Chase's-PoIite Vaudeville.

Otis Harlan sustained his reputation as
the headline feature at Chase's yesterday
and the comedian who has scored so
many successes in the past in the Hoytian
farces convulsed two of the largest audi
ences that have ever been in the Grand
since it came under the present manage
ment. Harlan has what he calls "a heart
to heart talk with the girls" 1t is a
collection of advice to young women in
love and while it is immoderately funny
to the persons to whom it is especially
addressed. it is so full of good material
that everyone enjoys it. Two songs as
sist in filling out the time allotted to the
act, which is one of the best monologue
efforts the Chase stage has ever present

down with them. caresses them, and fin
ally puts them through "a course of
jumps. 1t is IA good animal act. and to
those who were not overcome by timidity
it proved really enjoyable.
While not rated among the headliners,
the Quaker City quartette comes about
as near to being a real feature of the
bill as any Of the eight acts. This quar-
tette provides a special setting for their
sketch and does not rely wholly upon
vocalization for their success, but prove
to be clever instrument..lists as well.
Their vocal work is the best of its class,
while the turn, as a whole, is vastly SUI
perior to the great majority of similar
affairs. Clayton White and Marie Stuart
have very amusing sketch entitled
"Dickey, which provokes any amount of
laughter. Structurally. the little comedy
does not present anything that has not
been seen time and again On the vaude-
vile stage, but the material is so adroit-
ly handled by both Mr.. White and Miss
Stuart and their assistant Miss Belle
d Arcy, that it is a splendid entertain
ment. The audiences yesterday appeared
to be particularly partial to the sketch

It is Peculiar to Itself.
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1901-09-20

The day before the murderer's bullet
struck him down, the president of the
United States made an address to the
American people, which marked the
summit of his craftsmanship. 1t was
more than an address to the American
people. It was a manifesto to all men.
That most notable sentence of all, ''The
period Of exclusiveness is past" will
subtly shape the policies Of our nation
and of the world, in this new century
pregnant with the worlds destiny.
Had Mckinley made deliberate choice
he could not have died at a moment
more fitting. 1t was the psychologist
moment of his career to impress him.
self upon the nations as great world
force. The Buffalo speech was deliv-
cred in the Parliament of Man. for the
Federation of the World.
We may regret that the unkind God
permitted this crime. Viewed in its
larger light, must we not say with the
lips silent now forever, "It is Gods
way?"
1t is not too early to give to William
Mckinley his place among our presi-
dents and among world statesmen. The
tremendousness of the moment enlarges
the powers Of visions, OF judgement.
He will take his place among the mar
tyr presidents, that glorious trinity of
Abraham Lincoln, James Garfield
William Mckinley He will take his
place among the powerful presidents,
that great trinity of George Washing
ton, Abraham Lincoln, William Nc
Kinley. AS Washington stood alone
in the crisis of the nations birth, as
Lincoln stood alone in the crises of the
nations threatened death, so Mckinley
stood alone in the crisis of the nation ns
growth, q mi]der term, but a period
fraught with equal terror. As a man,
the people of the world pay him tribute
for charm of personality, a nobility
of manhood, courtesy with acquaint-
ances, lealty toward friends, a tend
erness with loved ones, for a sweetness
and serenity of spirit amid the irrita.
tions of public cureer, under the
criticism of searchlight scrutiny. AS
ruler the governments of the world
do him honor for his catholic spirit, his
democratic sympathies, for clear vision.
keen insight and firm grasp in the
larger problems of a world that is a
new world.
1t is left for the people of the United
States to love him. This they are doing
with greater love and more universal
than ever fell to the lot of president
And it is left for them, the harder task,
of faith that good shall somehow be
the final goal of i'll, and that the blood
of the martyrs shall be for covenant

Assassination.
Horror.
Hope
Death. ... o..
These four words include the begin
ming and the ending of tragedy which
has stunned civilization.
The American people have turned to
face their sorrow in dumb agony,
speechless. From black Friday to
black Friday they had listened. tre-
mulously, at the door of Fate. Not all
the time have they been conscious that
the sun of hope could go down before
go dark midnight as that which separ-
ated the eighth day of their supense
from the fatal ninth. They have been
intensely nervous, nervously excited,
saying bitter things, and bitterly de-
served things. Fearing the thunder
bolt, they have let the lightning Of their
wrath vent itself against the enemies OF
the republic and the enemy of the
most lovable of men. They have spent
their strength. Today their is but one
thought one word.
Death!
1t is not sacrilege to say that greater
love hath no man than this, that he lay
down his life for his friends, nay, not
only for his friends, but for his enemies
for the seventy-six million Of souls TO
whom his life means freedom, and to
the millions in the islands OF the sea,
even to the millions Of struggling peo-
pie everywhere.
1t is not sacrilege because it is again
the Christ-drama which has been enact :
ed. Man has died that man may live.
The week has been spent in Garden
of Gethsemane. The last words of this
master Of loving people-did they not
paraphrase the words in the Garden,
two thousand years ago, Nevertheless,
not as I will, but as thou wilt?''-'1t is
Gods way. His will be done" In the
first agony of his cruciixion, were not
the words the same in spirit as those in
the last agony of the Great Crucitixion

It is not the mere man Mckinley who
lay dead in the city by the lake, wait

Master with pierced heart and pierced

on the road to Emmaus, into whose side

shall thrust its hands and declare: Il

which shall become transfgured on the

that this is the ''blood Of new testa-
