History has been made rapidly since
we. the Republicans of South Dakota,
last assembled in state convention. Our
beloved president and trusted friend,
William Mckinley upon whom we
looked as a type of all that was noble
in public and private life, has been TAX
en- from us. although his memory lives
to inspire those in authority to noble
deeds and lofty craftsmanship. HIS
death, at the hands of an assassin was
the elimination and expiring effort or a
school whose teachings find willing list
eners only during times Of depression
and discomfort. Universal prosperity
has driven into hiding the opponents or
Of all such doctrines. That President
Mckinley should have fallen a Vlctin
to conditions from which he was SO
largely instrumental in delivering MS
country serves to emphasize ms
achievements and intensity his martyr
dom.
We rejoice that the chief magistracy
of this republic, the highest civil once
in the gift of any people, fell into sooo
keeping when Theodore Roosevelt as
sumed the presidency. When the ma
tional convention at Ph1ladelpnla
forced him to accept the nomination TOT
-.A~ hnftnr
vice president. it builded even oel,.i
than it knew. We cordially and hearti-
ly endorse his able and patriotic admin
istration. As a fearless leader ne coln-
nands universal respect, and we hear.-
lily commend his efforts, and the enor.S
of his cubordinates, to suppress 1nJurl-
Gus combinations and trusts by Vlgor-
GUS and impartial administrator
Of the laws. Should exlstlhs
statutes prove to be insufficient, we Ia
yor, and pledge ourselves to, the enact
ment Of such additional legislation poth
state and national, as may be necessa-
ry.
We favor the settlement by arbltra-
ton Of disputes between capital n IA
Dor, a policy so vigorously Represented
by the National Civic Federation, anu
regret the u~nwillingress OF employers =
submit to arbitration the differences
which have led to the existing strike III
the coal regions of Pennsylvania. Inc
protection OF labor in its rights Is one
of the highest duties of legislators anu
a duty which the Republican party mas
never failed, and never will fail, to per-
form to the extent Of its ability.
On the Goth of the present month the
world witnessed an act that further
marked this republic as a peculiar PEG,
pie. On that day the beautiful is!ahh

American valor had rescued from 1our
centuries OF despotism and plumber was
formally transferred to the keeping ol
Its W people. who are believed to pos
sess the requisites for self-government
and the preservation Of liberty, tne
United States only resesrving the rlen'

ment and entanglements. In this, as IN
all other matters, the Republican party
mas fulfilled its pledges to the letter.
and intelligently as well.
We rejoice that the pacifcation OF the
