MAYOR ACCEPTS MONUMENT. After a selection by the band Mayor Eugene E. Schmitz was called. In the name of the municipality he made ac- ceptance of the monument and prom- ised that the city's government, and particularly the Board of Park Com- missioners, would for all time preserve with loving care the tribute to the memory of the illustrious President, that it may teach the lesson of noble manhood. “With deepest feelings of apprecia- tion of the worth of William McKinley as a worker for great xood in our na- tion and as the typification of purity in private and public life,” said the Mayor, “as a meager expression of friendship entertained by us for one whose kindly interest was many times shown us, 1 accept this magnificent monument from you on behalf of the people of San Francisco. Set at the very gate of our great park, almost in the very center of the city, where the lesson it has to teach may be im- pressed on the greatest number of our people, may it ever evoke the vivid rec- ollection of the kindly life, the exalted abilities and the lofty patriotism of our beloved President, William McKin- ley. May this monument for all time stand to symbolize nobility hood.” Representing the Golden Gate Park Commission, of which he is a member, Reuben H. Lloyd undertock the imme- diate care of the monmument and ex- d a hapby appreciation of the on of the committee to place it at the entrance of the park. AN ADMIRABLE SITE. “The commission has long desired that there should be some marked fea- ture at the entrance to the panhandle,” said Mr. Lloyd, “and the committee’'s of man- | decision to follow the suggestion that it be erected on this spot gave us much satisfaction. We believe it a most ap- propriate selection of a site. Our park is approaching the rank of the grand- est parks in the world and in time it will be one of the brightest beauty spots on the face of the earth. With our equable climate every tree and shrub and flower can be grown in Golden Gate Park, dnd if the policy shall be carried out in the future, as I believe it will, every tree, shrub and flower found anywhere on the globe will be flourishing here with us. “And what better inspiration could confront the visitor to the park than a monument to the man wha. lived for | his God, his country and his fellow men. How better could the visitor be stirred than seeing symbolized the life of one of the greatest and grandest statesmen the world has ever known. “This monument; stands as well a tribute to the good citizenship and 1ib™ erality of those who contributed the $30,000 toward the building of it. When the movement was organized for the undertaking a man was chosen as the | chairman of the committee who is al- ways to be found among those ready to help out financially and with his labor in the beautifying and improve- ment of our city. May this monument through all the centuries be an incen- tive to young men to study and there- by be uplifted by the noble life of the illustrious McKinley.” MR. McNAUGHT'S ORATION. Again there was music and more ap- plause, after which John McNaught vas introduced to deliver the oration. He spoke as follows: Of old it was said, “Man never works so like a god as’in the building of a city.” The saying derives its value from vthe fact that in building a city man bends the crude materials and rude forces of nature to his. will qn? makes for himself a dwelling place fit- ted for the delight of his mind, as well as for the comforts of his body. A well bum citygis a realization of human 1 ideas, through the exercise of human energies, and is so distinctly an arti- ficial thing that the builders of it may not unreasonably be deemed to have exerted something of a genuine cre- ative power. Each citizen should, in proportion to his means, strive to have his city adorned with every structure that tends to the maintenance of the high- est civilization and to the uplifting of the mind in joy, admiration and rev- erence.

Therefore, whenever a new monument of a noble sort is added to the city we should rejoice and give honor to those to whose liberality and civic patriotism it is due. For this monument which we have assembled to dedicate the city is in- debted primarily to a spontaneous im- pulse of the whole people. So dear was William McKinley to their hearts, 80 near was he to their patriotism and their pride, that when his death came S0 untimely and in a faslion so dread- ful, the emotions of the mass burst forth in a well nigh universal demand for the erection of a monument which would bear witness to their love for hfm as a man and to the honor in which they hold his high service to the epublic. ALL CLASSES EAGER TO GIVE. The intensity cf the feeling prompted the people to action without waiting for organization. Contributions for the de- sired monument poured in from all sides upon the city authorities and the newspapers, so that a considerable sum was donated before even so much as a committee had been appointed to take charge of it. Affer the appoint- ment the contributions increased rap- idly in number and in magnitude. Some of them were given in sums so large and with such munificence of liber- ality that any community might justly be proud of having citizens capable of such splendid giving; but as the con- tributions came from all classes and as the laborer gave of his ‘earnings as generously as the millionaire of his fortune, it would be invidious to select any for special praise. Let it suffice to say that within a space of hardly more than three months, without re- sort to any indecorous means of rais- ing money, almost without even the form of canvassing, there was donated a sum of more than thirty thousand dollars by the free, prompt giving of a patriotic people. That is a record in which the city and its citizens can have a juster pride than if the whole sum, or ten times the sum, had been given by a single millionaire. Recognizing the full value of the spontaneous offerings of the people, let us not forget to give due honor and praise to the members of the executive committee, who organized the work and carried it forward in a well or- dered way with such efficiency of ac- tion and such excellerice of artistic judgment as to provide for us the noble monument we are now to dedi- cate. WORK OF NATIVE SCULPTOR. One further fact in the story of this memorial touches our local pride and adds to our gratification. The monu- ment is the work of a San Francisco sculptor, a native of the city, an artist whose original genius germinated, blossomed and bore fruit under Cal fornia skies, without the aid of for- eign training or inspiration. Surely then we may look upon this new orna- ment of our city with a glow of just and genuine satisfaction, for from first to last it is an outcome of our crea- tive faculties and self-directed ener- gies. It is a city of our own making that is growing up in magnitude and in magnificence around us. It was founded by the enterprise of our fathers; we are advancing it by our industry and adorning it through the impulses of our patriotism by the artistic triumphs of our native genius. Far beyond the reach of local pride, far above the height of local patriot- iem, are the reaches and the heights to which our minds are carried and lifted by thé memory of the great statesman whose fame and service this memorial is designed to commemor- ate; yet even in his story there are in- cidents that touch us closely. We re- call that he dwelt for a while in our city, looked into our eyes, grasped our hands, felt his heart beat responsive to our love, spoke in warm com- mendation. of our achievements and gave utterance to lofty and splendid prophecies of our future greatness. We remember that his hand. turned the turf for the foundation of the monument that stands in the heart of the city to commemorate Dewey’s great victory in Manila Bay and that it was his friend and colleague, an- other President of the United States,, Theodore Roosevelt, who in his turn broke the ground for this monument. Thus we have local recollections to bring his” personal influence néar to us and to give something of tender- ness to the feeling with which we re- call the far-off greatness of his work and the sublime heights of his illus- trious career. WROUGHT WORLD DESTINIES, It is most appropriate from the point of view of the larger history of the world that he should have laid in this city the foundation of the me- morial of the victory in Manila Bay, ‘lor despite his many services in our dcmestic politics he will be remem- bered by future generations chiefly | because of his connection with the war in which that victory was won: a war in which his personality as the leader of the American people exer an influence so potent as to affect ti destinies not of this country only, but of the whole world. William McKinley became President of the United States at a period when forces, unnoted but irresistible, were about to readjust the balance of the powers of the earth and change the front of this republic from the At- lantic to the Pacific. When the war against Spain brok® out no one looked for the acquirement of any area of conquered territory. It was abselutely a war waged for humanity alone. The evils in the island of Cuba had be- come intolerable to the civilizeq world. The dreary story of blood and ruin was too cruel to be longer borme. -Hu- — s o pressor and command him: “In God’s name, halt!” The American people under the lead- ership of President McKinley under- took that championship, believing the war would have no other end than the independence of Cuba, but nations ne more than individuals can control the sequence of events. We see the begin- ning of many things, but we cannot see the end of anything. That little con- flict, so petty in comparison with the mighty struggles that began the nine- teenth century, has had sequences as far reaching and as portentous of good or evil as the most prolonged and ter- rible of the wars of the great Napo- leon. It transformed the ocean-girt re- public into an ocean girdling empire. It carried our banner beyond the sweep of the Pacific, to far off islands of the Chinese sea, and established it in per- manent dominion over millions of the peoples of oldest Asia. NEW EPOCH IN OUR HISTORY. So great a change in the relations of the United States to the rest of the 1 world marked nothing less than the be- ginning of a new epoch in our history, and our politics, both domestic and for- eign, will be forevermore affected by it. All experience teaches that when an old order of things terminates and a new order begins the factor of supreme importance in determining the course of political events is the personal char- cter of the dominant leader of the tlme. The course of the commonwealth of Ensland after the war between Par- liament and King Charles would have been widely different had Oliver Crom- well fallen in battle instead of John Hampden; the French revolution would have had another issue had Robespierre died in the early days of the revolt in- stead of ;Mirabeau; we all know how | much of the success of our republic is due to the fact that at the foundation of the Union it had the leadership of Washington; we know how priceless to the side of the Union during the days of the Civil War was the personal in- fluence of Lincoln, Even so shall we recognize the high good fortune that is ours in having had during the Spanish war and at the beginning of our colo- nial expansion the guidance, the influ- ence and the inspiration of the leader- ship of William McKinley. For the right performance of the du- ties imposed upon him by the emer- gency of the war and its consequences the man was so well fitted by nature and by training that it seems almost as if he had been prepared for the work by a direct act of Providence. He had ived his youth in times when the stress and strain of the most tremendous civil war in modern history tried men’s souls to the uttermost. He passed at 17 years of age from school into the army, and there, amid a million valiant men, so distinguished himself that despite his youth he rose rapidly to high rank on the staff of his commanding general, winning promotion by faithful service and by gallantry on the fleld of battle. With tue close of the war he entered political life and was elected seven times Representative in Congress and twice Governor of Ohio before his ele- vation to the Presidency. So from first to last his course was steadily upward; there were no accidents in his career; he atained the chief magistracy of the republic untrammeled by promises or pledges, becoming in the fullest sense of the words the free leader of a free people. HIS PERSONAL CHARACTER. Through the whole course of his pub- lic life he was noted for a singular sweetness of disposition and courtesy of manner. He had in a high degree the fine faculty of making and retain- ing friendships strong enough to with- stand all the friction of party strifes and of individual ambitions. His charm was something more than the attrac- tion of a personal magnetism.” It was the rich perfume of the flower of a chiyalrous and sympathetic manhood. His'nature was full and fine in all the faculties and graces of the affections; his tenderness for his wife shone out over the whole land and will be long remembered as one of the most beauti- ful love stories in the annals of his- tory; while his wider sympathies em- braced within their scope of genuine friendliness, every degree and kind of men with whom he had any dealings whatever, and seem to have been in- spired always by that touch of nature that makes the whole world kin. Such was the man whom the votes of the people had placed at the head of the republic when, in the resistless march of events, necessity compellea this country to destroy the last ves- tiges of Spanish empire in America and in Asia, and to provide governments for the various peoples thus released from their ancient rule. Every great faculty of his nature was summoned to great action by the issues that con- fronted him. Well was it then for him, for uz and for the liberated peo- ples of the redeemed islands, that he had so worthily lived and so unselfish- Iy worked throughout his entire life, that at this juncture he had the full confidence of his countrymen and their full support in the performance of the mighty task before him. That confi- dence could not have been given to one less noble than himself, and without it the issues resulting from the war might have been involved in partisan. to disturb the country for years and ieeve a direful heritage for future gen- erations. £ The influence of his personal char- acter was shown first in the calmness and steadiness with which agitators clamoring for war were held back un- til the rightfulness of our cause made evident to all, and the sober judt ment of the whole people was with him; it was shown again in the com- pleteness with which he won the hearts of the people of the South and lvwed among them genuine devotion to the Umwthflwpeafluul}tom nish its quota of volunteers to follow the flag to battle and carry it to vie- tory. LED HIS COUNTRY SAFELY. Chiefly, however, the value of his in- fluence was shown when the time came to solve the problems of the Philip- pines. No other statesman could have led the people of the United States to agree so nearly unanimously in the an- nexation of those far off islands and the acceptance of the responsibilities of their government. He led us safely into this path because he made it clear to us that It is the right path; that for America, empire does not mean impe- rialism; that there can be an expan- sicn of liberty as well as an expansion of despotism; and that when the stars and stripes are carried across the seas they take with them every guarantee of present good and future hope that they have held out to humanity since first they were unfurled in the cause of freedom by the hand of Washington. Like all great men, McKinley be- lieved the duties of life are decreed for us by an overruling providence. and that in its highest sense history is nothing less than the record of God’'s dealing with mankind. Over and over again, while the issue was as yet undecided in the public mind, did he impress upon the people that the establishment of order in the Philip- pines is a duty which under divine di- rection we owe to humanity even more than to ourselves. Once he said: ‘“Wherever we have raised our flag we have raised it not for con- quest, not for territorial aggrandize- ment, not for national gain, but for civilization and humanity other occasion he said: and the Philippines have come to us in the providence of God and we must carry the burden, whatever it may be, in the interest of civilization, human- ity and-lberty.” So again he said: “When the mists fade away and we see with clear vision, may we not go forth rejoicing in a strength which has been employed solely for human- ity and always tempered with justice His Asiatic Doctrme Guide for World. It Takes Place Wath Monroe's Libe'réy Flourishes in nsion. and mercy, confident of an ability to meet the exigencies that await us, be- cause caonfldent that our course is one of duty and our cause that of right?” Holding these high aims ever in his mind, and mounting steadily to ever higher planes of statesmanship, his in- tellectual horizon widened as he rose. In the end he became not the leader of a nation only, but a great master of world politics and stogd unques- tioned the foremost statesman of his time. When the long® menacing problem of China precipitated itself upon the world by the Boxer outrages, civilization looked to him for light and leadership; nor did it look in vain. His declaration of American policy toward China not only satisfled the interests of the nations, but cheered the conscience of humanity itself, and the time may yet ‘come when the American people will uphold the Mc- Kinley doctrine in Asia as they up- hold the Monroe doctrine in America, and make it an honored, renowned and enduring part of an inviolable foreign policy. LAST SPEECH HIS GREATEST. Then came ‘at the Buffalo Exposi- tion, the great oration in which his genius expanded its luminous wings to the fullest-and farthest flight of CRITICIZES AMERICANS, Policy Bearmg Good Fruit statesmanship. It was a plea for greater freedom of trade, a larger amplitude of commerce, for a closer relationship among the peoples of all nations, and for the maintenance of peace through high courts of arbitra- tion. “God and man,” he said, “have linked the nations together; no na- tion can any longer be indifferent to any other”; and, he added, “Our ear- nest prayer is that God will graciously | vouchsafe prosperity, happiness and | peace to all our neighbors, and like blessings to all the peoples and the powers of the earth.” That great appeal of “large, divine and comfortable words” found a re- sponse in the hopes and in the hearts of liberal men all over the world. It is not too much to say that civiliza- tion itself, hearing the speech, paused to watch what actlon would follow, to what higher heights of statesman- ship the great leader would lead us on; | and then, on the next day after that speech, “the eagle, soaring in his pride of place, was by a mousing owl hawked at and killed.” It is a part of the established order of the universe that the influence of a great man lives after him and never wholly dies. Our thoughts and lives are largely colored and shaped by spiritual influences that have come to us from far back in the ages; and we may be sure that the patriotism, the humanity and the faith of McKinley still survive in the world and will not be without potent influences in the councils of the republic and the minds of the people so long as the nation endures. He served the republic with a devotion inseparable from an equal devotion to the welfare of humanity itself. He was one of the preat men through whom God hath wrought great things. In four years of office he freed Cuba and established its. government in independence; he made a way /in peace for the construction under Amer- ican control of an isthmian canal to connect the Atlantic with the Pacific; he established in Asiatic affairs a policy which all civilized nations must in the end approve and uphold; he extended the domain of the republic far into the Orient and gave to millions of people who had hitherto known only aparchy or despotism, the blessings of liberty protected by law; .he won back to the Union the affections as well as the al- legiance of the South and made us for the first time a wholly united people, and above all he set an example of purity of life which has its honored remembrance in every American home. He was indeed a good as well as a great man; in the solemnity of this Thanksgiving day we can with all reverence include his memory among the things for which we are grateful to the God of nations. His was no jingo patriotism with the cry “my country, right or wrong,” but the holier patriotism expressed in the sacred motto “God and country.” To that patriotism we as a people must attain or our republic will go the way of pagan empires. It is good therefore to have this memorial ever before our eyes, that we may never lose the mem- ory nor fail to feel the inspiration of the life of the great statesman who in a crucial hour of our country fought the good fight and kept the faith. The speaker had stirred the audience to the spirit of the occasion and thewg was prolonged applause when he con- cluded. The band gave a concert for half an hour, while the spectators walked around to view the monument from all sides gnd admire its impres- siveness. Throughout the afternoon the crowds continued to come to see — PRESIDENT SENDS. S i Continued From Page 1, Column 5. signifying United States of North America. Having in the first public criticism here of the State Depart- ment’s suggestion that embassies here- after shall be called ‘“American” thus uttered a respectful protest against the assumption of the larger name, Sir Ed- ward proceeded to refer to the miser- able underpayment of American judges and America’s waste of energies in pro- viding for survivors of the Civil War and in building ironclads which she would never use. Embassador Choate, replying, said that Americans were quite satisfied with their name and then referred to the recent election in the United States as a splendid tribute to a great man. Having remarked upon the regenera- tion of public life in America regard- less of party, Choate alluded to the] ever-growing friendship between Great Britain America as a reason for Thanksgiving, and added: “I asked Lord Lansdowne if he was ready to negotiate a treaty of arbitration. “ ‘Why,’ said Lord Lansdowne, ‘it goes without saying.’ ™ Continuing, Choate maintained that many things go without saying be- tween Great Britain and the United States; above all, that they should avoid all possible causes of offense and settle their differences by peaceful means. He paid a high tribute to the Arch- bishop of Canterbury’s “rediscovery of America” and dilated upon the value of visits to America by such men as the Archbishop and John Morley. The Archbishop,of Canterbury, pro- posing President Roosevelt's health, ex- pressed sincere thanks for the great hospitality with which he was received in America. He said America faced problems greater than the world had ever seen, but by a stroke of genfus had found the man to conquer the dif- ficulties. “We on this side,” said the Arch- bllllon. “not less than brothers to you Atlantic, m-x‘::’-m time that Roosevelt and Donovan have boxed.

He is quick on his feet, handles his fists well and does not know what fear is.

One grain of the active principle in Stuart’s Dyspesia Tablets will digest 3000 grains of meat, eggs or other wholesome food, and this claim has been proven by actual experiment which anyone can perform for himself in the following manner: Cut hard- boiled eggs into very small pieces, as it would be if masticated, place the egg and two or three of the tablets in a bottle or jar containing warm water, heated to 98 degrees (the temperature of the body), and keep it at'this tem- perature for three and one-half hours, at the end of which time the egg will be as completely digested as it would have been in the healthy stomach of a hungry boy. The point of this efperiment is that what Stuart's Dyspesia Tablets will do to the egg in the bottle it will do to the egg or meat in the stomach, and nothing else will rest and invigorate the stomach so safely and effectually. Even a little child can take Stuart's Tablets with safety and benefit if its digestion s weak and the thousands of cures accomplished by their regular’ daily use are easily explained when it is understood that they are composed of vegetable essences, aseptic pepsin, diastase and Golden Seal, which mingles with the food and digest it thoroughly, giving the overworked stomach a chance to recuperate. Dieting never cures dyspepsia, neith- er do pills and cathartic medicines, which simply irritate and inflame the intestines. ‘When enough food is eaten and promptly digested there will be no con- stipation, nor in fact will there be dis- ease of any kind, because good diges- tion means good health in every organ. The merit ‘and success of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are world-wide and they are sold at the moderate price of 5 cents for full-sized package in every drug store in the United States and Canada, as well as in Europe.
