McKinIey's Reception Popular with
Camp Alger Boys.


From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
In the midst of the rush Of war the
president finds time to keep up his pub
lie receptions in the great East room
Of the White house. These gatherings
have grown larger and more enthusiast
tic since the patriotism of the country
found formal expression in a foreign
war. They are made more interesting
by the presence of the volunteers from
Camp Alger. The soldiers, to the num-
Der of hundreds, get leave daily and
come over to Washington. AS the re-
ception hour, $3.50 o'clock In the after
noon, approaches they arrive at the
White house and pass into the East
room with the usual throng of tourists
There is no arrangement to keep the
soldiers by themselves. The line to
pass the president forms just as those
who want to shake the hand of the
president fall in when he takes his
position at the door of the corridor.
The soldiers find themselves mixed In
with girls in shirt waists and college
boys in bicycle suits. There is no dis
tinction Of rank. Pt1vates, majors,
corporals, lieutenants, sergeants and
captains, and those of other ranks file
by without any distinction.
Mr.. Mckinley is at all times pleas
ing receiver, but the manner in which
he greets the volunteers is especially
impressive. Not more than two or
three seconds can be given to a soldier,
but that is time enough for the presi-
dent to learn his identity. the state,
and to say word which sends the
soldier along with flush in his cheek
and smile on his face. Officers whose
shoulder straps show rank are usually
greeted by their titles. There is moth
ing perfunctory about this reception
business on the part of the president.
Although it comes day after day. Mr..
Mckinley seems to find rest and i'll

the people whose confidence in him is
