His Policy.

President Roosevelt very promptly
gave the public to understand his posi-
tion in regard to the policy of his able
predecessor when he made the frank
announcement: ut shall be my aim to
continue absolutely and without vari-
ance the policy of President Mckinley
for the peace and prosperity and honor
of the United States"
At cabinet meeting, Wednesday, Mr..
Roosevelt expressed the hope and ap-
preciation that every member would
serve throughout his term for, he said,
he rendered the appointment as if he
mad Just been elected to the Presidency
and was forming an original cabinet.
The discussion turned upon the policy
of the administration, and Mr.. Roose-
welt announced the speech of the late
President at the Buffalo Pan.American
exposition the day previous to the
tragic shooting, as outlining the policies
to be followed by the administration.
These are welcome words to the
American people. President Roosevelt,
untried in the great office of President,
is not novice in public affairs The
governorship of New York is a position
that affords excellent preparatory ex-
perience for the presidency.
The Somerset reporter., 1901-09-19
Death of William Mckinley.

The worst happened in the case of
President Mckinley. Anarchy has press
ed to our lips its bitterest and most
deadly draught. We can hardly realize
the death of this great and good man, so
soon after hope was high for his recovery.
1t is indeed sad instance of what one
misguided wretch can do to bring sorrow
to millions of hearts by taking the life Of
the man filling the highest office in the
world, with conspicuous fidelity, to the
acceptance of so great a proportion of
the citizens of this whole country and
the admiration of people of other lands.
The shot that caused the death of
William Mckinley was aimed at the
ruler rather than the man. Government
is what the assassin attempted to muir
der. Ansrchsm consists in hatred to
government in any form and its votares
are just as ready to assassinate the freely
chosen President of country like our
own as the HEREDITARY and absolute
monarch of Europe, Asia or Africa.
Personal virtue, popularity or the pur-
suance of humane, enlightened and
beneficial public policy has no effect to
safeguard the life of chief executive.
