McKinIey,s Good Courage.

Gov. Mckinley addressed the Wool
Growers association at Columbus last
week Friday night. 1t was his first speech
on politics since the election. He said: 81
do not know what will happen to the wool
growers under the legislation that | sup
pose will come in with the new admins
tration. l do know that those who are in
favor of free wool are hopeful and expect
ant, and those who are opposed to it are
respondent. | don't believe in giving up
the fight after one engagement and one de
feat. l am not one of those who believe
in making raw material free. do not be-
lieve that wool should be free at one end of
the factory and taTiffed at the other end.
You are entitled to the highest protection,
and you should express your convictions in
every possible and legal and suitable way.
| am here to say to you that in my iudg-
ment this great policy of protection is
true policy, and is just as dear to the
American people as ever before. cannot
say that you have any reason for believing
that you will escape free wool. My only
hope is that the United States Senate will
be saved to the Republican party. l am
not in sympathy with the idea abroad in the
land that it is best to give the Democratic
party the power to put into law everything
which il believes should go on the statute
books. While that course would help the
Republican party, it would imperil the vast
interests of our country. ! know in past
times the Senate has stood between the
people and free wool. You wool growers
have worked too hard and too long to give
up the fight now. You are in the most
critical period of this great industry. l do
not know how you may feel about it, but
have not lost any of my courage"

We Ought to Be Thankful


Our labor troubles have not been so
serious as those in France, Austria and
England; and our harvests, compared with
those of other parts of the world, have
been doubly abundant. We have had no
such political scandal as the Panama affair
in France; no wars, and no such fearful
calamity as the floods in China or the
cholera scourge which has afflicted Asiatic
and European states. Our people have
reason to enter upon the new year with
thankfulness for the fortune that has cast
their lot in the most favored, prosperous
and freest land the sun shines upon.

which Is the strangulRtiOn POIicy'
From the New York Press

In the ten years 1SS0-1S90 the import
trade of the United Kingdom increased
$4,000, 900, or 6,26 per cent; that of the
United States increased $16S,000,00O, or
29.O3 per cent. Exports of the United
Kingdom grew in the same ten years S92,-
600, 900, or 6.S2 per cent; the exports of
the United States grew S146,000, or
23.6 per cent. This made an increase
in the total foreign trade of the
free trade country of S205, 100000 or 6.5
per cent, while our foreign trade insreased
1904, 100000, or 25.15 per cent. 1t is
free trade rather than protection which
strangles foreign commerce, for it impOv-
erishes the people that practice it, and rObs
them of the ability to buy from other
countries.

From the Philadelphia Record

Nathan Appleton of Boston, admits hav-
ing received S32, 900 for eight years service
as general agent of the Panama Canal COM
pany, and Richard w. Thompson of Terre
Haute, is said to have received S25, 900 a
year during the same period of time. 1t
would be interesting to know the character
of the services for which these tidy stipends
were received; but it is the unavowed re-
cipients concerning whom public curiosity
is becoming especially whetted. If$2,000,-
600 of canal funds came to this country,
what did it come here for and where did it
go?

The'word blizzard has been greatly mis-
used of late, The Century dictionary de-
fines it as "a gale or hurricane accompa-

and the American Meteorological Journal
as "a mad, rushing combination of wind
and snow which neither man nor beast
could face"

The Theatre.

Did Il ever occur to those reverend and
much beloved brethren who depounce the
theatre in unmeasured terms, that the desire
for the theatre is born in the human heart,
and that until, miracle or the process of ev'
olution has changed his nature man will de-
mand the theatre, and to answer that demand
the theatre will exist forever. The proper
thing for preachers to do is TO strive to create
in the minds and hearts Of the people de-
mand for a clean theatre-a theatre which
will not corrupt. The theatre cannot be sup
pressed and should not be suppressed. 1t
should not only be purified, but It should be
utilized as the handmade Of religion. There
is no inherent sin in the theatre itself, any
more than there Is sin In book. 1t deper DIS
on the character OF the theatre and the tenor
OF the book as to whether there is sin in
either.
AS the Church and Christian people OF late
years have to q very large extent utilized the
secular press for the dissemination OF reli-
glous truths, Is there any good reason why
the theatre itself should not teach nobleness
Of character and purity OF heart while direct
ing devout and pious people to the foot of the
Cross?
The church people have corrected the evils
OF the circus, and now the vulgarity and pro-
family which formerly shocked the people. Is
heard no more.
Is there any reason why all needed reform
should not be brought about In the theatre?
The theatre can be reformed. bnt it cannot
be suppressed. The desire for the theatre will
exist forever, and that desire will perpetuate
the theatre. Therefore strive to purify it.
