WATERFOWL JOTTINGS

 Hopes to Pass Quiet Sum-

 WASHINGTON, June 3.-The presi- dent has returned from the western trip in which he visited Canton, h. dianapolis and Lansing. In the four days he. was absent from the capital he travelled 1,774 miles, made two im- portant addresses and some twenty five or thirty impromptu talks and was greeted by thousands of people in parts of the country he had never visited be- fore. Most of the time he was favored by typical Roosevelt weather" The sun welcomed him at Canton, at h. dianapolis and at Lasing, although at the last place unreasonable snow had whitened the streets day or two be- fore his arrival.
 The president on his return journey was generous of his presence and came out at every station to talk or to wave his hand and smile, if the train did not stop, to the little seas of umbrellas that stretched around the station plat forms. As soon as the train pulled in to the station at Pittsburg the presi- dent left the Magnet to walk on the platform. The shed was crowded with commuters hurrying from their trains, and without waiting for his secret service guard the president pushed in- to the throng and elbowed his way along with the hundreds of other men who were hastening for given point within given length of time. The shed was in half gloom from the smoke and the oyerhanging roof, and it is probable that not one person in 6 hundred recognized the figure that strolled up and down the platform.
 The president spent most of the day, between his little excursions to the rear platform of the Magnet. in read ing books and magazines. dictating correspondence to Secretary Loeb or Assistant Secretary Latta and chat ting with pr. Rixey and Benjamin Ide Wheeler, who made the return trip from Lansing as his guest.
 The president went at once to the White House and later to the executive offices to dispose of business which had accumulated. He is to start on June 9 for the Jamestown exposition, where Georgia day is to be celebrated on the 10th. On the 18th he will go to Oyster Bay. where, as he said. he hopes to pass quiet summer.
 President Roosevelt expressed him. self as having thoroughly enjoyed his trip and as having had very interest- ing time.
