PRESIDENT MCKINLEY feels at home
among the old soldiers, and addresses
them as comrades" which recalls the
fact that all the presidents since ISIS,
except one, could use the same inspir-
ing word. All these soldier presidents
were volunteers, and Grant alone OF
the number was educated at West
Point. Grant re-entered the army as
captain OF volunteers, Hayes as major,
Garfield as lieutenant-colonel, Har-
rison as colonel and Mckinley as a
private. In bestowing presidential
honors IL cannot be said that this re-
public has been ungrateful TO its de
