One of the features of the big in
dependence day pa 'ade on July )
will be the parade of the firemen.
The parade will contain both the
new and the old instruments of
fighting fires. Several of the old
engines formerly used in Burling-
ton will be taken out and will form
an interesting spectacle. The oldest
engine is an old hand engine pur-
chased by the city in 1888 and used
by the Ethan Allen company. Next
comes the Boxer engine, purchased
twenty years later, in 1858. Then
comes the hose wagon won in the
international firemen's meet in
Chicago in 1878. The wagon was
the worlds prize and was won by
the Barnes Hose company of Burl-
ington. At that time the late J J.
Shea was foreman of the company
and A. S. Drew was chief engineer
of the city. The present department
will be the last to appear and may
be expected to make an excellent
appearance The new hook and
ladder wagon will be here by that
time. This department is called by
experts the best fire department OF
city of its size in the United
States. as it has the best record on
fire loss.

Charles E. Ballou, II years sup
erintendent of the uptown branch of
the Jerry McAuley mission, New
York, is dead. Mr.. Ballou exerted
a remarkable influence among the
outcasts who frequented the mis-
sion. 1t was said that he would go
to any trouble for a person who
really wished to reform. Many men
now prominent in the city owe their
start to his efforts and he had their
support in his endeavors to i'm
prove conditions near the mission.
Mr.. Ballou was converted by a
woman evangelist in Middlebury
whom he afterward married. To-
gether they worked among the poor
and the outcast and among their
closest friends were Mr.. and Mrs.
Jerry McAuley, whose mission work
on the Lower East Side and on the
West side was far famed.

THE EXECUTIVE SESSION AN
ARCHAIC ONE.

Report has it that the Senate has
once more been mdulging an epoch OF
contcmplatiyc self -abasemcnt, apropOs
OF the difficulty OF maintaining
proper mystery about the detail OF eS-
ecutive session proceedings Com
plant is made that the doings of execu-
tive session, whenever they are espe-
cialIy racy or interesting, are pub
lished in quite as much detail as the
doincs of open session. Reference has
been made on the floor of late to the
fact that there is in existence a rule
under which Senator may be expelled
tor giving information about the
executive sessions.
The fact IS that the executive ses-
sion is a relic and good deal of
nuisance. There is no good reason why
the executive business which pertains
10 confirme lions should be shronded in
mystery 1t may well be doubted
whether Senators speak their minds
more freely in secret session tlan they
would in open sitting, as to these sub
jects If anything, it is unfortunate
to give opportunity for filihusterin:
against Executive appointments, for
reasons unworthy to be urged, and
which Senators in some cases would
be unwilling TO present in public
session. The executive session gives
opportunity for venting personal feel
ing against men whose nominations
are distasteful, yet whose qualifications
cannot fairly be questioned.
The Senate's whole relation 10 the
filing of public offices has descended
into the lower realm of petty politics.
Men who are VIGOROUSLY unfit for posi-
tons get prompt confirmation if the
interested Senators are satisfied with
the politics of the situation; and men
whose qualifications are beyond ques-
ton are held up or defeated because
of the purely political sntagonism OF
Senator's. These clements are more
potent under the conditions which sur
round the executive session than they
could be If such business were done il
open session.
More than a centurys experience
ought to make it apparent that secrec,
is not to be preserved in such condi
tions. There are doubtless reason
why in many cases treaties should b
considered in executive session. |
secrecy is important, it would be bette
assured by making the private ses
sion a rare and Impressive affair. !
would mean something. But so lon
as the chief practical utility of tn
private session Is the parGamentar.
privilege OF moving it at critical times
so long as 1t is employed mainly as
pawn in parliamentary tactics, 1t
not likely to impress the solemnity o
its obligations very deeply.

PLANNING BETTER DONE
THAN EVER BEFORE.

MIR. Taft and Mr. sherman are in
stalled. Troops and marching clubs
are pretty well gone home. The deco
rations are coming down. The inaugu
ration of 1909 is a tale that is told.
a blizzard did its best to spoil the
occasion. From the morning of the
day preceding until this writing there
has been either snow or rain. Lightning
or blow. or all four together \ city's
gala dress was never subjected To a
worse bedrsggling.
Yet Washington came throughsit all
spiendidly. The Court OF Honor stood
the rain and snow as if it had been
made of brick and stone. The line of
march was not only clean, but dry,
in less time than it took the parade
to pass the reviewing stand. Very
little of the bunting which draped pri-
vately owned buildings ran one color
into another The ball was an un-
precedented success in every way. In
spite of rain. wind, and blizzard the
Capital was never so we'll prepared for
an inauguration.
This means that the planning was
better done than ever before The
committeeman Chairman Stell-
wagon down to the last appointment
knew their business. 1t was the en-
phasis they laid upon the risk of in
clement weather which prevented the
whole scheme of decoration from being
mess. 1t was their enterprise which
raised the money. 1t was their preps
ration which carried through an elab-
crate program. maintained order, and
safeguarded property and comfort OF
day when otherwise all thought o.
ordered procedure might have beer
abandoned. They took the best teach
;ngs of their predecessors and buildeC
on them the best result an intugura
tion has yet produced.

"Another Day
Of Inauguration
From the Atlanta GcorEian.I

From the Atlanta Georgian
While the grip of the Arctic blizzard
is still fastened upon the wires which
run into Washington city, il seems 10
be an opportune moment TO revive the
topic which the Georgian began TO aSi-
tate three months ago, VIZ, the wisdom
of changing the date fixed by the Fed
eraI Constitution for inausuratinE the
President OF the United states.
The most elaborate preparations
were made for the formal inductiou of
Mr. Taft into office on Thursday las.
From all parts Of the country the
sightseeing multitudes aocked TO wit
ness the solemn and impressive cere-
monies. The Capital was gorgeOusly ar
rayed in holiday trsppiEgs. More ambi-
tiously bedecked than ever. PennsyI-
vania avenue fairly surpassed herself
in the variegated pIumase which she
dOnned fOr the great occasion. Indeed,
the whole line OF marcn from the Treas
ury b1i!ding to the Capitol was an un-
broken stream Of ripping coors.
This was on the eve of the Inaugural
ton.
But Linden saw another sight
When the morning OF the eventful
day arrived. there burst upon the Cap
ital a blizzard OF the most malignant
type. 1t came with the picturesque &C
