All Friday and Friday night So.ooo'-
900 of Ameri cans stood in thought ana

President. A simple people. devoid OF
the arts which in other lends are used
to decorate the emotions. they knew
only how to sorrow in silence and hope
that the impending blow would be
spared.
In his daily life the President OF the
United States is mercy its first citi"
zen-a plain man in plain clothes. ac.
cessible to other plain men in plain
clothes. BY virtue of his Office he Is
only the foremost among his equals.
and as such he meets his fellow citi-
zens without claiming or expecting
from them the studied Difference or os-
tentatious affection which is SO sedu-
lously displayed in the capitals OF
other lands.
Yet for days, while this man of tho
people lay stricken by the assassin.

This document binds Its members to-

destruction of the existing social order.
and continues:
"As in former times NO privileged
class ever relinquished Its tyranny.
no more can we take 1t for granted
that the capitalists OF the present day
will forego their privileges and their
authority without compulsion. It is.
therefore, self-evident that the fight O;
the proletarian against the upper and
middle classes must be of a violent
character and that mere wage con-
fiicts can never lead to the goal.

Souls can not be estimated in snek-

does seem to be an unwelcome sisnif-
cance In the fact that. rs some one has
estimated last year, the sum Of 50 .300.-
900 was expended in Greater New
York for the current expenses Of Pro-
Hsstant churches. while the increase In
membership was only 5.273. Yet the
fault, continues the Evangelist. OF

Death Caused by Heart Trouble.
The President heart gave trouble
from the beginning but its er-atic ac-
ton was at first thought to be due to
the shock OF the wound, but when the
would had begun to progress favorabiy
the heart gave more trouble and anxi-
ETY. than ever. Its action became feeble
and finally gave out altogether.
The Presidents death was due to
heart exhaustion, but some of the
physicians do not believe there was
organic heart trouble. The theory of
at least one of the physicians is that
the original shock of the first bullet
over the heart had much to do with
the trouble which caused death.
