4. Greenlease, ably conducts it in first
class order all the time.
BIZ ten o'clock On Monday morning,
March ?, We were On our way to the
Capitol Of this the greatest Of all the
greatest nations on earth and felt
proud Of the fact that we were able to
walk with our head erect and could
proclaim 10 all the world that we were
All inseparable part and parcel Of the
great citizenship Of America.
Passing on through the Capitol we
were headed for the offices OF Hon.
Martin B. Madden, member Of Con
gress from the First Congressional
District IF Illinois, and the very able
chairman 81 the Committee on APP
preparations " tile House 81 Repre-
sentatives. Congressman Madden oc-
cupies the most elaborate suite Of Of
fees VI any 81 the public officials. in
connection with the United States
Government at Washington. His
rooms are more than one hundred feet
long Of deep and forty to fifty feet
wide. They are furnished in the most
lavish and gorgeous manner Aside
from his private secretary, Mfr. John
Gilbert Nettleton, who has faithfully
served him in that capacity for more
than twenty-five years. Almost one
dozen assistant secretaries are at the
beck and call 81 Congressman Mad
den and a young colored man occupies
seat Oh the threshold IF the wide
doors leading into his rooms and looks
every person III the eyes as they enter
and depart from the rooms Of the
Chairman IF the Committee On APP
preparations for the Congress 81 the
United States Of America, who has
more callers each day than the Presi-
dent Of the United States.
Congressman Madden was over in
the house when We arrived at his Of
fee and as no one was able TO inform
Us just when he would return we
made up our mind to stroll over that
way. and as we approached the door
Of the House OF Representative our
eyes fell upon him. He was sur
rounded By big bunch OF Congress
men, seemingly all Of them were en-
deavoring to talk at the same time,
and just as soon as Congressman
Madden beheld us he broke away
from them He rushed over to greet
rs, warmly grasping Us by the hand
and placing his other hand on our
shoulder he exclaimed, Il am glad
to see you; I am glad that you are
here" Then he said that the session
Of Congress was rapidly drawing to
close that the House was in an up
roar; that be was sorry that he would
not have time to talk to us until Tues
day morning, March 3. In the mean
time he requested us to inform his
private secretary to secure tickets for
us to witness the inaugural cere-
monies. On calling on Congressman
Madden on Tuesday morning, after
enjoying very pleasant chat with
him, he presented us with two tickets
which enabled us to witness the in
augural ceremonies and distinctly hear
every word which fell from the lips
OF President Coolidge while deliver
ing his most brilliant and logical in
augural address, which is full Of hope
and encouragement for all the Amer
lean people; which will live in the
hearts Of his fellow countrymen for
many ages to come.
