William Mckinley, soldier, statesman
and president, will go down in history
as an American Of the highest tyre. In
personality and achievement his ca
recr embodics those qualities and tri-
umphs that constitute the choicest
fruits of Americanism. OF humble
birth and reared among a simple folk,
he arose steadily by his own efforts
to the proudcst position open to men.

his manhood remained unsullied by

quiet, dienifed and modest, true as
steel to his friends unhesitating a the
call of duty, as ready to face hostile
sentincn as hostile bullets, unswerv-

coming opposition, cOnCiliatory and
yet unyieldinc on vital principles, with
private life as Spotless as self-sacrifc-
ing, q disposition unspOiled by success
and an ambition that puts the public
veal before all else, a husband whose
untiring devotion is fit subject for an
epic ana with a heart full of sympathy
for the tOilinG masses, William Nc.
Kinley Offers a shining example of
American character and reveals the
noble traits that endeared him to what
that Othe" great commoner, Lincoln,
called the plain people.
As a child he felt the ekpinch of pow
orty, and learned the u 2 full lesson of
frugality. AS a boy he marched to the
war as Il private and came back with
a majors shoulder straps. As strug-
Cling country lawyer he championed
the cause Of the working masses. The
duties of prosecuting attorney of AN
important Ohio COUNT gave him an in
sight into the woes and sufferings of
| humanity. In the halls of legislation
and in the executive chairs Of state and
nation he served his fellow citizens
with patriotic singleness Of purpose
and rose steadily to the crowning hon
Crs of the world.

In New York, phladclphia and Chicago
there are wards for the care of alCo-

hospitals. In Washington, cases of
drunkenness, if semi-conscious or un-
conscious, as well as cases of deIirium

to- see the benefit to the masses from

Many of the events of the last four

to that end and even in his latest

Splendid War Record.

The presidents conduct of the war
with Spain was a splendid achieve
ment. 1t shed new lustre on our arms
and our diplomacy. II carried the
country to a glorious victory unmarried
by a defeat, and unsullied by an un-
worthy act. 1t raised the United
states in the estimation of the world,
removed the last barrier between
North and South and opened the way
to new triumphs in the walks of
peace.
Following the armed struggle in cuba
and on high seas and west came the
embarrassing problems arising from
the Boxer troubles in China. Here
again President Mckinley took a
stand on high ground and gave the
world a fine example of American
sincerity and fairness. He insisted
that China should not be torn to
pieces by the contending allies, and
that her markets should remain open
to all the world on equal terms.
Urges Mercy to China.
He urged policy of mercy when
other nations demanded blood for re-
venge and impossible millions of money
for reimbursement The American
policy had an important influence in
modifying the treatment of the ancient
middle kingdom, and Americans can
read the record with pride unmiXad
with shame.
In his address at Buffalo the day
before he was shot this great this
typical American gave another etrik-
ing evidence of his unCeasng thought
and effort for the welfare of his people.
In that speech he pointed the way To
new triumphs in the arts of peace by

and the adoption of reciprocity trea
ties In speech breathing good will
to all men. and bristlins with the
epigrammatic phrases for which he is
noted he voiced rational policy

THREATENS THE
TOPEKA SALOONS

Topeka, Kans., Feb. Mrs. Carrie
Nation yesterday sent personal letter
to all the saloonkecpers in Topeka,
warning them to stop their business.
The letter was addressed to "'rhe Joint
Keepers of Topeka: My Dear He'll

Mrs. Nation suggested in the lette-
that the joint keepers appoint a place
of meeting with her. in which the stu
alton could be carefully canvassed. and
n decision concerning the future dispo-
sition of the joints arrived at. She In
timated that forcible measures would
soon begin, If they did not heed her ad-
vice and close up.
The joint keepers are on the qui
vive, expecting visit from Mrs. Ma
ton and her band of wreckers. Mrs.
Nation to-day announced that her
band, organized Tuesday, had reached
a membership of eighty-nine and that
she now had all the assistance neces-
sary to wipe out Tcpeka's 12O saloons.
