lowed the sailors.
Next came the National Guards
men from various states of the union,
and their excellent marching and evo-

In the rear of the military division
came the civic organizations. There

the country, nearly all of them wear

Real War.

AS the late Lord Vantage, V. c., K.
G. B., was a soldier of experience and
valor, his description of battle, taken
from his letters from the Crlmea and
incorporated into Lady Wantage's re-
Gently published biography, may be
considered accurate.
"a battle" he wrote, ''is the most
exciting thing in the world, think
much more confusing than one usually
imagines. and as for all the nonsense
the newspapers write about unbroken
lines and columns, 1t is all stuff
"Those who funk lie down or get
out of fire, and in charge If you get
ten or twelve men to follow you, 1t Is
as much as you can do. AS for
colonels or mounted officers, one never
sees them or takes any notice If one
does. In fact, 1t is just like boys
snowballing one another at school"
There could not well be simpler
account of battle. 1t is as free from
stock phrases as II 1t had been writton
by Grant. And 1t may be added that
Lord Vantage was of the type of uu-
affected great soldier. OF which Graat
was an example.

BY EDWARD B. CLARK.

Washington, Mar. AIN the pres
ence of many thousands of civilians,
soldiers and sailors, William H. Taft
was inaugurated president of the
United States few minutes after
noon. The oath of office was admin
istered to him on the east portico Of
the capitol and he delivered his in
augural address to one of the great
est throngs that ever gathered here to
witness the induction into Office of a
chief executive of the nation. James S.
Sherman was sworn in as vice-presi-
dent in the senate chamber shortly be-
fore the greater event took place.

Soldiers and Sailors Lead.
The military division had the right
of way after the presidents escort.
At its head were the West Point ca
dets and the midshipmen from the
naval academy at Annapolis. The
cadets of both schools were cheered,
as they always. have been cheered at
every inaugural parade in which they
have taken part. Immediately behind
the future officers of army and navy
came the regulars of the military serv-
ice. In the line were the $500 men
who had formed the Cuban army Of
pacification.
IN the waters of Hampton roads for
ten days the fleet which had made its
record-breaking journey around the
world had been assembled. The bat

and the torpedo boats were drawn

ton was thronged with people eager to
see the magnificent spectacle. All day
PENNSYLVANIA avenue was packed with
the crowds.
Scene of Great Beauty.
The scene was one of constant
movement and constant color. The
red, white and blue fioated from every
flagpole and fell as drapery from
every cornice. The inaugural commit
tee succeeded this year in outdoing
all previous efforts at decorative ef-
feet.
In the line of march leading from
the capitol up Pennsylvania avenue,
past the great treasury building and
White House there were nearly 1000
regular troops and twice as many
members of the National Guard of the
different states and independent mill
tary organizations. The civic fea-
lures of the parade were many. The
trades, the professions and all kinds
of business activities were represent
ed by thousands of persons who came
to Washington to do honor to the
countrys new civil chief.

Early in the day the president-elect
met the outgoing president in the
White House. About an hour before
noon the congressional committee of
arrangements, consisting of Senators
Knox, Lodge and Bacon, and Repre-
sentatives Burke, Young and Gaines,
arrived at the executive mansion and
informed the president and the presi-
dent-elect that congress was in readi-
ness for the ceremonies of the actual
Inauguration.
Escorted by a guard of honor Of
veterans, Messrs. Roosevelt and Taft
and the several committees then drove
to the capitol, where they were met
by Vice President Fairbanks and Mr..
Sherman. All went to the senate
chamber, where, after prayer by Ed
ward Everett Hale, chaplain of the
senate, Mr. Sherman took the oath of
office as vice-president and delivered
his inaugural address. He then ad-
ministered the oath to the newly
elected United States senators.
Present on the floor of the senate
chamber were many former senators
of the United States, who have the
privilege of the senate at all times
owing to the fact of once having held
membership In the body.

The presidents speech frequently
was interrupted by applause and at
its close the great assembly broke into
cheers. The president was congratu-
lated by those who were close to him,
including the retiring president end
the other chief officials.
Drives TO White House for Luncheon.
President Taft then entered car
riage which was at once surrounded
by the members of the Black Horse
troop of Cleveland, o., which formed
the special guard of honor. The presi-
dents carriage was driven north and
then down the hill by the senate wing
of the capitol until Pennsylvania ave-
nue. was reached. From that point the
president drove slowly to the White
House along the thoroughfare filled,
save for its center, with crowds Of his
cheering fellow citizens.
At the White House light lunch
con was served to a specially invited
party, including the governors of sew
eral states, prominent federal officials,
personal friends of the president and
the members of the presidential
family.

drew a pension on account of the
service and death of my second hus-
band for "a years, when through fam
lily quarrel, my brother-in-law threat
ened to have my pension stopped. I
wrote to the commissioner of pensions
and stated the facts and have never
received my pension since, which was
almost six years ago. Do you think 1
am entitled to my back pension or a
new pension under the act of April 10,
1908? What course should 1 take in
this matter?-Mrs. M. G.
Answer-Under the act of Decem-
ber 81, 1898, you. are entitled to 80
days notice prior to the reduction of
your pension or the dropping of your
name from the pension rolls. If you
have never received such notice, you
should write to the commissioner of
pensions asking why and upon what
grounds your name was dropped from
the pension rolls. Your title to pen
sion under the act of April 10. 1908,
depends upon your ability to prove
that you are the legal widow of your
last soldier husband, that he served
in the civil war for 80 days and re-
ceived an honorable discharge there
from, and that you were married to
him prior to June 81, 1890.

Query-I notice in your pension

tary of the interior has decided that
service rendered during an Indian out
break, even If such service was rem
dered during. the period of the civil

sion under the act of June 27, 1890.
Please state when such decision was
rendered and the full text of the same.

Answer-January 81, 1907, the Sec
retary of the interior decided that
Service during the late war of the
rebellion" as used in the act of June
27, 1890, means service contracted for
and rendered with reference to and
occasioned by, said war, and not serv-
ice rendered elsewhere with reference
to Indian outbreaks not historically
connected with the resistance of the
southern states to federal authority,
albeit said service against the Indians
was rendered at a time when the war

far the most populous county, and
Fremont, one of the largest counties
and the home county of the reform
school. Ada county has committed
SO children to the Idaho reform
school; Fremont county has 10 and
Canyon county Is. The Solomon
precept has certainly done little good
in Canyon county. We judge from
the tone of the Globes editorial that
corporal punishment is not resorted
to in Idaho county as often as the
Globe would wish. We would remind
the Globe that up to date Idaho county
has not deemed it necessary to send
a single child to the Idaho reform
school. There can be no great in
crease in incorrigibles at GrangeVille,
where corporal punishment is ia
booed.

salutatory Editor McVay says: 1--WE
are commencing the publication of
Home and School to satisfy the de-
mands of the State Teachers Asso-
ciation." 1t will be published in the
interests of the home and the school.
Of necessity the subjects treated in
the publication pertain in the main
to schools and school work.
We note among the contributors to
the first issue: G. A. Axline, presi-
dent Albion Normal; J. T. Hum
phries, superintendent Idaho Reform
School; DR.. G. L. Powell, pastor M.
E. church, Caldwell; Rev. B. w. Rice,
Boise; Miss Cora B. Bean, ex-super-
intendent Canyon county schools.
There were many other articles of
general interest by well known du-
Gators The publication is first
class in every respect and merits the
support of all who are interested in
the home and school.

During the years in which our pure
food laws have been put into erect
there has been a great hurrying and
scurrying on the part of the food man

make them conform to the law.
The Quaker Oats Company is a con.

that Quaker Oats was as pure and
clean as possible and that It was an
ideal food.
1t is so cheap that any one can at
ford it and so nourishing that eyery-
one needs 1t. The result of last years
experiments at Yale and other points

Quaker Oats has been adopted BY
many persons as their food on which
