B" ThkhhotMW Leonard Wood 1 4 Reprinted from an article by Theodora Roosevelt In The Outlook, by special arran(«ment with The Outlook, of which Theodore Roosevelt la Contributing Editor. Copyright, 1»10, by The Outlook Company. All Right* Reserved. Gen. Leonard Wood has Just re turned from South America to take up hi* duties aa chief of the general staff of the United States army, the highest military position which the service af fords. Nearly 12 years ago, whan Leonard Wood was acting as governor of Santi ago, I wrota In the Outlook about what be had alroaay achieved, and what he could be trusted to achieve. During the Intervening IS years he has played a very conspicuous part among the men who have rendered signal service to the country by the way in which tbey have enabled it to grapple with the duties and responsibilities in- Kj curred by the Spanish war. What has been accomplished in the Philippines, in Cuba, in Porto Rico, in Panama, and in San Domingo during these IS years represents a sum of achieve ment of which this nation has a right to be extremely proud. In each locali ty the problem has been different, in each locality it has been solved with signal success. Of course 'there have been mistakes and shortcomings, but on the whole it would be difficult to find anywhere a finer record of suc cessful accomplishment This record Is primarily due to the admirable qual ity of the men put at the head of af fair a in the different places. Messrs. Taft, Luke Wright, Smitb and Forbes, Messrs, Hunt, Wlnthrop, Post and Col ton, Governor Magoon, Colonel Qoetlv als—to tbese and their colleagues and subordinates the country owes a heavy debt of obligation. Most of those I have mentioned are civilians. Colonel Goethals, under whonj the gigantic *york of the Pana ma canal Is being accomplished, with literally astounding rapidity and suc cess. is a representative of the army. The share of the army in the honor roll is very large. The Importance of work like that of General Bell in the Philippines,' of General Barry in Cuba, can hardly be overestimated: but, as a whole, of all the work of the army officers, the greatest In amount, and the greatest in variety of achieve ment, must be credited to General Wood. And, moreover, he has at times combined with singular success the functions of civil administrator and military commandant. The part played by the United States in Cuba ha« been one of the most honorable ever played by any nation in dealing with a weaker power, one of the most satisfactory in all respects; and to General Wood more than to any other one man la due thp credit of starting this work and conducting it to a suc cessful conclusion during the earliest and most difficult years. Like almost all of the men mentioned, as well as their colleagues, General Wood of course Incurred the violent hatred of many dishonest schemers and un scrupulous adventurers, and of a few IS TOO MUCH HANDSHAKING? Other Wsys of Greeting Friends That Are Much Prefsr'able, Accord ing to Writer. Although a few have suffered the unpleasant experience of the man in the case recently reported, the bones of whose hands were forced out of place by the vise-like grasp of a too vigorous and unduly demonstrative friend, most people will be inspired by their personal recollections to sympa thize with this victim of a misdirect ed ardor. Everyone knows people'who seek lb express the sincerity and ear nestness of their good-will by squeex- Ing the hand they take as though they were trying to break every one of the score or so of bones which the human band comprises, and every one on such occasions must have wished that some other form of salutation than the one most In vogue had been de vised and were generally practiced. Bhaking hands Is a relic of barbar ism anyhow. It became the custom in the days when every one carried a dagger in his belt and when one friend meeting another thought it necessary to attest the peacefulness of his in tentions by extending an open palm. Then the other man could do no less than make a similarly reassuring dem onstration and the grasp of these two extended hands naturally followed., Subsequently, by a logical process of evolution the handshake grew to be the conventional form of greeting and the refusal of a proffered hand was regarded as one of those Insults whose dishonor can only be wiped out with blood. Now the custom Is too firmly and widely established for its abandonment to be conceivable, and Bird's Powerful Voice. There It a bird known ti the naked throated ball bird, that baa such a powerful voice that It can be heard three nllea away. It Is loud and placing and baa been likened to the sound produced by a blacksmith striking an anvlL Gastronomic Prise Medalist. The msn who Invents a noiseless method of eating com on the eob, and points out bow one can partake of watermelon without totting his ears Wet. will be a true benefactor. "I IIIIILFAIMHI iiliijiliilii mors or leas well-meaning persona who were misled by these schemers and adventurers; but it is astounding to any one acquainted with the facts to realise, not merely what he accom plished, but how he succeeded In gain ing the good will of the enormous ma jority of the men whose good will could be won only In honorable faab lon. Spaniards and Cubans, Chrlstisn Filipinos and Moros, Catholic eccle siastlcs and Proteatant missionaries— in each case the great majority of those whose opinion was best worth having—grew to regard General Wood as their special champion and ablest friend, as the man who more than any others understood and sympathised with their peouliar needs and was anxious and able to render them the help they most needed. His administration was as signally successful in the Moro country as in Cuba. In each case alike it brought in its train peace, an increase in material prosperity, and a rigid adherence to honesty as the only policy tolerated among offlciala. His opportunity for military service has not been great, either in the Philippines or while he was the governor of Quba. Still, on several occasions he was obliged to carry on operations against hostile tribes of Moros, and in each case be did his work with skill, energy, and efficiency; and, once it was done, he showed as much humanity in dealing with the vanquished as he had shown capacity to vanquish them. In our country there are some kinds of suc cess which receive an altogether dis proportionate financial reward; but in no other country; Is the financial re ward so small for the kind of service done by Leonard Wood and by the other men whose names I have given above. General Wood Is an army offi cer with nothing but an army N officer's pay, and we accept it as a matter of courso that he should have received practically no pecuniary reward -for those services which he rendered In positions not such as an army officer usually occupies. There Is not an other big country In the world where he would not have received a sub stantial reward such as here no one even thlnfcs of Jfls receiving. Yet, aft er all. the reward for which he most cares is the opportunity to render service, and this opportunity has been given him once and again. He now stands as ehlef-of-staff of the Ameri can army, the army In which he was serving in a subordinate position as surgeon 13 years ago. His rise has been astonishing, and it has been due purely to his own striking qualifica tion and striking achievements. Again and again he has rendered great serv ice to the American people; and he will continue to render such service in the position he now holds. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. rnnnrui .1. rr rn ,-j-ru. yet there are various things about it which render It unsatisfactory. Rather surprisingly It has thus far escaped the denunciations of the doc tors, who have spared no little else, as a possible occasion for the communi cation ofMnJurious microbes,-but one does not have to be a President of the United States, nor even a popular poli tician engaged In a canvass for votes, not sometimes to have wished that the handshaking habit haH never been contracted, "hiere are so many ways of shaking hands that are objection able and there are so many different kinds of hands whose touch communW cates a aensatlon not exactly pleasant Hands that are too hot or too cold, too moist or too dry, or whose inert ness communicates an uncomplime* tary sense of Indifference on the part of their possessors. EVery one is familiar with the hand shake In which all the shaking has to be done by the party of the first part, in which the hand one grsspe lies limp and lifeless in one's own, to be taken or left, to be squeezed or let drop, as one pleases, while the atti tude of the owner suggests an abso lute lack of Interest in the proceed ings. Behold, that also Is vsaity and vexation of spirit So is the question which recurrently arises, and which K may be suspected is the source of much secret embarrassment, the ques tion of to shake or not to shake. Etiquette has its rules for this, but no rules etiquette, can formulate will cover every case that may srise, and to determine the right thing jiay not always be easy. „• It will be seen that the Chinese pldn has its advantages. The China man you meet does not shake your hand. He bows and shakes his own.— Philadelphia Inquirer. T Peculiar Trick of Lightning.
