JAMES A. GARFIELD fell a sacri-
- fee TO the spirit of faction and OF
the spolls 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 ever has president taken
up the burden of the Office with larg-
er measure of good will from the poo
pie, regardless Of party and of fac.
ton, than flowed ont 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
"'One thing though lackest yet and
that is a slight Justification OF the
heart" John Hay had written to the
president-elect This lack was fatal.
Had his heart been harder, Garfield
