went out to decorate the city in
honor of the Presidents return
home.
Labor Represented
At the plaza were hundreds Of
students from the junior and
senior high schools, specially
designated to represent their
schools at the celebration.
And there were thousands of
members of the Central Labor
Union and the Building Trades
Council, called out by their leader.
John Locher, to pay tribute to the
President.
Practically every District en-
ploye was there, since the Com
missioners had given all time off
to attend the reception, and there
were Government workers by the
thousand, their chief clerks hav-
ing agreed to allow them to take
off time and charge it against
their annual leave.
Bands Line Route
Many business establishments
remained closed until after the re-
ception to allow their employees to
participate in the welcoming cere-
monies.
The Democratic League Of the
District, headed by Arthur Claren-
don Smith,, assembled in a body
near the plaza and marched there
as a unit, with banners and band.
Other local Democratic groups also
came as units, cheering and sing
ing as they marched.
Along the route to the White
House we're bands from Catholic
University, st. Johns College,
George washington University,
the National Training School for
Boys, the Metropolitan Police Boys
Club, Central High School, the
121st Engineers and the Washing
ton Gas Light Company.
Marine Band Plays
At the White House, where
more thousands of persons, un-
able to get to the station recep-
ton, had gathered, the Marine
Band was playing as the presiden-
tial party drew up.

twas modified by special orders
broadcast last night by Col. John
w. Oehmann, commander, and
hundreds of guardsmen assisted
police in patroling the route of
the President, keeping back the
great crowds.
In addition to District residents
it was estimated that thousands
of persons came here from Balti-
more and other cities in Maryland
and Virginia to take part in this
greatest welcome ever given to any
President of the United States on
his return to the Capital.
Outside of the inaugural crowds,
which come from all parts Of the
nation, the largest similar gather
ing here before was when Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh returned
from his flight to Paris.

Drafting the idea of personally
participating in the opening cere-
monies of the Pan-American Con
ference at Buenos Aires on De-
cember l, President Roosevelt re-
turned briefly to Washington to-
day ito try to balance the budget,
thereby carrying out the first OF
the campaign pledges"
On November IT, the Presi-
dent will board the cruiser In
dianapoliS at some Southern
port for a fishing cruise, prob
ably in Caribbean waters. 1t is
this vacation cruise which may
be extended to take the Chief
Executive to South America for
a one-day visit in the Argentine
capital.
Before boarding the Indian
apolis, however. Mr.. Roosevelt
must lay the groundwork for his
1897 budget estimates. 1t was
this annual task principally that
was taking him back to Wash
ington.
There was a possibility the
President would remain in the
National Capital only a few days
and then go to Warm Springs.
He enjoys great seclusion at the
Little White House" in Georgia
and it has been his yearly custom
to wrestle with budget problems
there.
Also, the President must decide
upon a number of major appoint
ments to Federal posts that de-
liberately were left vacant until

notable to arrive was Gen. Malin
Craig, Chief of Staff of the Army,
and his aide.
District Commissioners HaZen,
Allen and Sultan were early arri-
walls. and we're followed by Attor-
ney General Cummings, Secretary
of Commerce Roper, Secretary OF
the Interior Ickes, Secretary of
State Hull and Secretary of War
Woodring.
Major Ernest w. Brown, super
intendent of police, who directed
the placing of several hundred
police and firemen in the plaza
and down the route of the PreSi-
dents ride home, was there early,
comforting with Col. Edward Star
ling of the Secret Service.
Meanwhile as the throng in the
plaza continued to grow. the Army
Band was playing by the Colum-
bus statue, while loud speakers
brought them reports on the ar
rival of the President.
Glad To Be Back
Marvin H. Mcintyre, secretary
to the President, was the first
to appear on the platform as the
private car came to a stop, and
the District Commissioners were
the first to board the train,
going inside to pay their re-
Spects to the President.
Mr.. and Mrs. James Roosevelt
followed and then members of
the Cabinet and other dignitaries.
A few minutes later the Presi-
dent appeared on the platform
with his son and a terrific roar
of welcome came from the privi-
legged group allowed on the lower
platform.
Waving his hand and smiling
broadly, the President said in
tones so low they could not be
heard far away:
Hello, everybody, I'm glad to
be back"
He then left the train to step
into his open car. and as he did
so was presented with a huge
bouquet of flowers by two little
girls, Gloria Nichols and Dorothea
Dennis, on behalf of the District
Democrats. He smiled again and
thanked them, then stepped into
the car, as the Navy Band played
1.-THE Star Spangled Banner"
Crowd ROars Greeting
AS the car mounted the incline
to the plaza a mighty roar went
up. Men, women and children,
many of whom had waited for
hours to have vantage spot to
see the President, all broke into
cheers and applause as his car
appeared.
The Army Band then took up
the music, playing The Star
Spangled Banner again while the
crowd uncovered and then

'silenced to hear the Presidents
brief message. expressing his
pleasure to be back home among
his "old neighbors."
Men, women and children
started gathering early in the
Plaza. The red of the morning
sun was still fighting its way
through gray clouds as the first
corners arrived to secure vantage
points.
Plaza Packed
An hour before the Presidential
train arrived in the station the
Plaza was packed with mass of
humanity.
But it was a good-natured
crowd, cheering, cheerful crowd.
For entertainment came music
from the Army band stationed at
the Columbus Statue. And came
other music as units arrived to
pay their respects to the PreSi-
dent. marching with their own
bands and drum corps, singing
and laughing.
From the distance came strains
of music from a dozen other bands,
stationed at intervals down Penn
sylvania Avenue along the route
the President took on his way to
the White House from the station.
Crowd ORDERLY
Hundreds of police, firemen and
members of the National Guard
were on duty in the plaza. But
the crowd was an orderly one.
From early morning the plaza
was closed off to traffic as the
people assembled. Street cars were
rerouted and automobiles were not
allowed in the plaza. Later, as
the presidential party moved off
down the avenue, all traffic was
halted, and scores of police were
posted to keep back the thousands
of persons who swarmed out to
see the President.
From every flagpole flew the
Stars and Stripes, and many
buildings had been decorated
overnight. For it was only yes

Liberty and the Constitution

Liberty and the Constitution
Today, says the Plymouth,
Wis, Review, certain critics
are subjecting the American
Constitution to vigorous at
tack. They are saying it is
outmoded and unable to cope
with modern conditions. And
they are suggesting changes
and amendments which, in
some cases, would amount to
complete emasculation of the
rights and liberties we now
enjoy under Constitutional
protection.
"Let us not be too hasty
about changing this document
of which a major portion is
devoted to protecting our
rights and liberties. The con-
stitution has been amended
many times, and may be
again, but never in such a
manner as to abridge the
rights of freedom of speech,
freedom of the press, and the
other inalienable rights guar
anteed within it.
'It is usually easier to crit
icize than to defend, and the
critics of the Constitution
have found many listeners
and not a few converts. Lest
we forget the virtues of this
marvellous document, let us re-
call the words uttered in 1878
by England's greatest states
man, William Gladstone:
"The American Constitution
is, as far as / can see, the
most wonderful work ever
struck off at a given time by
the brain and purpose of
man."
'Some things are timely.
Among those things are free
dom-freedom of action with
in the law, freedom of express
sion, freedom of speech. The
Constitution has nothing to
do with booms or depressions
nothing to do with partisan
politics, nor have those who
interpret it, the Supreme
Court of the United States.
"The Constitution guaran-
tees us those essential liber-
ties for which men fought for
thousands of years. How
much would the citizens of
Germany, Russia, Italy or Po-
land give for a constitution
such as ours? 1t is our most
priceless heritage, and we
have a duty to posterity to
pass on to them the same lib
critics which were handed
down to u.s."
