Inside View of a Presidential Tour.

To the casual observer looking on from
the outside tour like that which Pres-
dent Roosevelt has just made through
Vermont is simply prolonged holiday,
including succession of festivities inter-
sperSed with short appearances in public
and brief speeches to admiring and en-
thusiastic throngs Of people. Tho spccta-
tor sees the presidential train dash into
the station; the nations chief executive
Is waited upon by a small number of citi-
Zens appointed for that purpose; the Pres
ident appears upon the rear platform of
his private car and is introduced Ivy the
chairman of the local committee; he de-
livers a short address; the people cheer
Justify, and the palatial train whzzes
away to bear the chief executive to an
other brief stopping place, or to some
point where he is given a brilliant reoep
ton or entertained by some distinguished
citizen,
From this point Of view a presidential
trip is pretty much all pastime and pleas

Graceful Hospitality,

President Roosevelt has made no secret
OF the pleasure he received during his visit
to Vermont. The throngs that greeted him
were orderly, intelligent and as respectful
as they were enthusiastic in their greetings
to the head of the nation and to the man
He was not oppressed by executive atten-
tons or bored by tedious takers Nor did
he conceal the fact that the most delight
full part of his brief stay in our State was
the thirty-siX hours he spent on the
shores of Lake Champain. That 1t was so
was due in large part to the ample and
thoughtful hospitality extended to the
President and his immediate companions
by DR.. W. Seward Webb. DR.. Webb, as we
believe. changed some important plans and
cancelled various business and social en-.
gagements in order to be of service to the
President. He placed himself his beautiful
yacht, his lordly manor. his horses and his
spacious and delightful home, upon a por-
ton of the shore yielding in beauty and at
tractiveness to no other portion of the
hundreds of miles of our lake front, at The
command of his guest. The President went
to and from Thompsons Point in the
plensantest and least fatiguing way. lie
had a delightful rest at Shelburne House
and we know that he felt and appreciated
the graceful and beautiful hospitality of DR.
and Mrs. Webb combining as 1t did rare
| elegance with perfect ease and comfort
The President is in sense the people S
guest. The people OF Vermont want him to
have as good a time when he visits our
States as he can have anywhere outside oil
his own home; and they are glad that We
have citizens possessing the means the
taste and the will to entertain him. not

but with a degree of comfort and salts

designated a special board to consider
what experiments in communication
will be attempted at these maneuvers,

forces will attempt to use a wireless
system in their operations viii be de-
cided by it.
The navy department does not expect
to use wireless telegraphy in the ma

decided upon a system.
1t is the hope and expectation of the
officials that wireless communication
can be made part of the great naval
maneuvers which will take place in
