GALL QUIET ALONG THE LINE.

Not the quiet of desolation. despair
or death, but the quiet of peace, hap
piness and prosperity; the fruit, under
the blessing of God, of wars happily
ended, government preserved and a
people united in bonds of fellowship
and fraternity.
"No more shall the war cry sever,
Or the winding rivers be red;
They Danish our anger forever,
When they laurel the graves of our
dead. -
Let many hands bring blossoms sweet,
TO brave men lying low
Let grateful hearts, to soldiers dead,
Their love and honor show.
Well love the flag they loved so we'll,
The dear old banner bright;
Well love the land for which they fell
With soul, and strength. and might.

Continued from First Page.
pregnable bulwarks of truth, liberty
and religion-and on this sacred
Memorial Day, each year, when the
mysteries and beauty of flowers are
to be associated with the graves of
our heroic dead, the reverence for their
devotion and sacrifices should be as
deep and abiding as their work was
noble and commanding for all the
future.
To fittingly remember those who
stood in the circle of death, on I'M
numbered battlefields for our nation,
and to emulate the full teachings of
the Son of Man. in every day life, are
the true glory and sublime of every
lover Of our country.
Memorial Day should be held as a
sacred Memory Day for the dead-and
it should be as fixed as the National
Sabbath, SO that all may more and
more commemorate the sacrifices of
those gone before, and beside the
graves of dear ones, resolve to live
nobler, and help "bear each other
burdens.
Freedoms battle is not wholly or
mainly one of blood; its truest glories
are of peace, and the. right. It's i'm
mutable basis is the spirit of the
loving Christ who went about doing
good to all mankind y
AS we stand beside the graves of
comrades on Memorial Day, let us re-
member in what fire and what a
heat they wrought for country and
freedom-and resolve to be better citi-
zens, better Christians, and thus
honor their immortal services.
Then let us stretch our hands in
darkness,
And call our loved ones DER and

Some day their arms shall close about
| us,
And the old voices speak once more. -

Justice Edward W. Hatch, of the
Appellate Division of the New York
Supreme Court, has rendered de-
cision setting aside the verdicts of
six cents, damages awarded to Charles
B. Morris, prominent grain and
commission merchant, of New York
City, against the Metropolitan Street
Railway Co., for the death of his son,
Leslie B. Morris. The boy was 16
years old and attended school.
The decision is of interest in New
Jersey because of the decision render
ed two years ago by Supreme Court
Justice Gummere of this State, who
decided that for child's life, under
the existing laws of New Jersey, only
damages to the extent of about a
dollar can be recovered.
The New York and New Jersey
laws are different in many respects.

Coz. R0oSe.Jelf'S Career.

Gov. Roosevelt was born in New
York city, Oct. 81, 1858, of Dutch and
Scotch-Irish ancestry. His father was
Theodore Roosevelt, after whom the
governor was named, and his mother,
whose given name was Martha, was
the daughter of James and Martha
Bulloch of Georgia. Young Roosevelt
was primarily educated at home under
private teachers, after which he en-
tered Harvard, graduating in 1880.
Those qualities Of aggressiveness
which have marked his more recent
years of public life were present with
him in college and he was a conspicu-
GUS figure among his fellows.
It was an interesting period in the
history of the party and the nation,
and young Roosevelt entered upon the
political field with eagerness and en-

McKi1ley'S biography.

William Mckinley twice refused
the nomination for president previous
to the time when on the first ballot at
the Republican National convention
held in st. Louis in 1896 he was finally
nominated and accepted. His first re-
fusal was at the convention of 1888,
when he supported Mr.. Sherman, to
whom he was pledged, forbidding the
use of his name at a time when his
formal assent or negative acquiescence
was all that was necessary to secure
his own nomination. At the ensuing
convention of 1892 he received 49,
votes for the nomination, his name
not having been presented, as 1t was
we'll known he was an ardent support
er of Harrison and would Immediately
withdraw his name should it have
been proposed. Being the permanent
chairman of the convention, he was
greatly embarrassed by the efforts OF
his supporters to make him the presl-
dental candidate, and, leaving the
chair on the announcement Of the re-
suit of the first ballot, made a motion
to make the nomination of Mr.. Harrl-
son unanimous. His motion was car
ried.
On April Is, 1890, Mckinley intro
duced into the House the general tar
if measure which has since been
known as the mckinley BILL For
fonr months the measure had been un-
der consideration, and every interest
in the country, including manufacture
ers, laborers, merchants, farmers, i'm
porters, agents, free traders, and pro-
tectionists, had been freely heard, the
minority having been given as good an
opportunity to present their views as
had the majority. His speech on May
7 in support of the measure sustained
his reputation as an orator and dis
passionate advocate, and seldom has
such hearty applause been accorded
any leader as greeted him upon the
conclusion of his address.
Mckinleys home life has been that
of the representative American, and
almost ideal. He married on January
%, Miss Ida Saxton, granddaughter Of
John Saxton, for sixty years editor OF
the Ohio Repository, still published at
Canton. Two girls Christine Ida and
Kate, were born to Mr.. and Mrs. Nc
Kinley, both of them dying at early
ages.
Iowa state bystander. [volume] (Des Moines, Iowa) 1894-1916, 1900-06-29

James Mckinley, the presidents an
cestor, landed in this country about
l743, and settled later in Chanceford
Township, York county, Pa, where
David Mckinley, great-grandfather of
the president was born in May, 1755.
The records of the Pension Bureau
show that David Mckinley was SOL
der in the revolution and participated
In the capture of Paulus Hook and the
engagements of Amboy and Chester
Hill. He died in $780, in Ohio, at the
age of eighty-five. A son, James Nc
Kinley, moved to Columbiana county,
Ohio, in 1909. At that time William,
his son, born in Pine Township, Mer-
Ger county, Pa, was two years old.
James Mckinley was an iron manu-
William followed the same vocation.
When William was twenty-five years
old he married Nancy Allison of Can
ton, o., the couple having nine child
rem, of whom William Jr., the presi-
dent, was the seventh. William Nc
Kinley, ST., died in November, 1892,
having lived to witness the rise of his
son from a school teacher through
posts of national prominence to be
governor of Ohio.
The president was born at Niles,
Trumbull county, o., on January 49,,
1S43. He attended the public schools
in that town until he was nine years
old, at which time his father moved
to Poland, Mahoning county, O., where
the future president entered Union
Seminary, pursuing his studies in that
institution until he was seventeen
years old. He is said to have excelled
in mathematics and languages, and to
have bested all his fellow students in
debating the public questions of the
day.
In 1860 he was sent to Allegheny COL
lege, Meadville, Pa, but gave up his
course after a few months on account
of poor health. After a period of rest
he became a teacher in the public
schools of the Kerr district near Po-
land, having joined the Methodist
Episcopal church in Poland. In the
spring of 1861 he was clerk in the
postoffice at Poland, which position he
gave up to enlist at Columbus, on
June II of that year, in Company Z
Of the Twenty-third Ohio Volunteer
Infantry,
