THE WEEKLY LEADER (Successor to Watertown Republican.) PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY P. If. SWIFT. PUBLISHER. Entered as Second-Class matter May 4, in the PostoPlce at Watertown, Wis., under tie act of Congress March 3,1K71). SI.SO Per Year Strictly In Advance Sample Copy I'ree. Advertising Kates are Furnished on Application. Watertown Wis. Friday. July 17 Having discontinued the publication of the Daily Leader, ti;e undersigned severs his connection with in the journalistic fie'd of Watertown to enter upon similiar duties in the Uream City. During the two years and over in which I have been asso ciated in the i üblication of The Daily Leader, have found the hours to be necessarily long, but the work never theless, pleasant, and the associations congenial. The reasons for the sus pension of the daily have previously been touched upon and it is not neces sary to burden the reading public with any “tale of woe.” During my newspaper career in Watertown, pos sibly have made some enemies. To any of su h, can only say, God bless them. I trust, however, that the friends made outnumber the enemies. Ties of friendship have sprung up that time and distance will never create a forgetfulness of the good fellowship which has existed. I leave Watertown with a belief that I have at least made a few friends— citizens of the city and surrounding country whose friendship I shall ever cherish and hold in fond remembrance. In my new lield of labor, I would at any time be pleased to meet my Watertown friends—a city which may some time be a suburb of Watertown. To the gentleman who succeeds me in the publication I can unhesitatingly say he is the best old gentleman I EVER new, a whole-soled old veter an in the journalistic field, a man among men whose honor and integrity is above reproach, a true citizen who is deserving of the confidence and patronage of the citizens of Water town—or any other town. I arn PROUD to say—he’s my father. Glosing with a fond farewell, 1 am. Yours respectfully, Ward L. Swift. TO THE PUBLIC. The undersigned, having assumed the editorial and nusineas management of the Watertown Weekly Leader deems it proper to inform the public, that the Leader will continue to he an earnest advocate of every good word and work, regardless of the source from which it comes or who may be interested, and will stand for the bast in the social and mural well being of society. Every man and woman who are working for the better ment of the world and mankind will find a friend in the publisher of the Leader. The publisher will not hesitate to condemn wrong doing, but such condemnation will be in a spirit of pity and nut harshness, believing that kindness is the best way to the hearts of the unfortunate. The Leader will continue to be indentified with the republican party and advo cate its principles when those princi ples are in accord with the views and sympathies of the nublisher, who re serves thp right, however to support the best men tor county and city offices, thi men who will give the best service to the public. Youts respectfully, P. H. Swift, Publisher. WHO ARE THE FRIENDS. The democratic presidential nominee in his recent speech at “Fairview,” Lincoln, rveb., made the astounding statement that the republicans ignored labor. Was he honest? It is a fact, that cannot be successfully contro verted, that the policies of the rep ublican party has furnished employ ment for labor at good wages and that the industrious and frugal labor ers all over the country have made and saved money and are now in com fortable circumstances. It is only necessary to revert to the time that the democratic party was in power in the nation, to learn how thoughtful the democracy was for labor, when hundreds of the thousands were out of employment, seeking fer and finding none. When our streets and country roads were thronged with honest men in enforced idleness and billions of dollars were lost in the shrinkage of values of all binds of property. The policy of the democracy has always been destructive of labor, y c t, claiming to be greatly interested in its welfare. The experiences of the past all testify to the truthful ness of the above statement. And it might not be amisa to direct the attention of the farmers to the fact that the policies of the Republican party has enhanced the value of their holdings and made them Well-to-do. Reverse these policies and the de preciation in values would send this country backward many years in destroying confidence and the reduc tion o* values of all kinds of property. THE CAMPAIGN LIE. Some man who has not revealed his identity warbles about the“ Campaign Lie” and makes sensible suggestions. If men would exon ise the same rea son in voting they do in other and less important matters, they would vote more intelligently. The following is his song; It strikes us that it is about lime to get on the campaign he. Here goes; Do you hear a man exhalted for for getfulness of self; It’s a Campaign Lie. Do they blazon him as “unmoved by a lust for filthy pelf?” It’s a Campaign Lie. Is he “tired with zeal for toil," And “the tillers of the soil Close aronud his heartstrings coil?” Faugh! A campaign Lie. Do you hear another branded as a “craven and a fool” It’s a campaign Lie. A “weakling with no principle,” of autocrats the “tool?” it’s a Campaign Lie. “The maehine” it “stands behind him, ” “The politicians blind him,” “In the right you’ll never find him.” SLUSH ! A Campaign Lie. WERE VERY BLIND. Some idea of the dishonesty of Joe C annon and his high tariff crowd in congress, may be gathered from the fuel, that during the last session of congress, a committee was appointed by Speaker Cannon to investigate the paper trust. The committee after a pretended investigation, reported that there was no trust—at least, it had been unable to find one. In the mean time, the members of the trust agreed to plead guilty if they were fined but a normal amount. They did so, paid normal lines and the trust continues and poor publishers are forced to con tribute to a trust t h at is dividing $80,000,000 profits annually among the members of the same and yet, there are none so blind as those who will not see—a trust that deserves to be “busted. ” NEED A STRONG TICKET. The name of Otto H. Falk of Mil waukee, has been mentioned in con nection with the repub'ican nomina tion for governor. Mr. Falk is a man of ability, possessed of fine busi ness qualifications and if nominated, wou'd give strength to the state ticket. It is singular, yet neverthe ess true, that the Germans and those of German antecendents have not re ceived the recognition at the hands of the party to which they are entitled because of numbers and worthness for official trust. If can be to their credit, however, that they have never manifested a spirit of nativism. A strong ticket will be necessary this fall to hold the party in line, for all must admit that there is much rest lessness ana discontent in the party. VOTE FOR SAFE MEN. At tha approaching election, repub licans all over the country will stulti fy themselves, it they vote for men for congress who will suport Cannon fur the speakership ot the house of Representatives and who are not in favor of an immediate and radical revision of the tariff on protection lines. Congressman Nelson of this district can be trusted to vote against Cannon and is everlastingly in favor of a revision of tha tariff. His independence and fearlessness during the last session of congress should influence every voter to give h ; m their support at both the primary and general elections. CHRONIC OFFICE SEEKERS. There must be something in politics whan nvn will travel to and fro throughout the state year in and year out and spend thousands of dollars in order to sacure office. The reader can readily call to mind the names of the men who are abnormally anxious to serve the people, incidentally, and themselves generally. Ambition, ot | course is laudable, but when men send more than the salary received to secure office, it looks mighty sus picious. to say the least. ROBS BOTH. Today, the price of beef on hoof is arbitrarily fixed for tne catt'e raiser, and the price is arbitrarily fixed for the consumer. The only way to beat the trust which is robbing the people, is to cut beef, in fact all kinds of meat out of the bill of fare, and thus let the price soar until the trust stops robbing the cattle raiser and consumer. PUNGENT FARAGARPHsL Mr. Bryan baa already been beaten twice by an Ohio man. And now may come the third bump. All doubt about the strength of the Chicago platform had been re moved. Mr. Bryan claims that it contains his ideas. Ella Wheeler Wilcox says that pain is her dearest friend. No one is go ing to try to rob her of her dearest friend. Not much Ella “With Bryan defeated this year, who will he the democratic candidate for president in 1912?” asks the Sav annah News. Bryan of course! W’ho else could it he? Admiral Evans thinks that twenty of our battleships in tne Pacific and a like number in the Atlantic would be about the right size for the United States. The Admiral must under stand, however, that it is easier to agree on the size of the fleet than it is to agree on the size of the congres sional appropriation for naval purposes also, if we mind cur own business the navy is large enough. In an article in the Delineator, William T. Stead, the London editor says: “There are some dairy maids I would rather marry than some of the wives of college presidents. He haa plenty of company too in that choice. W’e betray no confidence when we say. that Mr. Bryan can count on the support of the Lincoln Commoner at any time for any office he wants. Although ?000 Americans lobsters were shipped to Europe last week, there will be enough left on this side to make the summer girl’s life worth living. ' Some peevish person now complains that the Filipine assembly wastes too much in oratory. And yet the Filip inos are expected to regard the , Americans as an example to be follow ed. “Mr. Bryan has been training for the presidency for twelve years” cays the Dallas News. There is a strong suspicion that he has over trained himself. The Post Office department has negotiated a parcels post agreement with Uruguay. The department seems to be able to make postal agreement with everybody expect congress. To most public men there is no music sweeter than applause You cannot lower the mercury with high bails. A HE ST HARD TO FIND. Remarkable and Artistic Home of thi Humming Bird. The home of the humming bird is one of the most remarkable and artistic creations of all bird architecture. It is a tiny, delicate cup, made of the soft est plant down, saddled upon some rather slender branch so deftly that it seems a part thereof. The saliva of the birds is used to compact and secure the material and likewise to coat the exterior with the gray green lichens so generally found upon trees. This makes it so assimilate with the sur roundings that it is a very difficult ob ject to discover. And thereby hangs a tale. A gentleman had told me that If I would call upon him he would show me an occupied nest of a hum ming bird in his orchard. When I came, he was out of town, but I thought I would see if I could not find the nest myself. So I made inspection from tree to tree, and presently the fe male hummer began to fly about me anxiously. \\’e played a game of hot and cold until it became evident that the'nest must be in a certain low apple tree which had many dead, lichen cov ered branches. Some of these came down nearly to the ground, and for quite awhile 1 stood by the tree, run ning my eyes along each branch in or der, trying to make out the nest, while the female kept darting frantically at my head. It must have been nearly a quarter of an hour before 1 discovered that I was standing almost touching the nest with my hands, having been looking right over it all the time. It contained two fresh eggs, this being In the early part of June. The branch upon which it was built was complete ly overgrown with lichens, and the nest, being covered with them, too, was wonderfully disguised, though there were no leaves to hide it.—From “Ex periences With Humming Birds," by H. K. Job, in Outing Magazine. ne Was Right. "Johnny," said the big brother of an uptown small boy, “go to the shoemak er’s and see if my shoes are mended, will you?" “New," said the urchin. "Why not?" “ ’Cause they ain’t done yet.” "How do you know?" " ’Cause I ain’t taken ’em yet, that’s how.” Diamonds. Why are diamonds expensive, being merely dust and ashes? Because wo men love them. And why do women love them ? Because they are expen sive and useless.—London Chronicle. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children.

A POOR GROCER. Audubon’s Lame Attempt to Succeed as a Merchant. It is not generally remembered that the worldwide reputation of Audubon as a naturalist incidentally is due tc his failure to establish himself perma nently as a Missouri grocery merchant and dealer in the best brands of Ken tucky whisky. In 1810 he and Ferdinand Kozior ol St. Genevieve loaded a keel boat at Louisville, Ky., with 310 barrels of whisky and groceries and started down the Ohio and Mississippi to St. Gene vieve to open a grocery store. The trif was made during the winter, and the streams were so full of ice that the boat was drawn up against the bank and winter quaiters were established just below Cape Girardeau. When St. Genevieve was reached, after the open ing of navigation, the firm of Audu bon & Rozier opened their store and did a prosperous business. But the business was done by Rozier, for Au dubon preferred the wmods to the coun ter and devoted more of his time to sketching and stuffing birds than he did to marketing the 31C barrels of Kentucky bourbon or any other gio cerios. This led to a dissolution of the partnership. On April 11, 1811, Audu bon, convinced of his unfitness for business, sold out to Rozier and took up the work for which he was better fitted than any one who had lived be fore or who has lived since and from a fourth rate grocer became the great ornithologist. The grocery business which Audubon abandoned grew r until finally It “extended throughout all of upper Louisiana.”—Kansas City Star. The Silent Winners.
