The Districts Welcome.

Better than all the courts of honor,
military parades, and speeches of
welcome that could have been pro-
vided, the unusual greeting extend
ed to the President Saturday even
Ing revealed the affection felt for
him personally by the people of
Washington individually There was,
indeed, no welcome at all save that
OF the people. There was no compli-
mentary speech save that in which
every man, woman and child had
an equal say. Yet the President
gave every sign, as he might have
been expected to do, that this simple
greeting pleased him more than all
the ceremonies which could have
been invented.
Washington knows Theodore
Roosevelt as one of her citizens
who has served her with the greatest
value. It was he who gave practical
form and popular impetus to the
cause of civil service He has stood
on the broad side of every PROPOSE
ton for the future development of
the Capital. While President he has
served the District exceptionally in
a dozen messages and put the vast
weight of his Office on its side when
ever its interests seemed to be
threatened from any direction.
Among the thousands who cheered
him as he rode by Saturday evening,
therefore, nearly every one was his
debtor. Half of them owed the
stability of their incomes, directly or
indirectly, to him. And the whole
body. as It waited his arrival, would
have found itself under obligation
to him had it considered-as many,
no doubt, did considerable Presi-
dents active espousal of the move
ment in behalf of local Fairgrounds.
his energetic support of the park
commission plans, and his steady CO.
operation with the District authori-
ties by means of careful selections
for District Offices and otherwise.
This personal interest it was. in
part, which brought so many to
Pennsylvania avenue at their regular
dinner hour The same interest also
intensified their pleasure in the
Presidents success throughout the
peace negotiations. For, while with
all the citizens of the United States.
they rejoiced in the added prestige
their country had obtained through
his courage and initiative, they had
special cause TO be glad, and no
doubt many OF them realized it.

The Biblical Speaker.

Your Uncle Joe, the Hon. Joseph
G. Cannon, Speaker of the House of
Representatives, is famous for his
pious expression, his sweet smile.
and his Biblical language. His piety
OF look is SO pronounced that he
might pass for any grade of ecclesi-
astical digritary; his smile is of the
variety that is said not to come off
crock, or fade; and his choice of
Biblical language is not only forci-
Bile but extensive-indeed he is re-
puted TO have discharged all the
strong terms from Genesis to Reve-
lations within thirty seconds. In the
use of Bible phraseology he holds
the record and is something of big
gun with a wide bore.
Saturday. according to the press
dispatches. Uncle Joe was in full
action, talking to Colonel Taggart
and Captain Bailey, presumably
about the tariff. He was in earnest
and emphasized his remarks by
pious calculations and sacred ges-
lures. He was naturally mistaken
for Methodist preacher by youth
with love in his heart and a mar
riage license in his pocket
The mistake of the young man was
very natural; he wished to be mar
ried; he saw man of clerical ap-
pearance using Biblical language in
tie apparent effort to convert sin
ners TO repentance; he heard the
dreadful threats of future condem-
nation and the gentle call to bet
ter life; he needed minister to
marry him to the girl of his heart;
and he asked Uncle Joe to officiate.
Are you surprised? Uncle Joe wasn't.

our problem. We should say 1t was
requisite that the clothes be the
best girl can have without spend
ing on them money which ought to
go somewhere else. That makes
them all equal. Every one of them
knows, deep in her heart, her own
measure by that scale, and most of
her boy friends will know 1t too.
Her face must be lovely to the eve.
of course. But fine nose, soft eyes.
waving hair, and clear complexion
are not the only factors which can
make 1t SO. They may, in fact, be
altogether outweighed The most
beautiful eyes nature ever made
could not light a woman's face with
beauty if they did not glow with
kindness, and the most perfect COM
plexion any girl ever possessed
would not have charm if its smooth
ness were not lined with self-forget-
fulness, and love-yes, and suffering.
These standards will give every
boy who took part in this discussion
chance to claim the prettiest girl
In Washington as his own. If his
perception is clear and he is not too
old, he will probably find her at
home-not young girl at all, but a
woman whose voice has a curious
undercurrent of love in 1t, whose
shoulders are little bent with too
much housework, whose labors are
all for others and none for herself.
whose arm shuts out all the world
from seeing when something hangs
heavily in his breast and makes him
ashamed. If he is too old for that
and has young boys of his own, he
will probably find this prettiest girl
at home also, but she will be younger
and her eyes will shine with de-
pendence rather than watchfulness.
and trust rather than hope. II 1t
should be that the boy, youthful or
sedate, has no such pretty girl In
his home, why he has lost her and
must rely upon his memory to tell
him accurately how she looked.
One of these or the other must be
the prettiest girl to every man, and,
strange as 1t sounds. some men have
both. Yet there is never any agree
ment ON the subject Every man
holds his own election and the vote
is unanimous for his candidate.
Even In his own home he finds his
judgment contradicted, for the one
woman has fashion of being almost
frightened at the first words of a
compliment, and the other would
probably turn round in her chair and
pat a head covered with curls as
much as to say, This, l think, is the
prettiest girl in all the world"
Here. then. is the way to find her.
She exists for every one OF us. And
when we have found her 1t is the
least We can do to care for her and
shelter her and live to be worthy of
her; for 1t is great distinction to
have the prettiest girl in Washing
ton in your own home. As+

The communication travelled the

would ask such question deserved
an answer. and that if the question
were answered truthfully all the
boys In the city would be dissatisfied

We do not pretend we can choose

boy, young Or old, tousle headed OF
gray haired, who reads this column.
First. let him make sure of his
standards. Does he mean merely a
composition of a fine gown, smart
shoes, a dashing hat and a sweet
face? Hardly. He probably realizes
as well as we do that the clothes and
hat and shoes are only a frame, an
accidental sort of r frame. For al
most any woman could get them II
she only had the money, and having
the money, we think, depends largely
on the accident of being daughter, or
sister, or wife 70 this man and not
TO that. And a rounded cheek, with
a straight nose, lustrous eyes, and
ripping hair--these things can be
found everywhere today and tomor-
row they will all have lost their
charm. We do not think we could
satisfy anybody If we chose the pret-
tiest girl in Washington by those
standards.
