MANY TAKE FAREWELL VIEW
OLD AND YOUNG VISIT BIER OF
MRS. M'klNLEY.
Plans for Protection Of President and
Other Distinguished Persons at
Funeral Are Made.

Canton, O., May 29.-Long before
the time set Tuesday to admit to the
Mckinley home those who might de-
sire to take a farewell view of the
mortal remains Of Mrs. Mckinley,
there had gathered in front of the
famous North Market street cottage
crowd of people made up of youth
and old age. From the public schools
came children in troops who with
blanched faces and in hurried whis-
pers awaited their turn for admission.
Neighboring cities and villages and
the surrounding country contributed
to the list of those who passed
through the Mckinley residence.
Inspector Sutton of the United
States secret service has arrived in
Canton. He consulted with Chief of
Police Smith and together they made
plans for the proper protection of the
president and other distinguished WIS.,
itors during their stay in this city.
Chief Sutton and Chief Smith went
over the line which the funeral cor
tege will take from the Mckinley
home to Westlawn cemetery, and
their knowledge of this will be util-
lied in stationing local men and de-
tectives to prevent any undue demon
stration.

Bryan a Doer of Things.

The Sioux City Tribune, never for
Bryan, and republican in the guise of
independent, presumes to advise the
democratic party regarding it's next
nominee for the presidency. 1t de-
spairs, however, of having its advice
accepted. Democracy" it says, twill
probably choose the man who only says
things and dreams impossible things.
Nice man, lovable, good, sincere, hon
est and all that, but he doesn't dc
things.
At least he is not benightedly igno-
rant. Practically every policy which
has popularized the Roosevelt admins
tration has been stolen from Bryan, and
the policies which have not popularized
it,-approval of the ship subsidy graft,
ETC., are peculiarly Roosevelt's own.
Iowa would not today have a primary
law but for Bryan. He came into the
state at time when the standpatters
and certain democrats We're aligned
against the measure He disrupted the
combination, and saved Cummins
promise to the people, as well as his
own party platforms promises. OF
this the Tribune may be in blissful ig-
norance, as, presumably, it is. Tele-

That Five Million Fund.

So the president has discovered the
existence of Give Million Dollar
Fund.- raised to prevent the carrying
out of his ideas! Good for the president!
But what ideas of his have so aroused
Wall street? His ship subsidy idea?
No, Wall street does not object to that.
His asset currency idea? No, Wall
street does not object to that. His big
navy idea? No, Wall street does not
object to that. His idea of charging
the powers of the federal government
at the expense of the states? No, that
is just what Wall street wants.
What ideas, then, is Wall street pre-
pairing to fight? Regulation of the rail-
roads, prosecution of trusts and the in
come tax. And where did the president
get these ideas? From the democratic
platform. Wall street also objects to
the inheritance tax and this was not
taken from the democratic platform
although in harmony with it.
But why is the president surprised
that Wall street conspired to defeat
these same ideas in 1896 and 1900? Did
not Wall Street contribute more money
then to defeat these same ideas than it
is preparing to contribute now? The
president took part in both of those
campaigns and he was on the Wall
street side! Did he understand the
nature of those contests and did he
know that Wall street was then contri
buting more than five millions to defeat
those same ideas? The answer must
be no, for had he known then what he
knows now how could he have joined in
the conspiracy? Evidently, he has been
studying, and now that he understands
ho 1oI>1 IL L,
datory wealth and the common people,
will he forget it? Suppose Wall street
controls the republican convention and
Wall street, will his administration sup
port the Wall street candidate? The
president was very bitter in his denun-
citation of democrats in 1896 and 1900;
will he feel more kindly toward them
now that he knows against what odds
they made their fight for the people?
Let US hope So And the republicans
who are indignant at Wall streets op-
position to the president, will they be
more tolerant toward democratic re-
formers?
If the discovery of the Give Million
Dollar Fund" does nothing else it ought
to make the president and other repub-
lican reformers sympathize with the
democrats who have been fighting the
corrupting influences which Wall street
has exerted on American politics
through its control of the republican
party Surely the stars are fighting
with us when each new disclosure
strengthens the democratic position,
and when republican president gives
continued vindication to democratic
principles. The Commoner.

ing Al. The Dodge City sage paced
Colonel Roosevelt in the most desir-
able and best lighted niche in the
American pantheon of fame In words
which cannot be misconstrued. Bat
says, you can just put it down as
an absolute fact that Theodore Roose-
welt is the greatest president this coun-
try has ever had and that he will be
renominated and reelected next year."
So say they all-that is, all of the
bread and butter brigade, from Hon.
Elihu Root, secretary of state, to Bat,
for it must not be forgotten that the
latter is now a member, an enthusias
tic one, Of that widespread organiza-
ton. Bat does not beat about the bush
OF indulge in any diplomatic circumlo-
cution, but talks as he was won't to
shoot, straight at the heart. OF course
Bat knows on which side his bread is
buttered, and he knows where both
bread and butter come from. He did
not shoot buffaloes and "bad men, on
the plains for couple of decades for
nothing Nobody ever suspected him
of being good judge Of presidents,
but nobody can blame his courage and
his candor in placing his chief in the
highest position. Bat may have heard
of Washington, Jefferson, Jackson and
Lincoln, but they are dead ones" AMI
In his Judgment count for no more
than certain dead ones out at Dodge
who were not as quick on trigger as
Bat. He knows Colonel Roosevelt and
likes him, and he is for him against all
Corners. A faithful friend is Bat. far
more honest than many of the Roose-
welt whoopers up.
