east front of the capitol but an express
sion of humility, mingled with realiza-
ton of the heavy burdens he was about
to assume, and of manly determination
faithfully to discharge the manifold
duties of his high Office as he bent his
head and repeated in clear voice the
words:
do solemnly swear that I will faithfully
execute the office of President of the United
States and will to the best of my ability
preserve, protect and defend the cOnStitu-
tion of the United States.
Thus did William Mckinley gather
from the hand of Grover Cleveland the
reins of power and became President of
the United States, the twenty-third of
that grand line of rulers, chosen by the
people of America
A Grand Inauguration.
There have been many inaugurations
in Washington, but in many respects that
of March 4, 1927, will go down in history
as eXcelling all that have gone before.
The citizens of the capital city worked
to that end with degree Of energy I'M
known even in this ceremony-loying COM
munity and the great popular demonstra-
ton of today was unique and shining
success in every particular. In beauty,
In taste, in novelty, the decora-
tons of the city were incomparably
superior to anything ever seen in Wash
Ington; the magnificent body of regular
United States troops was more numerous
than any gathering since Grants great
display at the close Of the war Seven
teen sovereign states had their citizens in
the line Of parade and over sixty civil or
CARNATIONS helped swell its magnificent
proportions. Along the broad avenue. on
every open space, were erected grand
stands that instead of being disfigure-
ments to the scene as has been the case
IN days gone by, mere scaffolds of rough
boards were not only comfortably COW
cred and of pretty architectural design
but were most appropriately and substan-
tally decorated
The citizens had spent money with a
liberal hand to beautify their homes and
with the aid Of thousands of flags cf
every kind loaned by the national gov
eminent, Pennsylvania, the great ave
nue. in the capital, was turned into a
rainbow of bright color in which Old
Glory predOminated. The line of march

of the parade was longer than usual
full four miles in length-made so as to
ease the pressure of spectators upon the
line in the central section of the city and
to ensure the maintenance of the line I'M
broken. Gen. Horace Porter. the grand
marshal, reviewed the parade from Il
point on Vermont avenue and X street
well along towards the place set for dis
banding.
Weather is Propitious.
To witness all this display there was n
mighty gathering of the American people
In the capital, and even up TO noon today
the railroads poured thousands into the
city to swell the great total OF strangers.
1t showed faith to accept the positive
prediction of good weather sent out yes
terday morning in the midst Of dfiZZling
rain by Chief Moore of the weather bU-
rean, but that had its reward and rarely
has had the morning of Inauguration day

Wea Their conditions were concerned. The
rain of yesterday WAS followed by q
Northwestern. which while sweeping away
the heavy clouds also attained at times
almost all the proportions of gale. This
moderated, however, during the night
and as the sun rose this morning there
remained only y smooth, steady breeze
straight out Of the northwest which held
the myriad of flags flying over the city
out 1T their full length and brought JAS
enough frost in it to stimulate the c.rcu

Selma. Ala, June 26.-(Special) 1.-The ne
groes OF this city and section are stirred
up over a remarkable letter received from
one of the Laredo colonists who went from
this county 10 Liberia last year.
The agents of the emigration society
which sent the colonists over have from
time TO time shown the most fi1ttering
letters said to be from the colOnists and
several thousand have been making month
iy payments toward thcir expenses to the
promised land. A big colony expects to
sail next fail.
The letter which is causing so much con-
sternation among the would-be emigrants
tells OF the terrible suffcrings of the ne
groes who went over on the Laredo. of
fevers. disease and death and lack of
food other than fruits.
Ii closes thus:
Bishops Turner and Sanders ought to
have been in hell twenty years ago; they
have caused 50 many deaths and suffering
among the people coming here. / think
the people in America ought 20 stop them
and let them no further pursue"
The writer. wcll-known negro, makes
n pitiful plea TO the white people for aid
10 return To America.
