-‘i‘lie death of Marcus 1.. Hanna.
which occurred at Washington on Mon-
day laet. closed the earthly career of
a man of national influence Ills life
is worthy of study from the standpoints
of manhood of politics and of states
manship.
As a man Mr. Hanna appeared to
have been marked by integrity. frank
nose and aeneroaity.‘ Ho had a boat
of friends. who seem to have discover-
ed in him qualities which produced an
increasing regard ..
His father was a Quaker and betcha-
ed to Virginia while his mother '33
a New Englander. He therefore may
be said to have belonged to the whale
country. for his parents represented
the North and the South while his life
was lived in the Middle West. For
forty years he was distinctively a busi-
ness man. spending about ten years in
the wholesale grocery business and
thirty in the coal and Iron trade. in
thin he became a soldier in the Union
Army. and was DMMIO the sta-
tlon of Second ldeutehsnt.‘ it was not
until he was sixty years of age that he
came into national prominence. but
since that time he has been so widely
known and so significantly influential
that It is natural to regard him as a
lifelong politician. in recent. years he
was intimately associated with work
of the Civic Federation, an organiza-
tion established for the-moral adjust-
ment of labor troubles. His spirit and
words in this connection have been
worthy of the highest mmmendatlou.
In one of tits addressoanlie defines the
work of the Federation‘as an effort. to
establish a condition of absolute cort-
ttdcnct- between. employer and-1 em-
ployee. and declares “We remember
the tlnltlen Rule and try to live tip to
its principle. . This is the only way I
know to settle the dispute between
capital and labor."
lit the realm of politics Hanna is a
striking illustration of the fact that
the young man is not the only power
in the world of today Their are many
people who actually think that whens

Is no longer a factm in practical llfc
There are mmy men who reach the
“dead line" at sixty. but there are also
many who reach it at thirty. The late
Dr. A_ J. F. Behrcntitt, declared that
the dead lluc was nothing more than
the line of laziness. That Hanna never
reached such it line. the| last seven
years of his life moat positively silent
and that his persrnal influence was by
no means decllti ng with the advance
of years is proven by the fact that the
friends of Theodore Roosevelt were
exceedingly outdone to “remain listi-
nn' ii attitude toward Roosevelt' it noml
nation as the next President and were
gratified to know that on his last ride
from the Senate chamber to his hotel.
he reiterated his approval of Roosevelt
as nominee. The relation between

Kinley was most intimate and slice.
tionato. While it is probable that Han-
uo was not as many thought the power
behind the throne during McKinley's
administrations. he certainly was the
power that led to his enthroncment in
the popular and national heart. As

in modern American history. and that
