SENATOR HANNA
Continued from First Page.

Symons and Commander Winslow in
full uniform.
President pro tenn Frye addressed
the senate, saying:
Senators, you have solemnly and loving
~ dedicated this day to an observance of
q proper funeral ceremony over Marcus A.
Hanna, late distinguished member of
this body and all business will be sus-
pended to that end.
We will unite in prayer with the chap
lain Of the national house of representa-
tives.
Chaplain Couden, who occupied
seat by the side Of Chaplain Hale of
the senate, Immediately in front of
the presiding officer, then offered UP
his invocation. At his conclusion
Chaplain Hale delivered the funeral
Grafton. DR.. Hale said:
DR.. Hale's Address.
Those who knew him best, loved him
most. And those who knew him little
loved him much.
You speak of no one else as you go
and come in these days, and this is the
impression which Is made say on a man
like me-almost stranger to Senator
Hanna personally. I knew him very little,
yet I have felt his power and charm
There are a hundred men who are hearing
me-better fitted than am to describe
him or to account his power.
Here is the difference between men who
are seeing themselves with every throb
of the brain and men who are eager to
| serve mankind. The first are remem-
bered only as Napoleon is remembered,
| or any other calamity. The others are re-
| membered wherever a true man is known
and loved. Our friend lived with all his
| might. He found out what was to be
| done and he did it.
| Persons who make it their profession
| to ascribe the worst conceivable motives
| for every human action could not make
Mr. Hanna out when he appeared in what
| Is called public life. They made the mis-
| take which such men always make of
| thinking that the mind, with all it's man
euvers and gymnastics and memories
and imagination, is greater and stronger
| than the soul of man when it works in
| sincerity and truth, in faith and hope and
love. They had to imagine, therefore, a
cunning intrigue, a man who accounted
Tor his success as you might account for
| a boys success in a game Of marbles. But
| that analysis of character did not prove
| true.
You might as well compare the stilted
adjectives and substantives of school
| boys theme against the passionate song
| Of Burns or of Tennyson. Here was nc
| contrlyer, no schemer, no mere inventor
| least Of all was here any copiest Here
was a wfole-souled child Of God who be-
| lleVed III success and who knew how tC
succeed by using the infinite powers. He
knew that faith and hope and love serve
| If you would mine iro nor ,smelt it OF
draw it into bars and he was not afraid
to trust in hope and love if the business il
| hand were the governing of states, if ''he
did the thing that he was set'to do
| His Theory of Administration.
'Their rulers shall be of themselves ant
| their governors shall proceed from the
midst of them"
Had any, man asked MI. Hanna wlla
| was his theory of administration I thinl
he would have said it was this story O
the prophet.
| Eight years ago an accomplished frient
of mine said to one of the speakers in tn
| canvass: ''Who is this Cleveland man
this Mr.. Hanna whom the newspapers ar
describing?"
The answer stays by me. I wonder i
the man himself remembers it. Hanna i
a man who means to apply to% politics tn
methods of a business man of honor.
| And SO when men tell us what is true
that this man more tina many other coult
mediate between the men who provide tn
tools and the men who handle them; stha
this man had the confidence of the work
man and of the man whose father wa.
a workman, or the man, who, like him
self, had made nature his star and Tulet
things with what is godly power, you un
derstand what worked the miracle.
These three abide: Faith, hope. an,
love.
