
identified patient" whose bodies were
found in a disordered lodging house
room in Brooklyn last night.
DIR. Campisi was summoned to visit
the patient last night by middle aged
man who accompanied him to the lodg-
ing house An hour later Dr. Campisi's
body, terribly slashed, was found on
the floor of the patients room. and the
latter was dead in his bed with the
imprint of human fingers on his throat.
The third man had disappeared.
One theory advanced was that the
patient had been assaulted earlier by
the missing man and that DIR. Campisi
was murdered by the same man after
the doctor, summoned TO give medical
aid, had pronounced the patient dead
and had threatened to notify the po-
lice. et

CLEMENT STANDS PAT.
Does Not Consider 1t Advisable or Nee
essary to Call Special Session.

Lillian Olzendam of Woodstock,
chairman of the State Suffrage league,
called this morning at the executive
office in the State House relative to
the calling of special session of the
legislature but as far as could be
learned no change in the attitude of
the governor occurred from the state
ment made last evening.
Governor Clement has been receiving
protests against the calling Of a spe-
cial session of the legislature. Many
of these come from nti-suffragists,
who for the most part are satisfied to
make their objections in the form of
letters.
Gov. p. w Clement last night stated
the following regarding an inquiry on
the Anthony amendment: 81 am thor

amendments to the federal constitu.
tion should only come after a pro-
posed amendment has been submitted

sions of the federal constitution and is

There was a furry this afternoon,
causing crowds to collect, when a squad

hold their arms above their heads.
There is evidence of some dissatis-
faction among the Reichswehr over

been missing from the army to wear
their uniforms. A number of such
men, including three officers, who
crossed the Rhine Monday night, have

Sullivan Of this city, who is being sued
in Washington county court by Lena
Dubie for the sum of $1,000, has been
placed in the Chittenden county Jail,

tody, he was an auto owner and driver
in the city of Barre, and on the l4th
of last September he was driving his
car along the driveway which leads
from Washington street past the Hotel
Barre to the garage in the rear.
The plaintiff, who was then an en-
ploye at the Hotel Barre. was standing
near the side entrance to the hotel
close TO the wall, it is said, and the
defendant drove against her carelessly
and negligently, fracturing her left
arm and bruising her generally, so that
she had to expend 500 for medical and
hospital treatment. She also lost seven
months time from her employment,
and wages amounting 10 $500, and now
claims that the injuries to her arm are
