Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from William McKinley Memorial Address
Tor may change the political conditions of anempire; how the extinction of a narrowing line of kings may bring in an alien dynasty. But in a well-ordered Republic like ours, the ruler may fall, but the state feels no tremor. Our beloved and revered leader is gone; but the natural process of our laws provides us a successor, identical in purpose and ideals, nourished by the same teachings, inspired by the same principles, pledged by tender affec tion as well as by high loyalty to carry to completion the immense task committed to his hands, and to smite. With iron severity every manifestation of that hideous crime which his mild predecessor, with his dying breath, forgave. The sayings of celestial wisdom have no date; the words that reach us, over two thousand years, out of the darkest hour of gloom the; world has ever known, are true to the life to - day: They know not what they do. The blow struck.
