nave received the most enthusiastic
receptions in other parts Of the coun-
try have met with only Chautauqua
salute in the national capital. The
cause OF this seeming indifference I'M
doubleday lies in the fact that great
men are as common in Washington
as blackberries. You could not throw
= stone on Pennsylvania avenue with
out striking some distinguished char
acter.
Despite this apathetic air the peo-
PIE OF Washington propose to wake
up and show the country that they
are not Indifferent to their own dis
tingufshed citizens, among whom they
always claim the president of the
/ United States They now propose to
give Mr.. Roosevelt fitting reception
upon his return to the capital on
September 80. They do not intend
to have the garish display that other
cities might get up for such an oc-
casion, but the plan is to have the
citizens assemble by the thousand
along Pennsylvania, avenue from the
railroad station to the white house
and applaud the president as the lat
ter drives from the train to his Of
fetal home. There will be no mill
tary display and no firing OF cannon,
but just such q reception as the rech-
seerche populace of this ultra conserva-
tive town might be expected to give.
The Chautauqua salute was first dis
cussed, but q compromise has been
sugg ested which is likely to be adopt
ed and that Is to use small American
hags instead of handkerchiefs In wav-
ing the salute.
There will be no speeches at this
reception much to the regret OF the
honorable commissioners who are gift
ed IN this line. II is remembered that
two years ago when q similar demon
stration was gotten up to welcome
the president home from western
tour, the Official orators drew up be-
fore the executive as he alighted and
prepared to deliver formal speech
Of welcome. Mr.. Roosevelt waved
them aside, sprang into his carriage
and at once entered upon the drive to
the white house. There. will be no
wasted efforts on oratory this time.
