TO THE PUBLIC.

The undersigned, took over the
Leader" and printing plant on
the Ist inst, Mr.. Feldschneider
having decided that he could not
pay for the same, under the terms
OF an option to purchase the Lea
der office at stipulated price, and
as he had secured a good posi-
ton of a Milwaukee daily paper,
concluded, that it was to his inter
est to retire from local journalism.
E. w. Feldschneider is an excel
lent young man and we wish him
unbounded success In his new po-
sition and in every other way.
The Leader, as it was under a
former management, will be an ex-
ponent for the best in the city,
county, state and nation and; while
it will condemn wrong doing, it
will be in a charitable spirit and
will give its approval to each and
every effort for the moral and So
cial betterment of Watertown and
give to each individual, society
and church praise for every en-
deavor to make the world better
and mankind happier. We will be
fair and Just to the rich and poor
alike, and refrain from taking sides
in local disputes, unless the inter
ests of the public shall demand us
to take sides.
All communications on matter of
public concern must be signed by
the writer and be written free from
personalities and in a good spirit.
We propose to make the paper a
welcome visitor in each and every
family in the city and surrounding
country. 1t will be a clean, con-
else, constructive, conscientious
newspaper. On the square, and
striving for the Ideal.
1t is unnecessary to say anything
about the senior member of the
firm, for the public knows that he
is friend to all mankind and kind
ly disposed toward the Unfortunate,
who from weakness, fall. The
junior member of the firm is a first
class printer, quiet, gentlemanly
and attentive to business. He
will manage the mechanical part of
the business and all acquainted
with him, know his real worth as
man and printer.
In closing, would say, that we
will be grateful to receive a part OF
the advertising and job printing
from our business firms and the
public generally.
Yours truly,
Swift & Doerr.

Convenience of Truth,

Truth is always consistent with it.
self, and needs nothing to help it out;
it is always near at hand, and sits
upon our lips, and is ready to drop
out before we are aware; whereas a
lie is troublesome, and sets mans
invention upon the rack, and one
needs a great many more to make it
good.-The crafty man is always in
danger; and, when he thinks he walks
in the dark, all his pretenses are so
transparent, that he that runs may
read them. He is the last man that
finds himself to be found out; and
whilst he takes it for granted that he
makes fools of Others, he makes him
self ridiculous.-John Tillotson.

Keeping Promises.

o. Henry, beloved by every editor
in the country, sometimes was the
bane of their lives. One of the stories
of his whimsical sayings, which has
just come to light, will help to explain
why no one could harbor wrath
against him. The humorist had prom
ised to write a story for one of the
big magazines, but it failed to arrive
after many requests. Finally the edi-
tor went to o. Henry's apartment and
sent up a curt note: eff I don't have
that story within "a hours will come
up and kick you downstairs. l always
keep my promises" o. Henry prompt
~ sent back this note: Dear Bill: If
l did all my work with my feet I'd
keep my promises too."-Exchange

1t is reported from Milwaukee,
that a meeting of the friends of
Gov. McGovern will be held IN the
city during the month of February
for the formation of an organiza-
ton to further his political aspira-
tons and get ready for two years
hence. The governor absolutely
defeated himself at the last general
election for United States senator,
for his advocacy of the adoption of
the ten fool constitutional amend
ments and his defense of the last
legislature, which burdened the
people with taxes. Had he taken
the voters into his confidence by
telling them how he was hooked
up" by the legislature, the voters
out of sympathy would have voted
for him and his majority would
have have been equal to that re-
ceived by E. L. Phillip.

A Cannibai Feast.

Among the early missionaries to
the Fiji islands were James Calvert
and his wife. A band OF natives had
seized IA women in order that a can
nibal feast might be held in honor of
some visitors. Mrs Calvert and an
other missionary lady were alone at
the time. They rushed through the
crowd until they were before the king,
though no woman was allowed to en-.
ter his presence. They begged SO
earnestly that the astonished king for.

Senator Root Of New York says
that the country is suffering from
too much law. He must have had
in mind Wisconsin, thousands of
fool laws having been enacted to
increase taxes and deprive people
of their person and property rights;
two thirds of which should be re-
pealed by the incoming Legislature.

Dinerentiate Blood Spots.

Medical jurists had until recently no
certain means Of distinguishing the
blood of a man from that of, say, a
dog. Research, however, has evolved
new and most subtle process where
by, in the case Of fresh blood, at any
rate, absolute differentiation can now
be achieved.

NOBLE HOUSES OF~WORSHIP
Those of the Second Generation in
America Well Worthy of Their

The earliest houses of worship in
the country were mere sheds, and are

planned to be worthy dwelling places

Differing Blood corpuscIes.

The crystals of the blood of a white
man are extremely small, measuring
less than one two-thousandtn part Of
an inch in length and are shaped rath-
er like thin bricks. The blood crys-
tails of negro appear like thin red
plates, or long, thin, fiat bars, easily
distinguishable from those of a white
man.

Whale oil, for years almost a drug

far more valuable through the dis

soap, which had hitherto been impos-

argument or controvert my authori-

II seemed to have things my own
way, and whispered to the prisoner
that he needn't be uneasy. Then came
the judges charge, in which he re-
minded the jury that there was no
dispute between counsel as to the facts
Of the case. Indeed there could not
have been, for several witnesses had
sworn positively that they saw the
client steal the horse.

The Preacher reached him as the
other turned away, followed by his
men, who shouldered their tools and
disappeared through the underground
in shambling file, abandoning the
fight for other means.

extending that fine white hand. "a

He laid his hand on Sandry's arm
and slowly the young mans face grew
darkly crimson. His lips twitched and
he turned away. "I'll go down to camp,
son." said the preacher to Daily,

There was quick sliding of some
thing like fear in his voice.
"All there" said Daily kindly as the
peculiar arrival turned away.

is kept out of the pockets Of the pub
locations themselves The papers,
therefore, are the real sufferers and
should get in line on these lines, just
as we find it necessary to adopt uni
formity in manufacturing.
l conclusion, we regard the news
papers as having the greatest influ-
ence in advertising, as we believe it
has in various other fields today. We
believe that its influence can be in
creased as | suggested before. We be-
lieye that advertising is the up-to-date
modern method of selling goods-just
as the wonderful, modern machinery
beats the old made-by-hand methods,
and with the big future ahead for
newspaper advertising, we hope to see
every Improvement possible to the
end that we and other manufacturers
may receive the greatest possible aid
in having the qualities of our products
better known, and in having the con-
sufner, who needs such products and
use them to better advantage than
anything else, know all about them.
We seek to develop the business TO
the point of the greatest efficiency III
selling. The cost of advertising is
large In fact, it is tremendous but
!, the work that 1t can do more than
offsets this cost when 1t is working at
it's best, We expect to be bigger and
bigger Users of the newspapers i'll fus
ture advertising, as matter of good
business for us; and In order to low
er selling costs by btfilding volumes,
80 that the consumer win continually
get more for his money
We think the manager in every big
business should understand the big
value of advertising and then II he
has the courage and the finances 20
play the game, the final developments
of business will be along the lines of
educational, truthful advertising in
each line of business--high standards
will have to be met and it will have
to be met and it will all work for
our best future progress and help US
to Lead in the worlds business.
