Resolutions on Assassination Of Me-
kinley.
Newton, Sept. 24.-The report Of the
COMMITTEES appointed by the Iowa con-
ference to prepare resolutions on the
death Of our late president, and which
was adopted, is as follows:
Whereas, The wicked and cowardly
assault of an anarchist upon the chief
magistrate of the United States-Will-
lam McKinley-resulted in the death of
the president on the morning of Sept. Ii.
1901; therefore,
tho J1u-o CSn,,.
ference of the Methodist Episcopal
church in conference assembled at New
ton, this 10th day of September, 1901,
that we hereby express our sense of the
exalted patriotism, distinguished abil-
ity. wise craftsmanship. and high moral
and Christian character of President
Mckinley; ard our appreciation Of the
great less sustained alike by the church
and the state in his death.
That we express our intense abhor-
renee of the principles and actions of
the people who maintain and defend
the doctrines of anarchism, as having
led directly. to this great crime. and as
being constant menace to the peace,
order and we'll being of civil society
and government. 1t is our opinion that
such legislation should be had as will
make the public advocacy or publication
of such doctrines criminal.
That we belieye that the committal of
such acts of violence against the lives
or persons of the officers of the govern
ment of the United States, should be
made a crime against the people of the
United States. trlable before the courts
of the United States, and that against
their committal. or attempts to commit
them severe penalties should be pro-
yided.
That we hereby tender to the widow
and family of the deceased president
our profound sympathy in this hour of
trial and gloom, and the assurance that
we will pray that the same ambundant
grace which NE believe sustained the
martyred president in the extreme mo-
ments of his earthlJ being, may be CIV
en- them.
I, That weexpress our entire confidence
In the ability, PATRIOTISM ana courage OF
President Theodore Roosevelt; and We
,implore for him the protection Of his
person and life by the kind Providence
of God, and pray. that he may have wis
dom to guide him in the great con-
Germs of the nation now committed to
him.
That copies of these resolutions be
forwarded by the secretary to Mrs.
William Mckinley, President Roosevelt,
the United States senator from Iowa,
and to Hon. John F. Lacey, the con-
gresham from this district.
