TIE NATIONS WELCOME TO PER.

a Fitting Tribute is Paid TO the Con

a Full General

a Full General
The welcome given to General Per.
shing on his arrival in New York az
ceeded anything in the annals of our
times.
It eclipsed the welcome given to
General Grant on his return from
his tour Of the world.
President Wilson, commandment
chief of the army and spokesman for
the nation addressed him beauti-
ful and patriotic letter of welcome.
Secretary Baker acted as master
of ceremonies and made timely and
appropriate address of welcome.
Gazing proudly upon the soldiers
of the first division, Gen. Perphing in
response declared that the affection
ate words Of greeting overwhelmed
him with emotion. He was happy to
be once again on American soil, he
said The warmth Of his reception
made him feel, he said, that IF this
lis to continue, l believe that before
many days / might wish that the war
had not come to an end
Secretary Baker had been generous
in his compliments, Gen. Pershing
said, "as to my part in the war" He
declared, however, that ''the victory
was only won by the united effort OF
the nation =
The American army felt at all times
he said that it had the resolute
and unanarnous suppert of the peopia
at home.
The general emphasized the
achievements of his troops, declaring
that "the morale of our men was new
er for moment shaken"
All credit is due to those brave fel-
lows who faced without flipching and
with but little preparation, well
drilled army. 1t is to them, Mr.. Sec
retary and my friends, to whom we
owe the highest tribute for the win
ming of the war"
Referring tenderly to those who had
fallen in battle Gen. Pershing said:
Those whom we left behind are in
the hands of an affectionate and
grateful people. Their graves will be
visited by Americans who go abroad
and from these graves new lessons
of patriotism will be learned"
Gen. Pershing at the close of his
remarks turned to Secretary Baker
and requested him to convery to
President Wilson his sincere thanks
for the confidence that had been dis
played in him as commander-in-chiei
of the American expeditionary for
! ces."

EMOTIONS AND Sucn.

One Of the reasons why state eSecu-

ordinary session OF the legislatures Is
that the times are emotional and that
legislators are responsive 20 emotion in

together. The public nerves are raw.
The temperament OF the people Is on
edge. No sooner does one threatening
evil pass than another Is at hand.
Long before the high tension Of the
war had time to relax industrial strife
began. Along with this has been the
high cost OF living with Its grinding

tons have kept the mental tension OF

own. ths Baruum 4 Daley and the
Forepa ugh Sells enterprises have bean
united. Out Of the middle west the
Ringlings came and met the old es-
tsbiished amusement enterprises on
their own ground. forcing the struggle
for pre-eminence. and winning . hard
contest.
Unlike Barnum. the Ringlings were
circus men from their youth. Barnum
was q Spectator who turned his hand
to anything which gave promise OF
profit. His success as a Snowman was
built on successes and failures in many
other fields. The Ringing boys swap
ped n skiff they had tired of for o
pony. and started "show" under q
makeshift tent, admission to which
was bought with pins. Soon pennies
replaced the pins. and the family was
started on Its career. In the sos. the
brothers had q wagon show, trading
largely on the interest aroused by tina
advertising campaigns of the great
circuses OF those days. The brothers
were enterprising, shrewd, united.
What other circus men had to hire
strangers to do they did themselves.
There was q Ringing to supervise
every department Of the show. a Ring
ling to protect every Ringing interest.
The family was unusual, perhaps
unique. Certainly there have been
few enterprises brought up from Moth
ing to great Importance by a family
Of seven boys. all Joined together In
the same calling.
Railroads made the modern Amer
lean circus possible. Without them 1t
could not cover the territory 1t does

tents. the menagerie, the horses, the
laborers. the managers. the athletes 1t
must have. Perhaps day will come
In which motor trucks will take the

man may even present q show trans
ported thru the air. A circus remains
essentially unchanged in the enter
talnment It offers. but 1t must take adj
vantage OF every modern Improvement.
It must always be UP with the times.
It IL said that the Ringlngs started
definitely In the show business with
less than 5000 capital. This may be
true. They had. however, something
better than money. Money can be
earned or borrowed. The Ringlings
had git. persistence. Initiative, un-
tagging industry. These qualities cam
not be borrowed. They can not be
improvised. With them men achieve
success, as the Ringlings did in the
intricate and difficult business Of run
