awoke this morning to the sound of
reveille and long before the hour set
for the starting of the parade they
lined the streets and avenues adjacent
to Case and Euclid avenues.
Old veterans prominent in the affairs
of the G. A. II. said it was the grand
est parade and the greatest day the
organization has ever seen.
In seemingly intcrminable line of
blue the various departments took up
their march over the hard granite
payements. Surging masses of peo-
pie, numbering In the hundreds of
thousands, lined the streets and took
advantage of every point of view along
the entire length of the line of parade.
In the downtown district, the streets
intersecting and adjacent to the line
of march were one struggling mass of
eager and expectant humanity.
1t is estimated that nearly half n
million people We're spectators of the
magnificent pageant. The column was
over eight miles In length and was
splendldly handled, the column moving
steadily and with scarcely percepti-

The President rode to the Wilcox

then went to the Milburn house TO
make his official call of coincidence.
The place selected to take the oath
of flee was the library of MIR. Will

Judge Hazel stood near the Presi-

showed his almost extreme nervous
ness by plucking at the lapel of his
long frock coat and ncrvously tapping
the hardwood floor with his heel. He
stepped over once to Secretary Root

Tsed earnestly. The question ut is

II 1t sign an oath of office and then
fear in. or whether he should swear
in first and sign the document in the

At precisely 3:42 o'clock. Secretary
Root ceased his conversation with the
President and, stepping back. while
an absolute hush fell upon every one
. in the room, said in an almost in
audible voice:
"AIr. Vice President. /" then his
voice broke and for fully two minutes
the tears came down his face and his
lips Quivered, so that he could moi,
continue his utterances. There were
sympathetic tears from those about
and two great drops ran down either
cheek of the successor of William Me
Kinley. Mr.. Roots chin was on his
breast. Suddenly throwing back his
head. as IL with an effort, lie continued

HUNDREDS OF FAMILIES
COMING TO COLORADO

Topeka. Kas., Sept. 1O.-Mr. C. l..
Seagraves, passenger agent of the San
ia Fe, has returned from the sugar beet
district OF Colorado. and completed ar
rungemcnts to locate 200 families from
northern Europe. the first fifty families
to locate near Holly. about October
Goth. Mr.. Seagrnvcs said:
1.-THE leader OF the colony is an eN-
pert agriculturist. and has visited and
carefully Investigated all sections Of
the United States and pronounced the
Arkansas valley the most promising
of any section visited, on account of
the superb climate. rich soil and the
most perfect irrigation system in the
world, backed by reservoir supply
with sufficient water to irrigate all
the lands for two years without n drop
Of rain, thus insuring the farmers
against failure OF crops. After the first
movement the balance will follow as
fast rs homes can be provided for
them"
Mr.. Seagraves advises that the farm
ers in the valley are very prosperous,
and as that section will be densely pop
ulnted and brought UP to a high stand
ard of cultivation. 1t will in five or six
years become the most prosperous
community In the country. He says:
1.-THE American Beet Sugar Company
OF Rocky Ford. with their $1,OOO,UOO
sugar factory. have done a great deal
to make the farmers in that district
prosperous and very materially en-
nance the value of their lands.
Sugar bects are very profitable
crop for the farmer. and the only
drawback is the laborlOus work In the
Z thinning season. which lasts about two
weeks. This feature. however. is be-
ing overcome by labor brought into the
valley from New Mexico, who contract
to thin beets Mt so much per acre.
"In the vicinity OF Rocky Ford.
where the land has been cultivated ex-
tcnsively, 1t is possible under only fair
conditions to raise twenty tons of beets
to the acre, while thrifty and industri-
GUS farmers grow from twenty-five to
thirty tons to the acre and In some In
stances as high as thirty-flve tons.
"The price OF beets is determined ac-
cording to their sugar content, the nv-
erage being about So per ton. The
cost of growing beets including all Ia
Dor, seed. as well as harvesting the
crop in the fall is about so per acre,
leaving the farmer $40 or more profit
an acre for his beet crop.
% 1.-The sugar beet factory will give the
farmer n five or ten-year contract for
his beets, agreeing to pay 81 for beets
containing fifteen per cent. sugar or
less, and 1914 per cent. for every one
per cent. of sugar content over fifteen
per cent. The beets last year averaged
over seventeen per cent, making the
price almost So per ton.

Washington Correspondence Philadelphia Dacard

Washington Correspondence Philadelphia
 Record.
 Democratic circles in Washington are highly elated over the platforms adopted by the State Democratic Conventions of Pennsylvania and Virginia. It was well enough understood that any endorsement of the silver plank of the Kansas Clty platform was impossible in either State, hut there was fear that some overzeal- ous friend of Bryan would demand test vote by offering resolution endorsing the Kansas City document, as happened in Ohio.
 Enough occurred in both conventions to prove that MT. Bryan and his distinctive policies are no longer regarded as or over shadowing importance to the Democratic party. The action of Pennsylvania and Virginia following the action of Maryland and Ohio, seems to convince Democrats that they are now on the way to a gen. uine and effective harmony which will put them once more in good fighting shape when the time comes to meet their opponents.
 Within the past two weeks there have been quite a number of Southern repre- sentatives in Washington, and with the exception of Senator Tillman, who Is not yet ready to lay aside the free silver banner, they all tell the same story. From Georgia, Florida, Louisiana. Ar kansas. Tennessee. North Carolina, Ala bama and Kentucky there is something like a unanimity of opinion that another nomination of MT. Bryan can no longer be seriously considered as wise or even tolerable.
 Senator Vests interview declaring op- position to trust expansion and in favor of a graduated income tax as suitable issues Is regarded by many as the proper framework for the next Democratic plat form, but there Is no denying the fact that serious differences of opinion exist as to the plan he suggests in its entirety.
 Leaders are agreed that the wisest course of action is to follow the example of Pennsylvania and Virginia and omit reference, ito free silver rather than stir matters up by bringing about vote. as was the case in Ohio
