told why the club members believed the Senator
has we'll earned the exalted honor Of being
Chief Executive of the United States. The
speaker referred to Mr.. Hanna as the Hercules
or the Republican party. He said:
If Mr.. Mckinley had been defeated Senator
Hanna would have been held responsible The
victory was remarkable one. although not unex-
pected. and the credit lay with the man who is
entitled to his reward
The reception accorded the committee by SEN
ator Hanna most cordial In replying to
his visitors he laid stress upon his appreciation
or the honor conferred upon him, and said:
! believe IN my heart that I have only done my
0uty TO the country-to my people. seek no pub

appreciate the feelings expressed by my neighbors
ana my friends. 1t cannot be the crowning act OF
my life to sit in the Presidential chair. am
growing old, and expect to retire after my Sena-
torial term expires. Your kindness and considera-
ton IN what you deem TO be the proper course
deeply touches me. but my candidacy for the Presi
dency is absolutely OF the question and Is not
even to he thought of.

WE have apparently heard the last
Of any agitation or pretense of hostil-
ity to trusts from the republican party.
During the campaign it was an impos-
sibility to tell whether the republican
spellblnders were condemn ing or apol-
ogiZing for them. Occasionally one
would come out flat In declaration
for their protection. Since election
papers which year ago we're laborlng
hard to prove the republican party was
deadly hostile to them are now becom-
ing apologize and intimating that the
trusts are not bad things but are rather
responsible for our prosperity" Char.
les II, Flint, in the course OF an adj
dress before the Outlook club at Mont
Clair, N. j., referred to trusts as fol-
lows This new consolidation has
come to stay Let no young man think
otherwise. That fact was settled IN
our recent presidential election, The
trust Is here for good and under the
new system that it brings in business,
increased intelligence and menta!
acumen are demanded of the business
men. 1t may therefore be that u col
legiate education, with the mental
training it involves, will in the future
be Of greater Importance than it was
the past,to the business man. In
measure tins has perhaps been already
shown Under the new conditions
the average son of toll will have about
as much chance to secure the college
education Of which Flint speaks as the
Sulu slave has under Mckinley'S treaty
for purchasing his freedom.
