Unanimity in Congress for In

ALMOST NO OPPOSITION
Introduction of Flood of Measures

OPINIONS OF LAWMAKERS
Advocacy of Balmy Season for
Ceremonies Expressed by Senators
and Representatives.

Although overshadowed by the fight
between the organization and the insur-
gents in preparation for the real test
next Monday. when the special session
of the SiXty-first Congress convenes,
sentiment for change in inaugural day
from the 4th of March to the latter
part of April or the first part of May is
growing all the time.
There appears to be practically no op-
position whatever, either among the
membership of the Senate or the House
Of Representatives, to the change. which,
all admit. would bring about much
needed reform.
Senator Depew already has introduced
in the Senate resolution proposing to
amend the Constitution by ratification
of his resolution by thrce-fourths of
the states. SO as to put inauguration day
in the last part of April. Indications
are that in the House. despite the fact
it is an extra session, there will be a
perfect food of measures introduced in
the early days of the session looking to
this same end.
The Star, in endeavoring g ascertain
the views of members of the Senate and
House on the change in the inaugural
date, asked each one of them to submit
in writing an opinion. In the replies
SO far received there is practically not
dissenting voice.

Congress Asked Many Times.
tHrom the Wnman'S National Daily

Congress has been asked many times
to change the date of the inauguration of
the President. If Washington were 100
Or more miles further south March 4
would probably not often be a disagree-
able day in the capital, but it's present
location Is altogether too far north to
make it free from blizzards and severe
storms at that time OF the year Leeis-
lation looking TO a later inauguration has
generally been sidetrackad because repre-
sentatives and those advocating a change
have usually forgotten the necessity for
the change between the time of an in
auguration and the next session of Con-
gress. If the national legislators were
now in session and Il bill could be intro
duced to make some later date the in
auguratiOn day it is likely that the
measure would receive favorable consid-
ion,

change the Inauguration day to a balmier

A New Day Needed.
From the Columbus Ohio State Journal.


Every time there is narrowing weather
for an Inauguration a. Washington, an
agitation is started to move the date fur
ther into the spring. 1t takes a constitu-
tional amendment to do this, and that
requires SO long that a beautiful 4th of
March intervenes. which then makes the
change seem quite unnecessary.
An amendment to the Constitution has
been offered. designed to make the last
Wednesday in April inauguration day.
That will surely put the important day
beyond the reach of billiards. and that
should be the case. When the 4th of
March was at first designated it was not
thought that inauguration day would
amount to much more than the President
elect riding his beast up to the Capitol
fence. tying it there and then stepping
within and taking the oath. Almost any
kind of an old 4th of March would do tor
that. But since then inauguration has
developed into the greatest demonstration
i'll the world and it is necessary to have
the finest weather in the world for it.
The weather bureau has attempted sew
eral times to furnish fair day, but it
has utterly failed; now the only recourse
left Is to get new day entirely. And
we might say. in passing, Ohio needs it
inst hadly

more importance. If the in3usuration
date remains as 1t is bad weather may
eventually abolish the great military pa
rade and display and allow US to so back
to the simple inauguration OF the time of
Jefferson, which think would be much
more appropriate"
Evening star., 1909-03-12

this time it Will result in some favorable
action being taken. For years and wears
Inauguration day has been a hfdeous
nightmare of climate conditions: and
thousands of lives have been lost as a
result of exposure on these occasions
Washington is not an ideal climate at
best: and when the weather is bad there.
it is usually of the extreme class. We
can see no reason why there should be
opposition to abandoning the 4th of March
as a date for this quadriennial celebra-
ton. \ day toward the end of April or
early in May would be far more favorable
and suitable for Inauguration purposes.
Not Even Sentiment Opposed.
From the Springfield Union.
When the inauguration date was fixed
little thought was given to the weather
conditions that obtain during March, for
the event was not then such q great out
door festival as it has since become. But
when 100000 people, more or less. journey
to Washington to witness the inaugural
exercises their comfort and convenience
deserve some consideration. and while
favorable weather cannot be positively
guaranteed for any particular date, April
30 is much more likely TO be pleasant
than any day in March. Not even senti-
ment is against changing the date and
good sense favors a change. To select
the date on which the father of his
country was inaugurated has appro-
priateneSS TO commend II.

CALLS FOR A CHANGE OF DATE
PRESS OF THE COUNTRY INTER-
ESTED IN INAUGURATION.
Demand Stronger Than Ever.

From the Knoxville Sentinel.
The demand for different Inauguration
day is stronger than ever before. 1t has
been growing since the war, when the
crowds attending the inaugurations be-
gan to be large. Hundreds, perhaps
thousands, have died of exposure in the
uncertain March weather. The retention
of March can be explained only by our
national conservatism or political inertia.
The general demand is that the date of
the inauguration should be deferred about
two months until the weather is settled.
Common Sense to Be Trusted.
From the Newark News.
When one considers the Inconvenience
the loss OF time and money. the suffering
and sickness and death that have result
ed from March weather. nothing is
clearer than that common prudence die
tates that the date of the Inauguration
ceremony should be changed. Mere men,
ton of a change has always heretofore
set the constitutional lawyers to suggest
ing obstacles and involved much profit
less suggestion as to the exact date
which should be chosen and to this time
the result has been to debar any action
versies are again in evidence, but this
time there Is every reason to believe that
they cannot and will not defeat the re-
form. The press of the country is prac-
immediate action. The Pennsylvania
legislature has already taken cognizance
of the matter and other states will fol-
low. There is not the slightest question
but that il later date is advisable nor
any doubt but that such a date can oe
