Few men knew him ‘intimately for while he had a’ legion of friends, only a certain circle enjoyed his compicte confidence and knew the man as their. in timate, loyal friend.., Those who McKenzie be: friended ‘and. asgista sean, never forget the big genial fellow. No‘han ld be as active in ‘poli: tics and riot make-enemies. In fact the success with which he worked from mean ciftéumstances to the position of a national figure, brought in it wake jealousies, but it cemented also a great fol- lowing of men who regarded him as an infallibk leader. Noman in any state had exactly the kinc of an organization of faithful followers tha‘ Alexander McKenzie built up in the half century that he played a leading role in the affairs o! North Dakota. x * He came to Brainerd, Minn., a young man whc had just left Canada. His great vitality, love of the open space of the prairie and of virile life 0’ the frontier, urged him further west and he cam¢ to Bismarck ahead of the railroad, a poor boy but with a personality and b power of leadershi that was to count mightily in the upbuilding 0! the state. Then came the hard struggle of, the pionee: days. » He accepted his first and only office sub- ject to the vote of the people, that ‘of sheriff 0! Burleigh county. He was a good sheriff and di¢ the job with a thoroughness that characterized; every responsibility he accepted. _ That office was but a stepping stone. He saw here a great future and helped to lay the founda-. recognition for this section of the state at al! times. He was the best friend Bismarck or thc Slope ever had. Above all men, he helped morc to secure the investment of: capital here and hc was a tireless worker for Bismarck and his firs: achievement is written in the state’s history wher he moved the territorial capital from Yankton to Bismarck. The generalship of that contest is known to many living here today and the capacity of McKenzie for\handling men and affairs was so well demonstrated that the,state turned to him ar a natural leader. j : Few men, probably none in North Dakota af. fairs have been as roundly abused as McKenzie ‘McKenzieism became the name of a certain schoo’ of politics. Men who had been bested in politica: battles used the language of the frontier in their abuse, but McKenzie plodded along winning vic- tory ‘after-victory until he ceased.to play the gamc with his old time zest and devoted.more time tc national politics and the handling ofthe great business ventures of which he was a part... For the last few. years while dominating a-cer- tain_ organization which while small in number worked faultlessly under his’ master’ hand, he never, stn politics: of the ole day: te for months;..no mai, kne} Mbher le solitude of his’ own choosihg to recuperate'a Vitality spent upon a most |’ active and busy life. - Those who ‘have enjoyed the confidence o! acter he was. Rough and ready at times and even was a wonderful gentleness about him in the pres- ence of sickness, misfortune or death. He never spoke his charity. There never can be written the generous things he did, the little acts of char. ity for the people with whom he rubbed shoulders. He was a man that could walk with the mighty and not lose the common touch. He was demo- cratic ‘in all things. Those who knew him, anc he could call more men by their first names than any North Dakotan, were impresed with the facil- ity with which he met all classes. He was the friend of presidents and railroac magnates, but after. a conference with them, ii was not unusual to see him engaged in conversa- to get all points of view. Unlearned as college educate, he had a store of knowledge and experi- ence that many a man who carries a row of col: lege degrees might well be proud of. He gradu. ated with honors from the university of: hard knocks and he knew a man whatever his station or calling. Few in this state were as good a judge of men. ; ‘ “In some ways, McKenzie was an enigma. His friends at times were puzzled. He had a way of his own in solving political as well as: businesc problems. When in the midst of a political bat- tle, he seldom slept but a few ‘Hours: A constitu- “ortune. ‘were killed in getting on or tion of iron was his and many an adversary was worn down by the sheer force ‘of his personality and vitality. 4 The popular conception of Alexander McKenzie was wrong. Those who did not share his confi- dence pictured him much in the same light as a Tammany boss working onthe whims and preju- dices of men to gain certain selfish ends. , Mc- Kenzie played the game on a broader scale, He never sought to secure the passage of laws prej u jicial.to North Dakota. When its constitution was written, McKenzie was in the saddle and out of that ‘convention came a constitution although now sadly mutilated was a benefit to the state and zave North Dakota a standing that brought a low of ¢redit toward her centers when ‘it was nost needed. ! McKenzie had and ever sought wise advisers. Hs was not stubborn, but a good listener. He had i facility of getting things done. ‘Nothing but 3uccess interested -him, but when ‘the political scales went aganist him at times as they did, he vas a good loser and began building his fences for the next battle Few men could tell a story better. He had the ‘iistory of the state at his finger tips and it js a listinct loss to the state that he leaves none of ‘t behind as a permanent record. It was his de- ight to corral a few old cronies and recount the 2arly history of this state and ‘the interesting dhases of the various battles. |. McKenzie was the friend of Presidents Mc- Kinley, Roosevelt and Taft.’ He was often called ‘nto political conferences with the: great leaders n national politics. No man was more sought ufter for advice. : But he was not a politician only, although he learly loved to play the game. , He was a success| ‘n business. He brought to that the same shrewdness and sagacity that characterized his success in‘other fields. McKenzie amassed a large Successful as a railroad and general -ontractor he participated in some of the largest mngineering jobs in the United States and Canada. The ownership of the Bismarck Water Supply ompany, farm and ranch lands, raising. of stock nd interest in oil properties indicate that he was 1 man of business affairs. He was a unique figure in the history of the :tate and he will be missed by the people of North Jakota for wherever Alexander McKenzie was, North Dakota hada friend and her people a vorthy champion.

Whether this secondary period of inflation will e permanent, is doubtful. © The world-wide price ‘ise, however, has a silver lining for the consum- xr: It means that business recovery is world- vide, which is a healthy basis. Prices rise with confidence. They fall with fear.
