VHE'making of a president of the

! United States Is a process con-
sisting of many ceremonies,
covering approximately year
of time. First there are the party pri-
maries, county, district, state and ma
tional conventions, the notification Of
the candidates, the speeches and let
tiers of acceptance, the political CAM
paign, the popular election, the meet
Ing of the electoral colleges, the count
ing of the vote and declaration OF the
result and the final eliminating cere-
mony in the inauguration This ought
to be sufficiently impressive and long
drawn out to make the incumbent real

William Howard Taft will be the
twenty-sixth man to occupy the presi
dency, although he will officially rank
as the twenty-seyenth, Grover Cleve-
land being counted twice because OF
the four year hiatus between his two
terms. When Mr.. Taft takes the Off
cial oath, it will be the thirty-sixth
time that ceremony has been per-
formed, ten of the presidents having
been reelected and therefore sworn in
twice. These were Washington, JEFF

Tickle Inauguration Weather.


ure them out for himself
Tickle Inauguration Weather.
! All inaugurations are pretty much
alike, except the weather. 1t is impos-
sible for any mere committee of ar
engagements to make Washington
weather behave itself, especially in
March. Chief of the Signal Service
Willis Moore once promised an ideal
day for an Inauguration, and it was
ideal for farm hands. 1t rained from
early morning till late at night. An
inauguration is not like a baseball
game. 1t cannot be postponed because
OF wet grounds. The president elect
must go to the bat and run the bases
from the White House to the capitol
and back again even if there is a biz
zard or a rainstorm that washes all
the people out Of Pennsylvania avenue.
The weather of the District of Column
bia is not subject to the constitution.
On March it is not only unconstitu-
tional, but is in contravention of law
and order, of religion and good morals,
TO say nothing Of decorations and
clothes, for all Of which reasons and
others some well meaning reformers
have tried TO have the date of the in
auguration changed. Vain effort! They
did not know Washington. The Capt.
tai City is more of stickler for prece
dent, red tape and custom than Lin
coin Steffens is for civic Righteousness.
Everybody In Washington admits that
the change ought to be made, that the
weather on the 4th of March is about
the most depraved that it is on any
possible date In the whole year, but
the minute anybody proposes to do
something about 1t old man Inertia
gets In his work, and the reform hits
the asphalt quicker than did Roose-
velt's simplified spelling. One cannot
change anything in Washington except
money. and he should do that on the
quiet or some one will see 1t and take
it way from him. There is only one
redeeming feature about Inauguration
weather. 1t sometimes does good to
the soul to see the way 1t makes mon
keys of the solemn functionaries who
have the thing I'm charge. They take
themselves so seriously. there is so
much BUSINESS about which official

The program as given out shows
that the supreme court has got the

march in ahead, coming just behind

the various departments. Next the
vice president elect will be announced,
aud James S. Sherman. the sunny

down the aisle of the senate on the
arm Of Senator Frye. Then the show
will really begin, for the secretary of
the senate in his most official tone will
announce The president elect" Ev-
erybody will, of course, arise, as ey-
erybOdy has before arisen to greet
each illuStriouS body or functionary as
it or he has entered the chamber.
Taft will not be the last of the great
arrivals, however. The momentous an
nouncement will next be made, THE
president of the United States" Then
Theodore Roosevelt, greeted for the
final time by that high title, will enter
the chamber alone No double entry

the president and president elect
marching down the aisle together will
be abrogated, as will also that of rid

same carriage. After the inaugural is

The Presidents Greatest Tasks De-
fined In National Symposium.
What is the most important task
before the new administration under
President Taft? What one great thing
should be achieved by the incoming
Taft administration?

these questions to Il large number of
prominent men and women, all of them
representative Americans, and many
leaders in their respective fields IN the
nations work, including United States
senators, congressman, government of
ficials. governors of states, jurists, may.

authors, artists, admirals, generals
and capitalists.
Two hundred replies were received.

thing or the Kind ever pulled or.
This country is hitting the pike of
progress SO hard that everything it
does is bigger tan it ever did before.
Taft himself is the largest president
we ever had with the possible excep-
tion of Grover Cleveland, and it is my
own belief that in a straightout weigh
ing match he would have Cleveland
looking like a lightweight. If the doe.
trine of correspondence holds good,
the largest president deserves the lar
gest Inauguration, and that is what
Taft is going TO have.
1t has been officially decided that the
regular ceremony at the capitol shall
be little more solemn and impressive
than ever before. There may be joy
and color in the parade and ON the
streets, but the only color that will be
permitted at the event itself is that
of red tape. Dignity is the watchword
of the hour.

Platform to Seat 5000.

The huge Inauguration platform,
which is situated, as usual, at the east
portico of the capitol, is arranged to
seat G,000 people. The timbers used
are heavy Georgia pine, thoroughly
braced. The speakers stand, where
the president elect will take the oath
and from which he viii deliver his in
augural address, is ornamented with
a tower balustrade. 1t is % by 20
feet in dimension, while that for the
spectators is trifie over SO by 143.
This will not be big enough by several
hundred feet to accommodate all those
that want to hear the inaugural, but it
will help Those who cannot get seats
can stand off on the outskirts, see the
presidential lips move and read the
speech in the papers. The main thing,
after all, is to be able to tell their
grandchildren they saw Taft sworn in.
If the president elect bulks as large
on the future as he does everywhere
else, the mere fact that one was an on
locker at his Inauguration ought to
count for somthing.

that has been attempted is TO encour-
age all the bands possible to stay at
home. Some of the music publishers
that go to Washington for the inaugu-
ration are as bad as the weather, and
that is putting it strong. Moreover,
when two or three of them try to play
different tunes i'll the same block the
results are worse than New Years eve
on Broadway. They tie the nerves
into hard knots and make man want
forever to forswear music, with its
"charms to soothe the savage breast"
SO far from doing the soothe act, that
sort of music would make a savage
out of a Sunday school superintendent.
1t is the same way with Hail to the
Chief" 1t is a fine old tune and nat
uralIy would stir presidents heart,
but to hear it all day and all night
and that from every kind of band
including those torturers of sound that
fat the high notes, is going it little
strong. Taft is a good, husky speci

walk out of a certain door first, and
who shall take precedence in the pa
rade, and all the rest of the formal
tommyrot, that it secretly delights the
heart when the weather bedraggles
the feathers and makes a joke of the
brave show. Real patriotism suffers
