No President was ever more highly COM
plmented or recei yed greater evidence of
the confidence of the whole people than
was President Mckinley when Congress,
composed of representatives of three great
parties, voted unanimously to place in his
hands, without restriction, $50, 600, 600 to
be used in the national defenseS and TO be
used in carrying out whatever policy his
Judgment might dictate, as events should
call for action. 1t not infrequently hap
pens that men for purely partisan reasons
and for advancement of the interests of
their organization criticise, sometimes
harshly, representative of the party to
which they are opposed, but when in a
crisis such as this, members of all parties
united in unanimously placing in the
hands of the Chief Executive of the ma
ton vast sum of money to be expended
in furtherance of the policy which he is
cautiously and conscientiously following
out, it shows how little is meant by many
such criticisms and how complete, after
all, is the confidence of the citizens ire
spective of party, in the man in whose
hands the destinies of the nation have
thus been placed.

trust gained no permanent advantage
through the enactment of the Dngley
''Refners who knew the profits of the
business and who had been long on stock
for years, and sold it, do not dream
of buying it back" Considering that
this statement is made when sugar trust

parent that those most familiar with the
real facts of the case do not consider that
the trust occupies an advantageous posi-

we don't like to think that other peo-

Should your best friend possess a

that you must call attention to it, do
SO in the incest manner possible.
You might mention the fault as be
