Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1904-11-30

stupid George Ill in Bowling Green,
bronze Friedrich the Great in Washing
ton The lesson that the president
drew from this last event was that the
iron soldier of Germany had devoted
his life to the service Of great people
that his undaunted resolution, his in
flexible tenacity of purpose, his far
sighted grasp Of lofty possibilities, and
his unyielding determination in follow
ing the path he had marked out. were
lessons to admire and ponder. Mr..
Mr.. Roosevelt admired the virile and
masterful virtues, of Frederick. which
alone make victors.
Sunday afternoon, the goth inst, the
President addressed a vast throng OF
people which crowded the streets in
the vicinity of the new parochial
schools of St. Patrick's church. Car
dinal Gobbons, number Of Bishops
and many clergy were present The
president was especially glad to see
children present. Il want to see
enough of them" he said, land Of the
right kind" The lesson he wished to
teach was. that the future of the
country must depend upon the quality
of the individual man or woman in
that home. He wished to see sweet
ness and strength developed in Ameri-
can citizens. He added that this is
not government designed to favor
the rich man as such or the poor man
as such.
When. on Tuesday last the presi-
dent introduced Rev. Charles Wagner.
author of ''The Simple Life" to u
Washington audience, he announced
that it would be the only time during
his presidency that he would make
such an introduction. In the remarks
which followed he declared that NJ
Republic can permanently exist where
there is class hatred-the poor should
not envy the rich; the rich should not
be arrogant toward the poor. There
should be kind feeling between all
men; spirit of helpfulness, and re-
alization of the brotherhood of man.
The President would have men APP
preciated for their real worth, and not
for any accidental position they may
hold in society. He commended the
work of the Y. M. G. A. and of the
| Civic Association in New York city
The Mckinley slate of officeholders
is to be wiped pretty. clean after the
4th of next March. The president
having fulfilled his obligations to his
lamented predecessor is not in favor
of holdovers, or third term men, save
in exec ptional cases. as with the Sec
rotary Of state. and the secretary OF
agriculture. Mr.. Moody is to remain
as attorney general. 1t is assumed
! that Messrs. Taft, Morton and Metcalf
will remain in the Cabinet, although
Mr.. Morton gives up a salary OF
| $50 900. TO do so. As predicted long
ago by your correspondent, Mr.. White
law Reid is to be the new ambassador
to the court of St. James. Mr.. w. w.
Rockhill will go as minister to China.
The Am bassador to Mexico, Mr.. CLAW
ton will retire. 1t is intimated that
| Gen. Porter, Ambassador to France,
| will be called home. The new com
missioner of Indian affairs is to be Mr..
Francis E. Leupp. Senator Cockrell
can have his choice of two commits
ps-Interstate commerce or
the Panama canal. These rapid
changes and announcements indicate
that the president intends to run the
ship Of state for the coming four wears
with new crew.
The coming congress will have some
| pretty hard nuts to crack. The cues.
ton of finances begins to loom up in
the shape of large appropriations and
possible necessity for economy Il
is thought the expenditures for public
works during the fiscal year 1904 will
be larger than for any previous year
in the history of the country 1t is
easy to move along splendidly in the
path of progress with an overhowins
treasury, but if receipts fall beiow ex
penditures halt will have to be called
somewhere. Increased appropriation
are likely to be called for by the Pos
Office department, the navy, the de-
partment of agriculture and a genera
river and harbor improvement bill
