in belt. Christians and Turks,
Germans, Irish, French, black, white
and yellow men and women, will form
restless mass of living pictures not
to be seen anywneres else on the face
OF the globe.
One of these striking and interest
ing scenes was to be witnessed on
the Avenue yesterday. Amidst the
clang of the gong and the whoop OF
the street urchin, there swept into
view two large automobiles containing
delegation of North American
Indians resplendent in all of the
bright colors of their tribal dress. 1t
was unique sight, telling OF the
rapid strides of century in American
life.
There are great scenes of activity
in the vicinity of center market, one
one of the most celebrated markets
in America, and one of the sights OF
Washington, where the merchants
are receiving and sending out great
quantities OF good things to eat.
Not only are all of the hotels and
boarding houses stocking up" for
the great crowds of sight-seers, but
the housekeepers and hat-dwellers
are busy preparing for the entertain
ment of their guests. There will be
a great deal of crowding and dis
comfort for all hands during the week.
The family must "double up" and
make the best OF the situation while
the house is full of visitors. 1t will
be necessary for hosts and hostesses
to escort them about the city, point
out the various places of interest, find
them vantage points from which to
view the spectacle on Saturday.
Washingtonians do all this will
lingly; they know, if outsiders do not,
that these thousands of people who
are due to arrive this week are
fractional partners in the national
capital. They stand for the federal
of the corporation. They help to
maintain the city at all times.
Does this seem strange to you?
Do you realize that the tax payers
in Sank Centre are paying their por-
ton towards supporting a national
capitol as we'll as helping to run
the best government in the world.
American citizens have not fully
awakened to this fact yet or we would
not have so much trouble with their
representatives II Congress to get
them to appropriate sufficient funds
to bring the capitol of the nation up
to the proper standard of what such a
city should be, the most beautiful as
we'll as the best governed on the face
of the earth.
The last week of the session before
an Inauguration is always a busy
one, and this one is no exception to
the rule. All the members are on
their mettle, with EXPERIENCED eyes
peeled for whatever opportunities
may present themselves. Now is the
time to push ones own project, and
block if possible the other fellows.
The thing is to keep awake scrutiniz-
ing closely everything that shows on
the horizon.
Matters may appear chaotic, but it
will all be worked out alright for
much has already been threshed out
in committees and in informal con-
ferences, and it is pretty we'll known
how things are going. The work
will be pushed to the limit of time
and not improbably the clock for a
few minutes be set back-and the
President when he reaches the Capitol
to take the oath for his new term will
find the last of the measures awaiting
his signature.
