President Mckinley Is the Fifth Pres
 ident to Succumb.

President Mckinley IS the t1ILH HfeS-
 ident to Succumb.
 President Mckinley is the fifth president to die in the chair of Wash ington and the third by the hand of an assassin.
 President Harrison died April 4, 1S41, and was succeeded by Tyler, thereby becoming our first accidental president.
 During the Fourth of July ce1ebra- ton of 1850 President Taylor had in- judiciOusly eaten heartily of some fruit and paid no attention to a sub sequent illness. Soon his condition was serious and on the 9th he died. Willard Fillmore succeeded him in the office of president.
 Great was the joy in the north in the spring of 1865 over the fall of Richmond and the surrender of Lee. Just four years had the fighting lasted and peace was welcomed with the widest enthusiasm. only to be damp ened by the tragic death of the presi- dent. On the night of Good Friday. April IA. 1865. in Ford's theater, Wash inGton. John Wilkes Booth, the actor. entered the box where the president was seated. shot him, jumped to the stage shouting. '.Sic semper tyrannis:
  his foot in q flag that draped the presi- dents box. but managed to elude his pursuers and by the aid of a confed- crate escaped into Virginia, where he was found. and refusing to surrender, was shot
 On July 2. 1881. while President Garfield was in the waiting room of the Baltimore and Potomac depot in Washington. he was shot from behind by Charles J. Guiteau. The president fell and was removed 10 the White House. where he fingered many weeks. The ball had shattered some of the bones of the spine. but it could not be located Later he was removed to ElberOn. N- J.. where he died Sep tember 10. and was buried in Cleye- land. where a noble monument has been reared over his tomb. Guiteau. who proved to be a degenerate, was tried. convicted and executed.
 And now the nation is called upon again to mourn the loss of its chief executive. William Mckinley. while mingling with the people who honored him, was shot down by the hand of an assassin. in the temple of music at the Buffalo exposition. Friday afternoon, September 6, and died at 2:15 Septem- Der IA.

 Has Made President.

The Man Whom the Assassin's Bullet
 Has Made President.
 Theodore Roosevelt, our twenty sixth president, has been most Ie- lnarkabIe figure in American politics. Always an enthusiast, his political po- sitiOns up to the time of his election as governor of New York have been small. His recommendations for office holding have always been his rugged honesty. sincerity and his known in- tereSt in any work he might under take.
 ImpetuOus to a degreee, he has iT- sisted always upon being the central figure in any undertaking With love for the excitement attending political contests. he entered upon this career with as much spirit as he did in the chase through the western country in search of big game.
 ROOsevelfS personal friendships are lasting, although politically he has not the confidence of the leaders of his party A stanch party man, he is not a believer in machine" politics, al- though every office which he had held was the gift of q machine"
 With tireless energy he has always carried to a successful conclusion Lis undertakings.

THE FUTURE OF THE SOUTH.

Broad Farm Lands

depends Upon the Development of lire
Broad Farm Lands.
The future of the south is a question
which has perplexed capitalists and
thinkers since the reconstruction pc
ROO. There is no Disgusting the fact
mat the material growth of the south
Is not keeping up with the north's
rapid development. The south is es-
sentially agricultural and in the iu-
dicious cultivation of her soil lies all
her hopes. One of the greatest him
ORANGES in this line is the continual
exodus of the energetic young white
man to the north or west They are
opnged to struggle hard for an educa-
'lon, and when they leave school in
Earlably choose to enter the more en-
lerprlslng fields of labor tan drag out
a slow. weary life in their own south
land. Farming has never been con-
quoted in the south on scientific prin-
clpIes. Hitherto the farm lands have
been worked on the same plan as
mlnes-everything dug out and carted
on and nothing put back. Under such
treatment the farms in many of the
southern states have Leen exhausted.
the soil has grown thinner and thin
ner. and it is found necessary to put
more acres under cultivation in order
TO maintain the usual yield. This plan
is carried to such extremes that more
acres are put under the pillow than can
De worked and soon reach a condition
where they have to be abandoned. And
then new fields are cleared at a heavy
expense. Thus the process goes on
and on without enrichng the farmer,
nut wearing out and impoverishing his
land. 1t is safe to assume that not
more than 10 per cent of the land in
the south is cleared and less than 5
per cent is under cultivation. The
prairies of the west offer no such in
ducements as this to the young south
erner, and the quicker he realizes it
the better. Should the northern
farmer begin to colonize in the south
and, clearing broad timber lands, ere
ate a fine farming community, then
the southern young man will see the
folly of leaving home in search of lu-
crative employment, farming will be-
come fashionable. and as a result the
south will become prosperous, popu-
lous and as powerful as the north
Pennsylvania Grit.

1t is confidently expected that before
long all of the forestry work of the
government will be placed in the
hands of single Forestry bureau. At
the present time matters pertaining to
forestry are divided between the de-
partment of the Interior and the de-
partment Of Agriculture. A division
Of the department of Agriculture has
charge of certain technical work in
regard to the forests, such as the MAX
ing of working plans for economical
numbering, and the land Office of the
Interior department has an allowance
Of 100000 annually for administering
the Forest reserves. The department
Of Agriculture and of the Interior are
agreed that it would be much better to
refer all of the forest work, both adj
ministrative and technical, to single
overwhelmingly Post.

Generally it is sensation or a kick
that comes from Guam on the rare &C.
CaSions when the little island is heard
from. The latest. however, is a word
of peace and plenty. everybody happy
and prosperous and no poverty or dis
content on the island. May it be ever
thus. Governor Schroeder, who is more
practical if less picturesque than his
predecessor. says the two most impor-
tant needs of Guam are good roads
and few Yankee school teachers. The
latter want should not be hard to sup
ply, judging from the ease with which
the army of teachers for the Philip
pines was organized, and with Yankee
teachers there, the better roads will
