Weekly Letter Telling of the Do
ings in the White City.

ings in the White City.
The political observers in the
national capital are almost
amazed at the extraordinary pop
ularity which the President con-
tinues to enjoy throughout the
country, as is being demonstrat
ed by his western trip. Sena-
tors and Representatives and
others who come to Washington,
all declare that Mr.. Roosevelt
can be nominated next summer
if he wants to and that if he
were he would poll an even
larger vote than that by which
he defeated Alton B. Parker,
three years ago. But the ques-
ton which is agitating those
whose intimacy with the Presi-
dent has led them to accept his
statement that under no circum-
stances will he accept another
nomination, is whether he can
utilize his great personal popu-
larity to insure the nomination
of the man of his choice, VIM.
H. Taft. On this point there is
still some difference of opinion
although a considerable majority
believe that if the people once
understand that nothing viii in
duce him to accept, they will be
only too ready to nominate the
man whom Mr.. Roosevelt re-
CARDS as best fitted by sympathy
and experience to carry on the
/ work where he leaves of and to
adhere to the policies OF that
greater Republican party of
which Theodore Roosevelt is to-
day the head, and TO some ex.
tent the father. OF course there
can be found men who insist
that "the President cannot die.
tate his successor" and once the
public realizes that he will not
become a candidate it will de-
mand that it be left TO make its
own choice unhampered and in.
fuenced by the President. II
Mr.. Roosevelt were actually try
ing 10 dictate whom his party
should select as his successor.

spirit Of independence in the
American people--and really the
American people and the Repub.
hcan party have almost come 10
be synonymous to resent such
dictation. But the President is
not and viii not try 70 force his
party. His attitude is very diff
fereit. He will merely advise
the members Of his party that
he cannot run again, that he has
served the party as its leader
and President Of the United
States for seven years and that
it is not right TO ask any man Ia
stand longer the terrific strain
which must fall on every Presi-
dent Then he win say 10 them

OF nearly two hours behind closed

ed by a brief open one. in which Mr..

The regular session on last Monday
night was repetition of the several
past sessions with reference to attend
ance and interest and MANY improve
ments for the Castle Hall were taken
uuder consideration and passed upon.
A united sentiment seems to prevail
among the members to make our castle
one OF the most attractive and inviting
within the bounds of the domain OF
Mississippi and it only requi es determ-
ination to succeed, Among the rank
work treats in store was the advance
ment of R. R. Crumpton to the Rank
of Esquire, and that gentleman has
signed the pledge never again to wear
an Irgersoll watch. Esquires H. T..
Francis and Elmer Stone were then
called and after being weighed in the
Pythian balance were invested with
the armor of Knighthood, which by
the way appeared to fit to nicety.
A new sovereign has been selected to
lead the ceremonies attending the Am
plified Form of Knight and all assist
ants have been notified that on next
Monday night business will pick up.
Moreover. it is reported that there will
be considerable "didding" after the
closing.

mise, but it carried.
So great was the demand to
hear the addresses on the bill
the crowd could not be kept out
and the big doors of the senate
hall were thrown open to all.
At once the room filled until the
senators could hardly find room
to stand and thelobby was filled
with the overflow crowded to the
