although he was restrained from di-
rectly supporting Blaine by the instruc-
tions of his state in favor of the nOmi-
nation of John Sherman. Conkling, a
handsome fop, carefully studied the
right moment to make his theatrical
entry upon the stage the first day,
drawing the applause as he advanced
down the aisle with his acknowledgement
swell, his majestic supereminent, over
towering. turkey gobbler strut" which
Blaine had held up to the laughter of
congress years before in a never-to-be-
forgiven speech. The next day Gar
field took his revenge by entering while
Conkling was speaking, and the well
coming cheers drowned the voice of
the indignant speaker. On the third
day the two came to grips in a de-
bate and the Ohioan scored on the New
Yorker.
While the gallery still was cheer
ing the victor in that round, Conkling
wrote on the margin of a newspaper
and sent to Garfield a mocking sugges-
ton that he was playing to the gal,
lery in his own interest: 81 congrat-
ulate you on being a dark horse!"
In truth Garfield could not rise in
the convention without helping him
self more than he helped Sherman,
who never had a chance to win. AS
ballot after ballot was taken, ii be-
came plain that neither the Immortal
306" who followed Grant nor the deaf
ening cheers which his name evoked
could overcome the prejudice against
a third term in the White House, and it
was made equally plain that this "Old
Guard" never would surrender to
Blaine.
A new candidate was necessary If
the convention vas not TO fall to
pieces in factions. One solitary vote
for Garfield on most of the ballots had
continued to point the finger of des-
thy at him. Wisconsin pointed all her
fingers in his direction when her dele

fourth ballot.
Garfield rose with pallid face and
dry lips to a point of order. But Sen
ator Hoar of Massachusetts,, who was
in the chair. raped him down. In two
more ballots he was nominated by a
combination of the Blaine and Sher-
man men.

nee sat limp and perspiring in his seat,

JAMES ABRAM GARFIELD was the
- latest and, it 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 who
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-
vention which met at Chicago in 1880
All the "Stalwart" clans, believing witt,
a 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
Half 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.

A. GARFIELD fell a sacri

JAMES A. GARFIELD fell a sacri-
y fee to the spirit Of faction and Of
the spells system. Although this gen.
tie, kindly man was not of the heroic
stuff that martyrs are made of, his
blood became the seed of better things
in our politics.
Rarely if yer has a president taken
up the burden of the office with a 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 a 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 a slight ossifcation 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 it above fac
tions, 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,
a lieutenant Of Blaine, whom he ap-
pointed to the se%cretaryship of state
with the love of a comradeship of
eighteen years"-and who became at
nee the power behind the throne.
The only president to step directly
from the capitol to the White House,
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 Conklings
reluctant but timely support in the
campaign and invited him out to Men
tor in the winter to talk over the New
York patronage. He thought of invit-
ing him into the cabinet itself, until
Blaine whispered no.
Less than three weeks after he tosk
his seat, Garfield told the senator that
he was not yet ready to consider the
question of filling the New York Of
fees. Only As hours afterward. he fill
ed them, nominating for the highest Of
those offices Blaine's best friend and
Conkling's worst enemy in New York.
With Garfeld's hand, Blaine had
thrown down the gauntlet TO the
naughty chieftain of the "Stalwart"
clan and a duel of factions was on in
blind fury. The administration sue
ceeded in beating Conkling in the SEN
ate, where he opposed the confirma-
ton of the offensive nominee. But the
senator and his colleague, Thomas c.
Plat, resigned their seats and appeal
ed to the New York legislature to re-
elect them as a vindication of their
course.
When the conflict was bitterest and
when the "Stalwarts' were losing at
Albany, a disappointed place hunter at
Washington, Charles ]. Guiteau, con-
ceived the mad idea of saving the sit
uation with a pistol shot, and he posted
himself at the railway station, where
his victim was to take a train for Mas
sachusetts. The president was going
hack to Williams college, the goal of
his struggling youth. and vas smiling
like a boy off for a vacation as he
entered the waiting room at the rail-
way station WIN Slalne at his side.

Diamond Mining in Pike 9 aar.t.e eT lg. -,,s, ,.
 Halts for the Winter

tions of the Arkansas Diamond Corpor. tions of the Arkansas Diamon Corpor. ation near Mdrfreesboro, Pike county have been suspended for the winter months, according to s. H. Thinner man engineer in charge, to permit the installation of additional machin- cry and to avoid the expense of hand ling earth that is wet and heavy. from winter rains and snow.
 MT. Zimmerman said it had been de- cided that the diamond corporation could make more thorough test of the mine with the funds that are avail able if operations were carried on only during the warmer and dryer months of the year. Rains and freezing tenn peratures render the peridotite and the overlying gumbo soil expensive to han dle with the present testing equipment but no seasonal interruptions will be necessary when the permanent plant is installed The order to cease oper- ations temporarily is merely part of the plan of the company to operate the test plant with the greatest possi- ble efficiency, handling as much ma terial as possible at the lowest possible cost. Labor at the mine is performed by farmers of the community and that there is shortage during the winter and early spring when the farmers are making their crops,
 The present plant was installed at a cost of $1OO,OOO and began opera tions in September, 1920. The work performed thus far has been entirely satisfactory, about 15,O0O tons of ma terial having been treated. It is the intention of the company to wash 150,000 tons of peridotite during the next two years. It is expected that this will permit the commercial value of the mine to be fully determined from treatment of moderate samples of material from all parts of the mine area.

PardOned Man at Once ..-...-.
 q Rearrested at Capital

.I Little Rock, Jan. 9.-James Arthur
 Eek, alleged member of one of the most notorious land swindling gangs ever operating in Arkansas, was par doned yesterday by Governor Brough after Eek had served IA months of a five year sentence for grand larceny.
 Eek was immediately re-arrested by United States Deputy Marshal R. J. Hodges, and is now held in the county jail pending trial in the United States District Court on charges of using the mails to defraud.
 The operations which resulted in Eck's conviction and Imprisonment were staged in Pine Bluff. According to evidence at the trial the alleged Hand company of which Eek was a member, opened offices in Pine Bluff during the summer of 1919, and adver- tised Arkansas plantations for sale at very low prices. Several northern 1 farmers came to Pine Bluff in response to the advertisement, and these were said to be the principal victims. It charged that the mode of procedure was to show the prospect one of the rich near by plantations, produce for ged title deeds or other documents, and require a draft as part of the pur vii 1trn to be delayed until the company off, cials" had time to cash the drafts and decamp. Eek was the last man left in Pine Bluff when the party departed and was arrested before he could leave.
 Eek was first indicted by federal grand jury and was admitted to $20,- 900 bond, While out on bond he was rearrested by state officials and tried and convicted on the grand larceny charges. A federal warrant has been on file at the penitentiary every since he was committed to the state prison, and when it became known yesterday that he was to be freed, Deputy Hodges was notified to be present to take him in charge.
 Reports from Pine Bluff last night slated that there was considerable sentiment of disapproval expressed at Eck's pardon.
