was able to accomplish. Mr.. Lincoln
began the work of reconciliation and
Grant died with the words on his lips,
s'Let There be Peace" but it was left
to Mckinley to complete the work
which Lincoln had begun and which
Grant had passed along.
"Nearcr Ny God To Thee" The
cross of martydom lifted Mckinley
nearer 10 his God. That cross has
raised the American people nearer to
God. The cross of Calvary lifted The
Christ to the right hand of the Father
and through that cross he opened the
kingdom Of heaven to all the earth.
Every tragedy, however awful and
heartbreaking, is oyerruled by him
who never left the world of his crea-
tive wisdom, power and love. The
last words Of the President were SUI
| bline1y true: cit is Gods w@y-Ii1s
will, not ours, be done" This solemn
and sorrowfu1 pause in every city and
town and village and hamlet Of this
great republic makes us realize not
only our greater dependence upon GOD
but the essential and unassailable
majesty and Integrity Of the Ameri-
can nation.
The flash of the assassin's weapon
made us read as never before the truth
that "duty is inseparably linked with
destinv.' Our duty is to get rid as
speedily and legally and eHectually as
possible of the wretched creatures who
have violated all the laws of the Amer
lean hospitality. These red-handed
anarchists are men without country
and men without God. Their flag is
the black flag of the pirate-deaths
head and cross bones. Their weapons
are poison, the dagger, the pis. oil, the
| bomb
They are not only the assassins of
men, but of law and order and right
full government, We have no place
for them in free America. We must
hunt them down, paddock their lips, re-
fuse them the mails, and send them
out of the country to the tune of the
''Rogues' March"
| The enemies of the common Civili-
cation they must be passed on to the
Wills "a SAo LII anu ASGLA IA
by bitter experience the tender mercies
| of the Barbarians, which they repre-
/ sent.
The mentally, morally and political
ly deceased specimens of their class
must be forever barred from entering
OUR shores. Henceforth, we must give
notice to the world that if any of them
should slip in instead of aTording
them a paradise and third heaven we
shall proffer them a purgatory and
speedy graduation into the hottest
place they have ever known.
The President is dead, long live the
President. But the anarchists bullet
| pierced the body only of our illustrous
president, his soul goes marching on
in the spirit and life of Theodore
| Roosevelt.
| Roosevelt is masterful, resourceful,
| full of the aggressiveness of splen-
did superabounding emotional nature
and vet capab1 of holding himself in
check for the promotion of the. public
| veal. He has already shown that he
has grasped the inner and pregnant
meaning of those three inscriptions, as
Emerson tells us, written on the gates
of Busyrane. On the first gate was
inscribed, "Be Bo1d:" on the second
gate, "Be Bold, Be Bold and Evermore
Be Bold" But on the third gate were
the words ''Re Not Too Bold" He
will both lead and follow. He has
learned to command by obeying.
The American policy of expansion,
reciprocity and good will to mankind,
which are the shining characteristics
of McKinley's administration will be
exemplified by Roosevelt under unique
and striking conditions. He stands
for no faction, no Cramping lines Of IL
liberal partyism will con6ne him, he
will consecrate his rich and varied
gifts to the welfare of the whole
American people. Business men now
see his real nature and fully trust him.
His hand will not send the financial
thermometer flying wildly up and
down. The prayers of all the churches
fervent1y ascend to heaven for their
Youngest, and sure 10 be oy the bless
ing of providence, one of the very
strongest of American presidents. He
is loyal to his own religious conviC-
tons and yet is broad in his sympa-
thies and to the universal church of
Christ and the devout aspirations of
his fellow men.
, Thanks be to the giver of all good
for such an one. Though pressed pre-
mature1y in the van 10 receive the
! mante1 of his assembled chief, he meets
at once SO easily and satisfactorily the
| tremendous responsibilities devo1ved
upon him."
