Washington during the last
week has grduaally awakened to
the fact that it is in the midst of
the greatest woman suffrage cru
SADIE ever attempted on national
scale in the United States. In pre-
paration for the suffrage pageant
and procession on March 3, meet
ings have been held throughout
the city, on street corners and be-
fore the buildings housing the
great departments of the govern
ment, until the people of the CAPT.
tai city have become convinced
that they are going to have forty
seven different varities of thrills
during Inauguration week.
While the underlying motive of
the procession and pageant is
most serious there will be plenty
of entertaining features, the ranks
of "Genl. Rosalie Jones Army,
which will walk from New York
to Washington, leaving the for
mer city on February II, it is
said, have already begun to gath
err, while the ranks of the petit
coat cavalry, which will be an
important feature of the parade,
are said to be filling rapidly.
The pageant which will be in
progress while the procession is
moving along Pennsylvania Ave.
will be presented on the south
portico of the Treasury building.
Opposite is commanding statue
of Genl. Sherman, while just west
is the white house and across the
beautiful Potomac is restful Arl-
ington, where the known and I'M
known heroes of the nation "sleep
their last long Sleep The set
ting afforded by the lofty col
umns, the stately flight of steps
and the spacious plaza of the
treasury building is an inspiring
one.
Only two men in the country
know who is going into Wilson's
Cabinet, said a newspaper man
who accompanied Joseph Tumul-
ty, President -elect Wilson s secre-
tary to be, to Washington one
day last week, land they are Joe
Tumulty and Col. E. M. House of
New York and Texas. And they
will never tell until President
elect Wilson says the words
Tumulty knows nothing but
to keep faith with his chief. He
is the personification of the sphinx
and he will keep the Presidential
conscience inviolate. Tumulty
knows nothing but blind obedi-
ence of orders and while news of
many kinds will be taken % the
white house in the next four years
