H VENTS make sport of the schemes
IL Of mice and men. Mckinley en-
tered the race for the presidency on
the tariff ISSUE was elected on the
money issue and the greatest
problems that confronted him in the
White House were the fate of chain
Of Islands off the coast OF Asia and
the destiny of China
Spain had been engaged for two
years in desolating struggle to hold
in subsection the revolving island Of
Cuba, and two happenings pushed
Mckinley into the conflict in spite of
himself. In n private letter, the Span
sh minister at Washington scofred at
the president as a "politicastro"-
In plain American, "a peanut poll
tician"-and plainly intimated that
the fair promises which the Spaniards
were giving him were only a trick to
fool the administration and the Amer
lean people. Within a week Of that
exposure, the battleship Maine was
blown up in Havana harbor, with the
loss Of 266 American lives.
After withstaudng for nearly two

MCKINLEY challenged

XXIILLlAM MCKINLEY challenged
w and disproved the old saying
that the presidency casts It's shadow
on no man but once and that If the
chance be missed then it will never
come again. Twice the Republican
nomination seemed to be within Nc
Kinley's reach-in the national con-
vcntions Of 1888 and 1892. Each time
he put it away, content to wait his
proper turn, when he did not have to
shake the tree to bring down the
ripened fruit of his patience.
Mckinley was beaten for the speak
ership by Thomas B. Reed in 1889, and
he left Washington defeated con-
gresham only six years before he re-
turned as president-elect. Had he
been speaker, and, instead Of Reed, in
cured the title of Gear" or had he
not been turned out Of congress :. {.
had he won those smaller honors he
we'll might never have won the highest
honor. A disappointment manfuliy
borne enlists the popular sympathy.
and the author of the Mckinley bill
entered the contest for the presiden-
tial nomination in 1896 as one who had
suffered martyrdom in the cause of
the protective tariff.
After teaching school term or So
Mckinley was called In the Civil war;
that hard university which graduated
the men who were to lead the nation

man to the sea. Afterward he rose
to a high and prosperous rank in the
practice Of law.
The only political office Harrison
ever held before his election to the
presidency was seat in the senate.
Defeated for reelection to that body
in the year before he was elected pres
ident, he left Washington with no
thought that he would soon return as
presdent-elect, and he frankly de-
scribed himself as "a dead duck"
The only candidate that the rank
and file Of the Republicans wanted to
nominate in 1888 was Blaine. But he
was not well, and he refused to make
a contest for the nomination. At last
he cabled from Scotland: "Takc Har-
rison." And the convention indiffer-
entity took him.
The more notable events of the Far-
rison adminIstration-the Mckinley
tariff act; the silver act, which more
than doubled the purchase of that
metal by the treasury; the Sherman
law on the subject of trusts; the de-
pendent pension act, and the first Pan
American congrcss-hardly belong in
this little story, because none Of them
originated with the president himself,
He did not rise TO leadership, and CON
grcSs took the rcins Al the While he
sni In the White House In cold aloof-
ness.
With the cry of "God help the sur
plus" the Republicans gave the coun-
try In Harrlsons administration the
first "bilIon-dOllHr congress-" the ap-
preparations for the two.year term ris-
ing to that unprecedented total. To
the popular protest Speaker Reed re-
tortcd: "ThIs is a binion-dollar coun-
try" But the country did not feel rich
enough to pay the higher tariff rates
of the Mckinley act.
That law was passed only seven
weeks before the congressional cleo
lions IN 1890. OF course anyone who
had anything to sell seized upon the
excuse to mark up prices. The "shop-
ping women" rose in their fury at the
higher cost of living, and the voters
overwhelmed the Republican majority
in the house.
That was the forerunner of n stlll
greater political overturn In the presi-
Dental election in 1892, when Harrison
went down under a sweeping victory

ID ENJAMIN HARRISON'S admins
ID tratlon proved to be only an in
Permission between the two acts Of the
Cleveland drama. History gives but
n passing glance ut the one president
whose predecessor became his success
or, who had to give up the presidential
chair to the man he took it from.
Although Harrison had more brains
than Cleveland, Cleveland had larger
nature, and that Is what counts most
In the leadership of men.
Notwithstanding Benjamin Harrison
was the grandson Of n president, in
whose house he was born, his father
was poor and the boy was brought up
plainly.
Graduating from small Ohio col
lege, Harrison married at twenty the
girl to whom he engaged himself at
eighteen, and they went to houSelleep-
ing in little threeroOm cottage in
indianapolis. He was not admitted to
the bar until after his marriage, and
the first money he ever made was as
a court crier at $3.50 day. Later on
he helped out his lean practice with
his salary as clerk of the supreme
court Of the state. Then came the
Civil war, in which he served CALAMITY
as a colonel and marched with Sher-

months the popular outcry of ere
member the Maine" the president
yielded, and war was declared. In
ten days Dewey had smashed the
enemy squadron in Manila bay; in ten
weeks another squadron was sunk
or captured off Santiago; in three
months and half poor old Spain
threw up the sponge.
It took twice as long to make peace
as to make war. The Philippines
caused all the trouble. AS we had not
captured the islands in the war, many
believed that we should let them
alone. But Mckinley decided to de-
mand from Spain the surrender of
the Philippines.
Without waiting for ratification, the
president dispatched military eXpe-
dition to take over the Philippines,
proClaiming to the revolving FiliplnOs
the policy Of benevolent assimila-
ton" The resulting war dragged its
unpleasant length for two years be-
fore the inhabitants unwillingly bowed
to their new master.
It was the strange fortune Of q
president whose entire public life had
been given exclusively to domestic
questions to plant the flag in the dis
tant Philippines and to send it to the
pink walls Of the Forbidden City of
China. In the march on Picking for the
rescue Of The forgcn legations from
the siege Of The Boxers, or Chinese
rey0lut!onsts, the United States Joined
other powers for the first time in a
military expedition.
Under the high craftsmanship of
John Hay, the secretary of state, the
United Sntos had already, before the
Boxer rebellion, laid restraining hand
upon the nations that were footing
Chinese territory and had drawn from
them pledges to Keep an "opcn door"
to trade in the ports they were selz-
ing at the point Of the gun. The
open door" has remained ever since
the chart of our course in the East.
If we will only continue to follow 1t
and should succeed in inducing others
to follow 1t while longer, until the
giant of the Orient awakens from his
long slumber aad shakes off his for
cien despoilers, an cmancipated China
will be the Imposing monument Of
william McKinloy's presidency.

through four decades. Having gone
into the army as private In the
regiment of another president-to-be-
Rutherford B. Hayes-he came out at

title of major.
Becoming a lawyer at Canton, O..
again he found himself in the midst Of
industries in their struggling infancy.
And for IA years he Was the spokes-
man in congress of that industrial
district.
The young major, when he came to
Canton, was clean-cut, outstanding
figure, genial in his nature, but with a
sober dignity. His readiness Of speSeh,
when on his feet, came from his prac-
tice of the art in the debating societies
Of his school days His habits also
had been properly formed in his boy
hood when he joined the Methodist
church at ten and grew up a youth
who was MS careful to keep his tongue
as his collar clean.
All doors in the little town natural
ly swung open with welcome to
"such nice young man." and a ma
ior to boot. Although he was yet
poor, when Ida Saxton, the bankers
daughter who had been to school in
New York city and who had Just come
back from Europe, smiled yes to him,
while they were taking buggy ride"
the banker smiled, too, and made them
wedding gift of one of the best
houses in Canton. 1t was from the
front porch of that honeymoon dwell
ing that Mckinley made his campaign
for the presidency in 1896.

The opposing team were a snappy bunch
