Calls For Suppression of Anarchists.
This tragedy which fills our hearts
with grief has a lesson for the living,
and calls upon law makers and law
enforcers for all that legislation and
courts can do, suppression and pun
ishment of those who teach or prae-
tice the dreadful tenets of this code
of lawlessness and ruin"
Referring to the early life of Nc
Kinley, he said
From the school he heard the call
of his country to her sons, and at
once stepped into the ranks as the de-
fender of the Union. His associates
in arms, officers of his regiment, in
cluded such lawyers as Hay and Mat.
thews. and in their companionship,
while valiant soldier. he determined
to adopt the legal profession as his
calling, should he survive the perils
OF war"

war, Judge Day said:
He determined to do all within the
range of his official duties to better
the condition of the Cuban people, to
relieve the strain upon our country,

became the easy prey of malicious
persons bent upon her destruction.

be afforded to further plans of so
called autonomy under Spanish rule"

Judge Day. 1T was his rule not only
to refrain from innicting pain, but to
scatter Joy wherever be could. He
would step aside from a march of re.
treat to assure a weeping mother who
loved the union that defeat was but
for the day and would be turned into
victory. Steadfast in his friendship,
he would not swerve from loyalty, for
the glittering prize of the presidency.
Enduring the burdens which came be-
fore during and after the war, no
word Of Impotence ever escaped him,
and he met the people with a smile
of welcome and word of encourage
ment. He would turn from the most
important affairs Of state to give
flower 10 a little child or to say
kindly word to some visitor for whom
he could DO no more
Resentment. He Had Nome.
Resentment, he had none He be-
lieved life was too short to give any
