PRESIDENT SPEAKS BRIEFLY AT WAUKESHA, WIS, AND TELLS HIS HEARERS THE U. S. MUST BE POWERFUL ON THE SEA.

Waukesha, Wis, April 3.-The President spoke here briefly on his way to Milwau- kee saying in part:
 q believe with all my heart in this nation playing it's part manfully and well. I believe that we are now, at the outset of the twentieth century, face to face with great world problems; that we cannot help playing the part of a great world power, but all we can decide is whether we shall play it well or i'll. I do not want to see us shrinking from the least bit of duty. We have taken during the last five years not only a position of far greater importance in this western hemis- phere than ever before, but We have taken a position of more importance in the fartherest Orient than we have ever here tofore attained. We must hold our own, for if we show ourselves weddings we will earn the contempt of mankind and what is more of consequence our own contempt but l would like to impress upon every public man, upon every writer in the press the fact that strength should go hand in hand with courtesy, with scrupulous regard in word and deed, not only for the rights but the failings of
 
 his own part. But on the other hand, I have the greatest contempt for a man who is always walking about wanting to pick quarrel or wanting to say some- thing unpleasant about some one else. The fact that he talks loud, does not mean necessarily that he fights hard either. Now, I want the same thing to be true of us as a nation. l am always sorry whenever I see any reflection that kA
 friendly nation; and the saying of any thing unkind, unjust or inconsiderate about any foreign nation, does not do us any good.
 Now am sure you will not misunder- stand me; I am sure it is needless for me to say that l do not believe the United States should ever suffer wrong would be the first to ask that we re- sent a wrong from the strong, just as I would be the first to insist that we do not wrong the weak Keep the navy up to the highest point of efficiency"
