NELSON W.
WITH Xclson AV. lAltlrit'h passes ilio ablest, leader or
the old school of republican statesmen which dom
inated the party and the nation's a Hail's for half a century.
Aldrich himself set in the senate continuously from J8S1
to 191.1, and his power and influence was illustrated by the
titlo of "general manager of the United States," which
was satirically bestowed upon him.
During his public life Ins leadership was unquestioned.
In the senate he ranged as the greatest of parliamentar
ians. Though not an orator, he participated in most de-
nates aim sneciaii.eu on iariu
prestige in party councils was as great as in the senate,
and he was universally recognized as the representative
of "big business" and "the interests."
Mr. Aldrich was born in Foster, "R. I.,. November (J,
18-11. "While comparatively young, he was elected council
man in Providence. In 1S75 he was elected to tho Uhode
Island assemblv and four veal's later to conjrrcss. After
two sessions he was elevated to the senate.
2lv. Aldrich at once displayed unusual capacity for or
ganization. He applied business methods in his conduct of
public affairs. As chairman of the committee on rules,
and of the committee on finance, and on interstate com
merce, ho wielded a powerful influence. He participated
in the preparation of six revisions of the tariff, all of them
"upward." He fathered the emergency currency law of
1908, and subsequently devoted much time to currency
retorin.
Mr. Aldrich had the fundamental latter-da v republican
viewpoint. Jie considered his own judgment as enacted
by his party superior to the judgment of the people, whom
he never consulted and in reality held in contempt. Jn the
closing days of his public career he realized his mistake
and made his first trip west to overcome the growing hos
tility, but found it too late.
Mr. Aldrich, like many of his associates, considered he
was best serving his country in serving its great corpora
tions and its business interests. Their prosperity, Wall
street's prosperity, was ever in his mind. In liis long
public career he made no move to better humanity's con
dition, but was always on the
His legislative citorts were always for the dollar, never lor
the man.
No reflection is intended
sincerity, integrity or patriotism. He was the product of
conditions that obtained following the civil war period and
faithfully mirrored the then existing ideals of statesman
ship. It was an age of worship of the golden calf, and he
never outgrew the limitation of the time, ire typified and
personified the narrow aristocratic civilization of New
England whose "rotten borough" he so long ably repre
sented at Washington, but lie thereby lamentably failed
to rank among the nation's great. He lived according to
his lights, but his lights were not bright enough to shine
over a nation.

COMMUNICATIONS
To olho Editer:
In your issue of April 13 nn article
appeared under tho caption, "Con

for hauling gravel for tho county,

"The court offered to givo tho first
throe miles to the tenmMcrs, both
bids averaging $1.30, but tho team
sters iiihisted upon tho entire con
tract or none."
This statement is incorrect in Hint
tho teamsters were not offered the
three-mile hnul, which offer, hail it
been mndo, would Jmvo been accept
ed. Commissioner Madden informed
us that we could linvo tho one nnd
two-mile hauls, but thero positively
was no offer mndo us for tho ilireo
niile haul. Wo did not accept the one

fact thut there is no gravel liaiiliug
to do within this radius, except a

absence is caused by tho sickness of

which necessitates his absence.
Cuptnlu ('. A. Mivlone of the First
