Of r great people. going from place to
place for the purpose of stimulating
in the public a loftler patriotism and
drawing useful lessons for the nations
present and prospective greatness.
Mckinley travelled on his tours
more miles than all his predecessors
combined. and was seen by more peo-
pie. No partisanship was displayed in
any Of these tours, and with that fine
tact for which he was distinguished
above all of his predecessors he adap-
ted his addresses TO the environment
In which they were made, and. while
not compromising with his conscience
said nothing that would give offense.
Three long tours We're made by
President Mckinley, in addition to
scores OF minor ones The first of his
long tours was from Washington 10 Chi
cago, thence to Minnesota and the Da
kotas. and thence back to Washing

Louis. The second was that remark

third was only partially completed. It

ROOSEVELT THE IDEAL
MAN AND PRESIDENT

The following is an extract from a
roe Markley of the First Congrogq-
tional church. Denver, last Sunday
evening.
The coming of President Roosevelt
as the ciD's guest furnished Rev. j.
Monroe Markley with a theme last
night at the First Congregational
church. and the strenuous lie OF the
president suggested the text; What
soever thy hand findeth to do. do it
with thy might" Lessons in Chris
tian manhood were drawn from the
life of the chief Executive In course
OF his remarks Mr. Markley paid the
president the following tribute:
There are few men in public life
so universally respected as Theodore
| Roosevelt There is that In his clean
cut manhood, his rugged honesty. his
indomltable courage. something in his

specting and respect compelling char
acter that calls forth the admiration
OF every one who Is not a straddling
dunky or fawning sycophant. Men
differ from him. and honestly in poll
tics. but no man doubts his patriotism,
and however they differ from his pol
icy. they respect him because they be
blieve that Theodore Roosevelt is no
trimmer TO the popular breeze, no
toady to a majority. no driveling camp
follower to the worlds forward march.
no snivellng political coward whose
convictions need editing" but that he
is a politician with a conscience and
every inch a man.
Especially do the people of the great
West respect him. Born in the East
