ROoSEVELT'S SUGGESTION

Canton, Sept. 3O.-The nation paid homage to-day to the memory of Will liam Mckinley when the splendid monument which marks his last rest ing place was unveiled in the presence of an assembled throng such as Can ton never saw before, and with the president of the United &ates as the principal speaker. It was the tribute ol a grateful nation, both in word and deed, to "a good citizen, a brave sol- d CT. T wise executive and more than 50,0OO persons, representing all walks in life and every part of the country, participated in the ceremonies dedicat- ing the monument, the loving gift of million Americans whose contribu- tions- -aggregating s6Oo,OOO provided the splendid tomb in which rest the bodies of the martyred president, his wife and their two children.
 Distinguished men from all parts of the country and many representatives of foreign countries made the pill grimage here to participate in the dedication of the mausoleum, and made the event notable one. The monument is magnificent structure, simple but imposing. In the sarcophagus are the bronze caskets containing the bodies of both President Mckinley and his wife. In niches In the wall of the tomb are two little caskets containing the ashes of their only children, Ida and Mary, both of whom died in infancy
 Upon the face of the pedestal these words are inscribed:
 William Mckinley, president of the United States; statesman singularly gifted to unite the discordant forces of government and mould the diverse purposes of men toward progressive and salutary action; a magistrate whose boise of judgment was tested and vindicated in the succession of national emergencies; good citizen, brave soldier, wise executive, helper and leader of men, exemplar to his people of the virtues that build and conserve the state, society and the home"
 The president delivered his speech in his usual emphatic manner, adding considerably to his written remarks In one of his digressions he spoke oi the impressions that the Mckinley mausoleum had made upon him when It first came into view as he drove towards it, and said that 1t had tiIer i impressed him as Greek temple. His principal addition consisted, however of an effort to emphasize and express his views on the necessity for judg. ing men regardless of their wealth ol i thoir poverty. There was apparently more applause of his contention thai the unworthy rich should be punished for their offenses than of the preceding portion which advocated proper re. gard for the well-to-do who art worthy. He stopped short and demand ed that the one sentiment have al much commendation as the other, anC by repeating his words and reiteratine his contention succeeded in securing ( marked demonstration in favor of hi entire proposition.
 The only untoward !Gcldent of tn, day was the unhorsing of one of tn troopers who escorted the president tt his train. The accident occurred in tn rear of the procession, and there wa at one time danger that the rfderles horse would make trouble. He was however, captured by more exper equestrian than his own rider, and tn danger averted.
