Peace Par Celebration.The Advertising Club, of the Community GJub, or somebody, got up | v the prettiest parade we ever saw in j Washington. It was an old-fashioned \ s torch light parade like the country j g used to have in campaign times, th r- . h ty years ago. Thousands marched, j tl and thousands looked on. We did not j h know there were as many people in 1 ]y the world, as appeared on the streets hthat Monday night. j 1lt;And noise, gee whilikins, you could- a n’t hear yourself think. Automobile g horns, shot guns, horse fiddles, fire a crackers, everything to raise hades, a and put a chunk under it. aThen there was a mammoth bon g fire in front of Dr. Stewart’s house, ti near the court house, that burned ti half an hour. Then Charley Dewey, h no, we mean Judge Dewey, called the h crowd to some sort of order, and Prof. gC. A. King led a bit of community j*singing, and the chairman called for a Father Hartigan for a few remarks, d He wasn’t there, and the writer spoke g: briefly, and then Col. D. J. Palmer, glt; and that ended the formal part of the o1 program. Later, however, somebody b burned up a lot of baled paper that(Ike Cohn had piled up along the curb, a:for shipment, and they got about six dlt; bales of the Democrat’s. wThis may cause the war to break : ai out all over again, as there is to be it a row betwen Jew and Philistine, un-1 tl less we get some adjustment. We j Si have issued no ultimatum, and no ei protocol, and no “clarion” not of any sort, so we hope there will be no race war, anyhow, and in r.rywise, Washington had a glorious time that will never be forgotten, in honor of the boys over there.n:aiUby
