EuIogy of William Mckinley
as Firm Advocate of Peace.
by Former Vice President

Charles Warren Fairbanks. former
Vice President of the United States, in
his address upon William Mckinley, at
the banquet Of the Ohio Society last
night, declared that if the rulers of
Europe who are making our age the
bloodiest in human history" could have
been inspired by the humane, lofty
and peace-loving spirit of William Nc
Kinley we could have been spared this
horrible spectacle; Europe would not
now be a veritable hell on earth"
Mr. Fairbanks address was in part as
follows:
william Mckinley was an ideal
President. He possessed dignity of
character, a serenity and soundness of
Judgment. and steadily grew in the
confidence of the nation. He was con-
trolled by reason and not by passion.
He had a veneration for the exalted
traditions Of the executive Office. and
always did great things in great way.
He carried into the Office a large ex-
perience and full acquaintance with
public men. He sought to intensity
public confidence in our political nsti-
tutions and in sound economic and
financial policies. Knowing full well
progress and national advancement.
Success From Every Standpoint.
Judged from every standpoint. his
administration was eminently success
full. 1t was conducted upon high,
businesslike. patriotic plane and won
in an unusual degree the public con-
fidence Under it we attained the
highest measure of prosperity. A great
tariff law was enacted: Hawaii was an
nexed to our domain; war in the name
of humanity was successfully waged:
Cuban independence was secured: Porto
Rico was added to our territory. and
the Philippines came to us as a sacred
trust. The gold standard was made
secure: the public debt was refunded
at a reduced rate of interest. and the
way was prepared for an isthmian
canal; the national prestige was in
crea sed throughout the. world by car
rying into the conduct of foreign af-
fairs a firm and just policy of dealing
with other powers. He was no less in
sistent upon commanding respect for
our rights than he was faithful in OBJ
serving the rights of 9th r nations.

DEATH Of JAMES GUILD
IN N|NEN-F|FTH YEAR
Was Dealer in Rare Old Books on
Pennsylvania Avenue for
Many Years.

James Guild, who for thirty years kept
the old book store at los Pennsylvania
avenue frequented by many public men,
died last night shortly after 6 o'clock at
the home of his son, Alexander Guild, III
Pennsylvania avenue. He was ninety
five years old. and death came from pneu-
monia. Two years ago he was weakened
by stroke of paralysis. Funeral ar
engagements have not been completed, but
it is planned to have the burial in Ar
lington national cemetery. James Guild
was member of the company of stone
cutters that volunteered fer service from
this city in the first days of 1851. He
was in Capt. Rutherford's command.
With the passing of James Guild,
one of the best known figures of the
older days of the city drops from view
He was famous for his books, which
were once stacked high as the ceiling
in all of the rooms of his old second
hand shop at l05 Pennsylvania ave-
nue., in the shadow of the Capitol. The
house which he chose for his bookshop
was crammed full of books. There
were books in the cellar, books in what
should have been the parlor. in the
kitchen, the dining room and attic.
They were piled ten feet thick in some
of the rooms and James Guild, being a
true bookworm, never busted one of
them.

Was Everybody's Friend.

HE was everybody's friend and the
friend Of everybody. He had ushered
in the day of good will. unrivaled in the
history of the republic. He had uni
fed the once discordant elements of the
country. Peace and plenty widely pre-
vailed: partisan rancor had disappear
ed: great age had been ushered in
the golden age of America. 1t was the
age of reasonableness, amity and pa
triotfsm, and praise of the great Presi-
dent was upon the lips of the people.
To all entreaties of his friends to con-
sent to further public service. he said:
my second term to the acceptance of
my countrymen, whose generous con-
fdence l SO deeply appreciate, and then.
with them. to do my duty in the ranks
of private citizenship
He was the wise and trusted friend
of both labor and capital He believed
in them and they believed in him. He
advocated those measures which he felt
would best promote their mutual in
terests. The greatest improvement in
the condition of the workingmen of
the country he regarded as essential to
the highest social and national adj
vancement, and the security of capital
he held necessary to enduring progress.
Firm Believer in Home.
He was a firm believer in the home
and in all the inspiring influences that
center there. The American people will
remember his services in war, in the
Congress and in high executive offices.
and they will equally remember his de-
votion to his home. His greatness and
his gentleness, his purity and his
sweetness of character found their
truest expression in the sacred rela-
tons of the family. which, in the final
analysis, is the unit and strength of the
republic.
William McKinley's place in history
is secure. His fame will loom larger
as We recede from the events of which
he was so important a part. His name
will be recalled as the years pass in as
ISOLATION with our greatest and best :;
it will stand forever in fellowship with
the names of Washington and Lincoln"

Valuable Collection of Books.

There were old pictures with dust on
the glass so thick that only con-
noisseur knew the truth about them; and
and pictures that James Guild cared to
do business. He had a great friendship
for Speaker Reed and Senator ingalls,,
both of whom spent many hours roam
ing about in the galleries of book wealth
that lined james Guilds old shop. He
started with only handful, and collect
ed until he had fifty wagonloads by
actual count. When he opened his shop
in 1882 he could have carried his stock

away.
James Guild loved to talk of books
and would talk for hours of them and
about them: and wanted to know men
who knew books. Because he was the
ideal bookworm. and the true silent
type of booklover. he was sought out
by many men who came to the city,
the odd part of il that whenever
man would set his fancy on a rare
volume. James Guild would set his
fancy on it, too, and then there would
be a rare race between James Guilds
business principles and his love for
his book.
In summer Guild would sit out under
broad shade tree in front of his shop.
He had a hard wooden chair and would
sit with it tilted back a bit. Some
times he would have a palm leaf fan in
his hand, and it is remembered of him
that he cared little or nothing for
coats: Every one in the city worth
while seemed to know him.
He was born in Philadelphia. but
came to Washington early in his life.
He was of Scotch descent. His son.
Alexander Guild, is the sole remaining
member of the family.

Congressman Gives Story of
Two Dogs in Urging Need
of Preparedness.
His Seat Won Back Home on
Issue on Which His Voice Is
Heard in Unique Argument.

A young man named W. w. Nenable.
who comes from the fifth congressional
district of the state of Mississippi, took
the House by storm yesterday after
noon in what the Washington corre-
spondents unerringly refer to as his
maiden speech.
Representative Venable is the man
who succeeds the late Representative
Witherspoon. the leader of the small
navy and anti-defense element in the
House during the past two congresses.
In fact. Mr. Venable defeated the late
Representative Witherspoon's secre
tary on an out-and-out issue of pre-
paredness. when the election to FIJI Mr..
Witherspoon's seat was held. Mr.. Ven
able figured that il was time the peo-
pie of the fifth Mississippi had a chance
to express themselves on preparedness.
and the result was a large vote against
the previously held Witherspoon ideas.
The secretary ran on a small navy plat
form.
