THE PATTON COURIER By ELMO SCOTT WATSON N JANUARY 29 carnations will adorn the buttonholes’ of thousands of Americans who will chus be carrying on a unique tradition in Pe > honoring the memory of a President of the United States. February 12 and February 22 are set aside in our patriotic calendar for reverent tribute to the names of Lincoln and Washington. October 27, Roosevelt's birthday, is often ob- served as Navy day, thus recalling his part in building up our first line of defense. But January 29 is a date for remembering not so much those elements of statesmanship which twice made him Chief Executive of his country as it is for remembering the simple, kindly soul that was the man named William McKinley. There- fore this simple tribute of wearing his favorite flower on his birthday is singularly appropriate. So swiftly has the world moved in the last quarter century that, to the present generation, at least, the name of the twenty-fourth President is com- paratively unknown. His fame is greatly overshadowed by the dominat- ing personality of his immediate sue- cessor, the “strenuous American,” and by a still later strong personality of quite another sort, whose fortune it was to lead us in the greatest war this country has ever known. But to those of a previous generation the name of McKinley has a very definite meaning. Its mention recalls to them that September day in 1901 when the word was flashed all over the country that an anarchist had shot the President as he stood in Music hall at the Pan- American exposition in Buffalo, N. Y., greeting the long line of his fellow- citizens who filed past him to shake his hand. They remember, too, how for the next week the whole nation watched his valiant fight for life; how he accepted the inevitable with the historic words, “Thy will, not ours. be done” and how, when the end came on September 14, his favorite hymn, “Nearer, My God, to Thee!” was the requiem of sorrow of thou- sands who mourned the loss of Wil liam McKinley, the President, but more the passing of William McKin- ley, the man, whose “perfect devotion to his invalid wife had excited uni- versal admiration.” So America added a third name to make its trinity of martyred Presidents, and as it did so little realized that it was definitely writing “Finis” to an era in American history. Little won- der that the present’ generation has almost forgotten him and his times! For in at least one important respect, the day of William McKinley is as remote from the present as is the day of Abraham Lincoln or even of An- drew Jackson. The year 1900 was more than the “turn of the century” for the United States. For 110 years America had been concerned with its own internal affairs, with the prob- lems of forming a union out of a group of jealous and wrangling col onies lately freed from Iuropean domination, of conquering a wilder ness and expanding westward until the land hunger of its people was sat- isfied. of preserving the nation from disunion and healing the wounds of civil strife.

He surrounded himself with able advisers, maintained cordial relations with con- gress and steadily grew in popularity with the country at large. He pos- sessed to an unusual degree the fac- ulty of forecasting public sentiment.” In the light of these estimates it would appear that McKinley, even though he did not have that training in statecraft which might be consid- ered essential to a situation involving international relations, was apparent- ly an ideal leader for a people once | they had entered upon a war which | was to be so momentous in their his- tory. It was a war which he was op- | posed to and during all the negotia- | tions with Spain, that preceded the actual outbreak of war, he repeatedly counseled patience and restraint. Even after the destruction of the Maine, when the country was in a white heat of indignation against Spain, he held fast to his purpose of securing a peaceful settlement of the dispute between the two countries over the Cuban problem. Finally, convinced that Spain would rot ac- cept America’s proposals and assured of the deep-seated conviction of the American people regarding their duty to the Cubans, thé President reluc- tantly took the decisive step. Not only did the Spanish-American | war, the highlight of McKinley's ad- ministration, result in America’s com- ing into possession of colonies in the Far East which brought the country into the realm of international poli- tics, but during that administration were taken also the other steps which aided 'in furthering her interests ig world-wide affairs. It was McKin- ley’s secretary of state, John Hay. whose “open door” policy in regard to China made the United States an active factor in the future of the Orient and it was McKinley himself, | whose proposal in 1899 for a Pan- American congress, who made the first overtures for a better understanding among the American republics, North and South. It was to popularize the Pan-American idea that the exposi- tion, where the President received his | death wound, was arranged. and it was just after he had set forth his views on the ties which should bind the two continents that he was shot. Today a magnificent memorial stands in his home city of Canton, Ohio, as the tribute of that state and the nation as well to a beloved lead er, Historians of the future may point to his administration as the most significant turning point in all American history, and as time gives a better perspective for evaluation of nis importance, President William Mc- Kinley may loom larger and larger in the gallery of American notables. But for the American people, whom he understood as few Presidents have, the best tribute that they can pay him is the simple tribute on January 29 of each year of honoring his memory with a simple thing—his favorite | fiower. start, or by reason of the favorable | location of the province in regard to | industrial cities of northern Europe.

The physical frontier has vanished, but there is still a frontier in American life whose problems we must solve, whose difficulties we must meet, There is a frontier of ignorance, of lack of interest in public duty, of lack of proper standards of’ public life and conduct, of due sense of responsibility on the part of our citizens, and especially of citizens who have had the advantage of a higher education. That frontier can be conquered. The current of its flow of influence can be directed into the great ocean of American thought, the great ocean of peace and comfort and happiness of our people, if men of education, with vision, with self-re- liance, with the interest of our country at heart, will think about these problems and give to their fellow citizens the advice that comes from honest and searching thought. There are many influences at work tending to destroy the best in American life—physical, economic, social and moral. taking a definite and active part in the promotion of counter influ- ences in order that the future life of our nation and the welfare of our people shall be healthy and happy? Newspapers Offer Surest Methods for Effective Results in Advertising By J. C. McQUISTON, Westinghouse Electric Company. Newspapers offer the best means of advertising. The Westinghouse company has put all its general advertising funds into newspaper space for the fiscal year. There are nine reasons why the newspapers may be considered best mediums: First: Intimacy—enabling the company to give itself a local iden- tity helpful to salesmen. Second: Flexibility. We can emphasize our products for a given industry in those sections where such industry predominates. Third: Co-operative tie-in advertising with local dealers. Fourth: Reader interest—nearly every worth-while American buys and reads a paper. Fifth: Instant action—today’s shopping news is responsible for to- day’s selling. Sixth: Telling the public the industry’s story; the opportunity to reach the masses with messages of local import and at timely seasons. Seventh: The advantage of both localizing and nationalizing adver- tising. Eighth: Provides a method checking results, for the resultant sale is usually so definitely tied to the appearance of the advertisement as to tell whether the ad has paid its way. Ninth: Securing full support of the sales force, Periods of Ease and Affluence Are the Productive of Dissatisfaction By REV. EDWIN KEIGWIN, New York (Presbyterian). Prosperity, not hardship, breeds discontent. selves rather readily to adversity, even deriving an amazing amount of satisfaction in enduring hardship as good soldiers. and affluence are almost always periods of pronounced’ dissatisfaction. The more we have the more we want. We are the most prospervus nation in the world today; t American enjoys more pleasures, comforts, and luxuries thar kings of two hundred years ago. Yet rarely have there been more evi dences of discontent in business and industry, with wages and dividends, in national and international affairs. This state of affairs is not unique; nor is it without promise. Every era of prosperity breeds discontent because discontent produces the next era of prosperity. What prosperity is good for is to create higher wants in men ; the chief end of prosperity is the development of manhood. Un der the urge of discontent tha world pushes on from material to ethical and ultimately to spiritual wellbeing.

Egotism and Vanity “Madame, will you walk and talk with me?’ says the old song, and the picture before our imagination is one | of grace and spirited charm. Mere- dith’s description of Clara Middleton running is as enchanting an account of beauty in motion as ever was writ- ten and never was seen. And speaking of that, which is in his great novel, “The Egoist,” brings us back to the egotism that is in all of us and kills our good sound vanity. For when anyone says to an egotist, | “Your voice does not do your face | justice, my dear, you should piteh it | lower,” offense is taken and sulkiness ensues, Whereas, were the same remark made to the truly vain women, she would reply, “Does it not?
