Capt. Snaithman. owner of the power
boat Truant, is arranging to have his
boat overhauled at once, to have her in
shape for spring cruising on the Po-

cruise up the Atlantic coast.
The big cruising yacht Idlewild, which
was recently fitted with a new engine

sympathy TO the capital in all her needs.
He declared that no President since the
forefathers had taken a keener personal
interest in the city and it's welfare than
President Taft.
Never before has a President received a
more cordial ovation from the citizens of
Washington than that accorded President
Taft last night. Four hundred of the
leading men of the capital joined in ac-
claiming him their steadfast friend. And
when at the end Of his address he said
goodbye" shouts of mo, no." and -Four

would be returned to the White House at
the end of that period, filled the air.

In this advocacy of capital development
President Taft is in good company. The
greatest Of our public men have been the
strongest champions of the capital. George
Washington created it and gave it his
name. Thomas Jefferson with and follow
ing Washington was planner, founder
and upbuilder of the city. Andrew Jack
son threw himself with enthusiasm into
the work of adequately bridging the Po-
tomac; urged the allowance of a delegate
in Congress to the District and in his adj
ministration with his cooperation and
sympathy the nation came to the financial
relief of the community bankrupted in
performing the nations task. DiScr1mina-
ton between the later Presidents from
Lincoln to Taft, all of whom have been
friends of the District, would be invidious.
Grant, the man Of deeds, not words, had
the opportunity which he effectively util-
lied to lay broad and deep the founda-
tons of Washington a S truly the nation S
city.
Great men from all sections, in Con-
gress as well as the White House, have
delighted to labor to make the capital
worthy of the republic. Clearly there is
