Soldiers Home, Los Angeles 1
 Co.,, Calf, Sept. I2, IoI2. ] Editor SUN:
 The day before yesterday was a gala day in Los Angeles. The annual encampment of the G. A.. R. It was parade day and quite a number of the old veterans from the Home participated Uncle Sam Post c. A. R. and the Union Veteran Legion, your hum- ble servant included, by the grace of the Pacific Electric railway, which gave us a one-way rate for round trip. Barring the grizzled old heroes, etc., it was grand. All the beautiful women of Los Angeles and for miles around were out to see the procession. 1 expect there might have been some plain women too but l didn't t see any. They all looked beau tiful, both men and women, for they all tried, by strewing flowers along the line of march, to outvie each other to show their regard and welcome to their city. One of the remarkable and pleasing features was the boys brass band. They were boys, not men, ranging from eight to fourteen years of age, with drum major of the age of seven or eight-a bonifide drum major. Their uniform was of the zouave type, The band was from a Catholic school or seminary here. If the drum major had had a bearskin chapeau he would have been perfect. As it was, he realized that he was an important adjunct to the band. There was no bungling or anna teurishness in his handling of the staff. He was as dignified as any old swaddie who had served a life time in the regular army and been retired as an ordinance ser geant, or some presidential favor ite that had been retired as a brigadier general. Then there was Crooks drum corps of Den- yer with girl drummer. The wonderful thing about it was that she was actually pretty and could beat the drum; then the Exami- ner's Newsboys Band, another real band that could dispense music. They wore white uniforms and made creditable appearance

By Representative Joseph Taggart Of

There was a strong sentiment in
Kansas for Governor Woodrow Will
son from the very hour he was first
mentioned for the Presidency. Since
his nomination, the Governor has con-
stantly grown in strength and favor
In Kansas. The aspiring and restless
people of Kanass are worshipers Of
intellect. No state in the Union has
made such efforts in behalf of pub
lie education. Kansas has always
been a region of hope, where all
things are possible. That million and
three-quarters Of people-the most
prosperous in the worId-are giving
their thoughts to the solution Of ma
Gonrwide and even worldwide prob
lens. They regard Governor Wilson
as the most brilliant man that has ar
peared in public life since the days
Of Thomas Jefferson. They believe
that his election as President of the
United States will give an impetus
to scientific study, to broader and
deeper learning, and to more COM
