Mckinley Day.

! The Mckinley National Mem.
orial Association is engaged in
securing contributions for the
erection of a suitable and appro-
pirate memorial to the late Presi-
dent at his home in Canton, Ohio.
All parts of our country should
be represented by contributions.
Perhaps there is no state in the
| union where President Mckinley
was more universally esteemed
than in our own. That each
individual in North Dakota may
have All opportunity to contri-
butte to this memorial fund, and
thus express, in a measure his
love for President Mckinley, I
would suggest that Wednesday,
January 29th, 1902, the birthday
of the late President, be desig-
mated as mckinley Day." and
would earnestly request that
some portion of that day be set
aside byall the schools in thestate
for special exercise, appropriate
to the occasion, and that each
pupil be given an opportunity to
contribute his or her mite to this
fund. I would also suggest that
on Sunday the Goth day of Janu-
ary the churches pay appropri.
ate tribute to the memory of
President Mckinley, and those
who wish be given a chance to
help in this work of love.
