Inc fQlloNlnE is a comprehensive sum
mary OF President Roosevelt's message to
congress-:
The president begins his first annual
communication with an official announce
ment of the death of the late President
Mckinley, and a eulogy of his former
chief in which he says:
Tt is not too much to say that at the
time of President McKinley's death he
was the most widely-loved man in all the
United States, while we have never had
any public man of his position who has
been SO wholly free from the bitter ami
mosities incident to public life. His po-
litical opponents were the first to bear
to the broad kindness of nature, the
sweetness and gentleness of character
which so endeared him to his close asSo-
In public life he united the tender affec-
tions and home virtues which are all
important in the makeup of national
war for the union. he also shone as an
exampIe to all our people because OF his
conduct in the most sacred and intimate
personal hatred of him., for he never act
cd with aught but consideration for the
private life. The defenders of those muir
derouS criminals who seek to excuse their
cised tor political ends inveigh against
wealth and irresponsible power. But for
this assassination even his base apology
The shock, the grief Of the country, are
bitter IN the minds of all who saw the
dark days while the president yet hovered
was stilled in the kindly eyes. and the
breath went from the lips that even in
mortal agony uttered no words save of
forgiveness to his murderer. of love for
his friends and of unfaltering trust in the
will of the Most High. Such Il death
crownins the glory of such a life leaves
us with infinite sorrow, but with such
pride in what he had accomplished and IN
MS own personal character that we feel
the blow not as struck at him, but as
n great president who is dead, but
while we mourn we are lifted up by the
splend ID achievements of his life and the
grand Sheroism with which he met his

Anarchy is a crime against the whole
human race, and all mankind should band
against the anarchist. His crime should
be made an offense against the law Of
nations, like piracy and that form of man
stealing known as the slave trade, for it
is of far blacker infamy than either. It
should be so declared by treaties among
all civilized powers. Such treaties would
