were held indoors, but with jackson the
outdoor feature became permanent.
When .'Old Hickory" went in the boys
from the back counties all came to en-
liven the occasion and walked all over
the White House furniture to show
their joy. Remembering these devas-
tating experiences, the second Jackson
installation was more subdued. Van
Buren's induction into Office was more
generally attended than any that went
before. The nation was growing, and
the railroad was coming into vogue.
In some aspects the Inauguration of
William Henry Harrison was the most
spectacular ever seen in Washington.
Log cabin floats were conspicuous in
the parade. Although sixty-eigh years
old and despite the fact that the
weather was worse than the usual
March brand, the old warrior insist
ed on riding white charger on long
and circuitous route. Nor would he
put on an overcoat. The result was a
cold that ended his life in little more
than month. There was nothing es-
pecially notable in the inaugurals of
Polk, Taylor, Pierce and Buchanan.
The first installation of Abraham
Lincoln took place under the impend-
ing shadow of civil war. Though
there was little outward sign of the

Indugurations Of the Past
Special Incidents That Marked the installation Of Former
Presidents Of the United States-HoW the Taft In
augural Bids Fair to Be the Biggest
Success Of Its Kind
By JAMES A. EDCERTON.


BY JAMES A. EDcERTON.
|rT is not every man that gets a
chance to be inaugurated presi-
] dent of the United States or even
to see the thing pulled off by
somebody else, so it is not surprising
that when one does receive call to
go through this greatest Of limitations
he and his friends and the onlookers
want run for their money and try to
make the occasion worth while. The
Taft Inauguration will be all that and
more. In fact, it will Guido anything
IN its line, making the induction of all
past presidents seem like those "near''
performances that fail of reaching the
mark. There will be more troops, more
ceremony and more solemnity than
ever before. The only features that
will be cut short are music and ora
tory. The brass band industry will be
and Taft will make his
speech brief. The country will not
lack for those cynics who will hail
both shortcomings as improvements.
No Inauguration would be complete
without the quadrennial squabble be-
tween the supreme court and the dip
[lomatic corps as to which shall take
precedence. Now that this has put in
appearance everything is as it should
be, and the ball can go merrily on.
That and the "beauty squad of male
