OFFICE OMRS Senator Joseph B. Foraker Pays a Notable Tribute to His Late Colleague. COL. HAY'S ESTIMATE Remarks of Scaker Cannon, Grover Cleveland, Governors Herrick and Odell. WASHINGTON'. I . C, Feb. 15. -There, were universal expressions of regret tonight among public men at the death caf Senator Hanna. all of them, without distinction qf party, saying that the countryhad lost dne of its most forceful and useful citizens. Senator Foraker sjiid: "The death of Semtor Hanna removes from public life one of our strongest and most capable leaders. His political successes have been most extraordinary, especially In view of the fact that he lacked sons of the qualities and accomplishments ore Inarily thought essential to a successful public career. He. was not a scholarly man. and yet he commanded the respect of the most learned. He was) not. In the ordinary sense, a student of state affairs, and yet he comprehended as by intuition every troublesome problem that arose and efficiently as led in its solution. He seldom participated in debate, and yet he wleldWl an influence in molding the executive will scarcely sc coral to any other member of the Senate. " The secret of his soccers was a strong intellectual endowment a keen pei-ceptlon and a courageous nature combined with a pleasing personality and a plain, direct. straightforward manner tha commanded respect and excited contidenec. He had an uncommon hold on the esteem and good will of ins countrymen. That has been strikingly manifested during his illness. The whole Nation has literally waited at his bedside for the final summons, and now all mourn his loss without regard to political differences. "'His long service in the Senate had pre- j ;areu nim ror stll1 grea.t.r useruiness oiinnf? the term for which he had just been reelected. It accentuates the misfortune we sustain that his death should have come at what is apparently so inopportune a moTrent. He will long live in the appreciative memory of the American people as a strikingly successful and typical product of American life and opportunities. His death is a great loss to his party, his State and the Nation." Governor Herrick, of Ohio, said: "Whatever I have accomplished in political life I owe to the unwearying friendship of President McKinley and Senator Hanna. When the senator was full of his own political burdens, he nevertheless found time to attach to himself hundred? and thousands of younger men. He helped them climb the ladder, assisted, advised and comforted. His death brings to these men an additional l pang, because now they can only pay trlb- I lit.- to his splendid and unselfish friendship. I without the opportunity hereafter of paying off their obligations. He was true to his friends at all times, and that will be his greatest epitaph." MEMBERS OF CABINET EXPRESS THEIR VIEWS WASHINGTON. Feb. 15. To Secretary Hay the death of Senator Hanna came as a great loss. "No one Who knew Senator Hanna." said Mr. Hay, "could fail to recognize in him those remarkable qualities of mind and heart that distinguished h?ai. He was a man in a thousand for generosity, honesty and loyalty. He was on-; of the truest friends that ever lfvi'd." Mr. Hay said that one at the most surprising things about Senator Hanna's career was the contrast between, the maji's true character and the cloud of calumny and vituperation that was rayade to surround his name by political opponents. Things that were attributed to him by thoughtless adversaries were precisely the things of which he was absolutely incapable. "Senator Hanna was the soul of honor, candor and open fair dealing." added Mr. Hay. "So far from being as some liked to consider him, a creator of trusts and organized wealth, he was one of the most !owerful and devoted champions of the aboring people this country has ever known. He believed in hü party. He was devoted to his friends and we will find, -now that he has gone, some of the truest mourners In the ranks of the opposition, as among them In his life he counted some of his most devoted friends. "Senator Hanna was a faithful and loyal friend of President McKinley, perhaps his most Intimate friend, anil their names always will be associated in our political history as types of disinterested friendship and mutual confidence." Secretary Hay concluded by saying that Jt sometimes had been spoken of as a reproach to Mr. Hanna thai he brought business principles into politics, which he certainly did. added Mr. Hay, if the foundation of correct business principles is a strict adherence to hörest and fair dealing. Secretary Wilson, the only member of President Roosevelt's Cabinet who entered orflce at the beginning of the MoKinley administration, had this to say of Senator Ii inna: "A remarkable development, possible only with our conditions, a business man whose knowledge of men and things came from contact with affairs. MicKinley's candidacy and the issues on which It rested brought him into public notice. His ability as an organiser was recognised then, and has bean Impressed upon th country since that time on many occasions. His consideration for workingmen and power with them have been ascertained as attributes of character. Senator Hanna's powers in legislation and before the people have come as surprises. He shortened his life by excessive devotion to his ideals of public duty, and leaves a vacancy th.it will not be tilled' soon and a name that will have a place in our history." Secretary Hitchcock said: "The Nation has lost a patriot and his personal friends and associates a lovable character, whose sterling qualities of head ajid heart found The Book Tells You How To Get Well at My Risk If you want to feel better.

their most congenial expression In promoting the progress and prosperity of his countrymen." Postmaster General Payne said: "My acquaintance with Senator Hanna is almost lifelong. I have known him intimately thirty-five years. In all the phases of life I have never known a truer man, a more devoted friend, and his death strikes nearer to me than I can express." Secretary Cortelyou said: "Senator Hanna's death is a personal grief to me. Circumstances brought me frequently In contact with him. and I came to know nim as one of the ablest of the really great men in public life. He was tue sturdiest of fighters in any cause he championed; he had stern convictions of his duty; he was great hearted, big brained and loyal to the supreme tests of friendship. Notwithstanding his remarkably rapid rise in national affairs and his commanding position before the people, he was modest and unassuming, and he was one of the most considerate of men. His death Is a great loss to the country." Secretary of the Treasury Shaw was deeply affected when the news of Senator Hanna's death was brought to him. Mr. Shaw said: "Senator Hanna was one of the noblest characters I ever knew. As a business man he was very successful; as a politician he ranks with the most potent; as a statesman he was broad-minded, far-seeing and Intensely patriotic, and as a. friend he was the truest of the true. Not by luck uor by eirc-umstanee did he work his way from a position quite generally misunderstood to mlversal respect and confidence. It was real character, real patriotism and real worth. His loss is national, and iu the sad bereavement the humblest will be participants." Secretary Taft said of Senator Hanna: "He was a marvel In politics. He had a remarkable grasp on public questions of the day. sand a simple, lucid and therefore most forcible way of stating the issues and supporting his conclusions. If his interests in public matters and his energy had not been so great I believe he would have lived ten years longer, but he would not allow considerations of life to restrict his energy and to prevent him accomplishing the good he had In mind." Secretary Taft said the senator won men by his straightforward methods, frankness and confidence. "It was by reason of these traits." added the secretary, "and the use of the same attractive qualities that the laboring man and the capitalist gave him the position of arbitrator between them a position which probably no man has occupied before him. That Is one of the reasons why the death of Senator Hanna is such a great loss to the country." HAVKRHILL. Mass.. Feb. 15. On learning of the death of Senator Hanna, Secretary of the Navy William Moody said: I regard the death of Senator Hanna as a great loss to the Republican party, to the Senate and to the Nation at large. He was a forceful man. and a man whose place it will be hard to nil." ODELL SAYS X AT ION HAS LOST GREAT MAX ALBANY, N. Y., Feb. 15. -Governor Odell to-night telegraphed to Mrs. Marcus A. Hanna an expression of his sorrow t-.nd sympathy with her In the death of Senator Hanna. Afterward he said: "Senator Hanna was certainly one of the country's great men. and the Nation loses In a very true and wise sense, even as do those who knew the senator personally. The many who did not come Into personal contact with him know him for his qualities and achievement as citizen and philanthropist. "I knew Senator Hanna somewhat well In the political relations of the first McKmley campaign. In the second campaign I came close to him and acquired a sincere personal regard for him. along with a great respect and admiration for him as a man of deep resourcefulness and pleasing personality. "In a very true sense he was the discoverer of Mckinley, and to his untiring and successful labors to place Mr. McKinley in the presidency the country owes a great obligation. Senator Hanna was really a great political leader, and the Republican party, as well as the Nation as a whole, will miss his character and services." FORCEFUL CITIZEN, SAYS MR. CANNON WASHINGTON, Feb. 15-Mr. Cannon, speaker of the House of Representatives, said this evening: "As business man. political manager and legislator, combining the qualifications which distinguish men in each of these groups. Mr Hanna was the most forceful citizen of the I'nlted States. Others may "have done greater work In each of these lines of endeavor, but no man of this or preceding times, so far as my recollection or study of our history goes, has combined these qualitlcations and deserved and won greater distinction in each ana all. And he, more than any cltiren of his time, welded these interests together, fulfilling the highest ideals of the statesman. To him the great business and labor interests and the great body of the people turned, having full confidence in his judgment and patriotism, making him the most trusted arbiter in the most important public questions arising for solution. His death is a public loss in the full measure of that expression." MR. CLEVELAND DEPLORES THE SENATOR'S DEATH PRINVKTON. N. J. Feb. 15.-Former President (Jrover Cleveland, when informed to-night of the death of Senator Marcus A. Hanna. p.iid him the following tribute: "My relations with Mr. Hanna were onlysuch as grew out of our association as members of the National Mvic Federation. He was active In the work of that body and sincerely devoted to the adjustment of differcno-f. between employers and employes. He was of great service in the work of the f. 'deration, and what he said and was able to do In accomplishing its objects made him a useful man. His loss cannot tail to t. greatly felt in more than one field of valuable endeavor." MraaaKc from l. M. Parry. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON. Feb. 5-The following telearram was received by Mrs. Hanna from I). M. Parry, of Indianapolis: "Accept my deepest sympathy in this, your hour of affliction. The world has lost a great and good man; the I'nlted States die of its most far-seeing stateymen; the business Interests the most stalw irt figure that stood for decency. Justice and Industrial peaci We may differ with a good man and yet yield to him our sincere respect."

He was a man of extraordinary force of character and wonderful ability. His loss will be keenly felt by the Republican party." -r Representative Watson said: "I regarded him as the ablest man in the country. I think he was the strongest man in the I'nlted States Senate, and this was evidenced In his discussion of the isthmian canal. I believe his Influence, more than that of any other man. turned the attention of the Senate and the country to the Panama route in preference to the Nicaraguan route. His ability to manage men made him the most adroit political leader of his time. I regard his death as a distinct loss to the country." f "No man in American history has accomplished so much in so short a time as Senator Hanna," said Representative Overstreet. "Coming into public life after he had achieved great success In the commercial field, he became the master of party organization, a leader In legislation and exponent of those principles which appealed directly to capital and labor. It is to be hoped that his efforts and example in the cause of labor will not go unrewarded." JOHN E. MONK. REPUBLICAN EDITORS RECALL VISIT TO HANNA Several members of the executive committee of the Indiana Republican Editorial Association were here for a meeting last evening, and their talk turned naturally to the death of Senator Hanna.

BRIEF HISTORY OF OF SENATOR

His Rue to Eminence in Business, Politics and Statesmanship Due to Indomitable Will and Stanch Integrity

Marcus Alonzo Hanna was born in New Lisbon, O.. on Sept. 24. 1837. the sou of Dr. Leonard and Samantha Converse Hanna. and has lived in Cleveland since 1S52. He was educated iu the common schools of his native town and in Western Reserve Col lege. In 1900 Kcnyon College conferred on : him the degree of LL. D. On Sept. L'T. 1S6I. he married C. Augusta, daughter of Daniel P. Rhodes, of Cleveland. He became an employe and later a partner in the Rhodes wholesale grocery house, and later embarked in the coal and iron business and became a director of the Globe Ship Manufacturing Company; head of M. A. Hanna & Co.. coal; president of the Uuiou National Bank, president of the Cleveland City Railway Company, all of Cleveland, and president of the Chapin Mining Company. Lake Superior. He has been chairman of the Republican national committee since 1896, and conducted the campaigns w hich secured the nomination, election and re-election of William McKinley as President. He was elected senator from Ohio in 1897 by a margin of one vote, and In January. 19o4. was reelected by the largest majority ever given a I'nited States senator In Ohio. Such, in brief, was the career of a great man. It. however, gives little idea of the personality of the great captain of industry and political field general. People will ask what manner of man was he? What elements of citizenship did he possess that entitled him to a place in the highest Republican legislative body in the world? How diii it happen that after failing to make John Sherman President of the Cnited States he was twice a potential factor in electing William McKinley to the presidency? What did this man Hanna do In his life and with his life that he should become so conspicuous and influential in helping other men to write history within the span of his own day? All the American people did not know Senator Hanna. He was presented to them by cartoonists and by paragruphers iu all manner of grotesque disguises. There was no true, there was not even an approximately accurate image of this man iu the minds of the American public. PORTRAIT OF THE MAN. The sketch of Senator Hanna that is here essayed is no attempt at eulogy. It is rather an attempt to present the man one of the most forceful In his generation in his true colors. It is an effort to show exactly what Hanna was and why he was what he was. It is written in a spirit of portraiture and not of flattery. Despite the prominent position that he occupied before the public during the last eight years, and even longer, it is a singular fact that the published accounts of the birthplace, the early life and the mental and social development of Marcus Alonzo Hanna have been inaccurate. Aside from the formal and meager record that appears in the Congressional Directory, every account of Senator Hanna's life has been filled with errors of statement. It may be well, therefore, at the beginning, to set the record straight. The bare outline will go far to show what manner of man was developed by early environment, constant struggle and unremitting Industry. It may be seen that the influences of ancestry, as well as the Impress of environment. bore about the same relation to Individual force of character In the development of Mr. Hanna as in the case of many another American citizen who has grown prominent in both business and public life. As already stated in the brief summary, Mr. Hanna was born at Lisbon. Columbiana county. Ohio. Sept. 24. 137. When he was five years old his father moved to Cleveland, where he organized the firm of Hanna, Garretson & Co.. wholesale grocers, with a trade extending into the Lake Superior re gion. This was an important point in young Hanna's life. It was the period of his boyhood development and of whatever schooling he received. To those familiar with Senator Hanna's wide range of reading and his power of logical thought and eloquent expression, the brief period of his formal education will be a surprise. We do not know whether the boy Hanna had more than the average home training. There is no record of how much wisdom he absorbed at his mother's kn1. nor of how much information he acquired from contact with playmates or in association with his father. It is certain that he attended the public schools of Cleveland during four years, and that he afterward spent two terms in the Western Reserve Academy. FIRST PCBLIC OFFICE. Brief as was Hanna's schooling, he always entertained a sense of profound gratitude for what he did receive of this kind of education. The American system of schools always commanded his earnest and hearty support. It is worth noting that the first public office ever held by Mr. Hanna was that of a member of the Board of Education of Cleveland. He always encouraged young men to acquire all the book learning possible, and. whatever their occupation In life, to keep up a regular course of reading and study. Young Hanna began his first serious work in life when he was twenty years old. Then, in the year 1857. he went to work as a clerk in his father's store. His pay was not large and his duties were arduous. But he shrank from nothing. He was determined to learn the wholesale grocery business from beginning to end. During this time his father became ill, so that an Increasing weight of responsibility fell upon the shoulders of the young clerk. In 1S2 the long illness of the elder Hanna ended in death. It fell to the lot of the son to represent the interest of his father's estate In settling up the affairs of Hanna, Garretson & Co., a task which was not completed until 1867. In 1864 young Hanna married Miss C. Augusta Rhodes, daughter of Hon. Daniel D. Rhodes, of Cleveland. As soon as he had finished his connection with the grocery business, and upon the retirement of his father-in-law from active commercial life, Mr. Hanna organized the firm of Rhodes & Co.. which engaged In the coal and iron business. This was a business. It will be seen, that was to engage subsequently the chief part of Mi. Hanna's attention and energy. Not long afterward Mr. Hanna. with his brother. Leonard C, formed the firm of M. A. Hanna & Co., successors to Rhodes & Co. Having thus embarked in business on his own account. Mr. Hanna began his period of Independent commercial development He organized several collateral tnterets. which Included tho mining of iron ore and of coal, the building and operation of vessels on the lakes, and the formation of the Cnion National Bank of Cleveland in 1888. In addi tion to these interests Mr. Hanna for many years was president of the Cleveland City Railway Company. He was interested in the manufacture of pig iron, having the controlling interest in furnaces In Buffalo and In western Pennsylvania. He also had othr manufacturing lnteiests in Ohio. It is to be observed that in the course of his business CSJfJST Mr. Hanna engaged in the mining of both coal and iron ore. More important still, he engaged in their transportation. It was his brain that recognized the importance of the bringing together of these two raw materials at some meeting place made economic by natural conditions. It is this union of the ore and the fuel tha. has been most potent In the wonderful i -velopment of American iron and steei industries. INTEREST IN POLITICS. Senator Hanna always took a keen Interest in pottttDfc Long before his name became tt all conspicuous in this way he was active at primary elections. He believed attendance upon primaries to be his duty as a citizen. He believed that an lnt rest in public questions and a share in their determination were only a part of the compensation he owed to his country for the privih ges he enjoyed of civil liberty and of equality as an American citizen. The first presidential campaign in which Mr. Hanna took an active part was that of 18S0. when Oeneral Garfield was the Republican nominee. In that year, with several other business men of Cleveland. Mr. Hanna organized the Business Men's League This organization, starting in Cleveland, quickly extended through several State. and proved to be a great factor In the election of Garfield. That exerience gave Mr. Ilanr.a his first appreciation of the power that could be wielded in politics, both in CCnvetttkNM and in election, by a syst -nisi ic uganizatlou of the buaiuvaa interests

THE CAREER MARCUS A. HANNA

of the country. Every o:e knows how. since that time, this wholesome factor has become more and more influential in the domestic and foreign policies of national aindnistrations. In lw4 Mr. Hanna took a yet more active although not a successful part in President-making. He was a delegate at large from Ohio to the national convention, which he attended in the interest of John Sherman. Mr. Sherman was not nominated. Four years later Mr. Hanna attended the Republican national convention as a delegate from the Cleveland district. 'Again he was one of the coterie of men who directed the cause of Sherman, and again he shared in Sherman's defeat. But there he saw Congressman McKinley put aside from him, In his loyalty to Shetman. the possibility of a presidential nomination. He saw there, also, as he had begun to perceive it four years earlier, that there was a growing sentiment in the country for McKinley as a rising statesman. In K'2 Mr. Hanna attended the convention at Minneapolis, not as a delegate, but as an interested onlooker. There he watched Mr. McKinley preside over the convention. There he saw the renomination of President Harrison, the rejection of Mr. Blaine, and again he saw balloting for McKinley, against the latter's protest. Mr. Hanna recognized the sweep of the tide toward McKinley and in favor of the principle of a protective tariff. WORK FOR M'KINLEY. Mr. Hanna thereupon set to work to crystallize this sentimen for McKinley Into practical form. This work became especially active in the spring of when Mr. Hanna began the task of securing delegates to the natiosal convention for McKinley. These efforts culminated In success at the St. Louis convention. It was but logical that the man whose unflagging faith in the ability of the favored candidate, for whose success he had striven so strenuously against a formidable although not united opposition, should be called upon to work for the election of the candidate whose nomination he had j accomplished. The management of that campaign and of the second McKinley campaign is too recent history to need recounting here. After the election of 1S96 Mr. Hanna considered that his activity in politics had come to an end. He believed that he had done his duty as a patriot by influencing the Republican party in the right direction aud in striving for the election of a President whose policy and whose attitude toward legislation would safeguard busine.-s Interests and promote social and moral elevation. It was Mr. Hanna's full Intention to return to private business life. He was devoid of nersoriMl amhfrinn t is no news DOW to say that Mr. Hauna declined an invitation to enter the first Cabinet of I "resident McKinley. It is equally well known that, failing to secure Mr. Hanna's aid iu his immediate official household, the President urged him to become a candidate for the Senate to fill the vacancy caused by the selection of Senator Sherman as secretary of state. It is self-evident that Mr. Hanna, having full knowledge of the legislative training and being in perfect sympathy with the theories of President McKinley, could be of the greatest assistance iu promoting that harmony between the executive and legislative branches of the government which the President was known to desire, in marked contrast to his immediate predecessor. This was the disinterested motive which led Mr. Hanna to enter the Senate. When he accepted the appointment to the seat that had so long and honorably been held by Mr. Sherman, it was not his intention to seek an election to a full term. But such an effort was made In 1897 by John R. McLean to secure the election of a Democratic Legislature in Ohio, that it became important to make a strong contest to retain this seat. Thus circumstances and a sense of duty compelled Mr. Hanna to go into that struggle. He did not enter it, however, until his prospective candidacy had been unanimously Indorsed by the Republican State convention, and had received the approval of eighty-three out of the eighty-eight counties of the State. A BITTER STRUGGLE. Then began a most bitter struggle. Mr. Hanna. as chairman of the Republican national committee, had encountered contumely and abuse during the previous presidential campaign. But he was now to encounter the slings and arrows of the partisan politics of Ohio. It wras to be the most severe struggle he had yet encountered. It was during this battle that Mr. Hanna for the first time went upon the stump. This was a new development in his public life. He had never considered himself a speaker and had confined his previous efforts to directing, in an executive capacity, the distribution of oratory. But now he was to speak for himself, in his own State, before his own constituents, and not only for himself, but to save a seat In the Senate to the Republican party during a critical period In legislation. The battle waj won. Senator Hanna's great-grandfather came to this country from the north of Ireland, and back of that his ancestry has been traced to Scotland. Here we have that Scotch-Irish strain which has made itself felt in our national history in the person alities of a score of eminent men. Senator ! Hannas grandfather was born in Virginia and. in accordance with the customs of that colony, was "bound out" to a Quaker family. Hence comes the tradition that the Hannas are themselves Quakers, which would be a rather curious doctrinal affinity for one of Scotch-Irish descent. However, the grandfather accompanied this Quaker family when it emigrated to Ohio. Senator Hanna's mother is of New England descent, having been born In Randolph. Vt.. Her father was of Pennsylvania Dutch descent, so that in Senator Hanna that strain of blood was added to the Scotch-Irish. HIS BUSINESS CAREER. It has been said that about 90 per cent, of all men who engage in business ventures has in some period encountered failure or serious disaster. It is not known that in all his business career Mr. Hanna ever met with a catastrophe, although, of course, his expectations may not have always been realized. His business associates knew that it was with him a cardinal principle never to contract a debt to whose payment he could not see a clear way, and never to live beyond his income. It is a fact that no business obligation of Mr. Hanna was ever dishonored. It was another fact that no one, either in politics or business, will dispute that Mr. Hanna never failed to keep an agreement, written or verbal. It is another fact that he exerted himself to the utmost always to keep capital over which he had control in active employment. With him nothing, men or money, was stagnant. Those who knew Senator Hanna best say that he liked to study, and that he took pride in his ability to diagnose human nature and to perceive the true character of others. His Pennsylvania Dutch blood may have transmitted to him a certain stability, but the Scotch-Irish in him made him by disposition naturally buoyant. He was a man of high courage of a courage, indeed, that was only stimulated by opposition. He was one of those men who "never say die." who never give up, who never quit until the last chance of success has been thoroughly explored and exhausted. Of all successful men in this world, the chronicle invariably contains two words, "hard work." This was as true of Senator Hanna. All his life long, since he slept on the counter In his father's store and worked from dawn until night, until he labored through equally long hours in the guidance of two great presidential campaigns, Mr. Hanna met aud encountered the task iu front of him. whatever It was, up to the full limit, flxed by his strength aud health. Whatever partisan criticism may say about Mr. Hanna. his associates of the Senate, upon both sides of that chamber, learned to know that he never undertook au thing in public affairs except from thoroughly patriotic motives. If Mr. Hanna was a partisan, it was through principle; If he advocated a particular piece of legjsiaI lion, it was from conviction. If he favored or opposed the promotion or the confirmation of a man In the public service, it was ht-t au of his help t in his ability to gauge the character and qualifications of such a man. As a man. Mr. Hanna was kind-hearted, sympathetic, genial In manner, and earnestly desirous to hlp those who were willing to help themselves.

prosperous member of a Christian community In this respect. He found a pleasure In helping others and in concealing the good he did. it would be hard to guss the sum he annually spent in this beneficent manner, for not even those who were intim.it' with him were aware of it. He once said, in answer to an Inquiry, that to him half the pleasure in aiding others was in keeping it to one's self. Mr. Hanna's religion was the golden rule. His widow is a devout Episcopalian, and Mr. Hanna was for mauy years a v stryman of St. John's Chu-'ch in Cleveland. Hut with him religion was a practice, rather than a theory. MR. HANNA'S FORESIGHT. It has been said that Mr. Hanna was one of the first to recognize the economic Importance of bringing iron ore and coal together. There is not space here to dwell upon the eflf.ct which thlH union played In the development of the iron and steel industries. But it is certain that this economy In processes of production, brought about thmugh skillful arrangements of transportation, played a most import. int part in the commercial growth of the I'nlted States. The exports of the finished steel from the United States during the hist six months of 1900 were at the rate of 1.000,000 tons a year. Now. this Is but the beginning, and yet that export product represents the consumption of 2.000.000 tons of iron ore and 2.000.000 tons of coke, made out of 2,500.000 tons of coal. These are vast figures, and it must be left to the imagination to guess how great a quantity of labor is employed in digging these raw materials, in transporting them to the furnaces, in smelting them and in making the pig iron Into finished steel. In doing this combinations of capital pay in the I'nlted States almost double the wages for labor that are paid in Kngland. and yet the labor cost In the finished product is about one-half what It i in England. It was the ingenuity, the enterprise and the persistence of such business citizens as Mr. Hanna that made such wonderful achievements possible. It has been said of Mr. Hanna in his relations to labor that he never had a strike. This Is not strictly true. As an employer Mr. Hanna encountered several strikes. These, however, were not Important, and he always went as far as the utmost stretching of justice would permit In settling them. He was not a man who could be driven, nor was he a man who naturally sought the path of least resistance. Moi -ertheless he believed thoroughly in the most amicable relations between labor and capital, as tending to their mutual advantage and to the upbuilding of the entire community. There is one chapter of Mr. Hanna's life, a very brief chapter, to which occasional allusion has been made in the public prints, but about which is little known. That is his association with dramatic art. Just by an accident one day in 1875. while going from his ofhVe to lunch in Cleveland, Mr. Hanna observed a crowd about the Euclidavenue Opt ra Hons.-, whl h was l-ir.g knocked down at auction under a foreclosure. Mr. Hanna quickly formed a pool of his business friends and bought the opera house. Afterward several of those who had joined him In this impulsive enterprise backed out, and Mr. Hanna found himself with the opera house on his hand. He made an arrangement with Its manager which did not prove financially successful. But it was through this accidental connection that he b.-came acquainted with such artifts as Jefferson, Booth, Barrett, Sullivan, McCullough and Crane all men worth knowing and all of whom appealed to the happiest and most sympathetic side of Mr. Hanna's nature. He found in their society an Intellectual stimulus which sharpened his wit- for the sterner realities

of the business and political world. THAT FA MOTS (,OLD BLANK. Much has been said In reviewing recent political history concerning the authorship of the famous gold plank In the Republican national platform of l-y6. By some the authorship of that platform has been attributed to Mr. Hanna, by others variously to Messrs. Blatt Ol New York, lxwig.- of Massachusetts, and Kohlsaat of Chicago. The truth about this is that Mr. McKinhy wrote that gold plank himself. He wrote, it in pencil upon a piece of paper upon Mr. Hanna's desk in Mr. Hanna s office In I 1 eland before Mr. Hanna started on his journey to th" St. Iuis couveution. Aft - rward at St. LtOUta Mr. Hanna listen, d to all the turmoil and conflicting advice about him, but he stuck steadfastly to the M Kinley plank, ami that was the plank adopted by the convention. The personal relations letween Senator Hanna and President McKinley were cemented by many years of .-lose association into most intimate friendship. But the senator had quite as much respect for the serious responsibility and xalted dignity of the presidency as M Kinley entertained an appreciation of the loyal cooperation of the senator. If any politicians of either party imagined at the beglnnlug of the first McKinley administration that Mr. Hanna was to exercise a disproportionate influence over either appointments or legislation, they stton learned their mlsUkc. iu fact, M careful were both men not

It was a common saying 1n Washing t" i that President McKinley repeatedly Distill the statement I" ompn sici::il .tilers in the White House, "Senator Hanna has asked less of me and has yielded more tme than has any other senator of tin I'nlted States." AFTER M KINLEY'S DEATH The assassination of President McKinley at Buffalo was a severe blow to Senator Hanna, and it was remarked by those who saw him at the funortl that be had aged years during the few däys following the shooting of his lifelong friend. Following the death of the President Mr. Hanna took up the work of the Civic Federation, and devoted mueh time, energy and money to the betterment of civic conditions, especially insofar as they were affected by tl e relations of capital and labor. The part he took in the various negotiations leading up to the settlement of the anthracite nil no strike in IV nnsylvania and in other labor troubles caused a complete revulsion of feeling on the part of the laboring men, especially on the part of union labor, and as the harmonious relations of Mr. Hanna and his own employes for many years 1came more fully known and appreciated they added to the influences working in his behalf until it was safe to say that no man certainly no re preventative of the moneyed class occupied so high a position In the regard of union labor as did Mr. Hanna. Politics, especially the active politics of his own State, occupied much of Mr. Hanna's attention and his strength was manifested to the full in the State campaign of 1903, when he took the stump for Colon l Herrick, next to himself probably Mr. McKinley 's closest friend, and in several important towns of the State before he was taken sick, raided his v against M Tom L. Johuson, of Cleveland. He was considered tin- most effective campaigner sent out in the State, especially in the manufacturing centers, and this coat flop was amply borne out by the magnitude of the Republican victory, the majority for II - rrick being unprecedented and the leislat i e majority returned enabling the re-eJectkia. of Mr. Hauna to the I'nlted States Senate by the largest majority on Joint ballot ever given to a senator in Ohio. Mr. Hanna made few speeches in the Sen ate. but he was not unready In a colloquial cross-fire debate, and was a very Industrious and effective committee' worker. crowning joy o wo nan -hood is motherhood and the crowning joy of motherIs ood ia to hsve h ealthy children.
