IN MEMORY CF WILLIAM M'KIKLEY. ROOSEVELT'S EULOGY. Heads of the Nation Honor the Mem ory of the Martyred President at Canton, Ohio. President Roosevelt participated In a notable tribute to the memory of the late President McKlnley. He was the principal orator at a banquet given at Canton. Ohio, In commemoration of the birthday of the late President, William McKlnley, surrounded by friends, neighbors and business and political associates of tbe dead prest dest, he pronounced a brilliant and eloquent eulogy upon the life ' and works of McKlnley. President Roose velt said In part: "Throughout our history, and Indeed throughout his tory generally, it has been given to only a very few thrice-favored men to take so marked a lead In the crises faced by their several generations that thereafter each stands as the embodi ment of the triumphant effort of bis generation. President McKlnley was one of these men. It was given to President McKlnley to take the fore most place in our political life at a time when our country was brought face to face with problems more mo mentous than any whose solution we have ever attempted, save only In the revolution and in the civil war; and It was under his leadership that the na tion solved these mighty problems aright. Therefore he shall stand In the eyes of history not merely as the first man of his generation, but as among the greatest figures In our na tional life, coming second only to the men of the two great crises in which the union was founded and preserved. Concluding, he said: "We are gath ered together to-night to recall his memory, to pay our tribute of respect to the great chief and leader who fell in the harness, who was stricken down while his eyes were bright with 'the light that tells of triumphs tasted.' We can honor him best by the way we show In actual deed that we have taken to heart the lessons of his life. We must strive to achieve, each In the measure that he can, something of the qualities which made President Mc Klnley a leader of men, a mighty pow er for good his strength, his courage, his courtesy, his ever-present kindli ness and regard for the rights of others. He won greatness by meeting and serving the Issues as they arose not by shirking them meeting them with wisdom, with tbe exercise of the most skillful and cautious Judgment, but with fearless resolution when tbe time of crisis came. He met each crisis on Its own merits; he never sought excuse for shirking a task in the fact that it was different from the one he had expected to face. The long public career, which opened when as a boy he carried a musket In the ranks and closed when as a man In the prime of his Intellectual strength he stood among the world's chief statesmen, came to what it was because he treat ed each triumph as opening the road to fresh effort, not as an excuse for ceasing from effort. He undertook mighty tasks. Some of them he fin ished completely; others we must fin ish; and there remain yet others which he did not have to face, but which If we are worthy to be the In heritors of his principles we will In our turn face with the same resolution, the same aanlty, the same unfaltering be lief In the greatness of this country, and unfaltering championship of tbe rights of each and all of our people, which marked his high and splendid career."
