porter of Mr. Mckinley, but in its issue
of Dec. 8 it says: 1--WE had hoped that
the presidents message would outline
the policy which he desired to see the
Republican party pursue for the next
two years, during which 1t will nave
control of both the executive and legfs-
lative departments of the government
In this respect the message is a disap-
pointment. The president apparently
does not consider himself the leader Of
his party, nor regard it as his function
to outline for it q policy, as is the
function Of the prime minister in Eng
land. His message is largely historical
The trouble with Mr. Mckinley is that
he never has any decided opinion of his
OWn-until he finds that it is acceptable
to the public. He is a follower, not a
leader.
