MORE THAN GREAT.
Element in McKinley's Life Which
Made Him More Than Ruler.


Washington. Sept Secretary Gage
has issued the following announcement
or the death of President Mckinley:
It has been thought proper to make
sad but official announcement in this is
sue of Treasury Decisions of the tragic
death Of William Mckinley, the 25th
president OF the United States and to
give some expression OF the tribute
which his character and deeds compel
1t needed not the shadow of death to
make the figure Of the late president
loom large in the estimate of mankind.
The republic he loved, he lived to
broaden and unity az no previous presi-
dent had done. Under his prudent and
far-seeing craftsmanship it took exalt-
ed place in the community of nations
From his place as private citizen on
through many and increasing honors to
his final post as ruler of his people, he
remained true to the highest ideals.
BY the people of the nation at large
and By the world he was known and
viii live in grateful annals, as a gentle
man OF noble heart an affectionate
husband. a sturdy friend and a faithful
and illustriCus president.
In a long public life ever open to his
fellows nothing was ever found, even
by Incorporate partisan zeal. that
would cast a shade upon his character
The kind and unselfish attributes
which his colleagues knew and loved
the public felt. and now men of every
faith and following join IN reverent ac-
claim OF these distinctive views and
abilities that lift him among the truly
great Of all ages
The passing Of presidents and kings
usually evokes tributes Of praise, but in
William AIcKinIey's life there was an
element that made him more than ruler
and which in the hour of his death is
above the tribute and speech and tears
The ordinary tributes paid to the
memory of the great when they pass
from earth utterly fail to satisfy the
mind ia an attempted application OF
them to our dead president.
