DEATH OF PRES. McKINLEY.
The death of President McKin¬
ley came as a great shock to every
southern heart.
To the people of every section ol
this broad laud of freedom and civil
liberty, the president had greatly
endeared himself personally by his
conservative and broad statesman¬
ship ; while in his official capacity,
and as the head of the government
of the nation, he was loved and es¬
teemed as no other president has
been so universally esteemed since
the aute helium day s of the repub
lie.
Though not the choice of the
southern people for president in
the contest for that high office, yet
when he was chosen by the suf¬
frage of a majority of the Ameri¬
can people, they patriotically ac¬
quiesced in the result without a
murmur; and when he entered
upon the discharge of his official
duties, he did so with the fullest
confidence and respect of the whole
American people.
Death obliterates all party and
sectional lines, and so the Ameri¬
can people, with one accord, bow
their heads in sorrow and sincere
grief to day, over the tragic death
—the brutal assassination—of Pres
ident McKinley.
The high office which he so ably
and conservatively filled, belonged
to the American people, and his
terrible death is a sad blow inflict¬
ed upon the whole people. There¬
fore, every heart is sore, and every
head is bowed in sincere sorrow
and humiliation over the dire ca¬
lamity which has fallen upon the
country.
But the tragic . ceatn oi the
pres
ident must be avenged, through the
laws of the land, and not by vio
lence against the enemies of the
government, the , . of , society, .
’ enemies
and the red handed enemies of law
and order, but by bringing them to
speedy . and , iust . punishment . , , by the ,
law.

President Roosevelt.
Vice President Theodore Roose¬
is now president of the United
He took the oath of office at 3.40
m. on Saturday, September 14,
1901.
The law provides that the vice
president shall take the oath of
office, and assume the reins of
government, immediately on the
death or other disqualification of
the president.
President Roosevelt is a man of
destiny, and we predict that he will
make a strong and popular admin¬
istration.
No man has ever risen in popu
ular favor as fast as Theodore Roos¬
evelt during the past three or four
years.
Let us hope he will make a good
and popular president.
The many friends of Dr. M. H.
Melton, oi Conyers, will be de¬
lighted to learn that he has been
tendered the position of storekeep¬
er at the new federal prison in At¬
lanta. The position was secured
for him by Col. L. F. Livingston,
and is a most excellent one. We
do not know certainly, but have
been informed the salary attached
to the position is about $1,600.
The Star congratulates the doc¬
tor upon his good fortune, as we
know he is well qualified to fill the
position with satisfaction to the
government, and credit to himself.
North Georgia is a little backward about
coming forward with her favorite sons, for

Saturday, to a young lady in North Carolina,
gave his bride a check tor $4,000,000, as a

Col. Evan P. Howell, of Atlanta, has been

the colonel is very patriotic and accommo¬
dating, and will compromise the matter by
running for councilman in the 7th ward.
Wellington is already condemned in the
hearts of the American people for his inhu

Too Much Anarchy. 1
The Star fully agrees with the
Atlanta Daily News in saying there
are too many kinds of anarchy
abroad in this country.
It is time to call a halt, as we
said, last week, about lynching by
burning at the stake.
It may truly be said that all op¬
position to law and order, by force,
is anarchy, and cannot be engaged
in by any law-abiding citizen.
The anarchist who plots to assas¬
sinate the president, or other exec¬
utive head of the government, is
the worst kind of a criminal, “a
snake in the grass,” so to speak,
and must be suppressed for the
protection and safety of society.
All persons who deliberately pro¬
pose the violation of law, either by
force or otherwise, may be classed
as anarchists, and should be called
down by the people.
