VIEWED BY WhTTERSON.

Col. Henry Watterson, the noted
editor and lecturer is travelling in
Europe and is, as it were, upon a
pinnacle where he can look down upon
the American political field and draw
his conclusions without prejudice or
bias of local affairs. He has lately
been interviewed and among other
things has pointed out the fact that
the democratic party is pretty badly
torn up. The southern branch of the
party IS simply democratic on the race
problem. while the northern contingent
is divided more hopelessly than ever
before into Bryan and anti-Bryan fac
tions. 1t is evident that he is not
seeing very much hope tor the success
Of the democratic party. With regard
to the Hartman and Roosevelt con-
troversy, he said: ''Mr. Hartman is
de sikAdi uiSduNdHtdSS. ne WholS
rowd of high fnanciers in politics
are rs flock of sheep weaponless,
and protected only by their cool and
fat. once laughingly told j. Pier
pont Morgan he ought to have a
guardian; that he talked politics as |
talked finance and art, knowing quite
as little out of his sphere as l out CT
mine. The president is mighty man
of war, the ablest practical politician
of this or any day. His resources
are boundless, his wit keen, his popu-
larity immense, while Nj. Hartman
has nothing except his money to fight
with, and Mr.. Hearst will be able to
tell him how impotent money is with
no moral force behind it.

EU[0GY ON GEESET0WN
BY VETERAN HATMAN

There is one town in my terri
tory, - SAID Hans Heinrich, the
travelling Singapore, in company of
drummers, where | am more at home
than in any other of my towns. This
town is 'Geesetown,' that grand old
burgh made famous by It's fat geese
and monthly cattle fair, by it's solid
businessmen and women beautiful, by
it's good Rhine wine and fine lunches,
and by many other things too numer-
GUS to mention.
"Geesetown ?''i interrupted joe High
liver, the fur man from Kamtschat-
ka, "never heard of Geesetown.
Is it African "Well, you see,
joe continued Hans Heinrich, "you
will not find this name Oh the map,
but the town is there just the same,
and | assure, you Geesetown in the near
future will be as famous as Milwaukee
JIG famous for it's beer and It's "boy"
mayor. But the next time | come to
Geesetown | will suggest to the citi-
zens that they change the present name
of their town to Geesetown as being
much more adapted to the real char
acter of the town than the name it
has now.
81 tell you what, boys, when
think of the geese of Geesetown
am tempted to euIogize those precious
creatures. To see them laid out on
the table of the meat market or on
the wagon of the farmer at the month
ly cattle fair, makes your mouth
water. Some of them are as big and
tat as good sized baby or little fat
pig. The geese of Geesetown are
famous all over the country and around
Thanksgiving time, are shipped by
the thousands to the large hotels in the
East. And the smoked geese
breasts oh, boys they make my
stomach feel empty when | think of
them. They are as delicious and
famous as the smoked hams of West
phalia. -
"But there is another thing which
makes Geesetown famous" continued
Hans Heinrich, land this is the

this says: "That is pretty confess ion
isn't it?' And all this time Sears,
Roebuck & Co. have been killing out
the local merchant only because they
were able by means of their rotten,
cheap, adulterathd stuff, to nndersell
him in the local market. Not only
the local merchant has been the loser
the mail order house patron has been
the worse buncoed in every deal The
retail mail order houses have made
practice of selling impure foods.
They are all alike in that respect and
it is the same with all articles. Gro
cerles adulteration IS not the only
thing, there is also clothing adultera-
ton, furniture adulteration, nipple
ment adulteration. That is how they
live."

WILL NOT RESIGN

An authorized statement from Baron
Mayor des Planches, the Italian AM
bassador, this week says that he is not
going to resign. He contemplates
an extended trip ia the west, going as
far as the Pacific coast. But he says
that he is coming back to Washington
and hopes to remain there long time.
His visit to the west will be in the
interests of Italian immigration. The
tide of aliens from Italy has largely
increased IN the past year. The
Italian government is taking more in
terest in them that formerly too, and
it Is trying to see that those who do
come shall 60 beyond the confines of
New York city and take up homes on
the farms where their labor is badly
needed and where they are much better
off than they would be in the slums of
a great city. The italian ambassador
has made one trip through the south on
this mission, and now he is going to
inspect the west and southwest to see
what the inducements are that they
offer to immigrants. He has already
forwarded one report on the subject
to his government, and expects to ac-
cumulate material for another and
fuller one on his present expedition.
1t is quite possible that the Italian
government may Go something, as it
easily can, toward directing the tide
Of its migrating subjects into the
country districts where there is no
question but that they will be warmly
welcomed.

CITY'S PROSPECTS.

Almost every day something new
that is encouraging is heard about
WATERFOWL. New buildings for COM
mercal, industrial ard other pur-
poses, are IL course of construction,
and more are projected. Manufacture
ing concerns will spend this year good
sums in improvements. A new inter
urban line is to be built into the city
The site for the new federal building
has been chosen and ere long the gov
ernme 1T building will be commenced.
ST. Mays hospital is to be enlarged
and made into a commodious and mod
en hospital and credit to the city.
With improvements and new buildings
the prospective expenditure this S. a
son will be an enormous sum. Two
new churches ere now in course of
construction. Many new residences
will be rected and the list could be
prolonged, gong to show that the
year Of 1907 will be one of the most
prosperous In the history of the city.
The indications are that Watertown is
going ahead in everything popula-
ton, in commerce, in manufacturing,
in banking, aA a shipping point, as
market for the farmers, as good
newspaper field and last but not
least in educa tional and church
affairs. Two things that are most
needed to make Watertown what it
should be-one of the foremost cities in
the state-ls more boosters and less
knockers and members of the anvil
chorus, whose conception of progress
extends no further than the portals of
their personal selfish interests. Boom
your town, write of it, speak we'll of
1t. PatronlZe nome industries d.
ways. These things The Leader Is
doing and will contine TO do. The
second important thing to do is to in
augurate campaign for better roads
leading from the rural districts-roads
that will encourage the farmer to
come to Watertown to market their
produce, rather than drive many miles
out of their way, simply because otf er
places invite them there and encouy-
age them by good ads. The city
council is on the right track. Keep
it up and follow out the plan as out
lined-but don't lag.

BIG GUN MAKING.

There has been a great revival of
big gun making at the Navy yard.
1t may not be generally known, but
this is the greatest gun plant of the
country. The government has invest
ed here millions of dollars in ma
chinery and shops, and here are facil-
tiles for turning out the main bat
teries of battle ships faster than
the ship yards of the country can con-
struct the hulls. Great gun making is
an exact science, and if the Washing
ton gun plant should be destroyed,
there is no other factory in the coun-
try that could take up the work and
carry it out without years of prepare
tion and practice. The present hurry
over the work is not due to any war
like emergency, but to the fact that
there are more battle ship Us and first
class cruisers than usual being con-
structed in all the ship yards, both
government and private, and the Wash
ington plant has to speed up little to
keep pace with the demand for main
battery guns. The day OF the IS inch
gun in the navy Is past. That type
disappeared when the "New York"
and the Massachusetts, were equip
ped. But there is great call now
for II inch guns, which constitute
the ma lin armament of all first-class
battle ships and cruisers. There will
be dozens of them required In the
ships of the Connecticut class now
building and the monster 900 ton
battle ships now authorized by con-
gress. So the navy yard is waking
up. There have been large number
of skilled mechanics recently put to
work, and more are going OF in
the form of a night shift. Soon the
gun plant will be running night and
day. the first time this has been so
since the days of the Spanish war.
1t is not exactly an emergency call,
but it will show what the government
can do with the facilities at its
command in turning out high class
gun work in short time.

When President Roosevelt and Elio

"Get busy and do things was the
inaugural address of Chicago's new
mayor. And all the hold-up men in
that town who have been taking rest
may Immediately act upon that as gooc
advice.
The Honduran Colonel, who insulteo
the American flag is likely to dis.

bring trouble down on himself.
In Havan, 20, 600 baseball fans tried
to mob the umpire at game the other

believe that the Cubans could never
become Americanized.
The peace advocates favorlng ar

monthly cattle fair. On this day
hundreds of farmers sometimes coming
from distance of twenty-five miles,
stream into the town with their
wines, chill 1ren and horses and cattle
and pigs and, in winter, with the
latest and biggest geese the world
has ever seen. Then the buyers from
the larger cities come to Geesetown
to buy all they can, with the except
ion of some poor old horses, veterans, ,
which have outlived their usefulness.
These veterans are sometimes offered
at six for five dollars, or, if you will
take the trouble to 60 two blocks
from Main street, you can sometimes
find one of those veterans tied to a
post without an owner and you can
take the good creature away without
pay, and no questions will be asked.
So one of my friends assured me; if
it's not so, the good people of Geese
town must not blame me tor it. And
now boys, let's have a good glass of
Rhine wine o.. the health on the good
citizens of Geesetown, and a little
lunch before we go to bed. | am
almost tired cut by my eulogy on
Geesetown.
And after having refreshed himself
little, Hans Heinrich. went to bed
and, in his dreams, saw big process
ION of citizens of Geesetown with the
mayor and a band of music at its head
welcoming him at the depot and COM
plimenting him on the fine deal of
having suggested such an appropriate
name for their town. Then a beauti-
full young lady decorated him with
leather medal from the citizens of
Geesetown as the city as now named.
But suddenly his dream changes.
He has a nightmare. Another pro-
cession comes round the corner, all
women, all clad in red. with big
brooms in their hands. Two of the
leaders take hold of him and the
balance of the crowd commences to
thrash him with their brooms until
he awakes, bathed in perspiration.

two lost the run of things. When he
came to himself q shifting engine had
Piper tried his best to get out of the
way of the oncoming caboose, but was
not quite quick enough, and both feet
became caught beneath the wheels.
Help was almost instantly at hand
