Whoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce.--James A. GarfieldNot that I'm big on statues. but you would think that after more than a century his detractors (assassins?) would put their enmity to rest.

but as the old saying goes - out of sight, out of mind...

HIRAM, Ohio – Someone has beheaded a statue of President James Garfield that was installed last week at an Ohio college.Hiram College spokesman Shawn Brown says the vandalism was discovered Friday morning, just a day after the sandstone statue was dedicated on the campus in Hiram, 30 miles southeast of Cleveland.Brown says the college is hoping the head will be recovered so the 95-year-old statue can be restored, but police have no leads in their investigation.In the mid-1800s, Ohio native Garfield was a student and later the principal at the school that later became Hiram College. He was elected the nation's 20th president in 1880.The statue was acquired for Hiram by a college trustee who found it recently on an eastern Ohio farm.
