GOLDEN JjUBILEE t (Continued from page one) welcome, the kind that no other people , _«au" surpass in generosity. These same people had sent a host of their %ons to the front during the dark days of Til, and know full well the costly sacrifices ■ and heroic struggle by winch our Union of states was purchased aft -maintained. 1 That is one of the principle reasons that J their hearts go out to these old grey- J headed veterans. They remind them > that they were orfce the young boys in f blue. " ' I was greatly impressed with all thatj I saw. It denoted all that American.^ enterprise, pnaE?ana. energy was capable | of doing. I was told by one of the city | ® officials that the cjtyriiad a wonderful I growth. In the last fifteen years the I population had nearly doubled, aud the | ^ building-up had kept pare with it- He i said that some yea^s ago the city was | ruled by a bad sfet of men, but the j ^ people downed the "gang," and since j ^ then the city has 'made rapid strides, i It was the samv old stprv, ancient | _ history. Wrong (methods and bad ways . ' have a way of punishing the men who use them. Sooner or later they will v realize that they have over-stepped the . line. One of the fundamental principle? ( of American thought is the idea of the | right of every man to his own posses- j sion., an idea that is scarcely compre- g bended in Europe. ^ Kansas .City has one of the most . beautiful parks that there is in- this , country. The ' whole of it seems to be t on high ground, and laid out with great ( care and skill. One can look far away f over, the fine country and fahn?, and sc Immense fields of waving grain and corn. , The sun flower seems to be their ( State Emblem of Flowers It grows everywhere — vast fields of them, in the j front and back yards, on bi'l . sides, — f no matter* in what direction you turn, , you set them in front of you, back of f you, and on both sides. They are of all , sizes, some mammouth and. tail,' hut all j the same cheerful color. The veterans of that state wore them as badges, but made of yellow flannel. v Tuesday, Augjoth, 19 16.

The Jersey Head- t quarters were located on the 6 th floor, a suite of rooms, for visitors and the r department officials to transact busi- t nesa. Veterans from many states railed t •.entered their names cm the book, inquired of old friends, and it was refresh- c ing sometimes to see them meet men f that they had not seen since the close g of the war— their surprise and joy on f their faces! It was very touching.. si> ^ to speak, that of itself is one of the . greatest features of tnete SUte and „ National Encampments. No on# but an old veteran can fully understand the c mekining of it: when you meet a man whom you knew when he wag a mere t boy, marched side by side with him, a •day after day and night, shared with e him your rations of pork .beans, hard- p tack, and coffee, lay down at night under p the same blankets, stood side by side on n the firing line, cared for him, if some ,, "Johnny" got bim with buck or ball, and if he recovered and returned to you, the p pleasure you felt for him was ten-fold p greater than ever, and if you both re- c turned home after the war, and each 0 one went to his seperate home, you may j perhaps have followed different vocaFrank J.

" Fifteen thousand veterans mingled 1 with the crowds on the streets of Kansas a to-day. Hotel lobbies were filled ' with the defenders of the Union.' It was ; day of memories for those who had fought and bled for the cause. - At the twenty-eigth regiment booths - in Convention Hall, comrade iqgt for the first time since their parting when ' mustered out. 1 Thirty -five hundred registered at the <1 registration booth in the Hall, and eight » thou Band werq assigned to rooms at the established in the Union station. " The attendance, because of the in- * creased railroad rates, the impending 1 strike, and tbq hot weather, was not so great as it might have been under more f favorable conditions, but at that, it 4 will reagh nearly forty thousand A sur- c prisingly small number of fatalities or T accidents" was reported. v A year ago, at Washington, the En- s campment was much larger in numbers. v The Encampment will open at 8 P. M. e with a semi-official meeting 0 at Convention fiall. At this time Gov- 1 Arthur Capper of Kansas, will de- f an address of Welcome. Captain 1 Elias R. Monfort, the National Com- d mander-in-Chief, wilt assume official .k control of the Encampment. tl The musical program will be furnished by the Kansas City Sacred Chorus, com- tl posed of eight hundred voices. The Boy v huve formed the workingjlpart " of the Encampment. A common sight I in the down-town streets is to see a e small boy leading by the arm one of the * veterans. 1 The big parade of to-morrow, of the 1 A. R., will start at 10 A. M. sharp. I Chief Hammil has 150 patrolmen to G guard the parade line. From 8 A. M„ until after the -parade, the police will « permit no vehicle to use the streets on ' the route of the^rade. or on the line of a formation. a WednesOjy, Aug. 30th. o Kansas -City views the greatest If not the largest parade ever known here, the b roate of the parade being a solid mass of ' humanity. At the windows of houses, I on the tops of roofa, in trees— in all it

^ conteivcb.r places, the population was prepareii to view the parade of veterans. 0 Old soldiers beg^i, 10 torai in parade 1 about !» A^ M., and a tew minutes after ten- o'clock the. column began to " move.

' The Grand Army of th.- Republic marched to another victory to-day because it marched as conqueror* of time f another year. | People marveled at* the alertness of ( the veterans. It was only the fighting I spirit that kept them going. There was time, as the "Boys of Til" grew, into ' the "Old Soldiers," thgt the annual par- ' ade was characteried by tie frequent' exclamation of "My, how there feet " must hurt!" " But to-day thousands of the people wondered that the old men's feel seemed * to hurt so little. 1 None estimated the crowd of people 1 than a hundred thousand. Some said "Ail GVeater Kansas City came ' town and brought the company ( The -thousands did not come to see 1 arntV. It was the spirit of an army * they saw, but a spirit that no longer ' exact time or line. 4 The parade route from Ninth and 4 Streets wound through the down ' districts, to Convention HalL It covered eighteen blocks, and the time -of 1 waiting was the most tiring. Several 1 veterans became ill standing in line, and i became oover-heated. But none f dangerously ill. It was the sturdi- c est of the old men who stood the march, 4 or those of the moat persevering spirit. ' Time, by elimination, has chosen them c a valient company of millions of 1 class fighting men. Marching, shoul- f straightened, canes became raus- ' or swords again— the survival of 1 fitest, so to speak. r Something caught in many people's 1 a« the blue-coated men came into 1 view.

A. R. ' . Everybody felt that the parade to-day * assuredly the last— an epoch in his- 1 fifty years has healed the breach, and a dozen "Johnnie Rebs" in Confederate grey marched arm in arm with their old enemies in blue. A pair of Kansas veterans, grizzled | spry, stopped before the reviewing • stand and started to dance a Jig. , mingled wK* tsars greeted ■ them. The indomitable will that «*r-

contribute to a great ami historic spectacle. There was something bigger than that, and better, that kept these old men on their feet, when the last ounce of strength tfaad been called upon to sustain them. It was the lighting- spirit, inculcated in youth at Gettysburg, Bull Run, Shiloh, the seven days fight st the Wilderness — in other .words, in four years of grim war. An old veteran, very tired, discarded lib coat and would have fallen bad it aot been for two strong men who walked liesids him, two Boy Scoift* carrying a tr'teber. which everybody thought would be needed the next moment, but tin- old mgn was shaking his head. " The crowd cheered bim to the echo, and he deliberately lifted his hat in acknowledgment. Th/ people of the United Sta'tes should he frequently reminded that the achieveT11 nU of the /Soldiers of 1SGI To 1865 hare won for them the rights and priy i'eges enjoyed in this Greatest and most Glorious Cbuntry among the Nations of the World. "No siree," called a voice from the Grand -Stand. "They won't get him ; ak? away your old stretcher!", Past 151, from Ohio, wore buckqye , nuts about their necks, and the veterpr ' Vilor Bearer carried the original stand*rd of his company. Louder than any others were the cheers that greeted the tattered flag the gun- boat "Choctaw."

Flags were everywhere, and the Hall was blocked off so that- delegates from each state were seated to- ( gether, each state-block being marked = otj the aisle. The events . of note were, the annual addresses of the Commander-in-Chief, and the acceptance of a gift of $250.00 in gold -from the Sons of Auxiliary to the permanent of the G.
