INAUGURAL ADDRESS.
Country Stands Supreme I'm a Continent
and

Country Stands Supreme in Continent
and Hemisphere.
Washington, d. c., March Ain his
inaugural address, Vice President
Roosevelt spoke as follows:
Great privileges and great powers
are ours and heavy are the response
bilities that will go with these privil-
eyes and these powers. ACCORDINGLY
as we do we'll or ill, SO shall mankind
IN the future be raised or cast down.
We belong to a young nation already
OF giant strength, yet whose present
strength is but a forecast of the DOW
er That Is to come. We stand supreme
IN continent, in a hemisphere. East
and west we look across the two great
oceans toward the larger world-life
IN Whlch-Whether we will or not
we must take an ever-increasing
snare. And as keen-eyed we gaze into
the coming years duties new and old
rise thick and fast to confront us
from within and from without. There
is every reason why we should face
these duties with sober appreciation
dllhe Oh their Importance and of their
difficulty. But there is also every rea-
son for facing them with high-hearted
resolution and eager and confident
1alth in our capacity to do them right.
A great work lies ready to the
hand of this generation; it should
count itself happy indeed that to it is
given the privilege of doing such
work. A leading part therein must
be taken by this, the august and pow
erfrl legislative body over which 1
have been called to preside. Most
deeply do | appreciate the privilege of
my position, for high indeed is the
honor OF presiding over the American
senate at the outset of the twentieth
century"

her disappearance a man named
Wright won her love. 1t developed
that he had left a wife in the east.
Miss Thornblad, learning this, at
tempted suicide, but was thwarted.
She then said she would not be de-

she said she would make in a. spot
where her remains would never be

presence of multitude gathered from
all parts of the United States and for

inauguration ever witnessed at Wash

simultaneously, Theodore Roosevelt
OF New York became vice president of

development of the republic during the
past four years.

way the president led the cabinet mem
bers to the presidents room in the
capitol building, where he was host
at the first function of his second
term-a luncheon to his official fam
lily. Although strictly formal, this af-
fair was very brief. as the president
and cabinet were wanted to take their
places in the line of the inaugural pa
rade. Escorted by $4,000 troops, the
governors of eleven states and num-
Der of civic bodies, the president rode
down Pennsylvania avenue for the sec
ond time as chief executive of the ma
ton.
A Wonderful Parade.
The estimate of the size of the in
augural parade, as given out at mill
tary headquarters, was 81, 240, includ-
ing: Military, volunteer and regular,
22,240; veteran organizations, 1900;
civic societies, 1890. General Francis
Z Greene was grand marshal. 1t took
four and half hours for the parade to
pass the reviewing stand.
Every presidential Inauguration in
recent years has had it's parade, always
creditable in size and variety, and usu-
ally having some distinctive feature
That which followed President McKin-
ley Monday on his return from the cap
itol to the white house. and passed in
review there before him. was different
from all its predecessors in the majes-
tic prdominance of the military fea-
ture.
The civil contingent was quite up to
the average in point of numbers; yet
by actual count made by the marshals,
the men in soldierly uniforms outnum-
bered the civilians in line by more than
three to one.
Many Notables In Parade.
In the serried ranks of blue were
many soldiers who had carried the
country's flag far out into the world,
and had waged war which was all in
the future when the last inaugural
procession marched along Pennsylva-
MIA avenue.
With these, younger veterans, and in
the place of honor, as the presidents
escort, marched another contingent
made up entirely of soldiers of the civil
war, all gray haired and showing in
gait and bent forms marks of the
passage of years and Of the lingering
effects of the great battles and cam
paigns of the most stupendous struggle
that the world has seen, and it was an
easy prophecy to observe that never
again would they be able to make as
brave and numerous showing in their
effort to escort a president on the occa-
sion of his accession to Office.
At their head, to quicken their step,
marched the Rough Rider band, sug-
gestive of the extraordinary organiza-
ton which marked one of the most in
spring chapters in the history of the
volunteer armies of the United States.
Tribute to Other Nations.

Busy Scene In the Capital
AT the Capitol Sunday business was
IN full blast, both houses being in
session, and the crowd did not lose
the opportunity of the novel sight OF
seeing the national legislators trans
acting business on the Sabbath. AS
all the other public buildings were
closed all naturally turned their steps
towards the building in which the SEN
ators and representatives perform their
public duties. AS result the ro-
tunda, Hobbies, corridors and galleries
were densely packed. 1t was an inter-
esting and picturesque sight. Clti-
zens and soldiers roamed about arm
in arm taking in the sights. Handsome
men draped in brilliant and bright
uniforms were there. With them were
beautiful women, attired in magnii-
cent gowns, which cost enough tc
support for months the poorer ones
who rubbed elbows with their more
fortunate neighbors. There were pri-
Yates and colonies with locked arms
studying the pictures portraying the
great epochs in the country's history
all unconscious of the criticism of the
regular army officers, who object to
the democratic manner in which the
volunteer officers and men meet on a
social level. Throughout the day and
we'll into the night the soldiers and
visitors paced the Capitol corridors.
