Roosevelt at White River Junction.
President Theodore Roosevelt
was the guest of the Windsor county
Y. NJ C. A., at White River Junction,
Wednesday evening of last week at
what was purported to be Vermont
get-t together banquet. He spoke
chiefly on the needs of the farmer
and rural needs. He alluded to the
very rich whom he said, Il can call
my friends only in highly technical
sense and he said further, 81 have
always thoroughly enjoyed politics and
always expect to. | am not Utopian,
l am practical politician. He said
he had no patent idea of getting the
millennium within or without our
borders, evidently abiding to the
arbitration treaty. Later, in refer
ring to the Civil War veterans, he al
luded to that conflict as one of those
causes which cannot be arbftrated.
He said he believed in arbitrating
everything that can be honorably
arbitrated, but he did not believe in
arbitrating with a man who slapped
you in the face. These illusions to
arbitration were received in almost
absolute silence.
