surged into the street. All the way UP
Farnam street the thousands Of
throats sent up medley of cheers.
But one untoward incident marked
the march on Sixteenth street.
An aged democrat, fired with corn
juice, insisted on breaking through
the lines and, waving both hands and
his hat in the air, shouted, "I'm a
democrat and free American, but
won't vote for you" He was taken in
charge by secret service men. g.
Thousands of boys, perched on the
tops of buildings where the parade
was forming, became tired at the long
wait past the appointed hour and with
their megaphones and quips made life
miserable for officers and spectators.
While the crowds were being

stores. some woman missed her dog.
The canine became entangled in the
feet OF the multitude and was finally
forced into the street. Then the meg

doggie," and young America began
whlstling catcalls. Rover was finally

President and Mrs. Wilson Get Most
Rousing Welcome From Omahans

When President Wilson's big tour
ing car swung into line at the head OF
the historical parade at Sixteenth and
Cunning streets, followed by his party
in a dozen open autos, tens OF thou
sands of people had waited in the hot
sun twenty-five minutes after the time
set for the start of the pageant. 1t
was 225 when the presidential car
drove up Seventeenth street from the
Commercial club to avoid the crowds
jammed on Sixteenth. When the big
machine drove up to the reviewing
stand in front of the court house it
was 2:55, and during the thirty min
utes' ride over the parade route on
the downtown streets the chief execu-
tive was given such welcome as was
never before extended by the metrop-
oils OF the middle west.
When the car ten blocks in advance
of the main section of the parade,
reached Sixteenth and California
streets the president rose to his feet
to better greet the crowd.
At Sixteenth and Dodge streets the
surging mass OF humanity refused to
obey mandates of police officers
mounted on white chargers and
swooped into the forbidden center of
the street, surrounded the president

fact is, big business had plenty of
sympathy, but bad business ought not
to have had any sympathy.
Some OF the days when the tide
OF business runs free. you'll look back
and say, that is when the, channels
were dug for this tide"

give myself this great pleasure.

TIME FOR DANGERS
First Inaugural BALI Float
Makes Hit With Executive
On Reviewing Stand.
MRS. WILSON LIKES DIXIE

President Wilson enjoyed every
minute the time spent in the review
ing stand, while the historical pageant
passed. He smiled and bowed and
took a keen interest, turning now and
then to his wife, Secretary Tumulty
and others in his party.
The First Inaugural Ball" float
stopped in front of the presidential
stand for several minutes. William E.
Chambers and group of young men
and women on this float took advant-
age of the situation by going through
the movements of a quadrille, Mr..
Chambers leading with considerable
vim. The president, who had been
standing, tapped time for the dancers
with his hat and hand and several
times his feet moved as if he would
have enjoyed the dance himself. The
president was within few feet of the
dancers.
Indians See white Father"
The president and his wife re-
viewed the Indians with keen interest
and the Indians cast furtive glances
at The Great White Father" who
lives at Washington. One of the
braves yelled something which
sounded like Hello, Williep which
salutation evoked smile from the
president and Mrs. Wilson.
Mrs. Wilson was seated until band
struck up Dixie when she stood
beside the president and did not re-
turn to her seat for several minutes.
She is member of the First Families
of Virginia and Dixie" means much
to her ears.
While the prairie schooners, drawn
by oxen, were passing in review the
president turned to Governor More
head and Senator Hitchcock and made
a reference to the antiquity of the
scene.
No Detail Escapes.
Not the slightest detail of the
parade escaped the presidents eyes.
The group showing the MormonS
who left Florence in 1856 with their
push carts, stopped in front of the re-
viewing stand and one OF the carts
collided with the cart ahead, and in
cident which aroused the risibilities OF
the president.
You're right there all OF the timer
was remark to the president by a
snember of the group, representing
General Fremont and Kit Carson and
their encourage.
The words, Popular Sovereignty"
on the territorial seal brought an
other presidential smile.

packed the sidewalks and pressed
against the steel cables for hours be-
fore the parade was to begin. This
