The president of the United States is shot and it doesn't rate a bigger headline than this? The headline part is relegated to one of six headlines? That seems really strange. What qualifies as big news?

I tell ya I get no respect.

The odd thing about it is that McKinley was, at the time, the most popular President in the post civil-war era.

Huh? Looked at the front page; the article takes up half a page.

They were less hysterical in those days, i think and didn't need screaming headlines.
