White House will go to tho b
his first Inauguration tsp'a
has never yet happened. 0oou nlls
the White House have gone ~

has naturally been the case u's
two-term President since w S'u ss
became the seat of goyern nssaas
no man already in that of5ca hs
gone through the ceremons, u a.
hrst time. This peculiar situatioa~
from the fact that no one Of W.
vice Presidents who has succss,.,
the Presidency-Tyler, FilImo,'
son or Arthur-was elected 70, y,
ond term. When Mckinley az
Cleveland in 1897, the incoming ' ,n,a
outgoing Presidents were so aas
70 custom, almost inseparable c0n'
ions ON the inaugural journav y
years ago, when Mr.. Mckinley w.
a second time inaugurated tbs WY
no outgoing President to ride tS,,''
the avenue with him. This yea, y
will be none. 1t has never befonb
pened twice in succession tbot
was no retiring President to ,ss
pany the President-elect. Thu ~.
inauguration of a President a,roas
Office has always seemed Soma,
anomalous, since the ceremonial T.
fies no real change of administ~s
or Of policy. This will expIon y

The annual report of the cOmun1
of the currency gives, in few 6m
an amazing illustration of avsHa
wealth and financial strength Of n
American nation. The banking mv
of the world-the capital, surplus
pOsits and circulation of all its ban
its fluid wealth for the daily INA,
it's industry and cOmmerce-iS c5s
estimated at nearly $34O0OOOOM
this aggregate all tile other count
combined have a little less than
000,000,00O. The United States
America alone has nearly $14N0N|
600. In other words, under the Sl
and Stripes, which float over less lid
one-thirteenth of the land area Of
globe, and to which less than Oh
seventeenth of its inhabitants owe
legiance, is tWO-fifthS of the fluid
i've, working wealth Of the humannl
Uncle Sam, the financial giant and
the nations, is using his strength
beneicially to mankind as any
more so than many, as becomes
intelligent and highly civilized giant
