Making SchOOlrOOm Patriots.

/ One sometimes wonders if the Amer
lean schoolmistress realizes her oD-
portunities for making good citizens
for her country. Too often she does
not, for she is frequently merely the
machine to carry out the plans and
put into execution the ideas of the
head of an institution in which she is
only one of many.
System is a great thing, but system
seldom develops individuality, and
school principals who are wise give
their teachers as much freedom from
routine as the success of school as
whole will permit.
Very often it is the incidentals in
life that have the greatest influence.
The curriculum, no matter how en-
tertaingly presented day after day,
will sometimes pull on the students
taste, and then quarter of an hour
taken to rest the young minds will
result in more and better work when
the lessons are renewed
The average child is not well enough
acquainted with the happenings of
the world in which he lives. News in
the abstract interests him very little,
but if he is told that the President,
Admiral Dewey or some one whose
name is familiar to him is doing such
and such thing he is at once inter
ested.
The teacher can, one by one, intro
duce her pupils to the different pub
lie characters of the day, showing the
school a picture of each man and tell
ing what he has done, what sort of a
boy he was, ETC., until the chief act
ors in the worlds drama are familiar
friends instead of mere names. Chill
dren should be allowed to form opin-
ions of public events, and when they
understand them they will be capa-
BILE of surprising the teacher by their
clear judgment.
No better way of making patriotic
citizens can be found than in this
daily study of contemporary events.
To be interested in public affairs one
must understand them, and it is re-
markable how few men and women
comprehend the contents of the news
papers sufficiently well to give an in
telligent opinion in regard to them.

Kinley in Congress became the par
ticular representative of an economic
policy of which events made domi-
mating issue. 1t is worthy OF note,
however, that after his hi9 hest am
bition had been realized by his cleo
ton to second term as President
Mr.. Mckinley advocated a policy of
commercial reciprocity which was ap-
parently far beyond the purpose of
the immediate managers of his party.
He was one of the shrewdest and
ablest of political leaders, and fore
saw better than his advisers what
course would command popular ap-
proval.
Among the American people the
supreme feeling of the hour touches
only the personality of the dead
President, and is nearly free from
political concern. He is mourned as
a good man, peculiarly affectionate
and considerate husband, who was
shot to death because he was the first
citizen, the Chief Magistrate, of the
Republic. A whole nation shares the
sorrow of the widow, whose loss is
irreparable.

The Dead President.

The pathetic circumstances of the
death of President Mckinley, the
simple manliness with which he faced
"the doom we dread" the infinite
cruelty and appalling injustice of his
assassination and the profound sym
pathy felt for his invalid wife, make
it difficult if not impossible to speak
of the career of the dead ruler with
the moderation of the careful his
torian. The critical spirit is dumb in
the presence of the dead who die for
the nation, as Mckinley has died. In
the hours of dire foreboding and of
physical pain, AS when he became
conscious of the inevitable end, he
was the patient, uncomDlaining and
brave man who meets the worst with
out bravado but also without fear,
and who accepts the decree of death
as the will of Heaven. AT no time in
his varied and successful career had
his character seemed so admirable as
in the last trying hours.
The careers of no public men bet
ter represent the possibilities of Amer
lean life than those of the three Pres
idents who have fallen at the hands
of assassins. All were poor boys, with
no other aids to ambition than their
own qualities of character. In his
amiable frailties as public man not
less than in his strongest attributes
mourn was representative Ameri-
can Born in Ohio where the streams
of transallegheny migration from
North and South met and commin-
gled and political agitation was cease
less, at time when the overshadow-
ing sectional question pressed for
final settlement, and having been ed
ucated chiefly in the public schools,
where all the influence was demo
cratic, it was natural and almost in
evitable that the first ambition of the
young man William Mckinley should
be political. He demonstrated the
depth and sincerity of his youthful
patriotism by enlisting as a private
soldier in the volun teer army for the
preservation of the Union. In that
service he revealed an amiability of
temperament which easily won the
votes of his fellows in favor of his
promotion and assured the popular
ity of his later years. He was a friend
ly man and he loved his fellow men.
At the time when as a young law
yer William Mckinley entered &C
lively into politics party lines were
strongly drawn. Not to be Repub-
lican was almost to be traitor in the
eyes of the leaders of "Ben" Wade's
type. 1t would have been peculiar if
young Mckinley had been less deyo-
ted to his party or less submissive to
its DEGREES. The spirit of that time
continued to influence his political
actions throughout his lifetime, and
it will account for the degree to which
the President was willing to recede
from his own opinion whenever it
was opposed by the aggressive lead
ers of his party. 1t was along party
lines and by Selling the party stand
ard and carrying it forward that Nc

For the benefit of the seventy-six
millions of people who have been SER
iously handicapped in discussing Mr..
Czolgosz by the impossibility of pro-
nouncing his name, it may be stated
that as near as a decent American
tongue can come to it, the pronunci-
alton is ''Sholgosch.n 1t is the unan-
imous opinion of the country that a
man with such name as that ought
to be deported ANYHOW.

= THE papers are now full of propo-
sitions to stamp out anarchists. The
best way to stamp out anarchists is
to avoid the conditions which pro-
duce them. Europe has been en-
gagged in stamping out anarchists for
more than 30 years-and yet in the
last three years an empress, king and
president of a republic fell by their
hands. In this country, where the
citizen is the sovereign, there should
be no room for this atrocious sect.
But the incursion of great mass of
voting slaves, unfamiliar with our in
situations, has caused the ignorant to
look upon our public servants as
kings and lords. There is more need
of wholesome education than repres-
sion.

PRESIDENT M'KINLfY DEAD.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE oNE.)


Those within reach were called by
telephone or messenger, and tele-
grams were rushed to those who had
left the city. The first of the mes
sages went out at $50 o'clock, and
within half an hour Milburn House
began to fill again. The serious con-
dition of the President and the gen.
eral call sent out gave rise to gen.
eral feeling of alarm that was never
again allayed. Desperate measures
were resorted to in order to stimulate
the heart, and the sinking spell was
over by 4 o'clock. 1t was decided to
continue the treatment, and the ply
sicians laid their greatest hope on
weathering the day. 1t was agreed
that if the wounded man could be
carried for two hours that his chances
would be very favorable, for the
wounds were healing splendidly.
HEART SPECIALISTS.
1t was decided to summon DR.. w.
W. Johnston, of Washington, and
DIR. E. j. Janeway, of New York,
heart specialists, and kilograms were
hurried out asking that they come at
once. Before dawn a dozen of the
relatives and friends of the President
arrived at Milburn House. They as
sembled in the drawing-r oom, where
they waited for tidings from the sick
room above them. The physicians
assured them that the President had
fighting chance for his life, and to
the hope that in the end victory
would be his they chung all day.
Hundreds of visitors came during the
morning, and if the police had not
kept the streets clear and barred en-
trance to Delaware avenue, there
would have been thousands. Senator
Hanna, close personal and political
friend of the President, hurried up
from Cleveland by special train.
Other friends arrived by regular
trains, and all through the day they
came in increasing numbers. Their
regret and sympathy were profound.
The day developed but little en-
couragement for them, however.
During the forenoon the President
made slight gain of strength and
held it well into the afternoon. His
physicians announced that they had
again given him nourishment, and it
was thought that possibly there was
a chance for further gain of strength.
1t was known, however, that he was
in very serious state, and every in
terest centered in the sick room in
Milburn house, where the struggle
was in progress. Suddenly at o'clock
in the afternoon there was a repeti-
ton of the heart attack and those in
the presence of the stricken man
knew that the end was at hand. This
knowledge soon spread to the street
and the waiting newspaper men bull
letined it to the world. Everyone
who came from the house was be-
sought for an expression as to the
state Of the President. Each sue
ceeding report was worse than its
predecessor, and the official bulletins
were absolutely without hope
Monday night the body of the Pres
ident was sent to Washington on a
special train. 1t laid in state in the
rotunda of the Capitol ON Tuesday
where it was viewed by thousands.
Tuesday night over the Pennsylvania
lines the body was conveyed to Can
ton, Ohio, where the funeral will take
place to-day at 2 o'clock.

Neither Bulls Nor Bears Had Much

The local speculative grain situation dur

the weather. as indicated by the numerous
reports received by mail, and wire. as ex-
isting in the Southwest and West. and which
were the leading Influences in shaping the
course pursued by prices of the different
grains. In other words, there has been
what is known as weather markets all OF
the past week. they being wholly under in
iuence Of weather conditions. being bullish-
~ inclined n moving up on reported dry
weather and drought conditions. and then
taking the opposite course. on advices OF
rains.
Prices. and especially those OF wheat, have

has been more or less OF a disappointment

Neither bulls nor the bears were able to

disappointment to- both these interests. ow-
Ing to It's uncertainty. Throughout the
week there have been days when this srain

nothing more than a scalptng business has
resulted.
Again It was a weather market pure and
simple, and as variable as that OF April,
crop and weather conditions being the lead
ing factors and chiefly responsible for the
many ups and downs Of prices which tool

bringing weakness. and which. when fol-
