INAUGURATION DAY
President Taft Will Take Oath
of Office Today.
GREAT CROWDS IN THE CITY

George Washington, the First Presi-
dent, Outlined the Ceremonies
Which in General Have Been Fol-
lowed From That Day to This
WashingtOn's Idea of Simplicity
Has Benn Followed by All the
Chief Executives-How a Presi-
dent is Inaugurated.
Washington, d. c., March q
With Inauguration day near at hand
the population of this city tonight
is from $4,000 to 100000 greater
than usual, and by tomorrow night
this surplus probably will have been
doubled.
OF the 81 900 members of civic
and military organizations who will
participate in the inaugural parade,
about one-third already have arrived
within the shadow of the Capitol
dome. BY tomorrow night fully
nine-tenths of them will be here.
How Washington Was Inaugurated.
Washington, D. c., Feb 2S.-His-
tory again will repeat itself next
Thursday when William Howard
Taft bows his head over the Holy
Bible and takes the solemn obliga-
ton which shall make him for a
stated period, the Chief Magistrate
of the United States.
The ceremony of the induction of
a President into Office is distinctive
ly American. Conceived into the
minds and hearts of the Nations S
Fathers, while they yet were in the
throes of a great revolution, it is
grand in it's motive-sublime in its
simplicity. Through the lapse of
years, since the establishment of the
American Government, substantially
no change has been made in the
ceremonial form, although elaborate
and beautiful accomplishments, in
recent years, have become notable
features of this most important of
American functions.
In the time of Taft, as in the time
of Washington, the spectacle bears
the same simple impressiveness. Here
no emperor, or king, or dictator, ar
rogating to himself, through the law
of succession or monarchial eXpedi-
ency," the powers of government: :
but the creature Of willing, enthusi-
astic and homogeneous people taking
upon himself, through the expression
of his peers, the responsibility of
carrying out their mandates and di-
recting the execution of their will.
Yesterday he was one of hundred
million people; to-day, yet one of the
people, but chosen for a brief time
to direct their destinies and to pro-
| tect and defend their nation.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 2S.-A
statement was given out last night
from the White House, at the re-
quest of newspaper men containing
a condensed statement Of some of
the leading accomplishments Of Pres
ident Roosevelt's administration.
The brief summary or a most re-
markable administration Is as fol-
lows:
''The navy of the United States
has been more than doubled. 1t has
now done what no other similar
fleet of like size has ever done
viz: circumnavigated the globe-and
it is also in far more efficient battle
trim than when it started out year
ago.
The Panama Canal. No feat of
quite such far-reaching Importance
has been to the credit Of this coun-
try in recent years.
"The peace of Portsmouth was a
substantial achievement, as was also
the part played by the United States
| in the Algeciras conference.
THE settlement of the anthracite
coal strike was a matter Of very
great moment to the American peo-
pie from the standpoint not only of
| industrial, but of social reform and
progress.
THE forest reserves of the coHn-
try have been trebled or quadrupled; ;
the Forest Service has been re-or-
ganized and placed under the De-
partment of Agriculture, and there
have been created a number of reser-
vations for preserving the wild
things of nature-the birds and
beasts, as well as the trees.
Irrigation Progress.
I'm the matter of legislation, the
national irrigation act, which Is re-
sulting in the development OF the
semi-arid States, of the great plains
and Rockies, is an achievement sec
ond only in importance to the crea.
ton of the homestead act itself.

PROPERTY. 1t hardly necessary to say anything
about the meaning of property but considering that such
foolish definitions property is theft still find be-
believers it may not be amss repeat here that property
is the product of labor Animals have property; bees
have their hives ants their hills birds their nests The
property of persons may consist in the natural articles, or
money which represents all values.
Considering the great importance of money it not
surprising that it is the object of human desirehe idol
against which the Christian god has to take back
seat in spite of all the protesatOns of the believers who
profess despise the contemplate mammon, but
do without it. Instead Of hypocrcally feigning nder-
against the Filthy lucre they might well admit
the truth that money, to health, is indeed the most
valuable possession earth it represents everything that
human ingenuity has invented to contribute TO happiness
and make life worth living.
Apostles of the millennium have frequently denounced
the unequal distribution of money unjust and against
the intention of god but whenever attempt made
society the principle of equality proved dis
nal failure. There is equality in this world, notwh

WENT DELIBERATELY TO DEATH
Circumstances Of Case All Point to
Suicide OF Elephant.

An Agra Qndia) correspondent
sends remarkable story concerning
what is declared to be the deliberate
suicide OF an elephant
The great annual mela or fair at
Batesar in the northwest provinces is
held on the bank OF the Jumna, which
is there crossed by bridge of boats.
At the side OF the river opposite the
fair there is a slope down which the
elephants bringing visitors to the
bridge slide into the river and swim
across. A young elephant, making the
trip for the first time, trumpeted an
grily when his trappings we're stripped
from him preparatory to his swim,
but seeing other elephants crossing
the stream ahead of him he plunged
in and followed.
When he reached the opposite
bank. however, he swerved around
and swan back again. The mahout
sought to force him around again,
but without result. md when within a
yard or two of the bank the elephant,
after trumpeting again, plunged down
into the river. Just in the nick of
time the mahout was rescued by
means Of a long bamboo, but the ele-
phant was drowned, to all appearance
by his own deliberate act.

There will be another night You
awoke this morning still tired. Your
work kept you going 50 late and your
hours for sleep were SO few You
were restless besides. You tossed till
almost the dawn, and then lost your
self a short hour, and found yourself
with a start, and collected your dazed
wits. Then the inevitable snapped its
whip, and you harnessed yourself and
got in the shafts for another day The
day looked long and steep-too long
for patience, and too steep for
strength; but you strained at the coli
lar, and now you are tugging along at
the same old gait You would change
the gaityou would speed up if you
could, but you are still tired Never
mind, old thill-horse, there will be an
other night Maybe tomorrow you
will step lighter, and make more miles
on the ancient highway than to-day.
You can still hope. They can never
scale down hope, nor take 1t off the
