Of Welcome Creets Col.
Roosevelt at Kansas City.
He Talks to Children and to
The Men and Women.
Same Enthusiasm Met That Has
Elsewhere Been Shown.

Kansas City. Mo. Sept 1.-The peo-
pie of Missouri kept up with a vim
the roar of enthusiastic welcome which
is following Theodore Roosevelt every
where in the West. Crowds which
blocked the streets of Kansas City
cheered him wherever he made an APP
pearance and the three speeches he
made here were received with shouts
of approval. The colonel was told that
he was "Insurgent through and
through" in a song which was sung
in his honor at luncheon today but he
said it would be better to call him a
Progressive.
The members of the Commercial
Club, who were entertaining him.
cheered his definition of his political
status.
1t was raining hard when Colonel
Roosevelt. after stopping at Kansas
City. Kas. to make a speech. reached
this city. but thousands of people were
at the station to see him. After a
parade through the business section
of the city, and the luncheon, the col
onel went to the Westport High school
and talked to the pupils. He wound up
the day by making speech to a
throng that filed the auditorium. His
speech was about honesty :, in public
and private life.
On the way to and from the school
house, Mr.. Roosevelt was escorted by
9 squad of policemen mounted on mo-
tor cycles.
Being exempt from the operation of
the speed laws for the time. the col
onel's chauffeur opened the throttle
wide and whizzed over the hOulevardS
at rate which made the colonel jam
his hat down hard and gasp for breath.
The auditorium of the High school
was crowded with students when the
colonel arrived and they stood on their
feet and gave him the Chautauqua sa-
lutte, while at the same time they
shouted at the top of their voices.
AS soon as they would let him speak.
the colonel said he had confession

the audience. because half of it was
composed of girls whom he never
knew how to handle.

said. land only two girls. The girls
were both in charge of their mother
until they grew up and then they took
charge of me. They have treated me
kindly but firmly
Colonel Roosevelt then told them
some stories of Africa.
Before the colonel departed. he gave
the children some advice. To the girls
he said:

His advice to the boys was giver
