ing effect:
President Mckinley was a man sent
from Goa iOi n great purpose. God

more men of that KIND.
President Mckinley was an epoch.
maker. Under his leadership the
United States made a new departure
from its national stand by which the
Nation conferred upon "A new and
broader existence, assuming solemn
responsibilities Of stupcndous meas.
ure.
The regard of President Mckinley
for the people was one Of mis- most re-.
characteristics. He came
from the common people and aimed
always to be In touch with them. He
was of the people and for the people
all the tine. He loved the people
and trusted them. President Mckin.
ley liked TO meet men socially. to uN.
tend the hand to them in friendly
greeting, to enter with them into their
joys and hopes and fears. and he stud.
led to amelorate the condition OF the
tUiling masses.
In social life the lamcnted President
was pure and unspottpd. A lover ul
home and domestic nic, the affection
he showed at all seasons for his mott
er and wife was among his brightest
traits of great manhood.
Mr.. Mckinley was true patriot who
loved country better than self.
The secret of such a life-the secret
OF every true life-what Is it? God
given capacity, a fixed purpose. self
mastery and. underlying all these. tn,
principles Of that Master of men who
came into the world to reveal to us
the fatherhood of God and the broth

sung, the audience taking part.
Remarks Of Governor Dole.
In our s1rrow for the. loss Of presl

think especially OF what he has douc

Mckinley nad great interest In

Consul here during the earlier stages
and the correspondence between tbs
Two brothers must have been of such
nature to have increased his in
terest IN the resources and character
OF the people Of Hawaii. This interest
was further extended by the fact tina,
after ceasing to be American Consul

came the Hawaiian Consul in San
Francisco. And all the time that Nj
Mckinley was in Congress, the peopie
Of Hawaii felt that he was then
friend and would always help In legis

iar AS II was consistent with his duties
TO his own country.
When he became President of the
United States, he carried this interc Il
with him and the question OF close;
union with America was taken IN
and he was already prepared to con

! think that no one who has thought
OF President Mckinley and who has
had an opportunity to read the Official

States and this Territory has failed "a

consideration for the welfare of this
