representatives had assembled a few
minutes before, and at the door the
vice president received him and at
tended him to the chair.
The vice president then said, "Sir
the senate and the house Of represent

the oath required by the constitution,
which will be administered by the
state of New York" The president
answered, 81 am ready to proceed"
The vice president and the senators
led the way, and, followed by the rep

Wall and Broad streets, which were

Jefferson's second Inauguration on

than his first.
A Ceremonious Occasion.
The Inauguration of James Madison
was the first ceremony which was
made a great occasion. The day was
an early hour the volunteer corps of
militia began TO assemble. So great
was the crowd that the oath of office
was administered In the old hall Of
representatives. now statuary hall. at
the capitol. For the first time in the
history OF inaugurations the various
branches Of the government were ush-
cred into the hall with ceremonious
pomp and parade.
James Madison was inaugurated the
second time on March 4. 1913. He had
a military escort. and the ceremonies
in the house Of representatives were
similar TO those OF his first Inaugural
don. In the evening there was an IN
auguration ball at Davis hotel, which
Is now the Metropolitan.
The 4th Of March. 1917. was beau

AS the day for the second Inaugural

John Quincy Adams was inaugurated
on March 4, 1925, and the day was one

agreed not to participate in the In

escort to the president elect. A COM

The second Inauguration of Andrew

the fact that such matters as infant
mortality, the birth rate, physical de
generacy, orphanage, juvenile courts
child desertion, illegitimacy, dangers
and diseases of children of the poor
matters pertaining to the home and
children-are as important as matters
of finance and tariff.
Take leaf from the Juvenile court
of Judge Lindsey of Denver, one of
the best friends of childhood:
almost every day some young Grim
inal in my court says, The old man
skipped out and left ma to care for
u.s. OF sixty-fve boys arrested for
stealing brass from railroads two
thirds had been deserted by their ia
Tiers"
Note the heart cry of this judge:
81 am more interested in SAVING
! THOSE BOYS who stole brass from
the railroads than IN REGULATION
OF RAILROAD RATES"
The judge is right. The real prob
lens of government today are those
of CHILD FUTURE. What avails
law or economic prosperity If we go
on rearing young criminals who break
the law and hinder prosperity?
This is hard saying, but it is true:
Today more attention is paid by gov
eminent to THE CIVILIZATION OF
THE FILIPINOS than to the work of
MAKING good MEN and WOMEN in
AMERICA.
Now
Every child in this republic deserves
to have a decent and healthful envi-
ronment, good common school educa-
ton and fair chance to make himself
a good citizen. Else the republic is
not opportunity.
And
When society neglects to provide
that much for the child and the child
turns out badly it is THE FAULT OF
SOCIETY.
In the face of this responsibility the
state has done scarcely anything. The
juvenile court was beginning.
But the day will COMETS coming
when THE HOME and THE CHILD
will be the chief concern Of politics.
The day is coming when political plat
forms will declare for the welfare of
the home and the boys and girls in the
home!
The children's bureau is an entering
wedge.
The state, which depends upon the
home. should not leave to the volun-
tary. desultory and ineffective work
of private charity that which is its
own chief concern.

WHO KILLED THE BABY7
Baby Bremerman of Washington was

Baby Bremerman of Washington was
killed by poisonous gas.
The Bremerman family was poor. II
used a cheap gas stove which leaked
and poisoned the family. All recovered
except the baby.
Investigation showed that the poi.
onous gas was carbon monoXide. 1t
was not coal gas, the merchantable
gas, at all. 1t was a mixture of % per
cent coal gas with product known as
carbureted water gas.
You see, 1t is cheaper to make gas of
water than out of coal. So long as no
one makes objection the water gas
serves the same purpose as coal gas
and the gas company gets bigger dlvi-
/ dends.
But
The mixture Of the two gases pro-
duces percentage of carbon monox-
ide, one Of the most deadly gases
| known to chemists.
| So that the people of Washington
are receiving through the gas pipes
into their homes a deadly poison. This
poison does not "asphyxiate" people, as
does coal gas. 1t strikes them down
suddenly when they get a Whit of 1t.
II the people happen to be poor. like
the Bremermans, and there is a leak
in the pipes or the stove. there is a
tragedy.
Well
Who killed the Bremerman baby?
The Washington Gas Light company
contracted with the Bremermans to
give them pure coal gas. Presumably
they paid their bills. else their supply
would have been cut of.
Now, II after making this contract
the gas light company substituted a
cheaper product which was poisonous,
common sense would suggest that the
gas company killed the baby.
The department Of justice says no.
II says there is no liability on the
part Of the company for the results Of
its carbon monoxide. II the poison
killed the Bremerman baby-why. Il
must have been a mysterious dispen-
sation Of Divine Providence
Because. say the lawyers. congress
did not say the company should not
make and sell this poison (sic). there

the undoubted right to poison Bremen

W URING the early years Of the
II government, before the capital
W was moved to Washington, the
induction of a president, al
though a ceremony of great dignity
and solemnity, was a very small and
select affair.
In New York for nearly a fortnight
preceding the great day of April 80,
1850, every tavern and boarding house
had been thronged with visitors, and
on the day before the Inauguration
every private house was filed with
guests from all parts Of the Union.
In the center Of the procession, pre-
ceded by the senate and followed by
representatives, walked George Wash
ington. On reaching Federal hall the
troops formed a line on each side Of
the way, through which the president
with his attendants, was conducted to

RHEUMATISM CANNOT BE
CURED UNLESS URIC-O
IS USED.
Sudden Deaths, Heart Failure and
Paralysis Are Caused By Poison
Gus Uric and Rheumatic Acids.

The Rheumatic person is skepti-
regarding the claims of almost
any remedy advertised as a cure
for rheumatism and one can
scarcely blame him for being so.
All the plasters and liniments
combined never actually cured a
case of Rheumatism. They may
may relieve it in one quarter but
it is sure to break out somewhere
else. The only true way to cure
Rheumatism is to drive it from
the system, for as long as the
Uric and Rheumatic Acid remains
in the blood, one is never entirely
free from the trouble. Uric-O
seeks out the Rheumatic poison in
the blood, muscles and kidneys,
renders it inert and harmless and
drives it out of the system. 1t is
composed of perfect antidotes for
the rheumatic acid poison in the
system, and the secret of it's won
derful success lies in the fact
that it is designed to cure Rheu-
matism only.

FRESNO, Oct. 25.-Railroadmen are
discussing who will be the superintend-
ent of the western division of the
Southern Pacific. W. A. McGovern
states that he is going on November
/ and hints that he may join the forces
of Epes Randolph in Mexico and take
service on the Southern Pacific extern
sion there.
Rumor says that W. H Averell is
slated for the western division, while
again il is said that E. c. Manson from
Ogden is to come here.
This, however, is not verified nor is
the report that he is to 1 be sent to
Los Angeles. McGoverns successor
is a matter of great interest, especially
as his jurisdiction extends to Fresno.

Clapp will be relieved at this place
