Hunters Replace Rough Riders.
Four years ago, a conspicuous feature
Of the inaugural parade was made up Of
rough riders. To-day their place was taken
in the pageant by contingent OF gentlemen
riders from the f~ox-huntine districts OF
Maryland and Virginia, all clad in reSuls-
ton pink coats and black caps. They we're
mounted on the finest horses that were
shown in the parade, all tho~rouehbreds,
satin-costed and handsome.
Preceding the great parade this after
noon, the pageant of the morning which
conducted President Taft and Vice PRIEST
dent Sherman to the capitol, the former
accompanied by President Roosevelt, while
not so b~rilliant-not so spectacular-was
swift to arouse in the minds OF the great
crowds the stirring events OF nearly half
a century ago. President TAFT had as his
personal escort and guard Of honor, the
Troop A, the black horse troop, OF CieVe-
uand, but as special escort Of honor he
had the veteran soldiers and sailors Of the
Grand Army OF the Republic, the men who
fought the nations battles when to do so
tried mems souls. Accompanying them was
that contingent OF younger soldiers, the
Spanish war veterans. In the division, too.
were the organizations OF the army and
navy union.
1t was a tumultuous reception which the
throngs gave the incoming and outgoing
presidents, and 1t was a cordial and heart
felt greeting which they reverently ac-
corded to that ~too-rapidly diminishing band
OF men who in time of wal were willing to
lay down their lives for the nation and in
time Of peace, join with the country in hon
oring the nations president.

consideration Of the conflicting reports OF
the majority and minority Of the ~consultinS

the War department and the executive
upon those reports. Recent suggestions
that something had occurred on the 18TH

OF a board OF competent engineers to ex-

the key TO the lock type. The report OF
that board shows That nothing has occurred

Recognition Not the Remedy.

But II may well admit of doubt whether.
in the case OF any race. an appointment
OF one OF their number TO a local office In
a community in which the race feeling is
so widespread and acute as TO interfere
with the ease and facility with which the
local government business can be done by
the appointee, is OF sufficient benefit by
way OF announcement TO the race to out
weigh the recurrence and increase Of race
feeling which such an appointment is likely
to e~ngender. Therefore, the executive in
recognizing the negro race by appointments
must exercise a careful discretion not there
by to do 1t more harm than good. On the
other hand we must be careful not TO en-
courage the mere pretense OF race feeling
manufactured in the interest OF individual
ambition.
Personally have not the slightest race
prejudice or feeling, and recognition OF its
existence only awakens in my heart a

among the numerous fishing clubs on
the Upper and Lower Potomac there is
keen rivalry for the honor Of enter
tanning him. Navigation on the Poto-

below as the Lower Potomac. The
Upper Potomac and its tributaries, in
Guiding the Shenandoah. abounds In

fishing waters. In the Lower Poto

NOTES OF ART

Spanish art is one of the live and
moving forces OF the present age In
art, yet the average student knows
300 years men of genius in art have
been giving the world something of
value from their studios in Spain, yet
they have not been commonly known
nor their works familiar"
With this idea and statement as his
theme. Ralph GARRISON, the well
known and highly rated Chicago por-
trait painter, lectured entertainingly
before an appreciative audience at the
First Congregational church Friday
evening. The lecture was under the
auspices of the Omaha Society of Fine
Arts, more commonly known as the
Art Club.
A fine collection of stereopticon
slides greatly enhance Mr.. Clarkson's
talk in interest and value, the pic
lures shown being examples Of the
best work OF the various masters of
Spain. Covering the periods of Span
ish art from the last of the sixteenth
century to the present day. Mr.. Clark
son narrated with striking distinctness
the characteristics OF each period and
told in an attractive way of the con-
tribution OF each to the present art of
the country His lecture was one of
the most didactic and yet entertain
ing illustrated addresses delivered in
Omaha this season and was most sue
cessful in point of attendance and in
terest manifested.
Mr.. Clarkson will deliver q lecture
in this city Monday evening in the
Pythian temple. The public is cord
tally invited. Mr.. Clarkson is being
brought here by Miss Anna Newman.
