few words of praise for the martyred
president. He spoke in part as fol-
From the Common People

n
From the Common People.
eve have heard of great deal said
already about VIM. Mckinley, but
shall speak few words about his boy
hood. VIM. Mckinley, like all
OF our martyred presidents came from
the common people. l remember well
the birthplace of Garfield. He and
were born about nine miles apart. His
father died early and left him with
his mother and brothers to struggle
for livelihood. He grew up by the
hardest struggle and it made the man.
You all know the life of Lincoln and
his poverty and struggles. VIM. Nc
Kinley was rather better situated in
his boyhood. His parents were not
wealthy yet were comfortable and he
had the advantages of good schooling.
But he was reared to labor with hands
and brain; it was necessary for him
to gain his own livelihood, and that is
what makes men and women.
A Leader Among Men.
at made VIM. Mckinley strong
man physically and strong man men
tally and when the war broke out it
was natural for him to so and fight for
his country. He went into the army
with a musket on his shoulder ands
came out a major of his regiment.
When he returned from the war he en-
tered the profession OF law. He was
successful and with his magnetic
character. his suayity and his sterling
worth it was not long before he re-
ceived recognition and was sent to
represent his district in congress. He
soon forged to the front rank in con-
gress. and then when the great ques-
ton of tariff came up, he carried
forward that measure, the efficiency
of which was seen in the prosperity
it brought He was always a leader
among men and he led Alright.
Let Law Govern.
81 think the most striking thing
in the life of Mr.. Mckinley came at
the time of his death, as he fell he
said: Don't harm that man He
meant don't disgrace the laws of the
United States by mob law, but let the
peaceful forms OF law govern. In my
mind the words of VIM. Mckinley as
he fell have sort of kinship, far re-
moved, to the words of the Savior
when he said: Forgive them for they
know not what they do The Sa-
vior was applying to the court OF hea-
ven. Mckinley was applying to his
fellow men to abide by the laws OF
| the country"
