Canton, Ohio Jan. 2S-President Roose-

tribute to the memory of the late Presi-
dent Mckinley. He was the principal or
ator at banquet given under the aus
pices of the Canton Republican league in
commemoration of the birthday Of Mr..
Mckinley
The banquet was held in the Grand
opera house, the seats being removed in
the pit and the house entirely refloored

tifully decorated with flags and flowers.

eral Luke e. Wright, vice governor Of the
Philippines: Surgeon General Rixey, Com

AS the president entered the banquet

cheered him heartily. The demonstration
the first Of the day-was a personal
tribute to the president which he acknowl-
edged with evident pleasure. In his ad-

president was forced to face questions
other than those at issue at the time of
his election. Within year the situation

about amicable settlement Of the Gu

peace could not be honorably entertained

as short and as decisive as possible. 1t

MR.. ROBERTS VIEWS
He Seemed to Think That LESSER

Washington, Jan. 2s.-The testimony
yesterday in the Lessler bribery investi-
cation made the situation interesting.
Mr.. Lessler denied the statement made
by Doblin and reiterated the facts as
originally made by him. He brought into
ltthe case the name of Mr.. Roberts, mem
Der of the house naval affairs commit
tee, by saying that Roberts had prepared
statement for Lessler to sign, exonerat-
ing the Holland Submarine Boat COM
pany from any attempt at bribery.
Mr.. Roberts admitted this and also that
he was an earnest advocate Of the sub
marine boat scheme ~

achieved with such epse. There followed
a harder task. AS a result of the war
we came into possession of Cuba. Porto
Is1co and TN philippines, In each island
the conditions were such that we had
to face problems entirely new to our
national experience. and, moreover, In
each island or group of islands the prob
lens differed radically from those pre-
sented in the other. In Porto Rico the
task was simple. The island could not
be independent It became in all essen
tails a part Of the union. It has been
given all the benefits of our economic
and financial system. Its inhabitants
have been given The highest individual
liberty, while yet their government has
been kept under the supervision of Off
cials SO we'll chosen that the island can
be appealed to rs affording a model for
all such experiments in the future; and
this result was mainly owing to the adj
mirable choice of instruments by Presi-
dent Mckinley when he selected the gov
erning officials. z
I'm Cuba where we were pledged to
give the island independence. the pledge
was kept not merely in letter but in spirit
1t would have been a betrayal of our duty
to have given Cuba independence out Of
hand. President Mckinley, with his usual
singularly sagacity in the choice OF agents,
selected in General Leonard Wood the
man Of all others best fit to bring the
island through it's uncertain period of
preparation for independence, and the re-
suit Of his wisdom was shown when last
May the island became in name and ir
fact a free republic. for it started with a
better equipment and under more favor
able conditions than had ever previously
been the case with any Spanish american
commonwealth. -. -s-a b.
FINALLY, in the Philippines, the problem
was one Of great complexity. There was
an insurrectionary party claiming to rep
resent the people Of the islands and put
ting forth their claim with a certain spe-
ciousness which deceived no small number
of excellent men here at home, and which
afforded to yet others a chance to arouse
a factious party spirit against the presi-
dent OF course, looking back, 1t is easy
to see that it would have been both alb
surd and wicked to abandon the Philip
pine archipelago and let the scores Of
different tribes-Christian Mohammedan
and pagan, in every stage of semi-c1vil1-
cation and Asiatic barbarism-turn the
islands into weller Of bloody savagery,
with the absolute certainty that some
strong power would have to step in and
take possession. But though now it is
easy enough to see that our duty was to
stay in the islands, to put down the in

surrection by force OF arms ara then ia
establish freedom giving civil government,
1t needed genuine craftsmanship to see
this and to act accordinsly at the time Of
the first revolt A weaker and less far
sighted man than President Mckinley
would have shrunk from a task very dif-
ficult in itself, and certain to furnish uc-
casion for attack and MISREPRESENTATION
no less than for honest misunderstanding.
But President Mckinley never flinched.
He refused to consider the thought Of
abandoning our duty in our new posses
sions. While sedulOusy endeayoring to
act with the utmost humanity toward the
insurrectionists, he never faltered in the
determination to put them down by force
of arms, alike for the sake OF our own
interest and honor, and for the sake of
the interest of the Islanders and partic-
ularly Of the great numbers Of friendly ma
tives, including those most highly civil
lied. for whom abandonment by us would
have meant ruin and death. Again, his
policy was most amply tindicated. Peace
has come to the islands, together with a
greater measure Of Individual liberty and
self government than6they have ever be-
fore known. All the tasks set us as a
result Of the war with Spain has SO far
been we'll and honorably accomplished
and as a result this nation stands higher

mo other president In our history has
seen high and honorable effort crowned
with more conspicuous personal success.
No other president entered upon his sec
ond term feeling such right to Ia profound
and peaceful satisfaction. Then, by a
stroke of horror, so strange in its fantas-
tic iniquity as to stand unique in the
black annals Of crime, he Was struck
down. The brave, strong, gentle heart
was stilled forever. and word VI as brought
to the woman who wept that she as to
walk thenceforth alone in the shadows.
The hideous infamy of the deed shocked
the nation to it's depths, for the man thus
struck at was in peculiar sense the
champion Of the plain people, iii a peculiar
sense the representative and the exponent
of those ideals which, If we live up to
them, will make, as they have largely
made. our country, a blessed refuge for
all who strive to do right and to live their
lives simply and we'll as light is given
them. The nation was stunned, and the
people rnourned with a sense Of bitter be-
reavement because they had lost man
whose heart beat for them as the heart
of Lincoln once had beaten. We did right
to mourn; for the loss was ours, not his.
He died in the golden fullness of his tri-
umph. He died victorious in that highest

life. For him the laurel; but woe for those
whom he left behind: woe to the nation
that lost him; and woe to. mankind that
there should exist creatures SO foul that
one among them should strike at SO noble
a life.
We are gathered together tonight to
recall his memory to pay our tribute OF
respect to the great chief and leader who
fell IN the harness, who was stricken
down while his eyes were bright with
the light that tells of triumph tasted
We can honor him best by the way we
show in actual deed that we have taken
to heart the lessons OF his life. We must
strive to achieve, each in the measure
that he can something of the qualities
which made President Mckinley leader
of men, mighty power for good-his
strength, his courage, his courtesy and
dignity, his sense Of justice, his ever
present kindness and regard for the
rights Of others
General Luke Wrlght's Speech
General Wright paid glowing tribute
to the life and character of President Nc
Kinley and said that brief discussion
OF the Philippines was eminently fitting,
for 1t was subject to which the dead
president gave his best thought and
which enlisted his warmest sympathy
General Wright reviewed the manner in
which President Mckinley dealt with the
problems arising out of the acquisition
of the islands and in putting down armed
opposition to American authority He
read from the Instructions sent to the
Philippines commission by the president
showing that from the beginning it was
the presidents first thought to restore
order with as little bloodshed as possible,
and then to give the Filipinos' civil gov
eminent upon American lines, in which
they should have as far as possible full
participation. ..
General Wright said the needs of the
Filipinos to-day are not an independent
government of their own; so much as a
wise and beneflcent- administration,
which, protecting them in all their nat
ural rights, will at the same time give
them an opportunity by experience to ac-
quire a knowledge of what self true gov
eminent really is. and it's value.
He reviewed the distress now prevail
ing In the islands by reason Of the raw
ages Of cholera among the people and
the loss Of draught animals Of disease.
He expressed the hope that congress
would shortly pass the bill now pending
appropriating 100000 to be used in al
leviating the distressful situation.
