TRIBUTE TOLATE PRESIDENT
PLAN TO HONOR AND PERPETU ATE
HIS MEMORY,
Secretary Davidson of American Uni-
tfon With That Institution.

Secretary w. L. Davidson of the Ameri-
can University proposes a plan to honor
and perpetuate the memory of the late
President Mckinley by dedicating to his
name the building known as the Ohio Col
lege of Government-an addition to the uni
versity, which has just been begun.
According to program arranged some
time ago President Mckinley was to have
officiated at the laying of the corner stone
Of this building, December II.
Speaking on this subject in an interview
in the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune, Sec
retary Davidson says:
mo name in American history is more
fit or worthy to stand in permanent as
ISOLATION with the highest teaching on
these theories of international scope than
that Of William Mckinley. The American
University was the first on the field TO
lay plans to perpetuate the memory of
this great and good man. Why should
not this noble marble building, standing
here at the heart Of the nation, costing
$25O,000 be the Mckinley Memorial Ohio
College of Government? Every football in
its halls for years to come would echo the
name and fame of the great and honored
man In whose memory the building was
erected.
More enduring than arch or monu-
ment, however costly and beautiful, would
be this Mckinley Memorial Ohio College
of Government, from which great men
be something more than a mere object of
interest to tourists.
Interest I'm Higher Education,
"One Of the few executives of the Ameri-
can nation to show decided interest IN
higher education was President McKin-
ley. Most Of them have departed from
the capital city without leaving much trace
OF their presence there. save a monument
or statue. Thomas Jefferson was a no.
bic exception. He desired to live on i'm
the lives and hearts of men, and on his
tombstone wished II permanently recorded
that he was the founder OF the University
of Virginia.
Let this beautiful and useful memorial
be built by the loyal and loving friends
OF the martyred President I'm Ohio and
elsewhere, on the hilltop overlooking
toric administration. 1t will be bulwark
to Professionalism and Americanism through
all the years to come. This would be an
imperishable memorial, and one whose pur-
pose his wisdom and high philanthropy
would sanction, could he but speak. Al
ready the patriotic citizens of Ohio have
contributed nearly $4,000 toward this build
ing. The foundation is commenced If
generous gifts were to pour in from all
quarters, the building could soon be COM
pleted. Let the arch and the monument rise
aught to hinder their progress, but let this
stately and significant memorial which was
projected in the lifetime Of the Christian
President, be quickly completed, that it
may begin Its ministry Of service to man.

No Doubt Possible.
From the Philadelphia Press.


Neither the present administration nor
the republican majority in Congress will
permit itself to be placed in false posi-
ton as to the exclusion OF Chinese labor
ers from this country. This question is no
longer debatable. No one expects to see
the act excluding the Chinese lapse on its
expiration next May. 1t will be continued.
No one doubts this. Congress is as certain
to pass and the President to approve an
act continuing the exclusion OF Chinese Ia
Dor as the date is to arrive.
When the first act was passed excluding
Chinese labor, over twenty years ago, this
policy was still debatable. When In 1882
exclusion for ten years was enacted 1t was
still open to question and controversy
whether the objection to the immigration
of Chinese labor would not disappear. NO
doubt exists today. The United States
acted alone then, though the Dutch, Span
ish and English colonial establishments In
east Asia had for 200 years found either
the regulation or complete exclusion OF
Chinese immigration necessary.
Today the policy of exclusion is almost
universal, and stringent regulation is every
where admitted to be necessary.
Our own courts have fully established the
constitutionality of the principle OF Chi
nese exclusion and the fun legality OF the
treasury regulations enforcing 1t In prac-
tice. Public opinion Is settled on this is
Universal experience confirms It, 1t is no
longer debatable. No one longer dseams of
altering It. The policy has proved com

While it is absolutely false that the Chi

are almost exclusively Chinese. for the
Chinese cooks and male chambermaids have

foolish reports of evasion. In 1890 there

Nothing more could be asked. Exclusion
will continue. Congress will repeat next
winter the decision of the past.

Closing Argument Will be

Tomorrow

out of respect for the memory of the
late President Mckinley, the Superior

he did not expect an acquittal for his
client. but as there was great provoca-
ton for the assault. he asked the jury
to return a verdict Of guilty of common

circumstances leading up to the shoot

years, Lincoln and Garfield had to bat
tie yet he was acquainted with toll
and learned early the lessons of thrift
and self-denial. He was ambitious,
too; it is an American trait. and he
set himself to reach the goal by the
suest route, industry When his coun-
try needed her young men. he tender
ed his services not by buying a COM

Of civil life. Inch by inch, he won HIS

Of one thing we are certain; men will

however his policies may develop, in
the main they must inure to the mp

Out OF the gloom of this occasion
one truth is apparent. that there is a
solidarity OF the American people
which augurs well for a glorious fu-

onstrate that the animosites OF the
days of civil war and reconstruction
had passed, so by the death OF this
great President we learn that the

tons, differences vanish, and shoulder

as a bulwark against any storm which

estimate his place in history, but we
are content to accept the verdict of flu
ture generations. For us, who have
lived in the same period. his achieve
ments are ample and his life, pure
and heroic. His stature as a man we
know, and we await the verdict Of
human justice. Reverently we will
lay him TO rest, and then take up the
burden he has laid down.
