since the beginning Of the Government and which |

against our American policy Of finance, and they /
are Insisting that we shall adopt the financial pol /

National independence that decline to adopt |
their proposition (Appause)

Of goodwill and greetings which you bring to me /

AN ADDRESS TO CLERGYMEN
At o'clock large delegation Of United /
Brethren clergyrnen who are attending a con- /
ference here. called on Major Mckinley. Bishop |
J. il. Mills. Of oregon. spoke in behalf Of the |
minister's and Major Mckinley. in response. /
said:
1t gives sincere pleasure to respond 20 /
this call Of greeting and congratulation. am
duly appreciative of the message Of goodwill !
which you go kindly bring from the great re-
liEious body you represent. 1t is a good |
omen when religious teachers are alive 10 the /
questions affecting the public welfare. Nothing /
Is more worthy of your study and consideration /
than those questions which tend to make the /
country great prosperous and righteous. civic /
virtue Is a good text for the preacher always |
hut better thing for every citizen TO guard
in his daily l!te Good citizenship lies at the
foundation or our true greatness as a free Gov
eminent Those who proclaim it are. indeed
Christian teachers and public ben@factors. The
better the citizen the better free government
and it's laws 1t is a gratifying fact. IS you
state that in our form of government character
counts for so much; the lack Of it. amounts
10 almost disqualification for public trust
ONE THING ON WHICH ALL AGREE
Whatever mems individual opinions on moral
questions NAV be, whether good or bad
whatever ma be their party affiliations. all
prefer that public officials shall be of high char
acter and worth They may be needless Of
virtue and careless In their own lives, but they
insist that those who are TO execute the public
will shall be men of unquestioned integrity
Public opinion demands this and happily all
political parties respect IT, wish for every re-
ligious body and every other agency whose OBJ
ject is TO elevate mankind the fullest measure
Of success No nCbler cause could engage your
faculties. j trust that your annual conference
here will be productive Of good. and that your
stay here will bring pleasure to you, as l am
sure IT has brought pleasure 10 our people ana
to our city. / will be glad to meet and greet
each Of you who has honored me to-
day and | thank you over and over again for
the courtesy ard compliment Of this call"
Great applause)
