NORTH CAROLINA WOULD
PLAY RUDE IN PARADE

A great many people in the country
districts who read Inauguration news in
the weekly and semi-monthly papers
have vague impression that the inau-
garaI parade is something like a circus
procession. The views of a few are ex-
ceptionaiIy exaggerated.
A day or SO ago a ms mber of the COM
n1fttee on civic organizations received a
letter from a man in the mountains of
North Carolina. who secured his name
in some manner, Offering to act the
countryman in the percess!en." He
had been to cireuses and there had seen
the n1ade-up cotsEtryman creating thun-
ders Of laughter over his antics. So he
wanted TO aer as the Rube-o He said:

WHITE WINGED PEACE
AGAIN REIGNS SUI RENE
Sons of the Revolution Meet and Diff
ferences Are Patched Up Again.
Officers May Not Resign.

Peace and harmony, instead of angry
discussion and threatened dissolution.
reigns today in the ranks of the Sons OF
the Revolution
President Sands. Vice President ITuide-
koper, and Secretary Benjamin were in
vited. almost unanimously, to reconsider
their designations at the meeting last
night and continue in Office 3ntil their
terms come to an end in the regular or
der of things.
The three officers reserved their deci-
sions.
The meeting of the society last night,
which was a special and secret session
TO consider the difficulties surrounding
the order, was held in the lecture han of
the George Washington University.
President Sands and Secretary Benjamin
were present, and it is understood their
reason for giving up office within little
over two months of election was quite
plainly expressed
-Four or five members were in favor of
the designations being accepted without
comment, and ii WIS more than limited
that 1t was on account of efforts of these
same descendants of patriotic fore
fathers to dictate the policy OF the or
ganization that the original difficulty
arose.

fngton have noted that men fed at the
public expense are seldom unwilling
to wait on themselves. The future
for the gallant Tubbs need not be
black with lowering clouds, He will
always be welcome here.
And the Capital is not by any means
sure that Tubbs has incurred the dis
like of the waiter5-even the walters
of Gotham. In Washington there is a
welI-deined impression that the wait
ers would rather be paid fixed wages
than rely on the fiuetuating fees OF a
fiuctuating hotel patronage of a fiue-
tuating generosity. Men sometimes
tip with so free a hand that fixed
wages would look like 80 cents. But
sometimes-in hington-when the
service is poor they have been known
not to tip at all. This tipping basi-
ness is not all that it is cracked up
TO be-
The sympathy the community might
feel for Tubbs is qualified. however,
by the fact that his legislation was
directed against the walters. If he
had proposed a fine for every hotel
proprietor who did not pay his wait
ers fair wage-Ah. taat would have
been craftsmanship!

judicial Expenses.

For several reasons, among them
the dignity of the bench, it could be
wished that judicial expense accounts
might be put on a new basis. II such
accounts are to be in detail to the
last penny on the style Of the COM
merciaI travellers, they would have an
aspect OF pettiness, His honor would
have to put in items such as this:
To tip to porter, % cents.
Shine. 10 cents
Street ear fare, depot to court cents.
Evening paper. cent.
In this there would be lack Of dig
nifty and utility. The supposition
that a Federal judge would not fitch
eoppers is fair enough to be permitted
to stand without debate. Neverthe-
less the detailing Of trivial expendi-
lures would be annoying, and, more
over, the judge would lose. for he
would not devote time and thought to
items and atoms of outgo.
A better way would be to name
some reasonable standard of expense
and pay a regular per diem to cover

Caring for The Indian.

The Senate heard Tuesday some
plain talk on the American Indian.
It has heard often before pleas for
liberal allowances in Poor Los be-
half, and it is likely TO hear often
in the future sententious indictments
of the nation for usurping lands of
which the red men were once lords
in fee. Tt has remained for Senator
Hepburn to reveal the other side. He
spoke only a few minutes to accom-
plish this. The tenor of his remarks
may be gagged from these extracts:
The object of allotting land to the In
dian in severalty was TO concentrate
and limit the Indian operations TO the
farm. It was not 10 relieve him OF the
necessity Of furnishing himself with the
means of livelihood from the products
We have in our State several tribes of
Indians, some of whom under existing
provisions are permitted 10 lease their
land. They live like barons. They are
among the richest people. per capita, IN
the United States. They do rot work.
They hire white men to work for them

Death of Ms. Stanford.

That SO benign and gracious a per
son as the late Mrs. Stanford should
have been poisoned. is, even in the
face of seemingly overwhelming evil
dence, almost beyond belief. It IL 20
be hoped that the end of this useful
life will be. explained in some manner
other than that of crime. No more
unlikely victim of hatred could have
been selected.
Death, in removing Mrs. Jane Stan
ford, ended a career absolutely unique.
others have given to charity. Dona-
been numerous and Of great amount.
Mrs. Stanford, without any expressed
wish to die poor, devoted herself for
many years to the building of a uni
sersity. To this institution she gave
her vast fortune, and in so doing car
ried out the wish her husband, = HON
she survived, had made known, and
for the fulfiIlment OF which he had
planned AS rapidly as consistent
with the unive-sity's power of absorp-
ton Mrs Stanford added to the build
ings or the endowment. There is no
similar school Of such modest age
anywhere else in the world that has
so solid a financial base.
Mrs Stanford was essentially a
home person. She did not care for
society, but only for her coterie of
friends. The death Of the Stanford
boy was a shock from which neither
of the parents fully recovered. The
destinations mourning that followed
did, indeed, excite some unfavorable
criticism, but this all passed away
when as a monument to the son was
reared the splendid establishment
bearing his name. To leave this a
fixed and adequate equipment and
scope was the one ambition of the
Stanfords. The millions the man had
accumulated, and that the woman
after him had managed, were devoted
to the purpose. Nothing was with
held. The mansion on San Francisco
Mob nil went with the rest, Mrs.
Stanford STIMULATING only that it
should shelter her TO the end.
This philanthropic woman survived
to see the fruition of her hopes. All
that she had she gave, and she had
much; but all the time in her per-
sonal life she was the kindly. modest
woman, never Wanting the work in
which she was engaged, or seeking
other reward than the qualification OF
doing a benefcent and important
duty

STRANGER WAS HUNGRY
AND LOST HIS TEMPER

The inaugural guests are arriving and
nowhere can you get SO clear a concep-
tiort of this as IN tne dining rooms of the
hotels and in restaurants. Shoppers have
given up in despair the idea of Iunching
downtown and are now making short
morning or afternoon sessions in the
stores.
A representative of the newspapers is,
of course, still considered with attention
by the walters in the restaurants, and
has therefore a chance, from his coign
of advantage, to notice the delay IN
dealing with others less favored. Ana
ny the same token representative OF
this paper was amused yesterday al the
strange cOntoruonS and antics OF one
rather good looking man who was en-
Geavoring 10 obtain 2 morSei or so at
one of our favored and Justly 1auded de-
9artment store restaurants.
This man E'as accompanied by ms Wile

twisting his neck about till II must have

and hardly lit company for anybody

innooent-eyed looking waiter he gave
vent to his feelings. Some of the con

ensued, follows:
