OPINION
A raging debate over the future of President William McKinley
v LETTERS
Arcata outgrows McKinley
Statues serve as a tangible reminder of
the principles and ideals that were import-
ant to the people that that put them up.
They can also serve as a rallying point to
keep alive a particular attitude or point of
view.
They are often placed to honor certain
people or events that hold some signifi-
cance in our culture.
I have often wondered if there was some-
thing so special about William McKinley
that the people of Arcata rallied around
this monument or if it was just a gift from
a wealthy donor that served to dress up
