WHY PEOPLE VISIT THE CAPITAL

statesmen and scholars who abide at
the seat OF government.
In recent years the National Capt.
tai has become the Mecca and resi-
dence of the intellectual cream of the
modern world. Many of the literary
giants of the day spend the greater
part of their time within the shadow
of the Capitol dome. They revel in
the silence and beauties of the Con-
gressional Library, as they spend
hour after hour studying the wisdom
of the past in order to tell the pres
ent civilization an old truth. These
students are very interesting COM
panions. and add much to the pleas
ure and gayety Of the city's social
set.
Many quaint and unique charac-
ters are included in that class who
may come under the head of ''cranks,"
and they are appearing and disap-
pearing at all seasons of the year.
They are Chiefly interesting to those
who make study of the human ami
NAL from a metaphysical standpoint.
The general impression left upon
the mind of a stranger after a visit
TO this city is, as rule, most favor

The recent article by j. Fraise Richard, entitled
"Should Union Soldiers Form Political organiza-
tion? was doubtless read with surprise by many Re
ferrng. for example, the account given by Rollin
the historian of the between Rome and Carthage,
and to the fact that, after the close of the struggle
Carthage endeavored TO repudi;he the obligations
she had assumed toward her soldiers" Mr. Richard
nlagines parallel between the United States and
the Greek republic. saying:
This description of the republic of Carthage
$50 years before Christ. is equally true of the Re
public of the United States in the year of grace
1902. The spirit of commcrcialsm reigns almost sl-
prene. The rights of those who saved the nation in
the hours of peril are ignored. basely ignored by
persons who thea were plying the vocation of Shy
lock and whose descendants are similarly employed
now,"
Not only Is there no parallel between the Car
thaginian and the struggle for the Union, but
there is truth III the allegation that 'the spirit
of commerciaism reigns almost supreme in the
manner in which Government has dealt with
those who saved this nation in the hour of peril"

King of Belgium. The banqueting room
was turned into an immense garden. fes-
tooned with red roses and hydrangeGs OF

Praise for Oyster Bay.

Il have just returned from very
pleasant visit to Oyster Bay" said Mr..
James T. Hill, prominent business
man Of Boston, at the Raleigh last
evening. and must say the place is a
delightful spot. The President is thor
oughly enjoying mis- vacation, and the
orders are so strict that only specially
invited guests can see him.
II think the President is entitled to
some consideration at the hands OF the
newspaper men. for he treats them fair
ly. and his feelings should be respected
as much so as a private individual OF
course. | understand the people like TO
read about the personality and the
movements of their Chief Magistrate,
and II the President goes fishing they
take pleasure in reading that he met
with coed luck. etc. but it's the stories
OF his home life doings that are purely
personal and outside the pale of legi-
innate newspaper comment that the
friends OF the President object to.
Il do not think It a Bit enterprising
for certain metropolitan papers TO fill
their columns with such matter, for
they are fakes pure and simple And
| believe a paper with seif-respect would
not indulge in the publication of those
sensational stories, especially when the
editors know it is impossible for the
President to daily deny the stories"
