HENRY WATTERS0N
Deals With the Monroe Doctrine
--Mongrel Government In
South America.

Mr.. Henry Watterson, speaking
at dinner given him by the Big
hamton Press club said:
Fifty years from today Ger
many will bear the same relative
position to the United States as
Holland does now. Fifty years
from today, unless the United
States places sustaining hands un-
der John Bulls arms, God knows
what will become of him..
THE Monroe doctrine or Re-
publioanism is no longer on trial;
it is monarchy that is in danger.
The president Of the United Sta
ties today has tenfold more power
than The king of England and the
emperor of Germany. II accord
ingly may be we'll for us to sit
down and see what the Monroe
doctrine is. We have said that no
European power shall acquire ter.
ritory on this continent.
IF We are going to protect
every little mongrel nation in
order to uphold the Monroe doc
trine, why let's pay Germany her
debt and tell her to get out. But
if We start on this course We will
need an enlarged navy and a large
army.
IF l owned this government 4
would take the Isthmus of Panama
and blow out canal a mile wide
so as to let the two oceans flow to-
gether. Then l would say to Eng
land: Take all OF South America
that you want, and to Germany,
Take ali of Central America that
you want l would greatly prefer
to have England and Germany in,
those countries than the mongrel
governments that are there now"

Former governor Bob Taylor Of
Tennessee. says he is out of poll
tics-he is now seeking happiness
This is Of Importance to those
who are never struggling for polit
ical supremacy, as it comes from
a man who has been and might
still be a success politically. Gov.
Taylor says: rs
II will explain what constitutes
my ideal life of happiness: A nice
farm Of 70 acres, about five miles
from a small country town, with a
clear stream of water traversing
its entire length. In the rear of
{ he house must be smoke house,
filled with fine meat; then a barn,
with pair OF good coachers and
saddle horses, a spring house and
four head of blooded shorthorns,
four or FIVE peacocks, drove of
geese and ducks to sport in the
stream, and a nice little orchard
of growing trees.
"Such is the one spot where
man, born of woman, can find
real enjoyment. Every Saturday
l would want to saddle my horse
and ride to town for my paper, Ia
country weekly and l would only
want to receive it on Saturdays,
80 l could read it. When l reach.
ed town I'd like to meet two or
three friends and stand in front
of the corner grocery, chew to-
bacco and swap yarns.

new and much larger building will be
erected on Third street. The entire
block between Second and Third street

The new church building will be of

$4,000. 1t was formerly the intention

for the purpose. This was sold and it

Actions and Words.

Here's sentiment worthy to keep in
your mind
AS you travel through life, for it's
true you will tina
That you're not so much valued by
what you may say,
AS by what you may do in practical
way;
For unless you perform what you say
you can do,
Grave doubts will arise that you're
honest and true.
Though your voice be as sweet as the
song of the birds,
Remember that actions speak louder
than words.
Nor would discourage the message
that cheers,
Or the prayers, or the blessings Of
sympathy's tears;
They are always in order-they help
in their way
To hasten the dawn Of millennial
day.
But little more gold sandwiched in
with your prayers
Would Danish more tears and tighten
more cares.
Though your voice be as sweet as
the song of the birds,
Remember that actions speak louder
than words.

The Catholic Sick Room.

In series of interesting articles by
the Rev. J. r. Splain, S. j., published
in the Cross of Halifax, N. S., the
writer says of newly born infants:
If child at it's birth seems to be al
ready in danger Of death, send without
delay for priest. In the meantime,
be on the watch, and if you think it &C.
tually dying, take some water cold or
warm, and, while pouring few spoon
fuls on its head, say the words: IT
baptize thee in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and Of the Holy
Ghost"
This is sufficient, but it is more cor
rect to pour the water in the shape
Of cross three times, at the words
Father, Son, Holy Ghost
AS this is very important matter,
every Catholic, especially every Catho-
lie woman, ought to learn from some
qualified persons how to do it properly.
In cases of miscarriage, even in the
early stages of conception, baptism
ought to be conferred by the nurse, If
neither priest nor Catholic doctor
is at hand. When it is doubtful whether
the subject is alive or not, make a
reservation in your own mind to the
effect that you have no intention Of
baptizing anything but a living human
being.
Here we make a serious protest
against delaying baptism, no matter
how healthy the child may be. Some
people think nothing Of putting 1t off
for a week or fortnight. Babies are
flimsy things, and the first care of
mother or father should be to secure
for it eternal life in heaven. If the
god parents live at distance, or can.
not come at once, never mind-get
proxy.

Bulwer, as a witness, thus describes
the scene, as if that voice did reach
them all:
"once to my sight the giant thus was

Walled by wide air and rooted by
boundless heaven.
Beneath his feet, the human ocean lay,
And wave on wave flowed into space

Methought no clarion could have sent

And as I thought, rose the sonorous

AS from some church-tower swings the

To the last verge of that vast audience
