To the layman, at first glance, it
would seem an easy matter TO effect
the change In presidential inaugu-
ration day, following up the reso
Tuition which was passed in the
Senate not 10 G since. But the
propositiouis not as easy as 1t
looks, though most desirable in
every way.
Asit now stands, the Senate res
Iolution provides that the term of
Iahe president aud vice president,
with the term of the Fifty eighth
Congress, shall be extended to noon
of the last Thursday in April. 1905;
and that the last Thursday of April
shall thereafter be substituted for
the fourth day of March as the
commencement aud termination of
Congress and of the terms OF presi-
dent and vice president, and of
senators, representatives and dele
gates. The original proposition
arbitrarily fixed the change to April
80 that being the date of Washing
TONS Inauguration as the country's
first president, but to get rid of the
perplexing questions which have
arisen regarding Its coming on Sun
day, often encountered with the
present constitutional date, 1t was
finally decided to adopt a certain
day of the week rather than a day
of the month. The public we'll uu-
derstands the reason for the pro.
posed change. AS has been fire.
quently demonstrated, M ch
weather In Washington Is as fcA e
as 1t Is anywhere else and inaugural
ceremonies, necessarily In the open
air, have often been attended with
d iscomfort, not to say danger.
The Senate resolution has not yet
been passed In the House, but still
rests In the house committee on
Judiciary. It's friends are, how
ever, sanguine In Its adoption and,
finally. of Its ratification by the
legislatures of the several states,
which Is necessary In making
amendments to the constitution.
For the purpose OF bringing 1t
4 before the state legislature In a
proper way, national committee
of governors Is under organization,
nearly all the state executives
having already signi6ed their will
ingness to serve. while favorable
replies are expected from the rest.
When all the governors have re-
\ piled, a meeting will be called In
Washington, such Is the Importance
attached to the proposed change.
After the resolution Is through the
House, the matter will be brought
before the several legislatures,
where Its ratification, there is every
reason for belief, will speedily
follow.

Few men have caused more
