This is the day on which, if history and
common prudence governed the matter, the
President of the United States would be
inaugurated. 1t is the anniversary of the
day which the first President took the
oath. 1t is favored by climatic chances as
the years run II inSureS city abloom
with its freshest beauty. II guarantees to
all visitors to the capital at least immunity
from the pneumonia-inyiting chill of March.
comparison between March 4 of this
year and today leaves no doubt whatever
in any mind to the wisdom of changing
the inauguration date. Probably every one
of the thousands of visitors who were pres
ent at the ceremonies last month went
away firmly convinced that the date is a
mistake and that a change would be ad-
visable. This conviction would unquestion-
ably be strengthened into active enterprise
in behalf of a change if these same per-
sons could now return and see Washington
on this balmy, beautiful day. with the
parks aglow with the color of the flowers
the streets softly shaded with the new leaves
of miles of trees. The main difficulty in
the way of securing the amendment is that
the inauguratons are 50 far apart that not
even the most thoroughly disguised visitor
whose trip has been saddened by exposure
March remains from one to another occa-
sion an ardent advocate of change. On
his return he is not in a mood to contem-
plate another journey to see the oath ad-
ministered. The next inauguration is too
far away for the matter to become of per-
sonal interest to him, and so his condem-
nation of the laundering date soon fades
into an occasional growl at the washing
ton weather which gave him hard cold
and curtailed the enjoyment of bis pilgrim
age. The effective work for a shifting of
the date to the historical day must be done
by organization and systematic agitation.
The impulse to such propaganda must be
given at this end, through some organized
body acting as center of the enterprise
and summoning to it's aid all the state
agencies which may be expected to lend a
hand to secure the necessary constitutional
amendment.

The PreSidert sounded the note of expan-
sion in Virginia yesterday, and it was re-
ceived with great applause. Naturally.
Virginia is not a cotton state, but her SYM
pathies are with her cotton growing sis
ters, and expansion means much to them.
Increased eastern trade for cotton goods is
a policy that appeals to the south SO
strongly. her people and all who wish them
we'll are to be expected to approve every
Intelligent effort looking to its accomplish
ment. Ten-ceut cotton has made the south's
wallet fat and comfortable. But if it is to
remain so; if the price of her principal
staple and of her other products is to keep
her abreast of the procession in an age of
the sharpest competition for business. all
overtures for the extension of American
trade are of the primest Importance to
her. If but half Of China can be opened to
the yield of her mills. every word of dis
cuSsion of the subject is worthy of her
closest attention Tonight at Memphis,
and for several days now, the President
Will he talking directly to cotton planters
and cotton factors. and yesterdays ap-
piause in Virginia may be expected to in
crease in both volume and heartiness.
The west is quite as vitally concerned
about this same policy. 1t affects all of
her interests The oriental markets are her
hope She looks in that direction for the
multiplication of her industries as well as
for sustaining those already in existence.
She voted her aspirations at the November
elections. The south did not choosing to
support Mr.. Bryan upon a policy of sur
render and scuttle in the Philippines But
both sections are at one in what is at
stake in Asia. and when the President
reaches the west the responses to his ref
erenCeS to expansion are certain to be as
enthusiastic as those he is now receiving
III the south With no race question to
disturb her. but only her development and
advancement to occupy her thoughts the
west is in position not only to enjoy the
fruits Of expansion. but openly to support
those who advocate and apply it. In
greeting the President. therefore. the west
pays tribute both to the great office he
nils and TO the convictions that animate
him in it.
We shall probably hear some criticism
of this feature of the Presidents trip But
II was quite unavoidable. He has had SO
lar, signal success in administering the
affairs of the country, and it is not possi-
bie for the people anywhere to greet him
without testifying directly or indirectly to
the value of what he has accomplished
The bare fact that prosperity is evident on
every hand and they are happy to have
him view it is full warrant for whatever
he may introduce in his public utterances
bearing upon the subject He is speaking
therefore not only to the point but in the
best of taste.

When Aguinaldo was captured Agoncillo
promptly announced that Sandico would
succeed him, and thus Freedoms battle
once begun, bequeathed from"-well, if we
were minded to nickname the objects OF
disfavor as some of our urbane and digni-
fled friends do, we might say, from Aggfe

awful disillusioner that Sandico had sur
rendered before Aguinaldo was captured
Since then Tagal hopes, chiefly in this
country. have centered upon Alejandrino as
the successor of Aguinaldo. But now that
doughty insurgent surrenders uncondition-
ally. Really. it begins to look as though

A Miscarriage of Justice.



The acquittal of Callahan in Omaha, the
man charged with completely in the kid
naping of Cudahy, is misfortune. 1t is
one of those strange miscarriages of JUS
tice which sometimes occur in jury trials.
1t does not appear that the jury was tam
pered with. 1t was, however. prejudiced.
and care was taken by counsel to appeal
to these prejudices. 1t is difficult to real
iZe, however, that twelve average men in
an intelligent community can all be so
hopelessly the slaves of their passions and
prejudices as to be unable to perform hon
estly the duties required of them by their
oaths. This, however seems to have been
the case in the Cudahy trial. They re-
garded it as fight between wealth and
po"erty and do not seem to have consid-
ed either the extremely criminal char
acter of the offense nor the boys depriva-
tion of liberty, and the possibility Of his
being murdered had not his father paid
down the ransom
The offense itself has already led to
numerous cases Of kidnapping in different
parts of the country, and this outrag geous
acquittal of d kidnaper will, doubtless
lead to more

Reformer. Trick the Police

Awhile ago the reform agencies in New
York strove chiefly to secure evidence
against the gambling resorts and other
dives supposed to be permitted by the po-
lice to pursue their course upon the pay
ment OF bonus. So in most cases the
reformers. sometimes headed by one of the
minor justices and one occasion by
the district attorney himself, co-operated
with the police. But after few at
tempts, more or less successful. to catch
the gamesters and divekeepers mapping, the
crusaders have come to the conclusion that
the police are unreliable allies. Conse-
quently yesterday the plan was changed
and the chief effort in a pool room raid
was. not to capture the gamblers at their
work. but to trap the police. The trick
was well turned. and now 1t stands clearly
demonstrated that there Is constant collu
sion between the police and the gambler

All municipalities are Interested in the
late discoveries with regard to the possi-

distances When 1t was first proposed to

Sunday Opening Mt Buffalo,


The decision regarding Sunday opening
arrived at by the managers of the Buffalo
exposition should prove satisfactory. The
fair Is to be open from l pm. on the first
day of the week, excepting the midway
and amusements, which will do business
only six days out of the seven. This ar
rangement gives the working people Of
Buffalo and the neighboring towns a
chance to see the beauties Of the exposi-
tion on Sunday, and at the same time does
not interfere with the morning service of
the churches. The decision to keep the
cheaper features of the fair from the pop-
ular gaze Sunday is in line with the
sentiment of those who hold that festivals
of the popcorn and lemonade sort are out
of place on that day.

where there is an abundance of water
power at a distance from the coast, and
where the coal supply demands serious
consideration.
AS a result of persistent effort, the ra-
dius of the water-generated current has
now been extended to 40 miles. with only
a five per cent loss. The other day, 1t is
reported. street cars were run in Oakland
with current generated on the Yuba

engineering world.
1t is furthermore reported that the engi-
neers expect to further reduce the percent
age OF loss in transmission by increasing
the voltage. This gives promise of addi-
tional extension of the current radius, and
it may be that within a few months or
years power thus created will be sent five
hundred miles and more across country, per-
