After his reelection by the largest
plurality on record at that time, Nc
Kinley entered his second term with
his party united behind him and with
the good will even of his political OPP
ponents. No other president ever was
spared so completely the bitter with
the sweet of success as this most
softly spoken, most ingratiaung man
in all the presidential line.
Mckinley quarreled with no one. AL
though tears of regret came into his
eyes when Senator Hoar told him
that he must break with him on his
Philippine policy, he took the senator's
hand and assured him: Il shall al
ways love you, whatever you do"
When he asked Senator Cullom wheth-
er he would get very angry if he dis
regarded his opposition to the ap-
pointment of certain Illinois man,
the senator had to confess: MIR. Pres
ident, / could not get mad at you, if
l tried" An indignant congressman,
who stormed in upon him one day,
said to his friends as he came out:
Il don't know a blamed word he said,
but it's all right, boys"
AS time went on, Mckinley had
strengthened his cabinet and his adj
mlnlSTat1on by gong outside or poll
tics and drafting into the public ser
vice, doubtless with the aid Of Han
mas advice, group Of unusually able
men. Hay, Root, Taft and Knox we're
the more notable among those dis
coveries.
Mckinley hoped to distinguish his
second term by OPENING a new and
brilliant era of expansion for Ameri-
can trade and shipping. To test pub
lie sentiment, he began a tour of the
country a few weeks after his inaugu-
ration, but this was stopped at an
early stage by the serious illness of
Mrs. Mckinley in California.

The Point in Question

A. j. Beveridge, in campaign speech against
the League of Nations, delivered here shortly
before election day, asserted that America did
not have homogeneous people, but was made up
of groups-some of alien extraction-that still
lacked the American viewpoint and were intense
ly interested in the development and destiny of
the countries from whence they came to this con-
tinent.
The appended dispatch bears out his conten-
ton:

assassin and threw him to the floor
Notwithstanding his foreign-sounding
name-Leon F. Czolgosz- he proved
to be native-born citizen, like Booth
and Guiteau. Like them also he was
the tragic product OF evil conditions.
AS Booth had been unbalanced by the
sectional hatred of the Civil War, and
Guiteau by faction strife, Czolgosz had
grown up in the bad social conditions
or some OF our big industrial centers,
where he fell an easy prey to the wild
doctrines Of anarchy or nihilism.

struck by an excited man. In the next
instant he whispered to his private
secretary, "My wife-be careful, Cor
telyou, how you tell her-Oh, be care

An immediate operation in the
Emergency Hospital of the Exposition
was decided upon, and the patient re-
peated the Lords Prayer as he passed

finished their work he was carried
to the residence of his Buffalo host,
John G. Milburn, where Mrs. McKin-
ley bravely had received the terrible

the sorrow of the people was a feeling
of humiliation that their country, the
great Republic, should have a blacker
record Of assassination than any des-
potism, that the simple, freely chosen
chiefs of our democracy should be
less safe in their lives than cars or
sultans. For the third time in hardly
more than a third of a century, a
president had been assassinated, three
out of seven of the presidents elected
in thirty-six years had been murdered,
and these the gentlest.

MARCEL'S DRAMATURGY.
The modern drama as eXemplificd
in our theatre does not in every sense
of the word portray the higher side of
our life-and yet it does. Characters
on the stage seldom manifest the hui
man instinct with which we come i'll.
to contact daily, and yet would we rec
ognize that instinct if it were properly
shown? Should a character follow
any fixed rule of action, or does it act
impulsively? Can dramaturgy teach
us the proper construction of a play,
or does it merely exist in the minds
of few exaggerated egos? Are there
fixed rules which the successful dra-
matte author must follow and would
the audience understand them if there
were? From the box-office standpoint,
is there such a thing as dramaturgy
Can a play succeed in spite of the
fact that it is written contrary to all
rules of dramatic construction? ASH.

Seventy-five per cent of the population of
