ANOTHER FALSE ALARM
The Department Had An Undvailing

The fire department had another run
this morning which served to show, by
contrast, what an excellent thing the
Gamewell Alarm system will be when
it Is in working order.
An alarm was turned in by telephone
at IL 80 O'Clock from q house on Mis-
souri, avenue, but the instructions were
not sufficiently definite, and the boys
circled around the block, only to find
at last that the fire was in the rear OF
1O2 Missouri avenue, a house owned by
J. b. Lynch. A small pile of coal was
on fire.

THE MESSAGE.

There is something inspiring in the
thought that last night and this morp-
ing millions of people have had for
their chief interest the message of the
president of the United States to con-
gress. Through the medium of the
daily press the message of many thou
sand words was instantly communicate
ted to the people in every city and
town of the United States. Every man
has read at least part OF it. and every
man has his opinion and Is ready to
express it. sometimes q disposition
becomes manifest among certain
class of people toibelittle the office OF
the chief executive. It is averred that
the prestige attaching to this posi-
tion in the days when the republic
was young has waned, and that with
the growth of our territory aud popu-
lstion there is less dependence upon
the president for guidance. Such
view is false. Americans are not less
Independent than they used to be,
and there are q great mary more kinds
of independence than ever before.
But the presidential Office has lost
none of it's dignity. Rather 1t has
gained as the popular vote has In
creased. And upon the opening of
congress the whole ration waits to
hear what the president has to say.
His MESSAGES one of the very few doc
uments that are read by all the peo-
pie and that tend to crystalize the popu-
lar thought.
President Mckinley ia an ideal pres
ident in one respecs-he recognizes
his status as an executive officer, and
does not endeavor to- usurp the rights
and privileges of the legislative or jul
dicial branch. He is clear spoken in
recounting events and forceful in max
ing recommendations, but he contin-
ually acknowledges the power of con-
Press and congress alone to make laws.
and the province of the judiciary to
interpret them. The president ts
charged with the execution of the laws
to the best of his ability. No president
has ever been more scrupulous in this
respect than has Mr.. Mckinley. His
treatment of the Philippine question
is a good example of this. Further ref
erence will be made to the presidents
recommendations.
1t is a source of qualification to every
advocate of q sound and honest fpan
DIAL system that President Mckinley
gave the position of greatest promin-
ence to the financial question. To this
m after also he devoted more space
than to any other. President McKin-
ley and his party are in perfect accord
upon this as upon all other great ma
tional policies. Men of whatever be-
lief on other subjects, who believe in
honest money, can stand by the presi-
dent on this matter, firm in the knowl-
edge that he will do everything in his
