Five Minute Chafis on Our Presidente4 By JAMES MORGAN (Copyright, 1920. by James Morgan) AN ERA OF REFORM 1883-Jan. 16, Arthur signed the civil service law. 1884-Defeated for the Repub lican nomination by James G. Blaine. 1886-Nov. 18, died In New York aged fifty-six. TT IS one of the pranks of fate that Chester A. Arthur, whom President Hayes put out of the New York cus tom house as a spollsman and a politi cal boss, should find himself in the White. House seven months after Hayes left it and conducting a reform administration. It was the mandate and lesson of Garileld's assassination that we must get rid of factions and spoils or the government itself might next be struck down as its chief had been. Arthur saw that this was the logic of the tragedy which had thrust him into the presidency and he did his best to clean house. The race for preferment had excited an unnatural appetite for public office, and the getting of a job was regarded as exhilarating sport. From police man, fireman and letter carrier to chliefship and consulship, every place on the payroll of city, state or nation went by favor. Two endless proces sions were forever moving, one made up of those who had been turned out or turned down, and the other of those who were struggling to get in. The civil service law, which was passed in Arthur's administration, took out of politics the departmental clerk ships In Washington but 85 per cent of the federal employees as a whole were left under the spoils system. Nevertheless, the difficult first step had been taken toward the present com prehensive system, when- all but a few hundred of the hundreds of thousands Mrs. John E. M'Elroy. of places are open equally to self-re specting applicants, regardhless of par ties or politicians. Arthur also was the useful instru ment in carrying forward the recon cIliation of the sections. Lie was the first president in his generation who madle no reference in his annual mnes sages to the South or to a Southern question. lHe was indeed almost the first flresidlent in 50 years who felt free to ignore the unhappy issues of sect ional Iism. When he stepped into the White House Arthur found his party rent by factions. Hie left it more nearly unitedl than it had been before in 20 years and wvith at least a chance to win again in 1884i. Hie might him self have becen the Republican noem lace in that year if he had not scrupu lously refused to take an active part in promoting his candlidacy. He looked as well as actedl the presi (lent. The first city man in a line of rural or small towni men, Arthur was the best dressed man to sit in the chair since Washington, and perhaps the hmandlsomnest, with a tail, graceful fig ure, the manners of the great world and a grave but easy courtesy. Although a widower president, hig sister, Mrs. McI~lroy, wvas a charming mistress of the White House and under them the social life of the mansion took on a more sumptuous tone, His son andl namesake wvas awvay at school much of the time, but his little daugh ter, Nellie Arthur, lit up the hoase hold( with her song and laughter. Mrs. Ar thur dliedl only in the year be fore her husband's unexpectedl rise to the presidecncy, andl her absence from his side wvas a haunting sorrow to Ar t huir. Declining to remove the collreotor i6f the port of Newv York, whom (Garfir~cd had ap~pointed, against his protest, lhe even Ipermittedl that officehohelri te leave his post and oppose him;: lo the~ contest at the national convenilen. No other president has (lone .o little as Arthur did( to obtain a secrym ondi. It was wveli, not only for the- sake of the. high example he set, butl for hIs own sake also. Arthur's healtht was not equal to the strain of niolther administration and another term~ in the WVhite House, where he livi-d not wisely but too well. In 10.s than iwo yearn a~tr leaving the presidency, fol lowed by the good will of all the pco~ nie. ho was dead of anonlexv. - The New The rumors of 1921 fashions of lowered waist lines, flying pane are now confirmed or rejected by4 these fashions advance the mode, for greater values and lower levels come in and acquaint yourself witi Women's and Misses' Autumn G( bridge Crepe, Duvetyne, Poiret Twil), $16.50 Autumn Suits in Duvet de Laini Cord; priced from $22.50 NENW PA I-li OXFOllI)S l1'ashion shows a devided favori I1ism for low shou this fIali.
