Inauguration Plans.

If Congress had undertaken four years
ago to solve the problem of changing the
inauguration date it would be possible

degree of confidence in the clemency of
the weather. 1t would at all events be
assured that the day of the Inauguration
will be temperate and that no one spec
tator or official, will be exposed danger
monies. AS the case stands Congress
having failed to consider the question
there is no guarantee that the Inaugural
ton day will be safely clement
Nevertheless the people of Washington
stand ready to work hard to make the
great quadrennial festival striking sue
cess. They have had a long experience
In this direction and as soon as the
chairman OF the national republican COM
mittee selects the man to head the local
organization, in accordance with custom,
they will proceed vigorously TO the end
that Judge Taft's Inauguration may be
notable in the completeness of all its
details
In another respect Congress has failed
In its duty in this connection. While the
inaugural ball is not a feature OF the Of
fetal program of inauguration ceremonies.

Snake Appetite.

Things were dull around the Bronx
Zoo. New York, the other day and the
best the keepers could do in the matter of
furnishing the public with thrilling stories
of their charges was tale about BoscO,
the big king snake, whose speciality is an
apparently Unsuitable appetite for other
reptiles. 1t seems that Bosco was par
ticularly hungry and swallowed three
foot water snake, tail first. AS this did
not satisfy him, he begged In his peculiar
manner for another morsel and was given
two-foot garter snake as an entree,
which disappeared in record time. Still
he gave evidence of the desire for further
fodder, and a tWelve-inch water snake
was passed him and was Immediately
taken into the trust. Then Bosco showed
symptoms of discomfort, and his first
morsel, the three-foot water snake, pres
emily emerged from it's hiding place and
it was found upon examination that this
snake had in turn swallowed both of the
later corners. Now the keepers are won
dering what would have happened If they
had fed their charge the twelve-inch snake
first, the twenty-four-inch snake second
and the thirty-six-inch snake last. all tail
first. This problem is causing a hot
discussion in scientific circles which
promises to rival the ancient puzzle Of
what will happen when two snakes start
to swallow one another, each beginning at
the others tail.

adequate place in Washington for 1t. The
pension office building has served several
times. but leaves much to be desired. 1t
was hoped four years ago that Congress
would recognize this need and appropriate
for a great armory building for the Ma
tional Guard Of the District, 80 planned
as to provide for such great gatherings as
the inaugural ball and official assemblages
of all kinds. The citizens, contemplating
the possibility of governmental inaction in
the premises, undertook to organize a
company to erect such a building by pri-
vate subscription. but it became evident
that there was not sufficient CONNER
cial return in sight for the investment and
the enterprise was abandoned.
Thus the inauguration of 1909 ap-
proaches with no additional provision for
the occasion except the erection of q new
national museum building. which 1t Is be-
lieved may be utilized as a ballroom be-

such an arrangement will be only a make

The citizens of Washington will do

Marvland,s Electoral Vote.

The mix-up over the Maryland electoral
vote caused by the extreme closeness of
the tally calls attention once more to the
fact that the country mas practically de-
parted from the original theory OF the
electoral college. Whereas in the begin
ming that body, consisting of electors
chosen by the people of the different
states, selected the President and the Vice
President upon It's own initiative and re-
sponsibility, now it is simply formal
registering board recording the popular
will. The splitting of q state electo. al
ticket between parties might in the early
years have resulted from a greater or
less degree of confidence on the part of
the voters in the ability of individual
choose wisely. Nowadays it means simply
that voters make mistakes when they cast
their ballots In Maryland, for instance.
il is evident from the returns as they
stand at present that some six hundred
more people undertook to express their
preference for Judge Taft than the num-
Der who voted or tried to vote for Mr..
Bryan. But they were ignorant of the
method of marking the ballot and in effect
voted only for the first-named elector This
happened In the case of both parties,
but there were more ignorantly marked
republican ballots than democratic In
some circumstances such a ballot would
be educational in its influence, but the
question arises whether the test has been
properly applied in Maryland or with en-
tire fairness to all classes of voters. If
the educational test is to be adopted, II
should be uniformly applied prior to the
entrance of the voter into the polling
place. However, this is another issue, OF
the widest application. The situation
which is precisely like that which existed
four years ago, simply calls attention
once more to the wide departure in prac-
tice from the theory of the Constitution
makers.
