President McKinley's letter Of acceptance
Is a long and exhaustive campaign paper
It deserves to be studied rather than read
and to that end should be placed in the
hands Of every voter. The President could
doubtless have made the letter shorter but
he preferred to show in the clearest man
tacks made on his administration have no
basis except the imagination or malice of

Mr.. McKinleys letter of acceptance is far

come from the republican side in this cam
paign. II Is dignified; 1t is dull only where
recitals Of statistics and official documents
made du,lness unavoidable; it is plausible
throughout and at times convincing; it is as
adrott In it's omissions as in its presenta-
tions of difficult points that could not be
overlooked.

An Unusual Document.
From the New York Sun Und).

Excepting a very few phrases directly ap-
plicable to the campaign, 1t might serve
without alteration as President Mckinley's
regular annual message to Congress and to
the country. AS such, it would take high
rank among the ablest and most satisfac-
tory state papers that have dignified the
official annals of this government at the
most eventful periods of our national his
tory.
The unusual quality of the entire letter.
with its temporarily worded and calmly
reasoned statement of results and purposes,
will. we think impress every reader. The
tone of the letter of acceptance marks the
Unreasonable distance between the respon-
sible servant of the people, who has justly
earned their confidence, and the political
adventurer boxing the compass of sophis-
teal and passionate rhetoric in his frantic
bid for office. The contrast we get here is
not merely one of policies or political ideas
or points of view regarding undisputed
facts, but Of individual character and per-
sonal trustworthiness.

Murderers of Our Soldiers.
The American people will not make the
murderers Of our soldiers the agents of the
| republic to convey the blessings Of liberty
and order to the Philippines. They will not
make them the builders of the new COM
monwealth. Such course would be a be-
trayal Of our sacred obligations to the
peaceful Filipinos and would place at the
mercy Of dangerous adventures the lives
and property Of the natives and foreigners.
1t would make possible and easy the COM
mission of such atrocities as were secretly
planned, to be executed on the I'D Of Feb
ruary, 1885, In the city Of Manila, when
| only the vigilance of our army prevented
the attempt, to assassinate our soldiers and
all foreigners and pillage and destroy the
city and its surroundings.
In short the proposition Of those opposed
to us is to continue all the obligations in
the Philippines which now rest upon the
government, only changing the relation
from principal, which now exists, to that OF
surety. Our responsibility is to remain,
| but our power is to be diminished Our
obligation is to be no less. but our title Is
to be surrendered to another power which
Is without experience or training or the
ability to maintain stable government at
home and absolutely helpless to perform its
international obligations with the rest of
the world. r

To this we are opposed. We should not

| In the language OF our platform, Our au-

| IS to establish our authority in every part

No government can so certainly preserve

| In the other we could not protect even the

J,hn Ruslsin was one OF group of tai
ented writer's who gave a peculiar character
to the Victorian age Of English literature.
In fact. he was the last OF that brilliant
coterie to which Carlyle. Thackeray. Dick
ems. Tennyson, and Darwin belonged. He
outlived his contemporaries in genius. as
in many respects he outshone them in his
writings.
John Rushn was born in London Feb
ruary s. 1919. and lacked less than a
month of being eighty-One years Of age.
He val the son OF a wealthy wine mer-
chant who went 10 London from Ediu-
burgh. In boyhood he was instructed by
hired tutors and was prepared for the
university at home. He entered oxford
rs a gentleman cOmmoner OF Christ
Church He had no sooner entered the
university than he began TO exhibit those
qualities Of mind which made him one of
the boldest thinkers and most versatile
writer's OF the nineteenth century. In 1888,
wL,n only twenty years old. Mr.. Ruskin
won the Newdigate prize for English
poetry, with some creditable verses on
"Salsette and Elephantee." He took his de-
gree in 1912.
Before he finished his university studies
Mr. RuslIin became deeply interested in
the art OF painting. He showed some apti-
tude for work with the brush and took
lessons under Copley. Fielding. and Hard
ing. But Mr. Ruskin was never content to
be an ordinary student Of any science or
art. He was a born investigator. and for
him to study, painting was TO delve to the
basic principles OF the art, and to find out
for himself the reason of things without
obedience TO any obiter dicta.
As result OF his Investigations the first
volume OF his great work on Modern
Painters" appeared in one year after he
received his degree at oxford. This volume
literally startled the world of art. His
ideas were not only vigorously and firmly
expressed. but they were revolutionary.
He attacked the very foundations of the
art of painting and showed how schools OF
painters had fiOurished while adhering TO
false ideals. His criticisms of the merits
OF certain painters amounted TO a sensa-
ton. and in placing Turner before the old
masters as a superior in landscape PAINT
ing, he overturned idols and smashed
theories as effectually in the domain OF
art as Carlyle did in philosophy and ethics.
Both took delight In piercing the wind
bags" Of established opinion.
Mr.. Ruskin almost Immediately became
a leader OF the Pre- Raphaelite schism in
art, and warmly espoused that doctrine.
His great literary ability made him an eff
fectiye teacher of that school of art, and
Mr.. Ruskin was the master mind which
liberated the real modern painters from the
traditions and myths OF the Middle Ages.
Succeeding volumes OF Modern Painters"
not only set the lines OF the new art" as

a series OF discussions upon the relations
existing between art and ethics.

were constantly employed in lecturing.

sisted of four essays on work, war, traffic
and the future of England. Sesame and
Lilies" were lectures on good literature
The Queen Of the Air was a study of the
Greek myths Of cloud and storm. Ethics
Of the Dust were scientific lectures on
specialization. Time and T.ie' were
helpful letters to a workingman. And
'Fors Clavigera" was a sort of periodical
running through several years, containing
ninety-six letters to the woFkinen OF Great
Britain. in which the principles OF a new
political economy were laid down.
True political economy. he taught, does
not concern itself merely with the study
OF the origin aud workings of material
wealth. but 1t is an enquiry into ethical
and spiritual truth as well. In HI view
that was a one-sided political economy
which consisted solely of a study Of eX-
changeable values. Mr.. Ruskin main
tanned that not only mans wages. but
his relations with his employees and SER
wants. and with his fellowman in general
were legitimate divisions of the science OF
political economy. In this way Mr.. Rdskin
blazed the early stages Of the pathway to
socialism

in law and extensive power for thOsa in au-
tkarity With all his sympathy for the
wageearner. and in all his lampooning
of the selfish employer. he never dreamed
of setting aside the established order OF
things to the point of redistribution OF
From 1868 to 1879 Mr. Ruskin was State
professor of art at oxford. and in 1871 he
gave So. 900 for the endowment Of Il master
OF drawing there. He was reelected in
1888, but resigned a year later. He was
made a d. c. L. Of oxford and Ii. d.
of Cambridge
In later years Mr. Ruskin lived for the
most part at Brentwood, on COmston
Lake. in Lake county. He devoted a great
part of his originally large fortune to
founding the St George Guild which was
intended as seIf-supporting agricultural
He also was identified with
efforts to establish industrial homes in
various places
His influence in creating new interest
in nature. in developing new ideals in art
was profound. and he accomplished much

to old truths in the fields of
political economy and ethics.
