SOME REUNION NOTES.

| Count the windows in the state house
! and then multiply the number by two,
and you will know how many flags
will wave a greeting to President Taft
and the assembled soldiers and citi-
zenS who come to the great reunion on
the 9th. Two American flags will
/ float from every window of the great
building, and the flag staffs will bear
the stars and stripes. Never in the
history of Kansas. probably. will the
Kansas capital building be so splend-
idly decorated with flags.
Across the capitol grounds to the
east will be another bower of Ameri-
can beauty and patriotism. General
Manager Kouns, of the Santa Fe, has
promised to deliberately decorate the
two big Office buildings which face
capitol square, and every one who
knows Mr. Kouns will understand that
this decoration will be very attrac-
tive.
It is hoped that the business houses
of the city will not neglect the mat
ter of decoration for the great meet
ing on Presidents day in the state
around capitol square on the line of
the great parade will be 1ttingly
graced with flags. Kansas avenue
should wave patriotic welcome to
this, the last statewide reunion to be
held by the survivors of the war of
the rebellion. Every flag in Topeka,
and there are many thousands of them,
should be unfurled in honor of the
coming of the soldiers and patriotic
citizens of the state.
Tom Doran, of the Country club, will
have charge Of the automobiles that
will convey the president and his party
from the Santa FTe depot to the club
for breakfast, thence to Washburn col
lege, and to Eleventh and Harrison
streets where President Taft will join
the great parade. Tom Doran is a son
of a veteran, and he will see to it that
not a minute is lost in making this
trip.
Thousands of Kansas veterans are
hoping that General Daniel E. Sickles
of New York, will be able to meet
with his comrades in the big reunion. !
He told the Kansas delegation who at |
tended the recent national encamp-
ment that he would be here if he was
able to travel. Many old veterans are |
coming especially to greet the old COM
