Porto Rico In Line.

The Porto Rcans in line today attract
marked attention because OF their some
what peculiar hats. 50 suggestive OF the
region they represent but more particu-
larly because of their character as the new
est arrivals in the great American COM
monwealth. There Is Il warm spot In the
hearts of the people for these islanders,
whose sincere welcome to- the troops under
General Miles in the summer of 1898 re-
vealed their anxiety for a change to the
genial sovereignty of the United States.
Since that triumphant march through the
island Porto Rico has had some viscissi-
tudes. 1t has been visited by storm and
famine. by financial distress and tempo
impaired by the first American occupa ton.
But now the community is restored to It's
equilibrium and the beneficent processes of
American rule have begun to produce their
lasting results for good. Schools are doing
their work of enlightenment Systematic
good government Is Strengthening the snarl
caused by centuries of Spanish misrule.
The participation of the insular battalion
In the parade today ought to have last
ing effect for good among the people of
Porto Rico. These trim, soldierly. brown
men who are so proudly marching today
will carry back with them memories of the
capital and Of the impressive occasion
which cannot fail to spread a quickening
impulse OF citizenship among the stay-at-

tails. The experience OF the past has afded,
Of course. in permitting the committees to
| provide In anticipation for all the needs oi
such an elaborate affair. But the occasion
! has called for expenditures of time, money
and thought which could not be lessened
by the records Of past achievements.
Washington is ideally situated for the ac-
commodation Of such a throng is today
within her borders, swelling the population,
according to conservative estimates. by
fully so per cent. Few cities ever have
such an experience on an occasion marked
by a single days festivities. Few others
than Washington are capable Of absorbing
this influx with as little friction as Is OBJ
servable now. when delegations of tens of
thousands from every section and practical
ly every state swarm In the streets, crowd
the hotels. boarding houses and private
residences.
As the ceremonies Of the Inauguration
proceed there must be a feeling of distinct
satisfaction in the breast OF every citizen
of the capital in refiecting that nowhere else
in the world Is SUCH gathering as this
possible, summoned by feelings of patriotic
enthusiasm to witness the formal induction
into office Of a national executive. No other
country can duplicate the sentiment which
animates the people of this republic when
the chief magistrate, chosen by the popular
suffrage takes the oath of Office. From an
affair of plain solemnity this proceeding has
developed into one of great display and hes
come to be regarded almost as a national
festival. The capital city feels that it's civic
individuality has had a distinct influence in
shaping this evolution to its present salts
factory and inspiring proportions and char
actor.
Every Washingtonian who has not himself
served in the preparatory and executive
work Of this inaugural owes to those who
have thus served personal vote of thanks
for their unselfish. effective labors which in
many cases have been marked by material
sacrifices.

The scene has lent
sweet content
