His Career From It's
Humble Beginning In
a Small Town to the
! Presidency Of
the United
States.

Long and honorable was the
public career of William McKin-
ley. It extended from the time
when, as a mere STRIPPING, he held
sway in a log cabin country school
to the tragic moment when, as
Dhief executive of the nation, he
was felled by the assassin's bullet.
During all that time his record
suffered neither blot nor blemish.
He was tested as soldier, as a
lawyer, as a politician, as states
man, as the head of the nation.
In each case he stood the test.
In private life he began by be-
ing manly boy, dutiful and ODE
dent son. He continued as a
faithful and loving husband, one
whose example has had its good eff
feet on the national character.
His life was typically American,
the life of an American of. the best
type. And through it all he was
q patriot. Above personal ambi-
ton were ever in his mind his
country and his country's good.

Win somebody rise and explain, If pos
sble, why the United States laws are so
lenient towards bank embeZzlers? The
cashier of a national bank may steal and
go on stealing, deliberately and continu-
ously from the funds entrusted to his
care; he may make false entries on every
page of the books of the institution; he
may commit perjury times without num-
Der in certifying to the financial condi-
ton of the bank-and when he is finally
caught his punishment cannot exceed
ten years in the house of correction.
Why should not the punishment for en-

crime is as great, to say the least.
