REPUBLICAN FAREWELL OR Az
aEyo,R TO ROOSEVELT

Mr.. Roosevelt. the alternately lam
basted and praised chief executive OF
the United States for seven years
ending at noon OF thursday last.
smashed another precedent In the
manner of his leave.takins.
Heretofore it has been the custom
Ter a retiring President to return 10
the White House with his successor
after the inaugural ceremonies at the
capitol, and later to quietly make MS
exit and hetake himself to whatao'
ever point he had chosen as his desh-
nation. As a rule the departing
statesman attracts little or no atten'
ton from the crowds and he boards
his train under conditions OF neglect
on the part Of the pubic amounting
almost TO the pathetic.
But It is not in Hon. Theodore
RcSseven's nature to play secohd
fiddle to anybody. not even to the
man whom he made President Of the
United States. Hence he went
strsightway from the capitol building
to the railway station immedia'ei!
following the conclusion Of President
Taf,'s inaugural address. a very scns''
blc proceeding We think.
A. the Washington railway station.
II mus, be noted that MIR. Roosevelt
vas the ccuter o. popular demon
s,ration such as has not been accord
ed under similar circumstances to
any one Of his predecessors within
the memory of the present genera
,icn.
Il probably is true that the thronS
tina. followed Mr.. Roosevelt to his
train were made ua in large part Of
those spectators who. because of the
holding Of the inaugural ceremonies
Indoors. could find nothing else with
which 10 ep,ertain themselves.
But many others were there Z" pa,
tribute TO the man. persons who BE-
lieye that his CONNIE ndatory acts a
chief magistrate Of the nation out
weigh his faults and foiblcs.
There are visible In abundance
other signs which indicate that th'
knight OF the Big Stick" il sill
q very popular man with the ran'
and Gle cf his party throughout the
country in spite o. the numbcries'
castieai ions he has been subjected I,
Of late from many different quarter
-soue Of which were just aud other,
upwarran,cd.
II IS easily within Mr.. Tafts COVE
20 make Of himself q better Pres'
dent than Mr.. Roosevelt made OF hin

to go up to New York on business a

hard for two or three days and on

Novel Idea for Getting Pennies.

Probably there is no church in Phil
adelphia that is so original as a church
located in the suburbs. This church
has struck upon novel idea for gath
ering in the pennies. There have been
distributed a number of small envel-
opes to the various members, the idea
being to make mile of pennies. Each
member is requested to put in his or
her. envelope 16 cents, or a foot Of
pennies when laid side by side. The
church is called upon to meet an ex-
pense every Christmas for decorations
and special music, and in the desire to
raise enough money without going into
the regular treasury the church Off
Gals struck upon this scheme-Phila-
