The Big Crowds That
Throng The City.
The Maine Colony viii Rest
After Inauguration.
President Taft Knows Maine and
Likes Maine People.

Washington, d. c., March A.
(SpeciaD.-The matter of getting ir
and getting out has been looming
large in Washington this week. A
great number of celebrities have been
coming-and also going-and also q
great number of plain every day
people. In through the marble arch
ways of the new Union Station have
been surging multitudes. 1t had be-
gun by Sunday and the tide of human
ity kept slapping against the city for
days and overlooking it streets. The
last civic organization does not
straggle past the Presidential review
ing stand on these inaugural occasions
before the outgoing tide sets in
There is a rush and a Jam to get
aboard. which continues for two or
three days. even for a week thereafter
Nobody ever knows how many people
come to an Inauguration. Most of the
estimates are very wild. Probably all
told the visitors are 100000.
The great Union station. said to be
the finest in the world and paid for in
funds, was built to meet just such

at Washington from time to time. No
other city has its transportation and
Commissary facilities so often taxed
to the utmost. The coming and going
are greater here, on inauguration, for
instance, than for the quadrennial
conventions, always held elsewhere
and generally in more populous cities.
A splendid waiting room for the in
gress and egress of Presidents and
Presidents-elsct was built as feature
of this station, but it has not been used
this year. although this is the first in
auguration since the many million
dollar structure was erected PreSl-
dent Taft has taken no note of that
waiting room as he has come and gone
in recent days. He just .tramped
right into the station with other
travellers when his chug wagon had
halted at the portal and he tramped
right out through the gates and
through the great waiting room, when

My Fellow Citizens:

My Fellow Citizens:
i Any one who takes the oath I have
just taken must feel heavy weight OF
responsibility If not, he has no con-
ception of the powers and duties of the
Office upon which he is about to enter
or he is lacking in a proper sense OF
the obligation which the oath imposes
The office of an inaugural address
is to give a summary outline of the
main policies of the new administra-
ton, so far as they can be anticipated.

advisers of my distinguished predeces-
sor, and as such, to hold Up his hands

should be untrue to myself to my
promises and to the declarations to the
party platform upon which l was elect
Ell to office, If I did not make the main
tenance and enforcement of those re-
forms a most important feature of my
administration. They were directed to
the suppression of the lawlessness and
abuses of power of the great cembina-
tons of capital invested in railroads
and in Industrial enterprises carrying
Oh Interstate commerce. The steps
winch my predecessor took and the
legislation passed on his recommended
ton have accomplished much, have
caused a general halt in the vicious
policies which created popular alarm,
and have brought about in the bust
ness affected, a much higher regard for
existing law
To render the reforms lasting, how
ever, and to secure at the same time
freedom from alarm on the part of
those pursuing proper and progressive
business methods, further Legislative
ana executive action are needed. Re-
lief Of the railroads from certain re-
strictions OF the antitrust law have
been urged by my predecessor and will
the a administration is pledged to legis-
lation looking to a proper federal super
vision ard restriction to prevent eX-
ccssive issues of bonds and stocks by

Then, too, a reorganization of the
Department of Justice, of the Bureau
of Corporations in the Department of
Commerce and Labor, and of the In
terstate Commerce Commission, look
ing to effective cooperation of these
agencies, is needed to secure a more
rapid ard certain enforcement Of the
laws affecting Interstate railroads and

PROTECT THEMSELVES.

In the French army the imple-
ments for defense while advancing
against an enemy are shovels and
picks for excavating earthworks,
and hatchets saws, hooks and shears
for the destruction of obstacles.
Each company Of French infantry
is now provided with 200 spades, 81
pickaxes, 10 hatchets, and 10 pairs
OF shears. These are carried upon
the knapsack or hooked to the belt,
each soldier carrying some one Of
the implements.
In advancing against an enemy
on a battlefield which does not pre-
sent natural shelter the compan-
les Of sharpshooters are paired off,
lying down the moment they stop.
If the contending armies are not es

between advances are short a mask

ficient, and one soldier fires while
the other is throwing up his mound

If the armies are close together
and the siege long one, trench

stops one soldier commences firing
while the other digs a trench with
his spade, piling the soil up at the
head of the trench as an added pro-
lection. When his task is complet-
ed he slides into the trench and
opens fire, while his companion
stops firing and constructs SINH

and an indirect expense in time and
labor?
Since 1908 came in these quest
lions have all been answered in the
affirmative by w. H. Croll, closely
Unidentified with the paper industry
Of Indiana. The gist Of the state
ments which he declares he is now
nstified in making (for he has
busted himself for some time work
ing at the experiments and perfect
ling the methods which at last have
lied to his invention) is, that from
the cotton stalk may be made wrap
ping paper, print paper, and book
Ipaper Of genuine worth.
Ii has long been known that all
woody fibre is essentially alike, and
| all Of it servicable, in varying de-
grees, for paper manufacture. One
form has been preferred to another
only because its reduction and
treatment was more convenient or
less expensive In spite Of this ac-
ademic knowledge, however, any
such invention as Mr. Croll an
nounces, is of real news value to the
world of industry if the final tests
of it, now about to be made on a
large scale, demonstrate that he
has proceeded beyond mere labra-
tory trials into methods Of practical
commercial value. 1t would not be
easy to magnify the importance Of
any discovery by which any huge
waste is turned into a by-product
yearly representing hundreds Of
thousands of dollars value.
