ALUMNI AT BANQUET BOARD
High School Graduates Hold Hap
Ply Reunion.
Supt. E. T. Critchett Presides as
POSTMASTER.
Program is Followed by Election
of Officers.

On Saturday night the banquet of
the Alumni Association of the New
Ulm High School was held at the Da-
kota House. Thirty-seven places were
filed and all who were present felt
that the first venture of the associa
ton was a success. Promptly at nine
O'Clock the banqueters took their seats
at the table and the courses of a very
palatable spread were brought on.
After having done justice to the same,
Prof. E. T. Critchett, acting as toast
master for the evening, gave a short
sketch of the work that had been done
by the pupils of the high school, and
then introduced Mayor Silverson as
the first speaker. The subject which
had been given to Mr.. Silverson was
'sThe Business Man." a topic in
which the mayor seemed perfectly at
home. He gave an interesting and
practical talk on the requisites of the
making of business man, naming as
the three prime qualities honesty, in
dustry and self-reliance. DR.. George
B. Weiser followed with response to
the "The School Board. The genial
doctor dwelt briefly on the trials of a
member Of the school board and spoke
of the past and present relations of a
member of the alumni to the board
Miss Katie Russell then recited an
original poem written especially for
the occasion, which was very we'll re-
ceived. Albert Pfaender was then
called to respond, as a representative
of the classes before>the present sys-
tenn of the high school went into effect,
and handled the subject "The Law
yer,' interspersing his remarks with
numerous jokes at the expense of his
profession. Miss Minnie Silverson,
now teacher in the school, had taken
as her subject ''The Alumni Associa-
tion," and made a plea that the organ
ization should be kept up by all means.
To Clarence Mowery the subject of
"Athletics in the High SCHOOL, had
been given. He recounted briefly what
the boys of the New Ulm high school
! had done in this department.. He end
ed with this advice: ''Boys, be athlet-
ic if you want to be DID, old men
girls, don't be athletic unless you
want to live to be old, old maids
Tom Collins responded to the toast
"College Life, y declaring that as 9
whole it meant more hard work thar
was generally thought to be the case
Cleveland Frederick was the las
speaker on the program, speaking OF
the subject, The Glass of 1904

l have felt very much interested in this,
not because it disp1aces any man I
care anything about. but because, in
my judgment, it is the entering wedge
for a system that will destroy the
American army, or, at least, will de-
stroy that spirit that has prevailed
among all officers of the army up to
the present time. When you step in
here and take a man who has no mill
tary claim and promote him over his
seniors in time of peace, and shut
these men out absolutely, leaving them
no hope that they may ever attain what
they have a right to hope to attain,
you have taken the greatest step to-
ward the destruction of the best prin-
ciple of the American army that has
ever been taken.
II want to say that others have been
left who had greater military merit
than Gen. Wood, and did not get
maior-genera1ships. And I think my
self, to be frank about it, that he has
got all the military distinction that he
ought to have in the brigadier-gcneral-
ship which he has, and there he ought
to stop: and it ought to be good ex-
cuse why he is not promoted to the
maior-generalship that he is not a
trained soldier; because the same rea-
son will be given why he should be
made lieutenant general as is now
given for his being made major gen
eral. If we have war while he is at
the head OF the army there will not be
a man, boy or woman in the United
States who will not know that he is
not fit to command"

to merit at the present time. If he is
the best man he should be promoted.
If he is not tile best man, then follow
the precedent and select the best man.
=. Have you given the president
the benefit of your opinion? A. No,
Sir, I have not. have not had anv
conversation with the president on
this. Shortly after the occupation of
the island of Cuba had letter from
Col. Roosevelt, as he was then, saying
that he had been to the secretary of
war and had urged my appointment as
the proper man to command in the is
land of Cuba. He said he had gone to
the president and urged him to make
the appointment. The president, for
reasons which Col. Roosevelt regarded
as being definitive, and which you,
Senator Foraker, confirmed, declined
to make the appointment. Later had
another interview with Mr.. Roosevelt,
after he had been elected vice-presi-
dent of the United States, at his house
at Sycamore Hill. He began then in
rather extravagant terms of praise of
Gen. Wood, whereupon I said to him:
Gov. Roosevelt, I think you are
perhaps mistaken about that. If am
correctly informed, Gen. Wood was
never under fire in his life until the
Spanish war began, either in the Ger
onimo campaign or at any other time.
In the Spanish war he was never in
but one battle, and that at Las Guas-
imas, where but for his rescue and
support by the colored troops he would
have been badly handled"
"Oh, yes," said Mr.. Roosevelt, che
was at San juan"
To which I replied: "I beg your
pardon. he was not. You know that
he was in the rear looking for ammuni-
ton"
eyes," said he, "but do not tell any
body"
Now, why did he not want me to tell
anybody I do not know. 1 did not pur-
Sue the subject any further, and that
is the last word that has ever passed
between us with reference to Gen.
Wood
OF equal interest is statement
made by Senator Teller at the opening
session of the committee, and more i'm
portant, too, as showing the temper
of the man who will carry into the
Senate the fight against the confrma-
ton Of Gen. Wood. Senator Teller
said:
"1 do not know how much pains you
gentlemen have taken to know what
the feeling of the army is. I have been
somewhat amazed at it myself. I have
seen the old veterans who have gone
through the civil war, who have been
in fifty or hundred battles as great
as he ever took part in or witnessed
himself. stepping aside for this man,
who never had any training, and in
order that he might be promoted.
can say here what, perhaps, I would
hesitate to say in the open Senate,
that this has been done, absolutely by
the partiality of the executive, and I
believe every man around this table
must recognize this fact, that it is by
the partiality of the executive and not
from merit. Or, if it is from merit, it
is from merit in civil branch of the
government and not in the military.

The construction placed on this in
