~ENATOR MARCUS ALONZo
Oh HANNA. is in his grave. Let
~ us hope that "after LIES fitful
fever he sleeps we'll" He was
one Of the busiest of men and found
rest only In the grave. One does not
have to agree with Mr.. Hanna's polit-
ical ideas or commend Ills campaign
methods to consider him 2 great man,
for his death cannot sanctify either
his methods or his ideas. He was a
tremendous force in the politics Of our
time. But for him it is doubtful
whether William Mckinley would have
been nominated or If nominated elect
cd.
The most noteworthy feature Of SEN
ator Hanna's career IL that he cut
any figure at all in politics, especially
as q public speaker, when 1t is remems
bered that he took no hand in politics
and made no speech till nearly three
years ago. Till that time he had de-
voted his mighty energies to business.
That he became great political Lead
er all men know. That, while no ora
tor, he became an exceedingly strong
debater in the senate and On unusually
fetching speaker on the stump is as.
serted by all who heard him-which I
never did.
That he succeeded at all in the art
Of public speaking with such late
start is another confirmation of the
theory that the average American citi-
zen rises equal to any position In which
he finds himself placed. When the
civil war closed have no doubt there
were 10000 men in the Union ana Con-
federate armies carrying muskets on
their backs as private soldiers who
would have made tiptop brigadiers or
major generals if promoted on the In
slant.
It is q striking coincidence that Sen
]. ator Hanna and Governor Bushnell,
who came SO near wrestling the sena-
torship from him six years ago, there
By preventing his political career,
should have died within 4 month Of
each Understanding US once more
what shadows we are and what shad-
ows we pursue. Truly the path of
glory leads but to the grave.

The breath was not out Of Senator
Hanna's body before the buckeye Re.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
Striking Points Are Discussed
BY Him at Great
Length.

President Roosevelt sent his mes
sage TO Congress yesterday. Ii is a
verbose and yoluminous document,
some of the striking points of which
are discussed at great length.
OF these are: Expenditures, Labor,
Colorado Strike, Corporations. Re
bates, Forestry, The jamestown Tri-
centennial. Consular Service, Curren-
cy, Merchant Marine, immigration
and Naturalization, Protection of
Elections, DELAYS in Criminal Prose-
cutions, Foreign Policy, Latin Ameri-
can Republics, Rights of Americans
Abroad, The Navy. The Army. The
PHILIPPINES. In alluGing to unions
within the Government service. the
President SAYS:
"There is no objection to employees
of the Government forming or belong
ing TO unions; but the Government
can neither discriminate for or not dis
criminate against non union men who
are in its employment or who seek 20
be employed under it. Moreover. il
is very grave impropriety for Gov
eminent employees TO band themselves
together for the purpose of extorting
improperly high salaries from the
Government. Especially is this true
of those within the classified service.
The letter carriers, both municipal
and rural, are as a whole an excellent
body of public servants. They should
be amply paid. But their payment
must be obtained by arguing their
claim fairly and honorably before the
Congress and not by banding together
for the defeat OF those Congressman
who refuse TO give pr mises which
they cannot in conscience give. The
Administration has already taken
steps to prevent and punish abuses of
this nature. but il will be wise for
the Congress to supplement this action
by legislation. .

Secretary Will Not Stand For
Effort On The. Part of
Midshipmen

Secretary of the Navy Morton has
enlphatically outlined his position IN
regard to the use of influence, official,
political and social. TO secure certain
assignments for midshipmen who will
be graduated with this years class
from the Naval Academy.
In letter TO Captain Brownson,
Superintendent of the Naval Academy.
Secretary Paul Morton makes it plain
that ne will not tolerate such actions.
which he indicated were of frequent
occurrence. The views expressed in
the letter agree with those Of Captain
Brownson. The text of the letter fol-
lows:
"The Department has been approach
ed in various ways, directly and indi-
reotly, by influences seeking 10 control
the assignms MT of midshiJ men. singly
and in groups, from the class about TO
be graduated from the Naval Acad-
envy, 70 certain ships which they or
their friends have been pleased 70
specify. The Department does not
hest tate to express its disapproval OF
the spirit thus evidenced before even
the beginning of an active career in
the service, which seeks TO secure duty
in accordance with individual prefer
ence rather than for the good of the
service. as interpreted by the Depart
ment's orders.
1.-The Department is of the opinion
that the young gentlemen referred to
are not fully aware Of the gravity OF
the attack made by such requests on
the principle inyolved-that the indi-
yidual exists for tile good Of the ser
vice. not the service for the individ-
ual-and they should be warned that
the Department will regard with dis
favor the bringing of any influence.
