OPTIMISM, LIFE'S

XEW YORK, Feb. 27.— President
elect Taft's views on optimism are ex
pressed Jn a letter written by him to
Rev. Thomas R. Slicer, who is "promi
nent in the Optimist club of . America.
The letter from . the president-: elect,"
made public today, follows:' •
Cincinnati, Ohio, Feb. 18, 1909.
My Dear Mr. Slicer: I have your
letter of February 11 and .am glad^to
express ra» sympathy with the attitude
of the Optimist club and the Optimist
publishing company toward the present
conditions. . t
The man who does not%ope for better
thjngs and does not believe that better
things can be brought about is not the
man likely to bring better things about.
The uncompromising attitude' which
will not accept "some progress is bet
ter than none/* the insistence upon the
full realization of the highest ideals
and the rejection of any compromises
which accomplish good, are all likely
to retard progress. Constant criticism
and constant pessimism sure productive
of paralysis and stagnation. • • *
Xo one who wishes to do anything
and bring about real reforms should
allow himself to read from day to day
editorials and other, printed articles
the tone of . which Is pessimistic ami
hypocritical, for nothing will take out
of him the enthusiasm necessary to
successful effort as the reading of such
matter. Very sincerely yours.*- .-

OUTLINES PLAN TO

President's Approval
Scheme for Redistribution of Bu
reaus Into Five Divisions;
Goes to Congress
.: WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.— President
Roosevelt's commission on naval reor\
ganization, whose final report wentto
congress today, outlines a . new depart
mental system which the president de
clares is sound- and conservative arid
In full accord with American policy.
*It contemplates for. the secretary a
.general *cb'unci£ a military council,, and
the redistribution, of the duties of the
present' bureaus -In five divisions, the
chiefs of which are to compose the
grand council' who are to be the as
sistant secretary, three flag officers
and another, flag officer, naval con
structor "or civilian with technical
training. .
In submitting the plan the president
says:' '.'Nothing drastic is recommended
as to,. the. bureau or other agencies by
means of which the purely business af
fairs of the navy department are now
administered." The plan outlined does
not imply any- greater expenditure of
money than -.at presents It provides
merely that the money should be spent
wisely instead of as at present, spend
ing it so that a certain proportion is
wasted in useless work."
To supplement and finish the work
of this commission, the president says,
another commission must eventually be
designated t« take up the proposed"
plan and complete it as to details; but
no plan can Ye satisfactory if there is
deviation from . the essential military
principles- specified in this report.
"The bureau system in/lts entirety has
been retained, but with additional per
sonnel. The commission's scheme is
merely an illustration of principles!
and not a digested plan. *
It contemplates that the assistant
secretary shall; be .'a '-civilian, a "man
of affairs," who shall t»e the chief of
ficer -of the first division and shall
have charge of; the business pf the
bureau of yards and docks, the bureau
of supplies and the bureau of medi
cine and surgery, . the employment of
civilians and kindred subjects. \
