THE NATION MOURNS
William McKinley, President of
toe United States died at the Mil
burn Mansion, in Mutlalo, N\ V. on
Saturday morning, September 14,
1901, at 2:1:. a. in.
Words cannot express the sorrow
of the American people, nor cold
type do justice tc their feelings.
The greatest eulogy we can pro
nounce is that he was one of the
common people and their
wellfare was his foremost thought.
He was not a partisan, from the
general acceptance of the term, hut
a true American aud allied himself
with the Republican party because
he found there the greatest oppor
V tnnities for his love cd country. His
public life was honorable and pat
riotic. Morn in an obscure town in
Ohio, enlisting in the cause of his
country when but sixteen, his record
as a boy soldier has but few equals
in history, and though just past his
majority when mustered out, he was
bievtted a Major. Twice Governor
of his native state, Ohio, fourteen
years in congress and seiving his
second term as chief executive of
the greatest nation on earth. His
wise judgment and conservative
policy brought order out of chaos
and set the wheels of our dormant
industries in motion. The laboring
unan of our country bad great reason
1o rejoice at, the mention of his
name and mourn at the announce
ment of his death.
Anarchy must be put down, and
tbe man wlio justifies it in a murder
er in bis heart ami should lie treated
as such.
“What shall we do to be savsd”
from the professional auarchist.
Men have compared him to a mad
dog, others say he is crazy, all oi
which confront us with the great
necessity of controhng him. His
|f form of lunacy is generally an herid
itary one and seems to have its orig
in in the tyranical parts of Europe,
where there is an excuse for its ex
istance. But though that excuse
is rendered nil in this country, trom
the government of the people by the
people, yet after the seeds of anar
chy have thoroughly germinated by
the serfdom experienced in their
native land, our free and untram
me led liberty of thought, act and
deed fertilizes their brain and with
the teachings of some political non
descripts who would sacrifice their
birthright for an office, their cussed
ideas are fostered, and greater scope
given to their murderous heart. If
they are a “mad dog,” as would
seem a very fair comparison, they
should bo suppressed wlionever and
wherever found. If they can be ex
cused for their act on the grounds
of being crazy then the law, for tLe
safety of the people, says they
should be at once locked up. Lib
erty of speach is not a licens to
commit crime, and when that view
is taken of it by an individual, he
should be treated as a violent luna
tic and placed within an asylum.
If we discover in the community
a party teaching arson and murder,
be is at once taken care of. When
we find men forming themselves into
societies, and holding stated meet
ings to compare the ingenuity of
their brain that they may better de
vise ways of murder, it is about time
to take steps for tbe safety of the
better class of c itizens.

DEAR Father: I again take the
opportunity of addressing you. I
am well and having a good time and
hope the folks are all well. Kvery
, thing is dry here, there has been no
rain here for a long time ami no
signs of any. The battleship Keai
: sarg came through the Golden Gate
last evening and will be here a short
time. The large transport Thomas
is lading in the bay with her tiags at
h ilf mast. She has on board .500
dead soldiers from the Philippines,
We are going to have examination
soon, we took a partial examina
tion today and I received 4, 5 being
the highest we caught. Landsmen
and apprentices are enlisting here
all the time. The news of McKin
ley being shot was an awful shock
to us (later: A memorial service will
be held for McKinley, in the city
Thursday. A number of us will be
in line from the Island ) Last Tues
day morning as we were coming
i from the mess hall, we noticed
a smoke arising in the west end ol
the building, from Lieutenant Dodd’s
ottiee. \V hen we got there we dis
covered that the waste basket had
caught (ire. One of the Masters-at
arms got to it first and saved a con
(lagraiion. We expect hre drill to
night, we are not given warning un
the signal is given. We are going
to have field practice in small arms.
Mr. Daly is getting a f quad of boys
who are the best and we will have
field practice with the Marines. D
is very tiresome work. We will
have another entertainment on the
Island this month, this time it will
be a minstrel show gotten up among
the boys. We have no opera house,
we erect a stage and use the flags ol
all nations for curtains. I am go
ing to get a cap ribbon and a Ian
yard aud send it to you so you can
see what they are like. The fog
horns and whistles have been kept
going this morning, it has been very
foggy. The strikers are quieting
down some of late. One of our band
boys was going up street with his
sweetheart the other day and was
mistaken by the strikers for a team
ster who they had a grievance with.
They struck him several times be
fore he could satisfy them that lie
was not the fellow. We have a fine
naval band, it consists of lti pieces
and cun beat some of the best in the
sta’e. The marines are coming
down on the front grounds to drill
now, but some of our boys can beat
them, the lieutenant in charge is a
cousin of Teddy Roosevelt and is
the very picture of him The sail
ing launch Lady Mine, was nearly
ruined the other day. She had been
in dock for repairs and the steam
launch Augusta, was towing her past
Angle Island,when the launch broke
down. They drifted some but soon
fastened her anchor. After repairing
the launch they started again and
the tow line broke and her anchor
would not catch and shs drifted onto
the Island and was pretty badly
broken up. Well I guess I will
close for this time.
