VISITORS bE | N l | \ RR|VE l N WASHINGTON NOW
100000 Persons Will! Attend Great Shrine Party In
 June

Members of the Shrine. their wives and children are already pouring into the capital of the nation to attend the annual imperial council session, which is to be held in June.
 Few who are coming have any con ception of the magnitude of the gathering, and less, as yet, sense the great importance oi this convention to the country at large.
 For no other convention, no other event of any kind, has ever drawn to the capital of the nation so large d crowd of people, or from so many sections of the country. At an in- auguration of a President, thousands come. for day, but here will be hun dreds of thousands for a week or more.
 The country does not know well it's Washington, or it's government. And here will be 100000 visitors, from every state and every city in the union, spending a week or more visit ing and learning of the government machinery which they provide to gov ern themselves: the effects can not help but be farreaching and lasting and infinitely more important social l ly, politically and governmental l than the deliberation of the order which draws the throng together, be 1 their magnitude what 1t may. | The more we Americans know ot our country. the better we love it the more We know of our govern- ment, the more interest We take in it | the better we make it.
 | The educational feature of triI to Washington has always been con Sfdered well worth while for and by the individual. The educational ef. feet of so massed a gathering of in. i divtduals of so absolutely representa- | tive a type, can only be guessed, bu it must work out to the great ad vantage of us all. in spreading through the country a better concep ton of what, nationally, the capita city and it's governmental mechan ism really is.
