getic citizens who represent the population
Of the District of Columbia. as we'll the
representatives Of the national government.
have good reason to be proud Of their ac-
complishment. All that is needed now to
make the greeting to Admiral Dewey COM
mensurate with the services he has rem
dered to the country is for the individual
citizen to get move on himself 1t may
be impossible for all persons to decorate or
illuminate their premises. but there Is
splendid opportunity afforded to a vast
number of the people of Washington to pay
Admiral Dewey tribute that will be pleas
ing to him and complimentary to the COM
munity a. large. Those who are members
Of the civic patriotic and other organiza-
tons. and who are connected with the Ma
tiona! Guard and other military organiZa-
tons will! have chance to turn out in the
civic parade Of Monday night ana the mill
tary parade Tuesday. whic will escort Ad-
mral Dewey to the Capitol. where he is to
be presented with the sword voted to him
Dv the Congress of the nation.
After the organized parade Monday night
passes up the avenue it would be most APP
propriate If the crowd assembled to see the
procession should fall in behind it and pay
its respects to the great sea captain. 1t
would be tremendous compliment If the
men and women of Washington would fill
the avenue from curb to curb and go up in
Serried ranks to salute the man who has
so signally distinguished himself as a de-
voted servant Of the American people. He
would appreciate it, too.
1t would be a very delightful thing for
the admiral to see ffag-waving crowd Of
enthusiastic Americans
thoroughfare of the nations capital to &C
centuate the organized ovation rendered to
him. 1t is to be earnestly hoped that the
citizens of Washington and the visitors
alike will appreciate this opportunity to
add to the tribute to be paid to Admiral
Dewey.
A great advantage that will accrue from
this demonstration will be in the fact that
the participants will have an opportunity
to see Admiral Dewey. He is perfectly
willing to wait upon the reviewing stand
by, and to see Dewey is something that
every patriotic American earnestly desires.
