.'Nowhere but in the United States and Eng.

on his way around the world for the third time.
I'm France have neard men hum on the streets,
and in Germany and Russia | have even heard
them sing but not even when they are intOXi-

is odd that we should have this habit. II Is

and there some smiled lightly at him, but
he attracted undue attrltion, whereas, had
he been in Paris in st Petersburg, they
would probably have locked him up for a luna

Theodore Roosevelt has been sworr
in as president of the United States
to fill the unexpired term occasioneo
by the assassination of President Me
Kinley. The new president is the
youngest to occupy that high position
that we have had, but that does not
in anv way detract from his ability to
fill the Office with honor to himself
and to the whole country. Mr.. Roose'
velt has already won his way into the
hearts of the American people by his
manly straightforward record while
he has been in public life and his
utterances and actions of late give
reason for US to believe that he will
make an able and efficient president for
the whole people. 1t is a sad duty for
him to take up-the carrying on Of
the good work so ably done by his
predecessor. Upon taking the oath
Mr.. Roosevelt said:
''In this hour of need and terrible
national bereavement: l wish to state
that it shall be my aim to continue
absolutely without variance the policy
of President Mckinley for the peace,
prosperity and honor of our beloved
country"
The great far reaching significance
of this pledge to continue the policy
of the dead president, announced a,
the verv threshold of the new govern.
mental regime profoundly impressed
his hearers and President Roosevelt
first act after taking the oath was ir
line with its redemption.
His first act was to ask the mem
bers of the cabinet to retain theil
portfolios in order to aid him to con
duct the government on the lines lait
down by the president whose policy
he had declared he would uphold.
The new president shows his goot
sense and courage of his conviction.
right from the start. He is nothing
daunted by the threats of anarchists
and the fear of the assassin's bulle
has not entered his soul. The bust
ness interests of the country are il
safe keeping and Mr.. Roosevelt ha
already showed himself to be shrewt
statesman when he announces that h,
will carry out the policy of hi
illustrious predecessors.

Tho death OF President Mckinley,
coming - Il did after tho many favor.
able bulletins issued % to HE con-
dition and hopes Tor recovery, IL =
severe blow to this country and his
demise IL deeply regretted bv all
classes. The martyred president was
one Of the greatest presidents this
country has had and he had won q
warm place In the heart of his people
such as no living man has done in
many years. Tho bloodthirsty
anarchists have removed grand
character from earth but they cannot
remove him from the mind and heart
ofthe American people and the name of
Mckinley will live on and on and the
glorious record made by this noble
man who fell by an assassin's bullet
serving his country will shine bright
~ r
and glorious on the pages Of our
national history. The lustre of his
glorious work will never be dimmed
by time, and his memory and noble
deeds and self sacrificing spirit will
be coupled with that OF the great
Lincoln. Never has nation had
cause to mourn over the loss of one
of it's citizens than it has in the loss
of President Mckinley. WORDS are
too feeble to express the sympathy of
this nation. A christian gentleman, a
brilliant statesman. a warm friend, a
devoted husband, a brave soldier and
a true citizen, such can be said of our
late president. May an ever merciful
God watch over and restore to health
the heart-broken lady who has been
made to suffer such agony at the
hands of red-handed assassin: The
prayers Of this as we'll as every other
nation go out to Mrs. Mckinley in
this hour of her deep affection.
