Brainerd. Mimi, Oct. 14.-President
McKinley's train passed through this
city at $3.50 yesterday afternoon. A
large crowd had assembled at the de-
pot, school children to the number of
several hundred in the front ranks.
President Mckinley and Secretaries
Wilson and Hitchcock spoke briefly
The president said, in part:
Our government emanates from the
people, all power comes from the peo-
pie and all public office must bear the
commission of the people as admins
traitors of their affairs. Back of the
government to which have referred
is the home, which is the ideal govern
ment of all the family bound together
by ties of common interest and affec-
ton, the American home, the school
house, for the education of American
boys and girls in the duties of citizen
ship. And from this home, which lies
at the foundation of our public insti-
buttons, do governments draw their vir-
tues and integrity. The education that
comes from the home touches all our
lives and stays with us as long as we
live. There is not a man anywhere in
our country that, remembering the af-
fectionate counsels of his mother. has
not been helped in resisting wrong and
adhering to right.
1T is that American home where love
is found and virtues preside that is
the hope of our great republic and after
that are the schools of the country.
They educate men for citizenship and
craftsmanship. and this country is safe
as long as we preserve honor and in
tegrity of home and continue public
education in nation and state. It's from
the homes and schools that the brave
boys went out from Minnesota in the
civil war and again in the Spanish war
responding with an alacrity unprece-
dented to the call of the country to
fight its battles and uphold its honor.
Let me say just one other thing:
Wherever our flag goes there goes our
education and our civilization. Ire
mendous applause followed the speaker.
