Order of State Troops in Column.

It is probable that departure viii be
taken this year in the inaugural parade.
and that a beginning viii be made to-
ward having the industries and trade
Of the country represented in the march
ing column.
The Merchants and Manufacturers As
sociation Of Baltimore, a large and
wealthy organization representing the
business interests OF that city. has ac-
cepted an invitation 10 participate in the
parade Yesterday the matter was
brought 10 the attention OF the Cham
Der OF Commerce, and leading spirits In
thar body are impressed with the wisdom
Of sending out invitations further with
a view 10 adding to the manufacturing
contingent from Maryland by bringing
representatives Of other trade and manu-
featuring bodies 10 Washington 20 form
the nucleus, al least, OF a CONNER
eisl division OF the marching column.
Has Been Military and Civic.
Hitherto the Inauguration pageant has
been military, patriotic and civic. But
there seems no reason why the great in
duStries OF the country and its conner
cial power should not have fitting repre-
Sentstion in the parade. America is not
a warlike nation on the one hand. nor is
Il a nation Of political clubs and lodges
on the other. Il is by way OF eminence
an industrial and commercial nation. and
yet to look upon the Inauguration
pageants Of the past an observer would
never have suspected the fact
The movement toward bringing some
Of the more prominent commercial bodies
OF the country here. 10 be known as
such. ard 10 have 3 fitting place in the
parade is a departure that ought 10 have
been taken years ago. Though started
late il may be that a good number OF the
commercial men OF the nation will honor
Taft and Sherman as the military and
civic bodies VIII do on March 4
Wight Have Third Division.
Il would be well IL the Washington
Chamber Of Commerce and Board OF Trade I
should gather q third division Of the 7
parade 10 be known distinctively as the /
Industrial and commercial division. TO
It from the military and /
civic divisions.
