NV duties has become a school of pa
triotism in which men. women and chill
dren of all parties ratify, confirm and ac-
claim the verdict of the people. 1t brings
the man home to the masses as their
friend. 1t stimulates a useful rivalry in
| the state troops that take part in the
parade. IL recognizes the greatness OF
the day which gives q new President to
the greatest people on earth: and it
makes the whole land feel that the Presf-
dent is its chief executive in time Of
peace and it's commander-in-chief In time
OF war. While he takes the oath Of Office
under the Constitution those who witness
1t take an unspoken oath of allegiance to
that Constitution.
This is a clear recognition of the ma
tional importance OF inauguration day.
1t Is futile to contend that the induction
OF the President into Office is only local
show. The fact that despite the threat
OF life-menacing weather great crowds
persist In coming to Washington every
fourth year In March to witness the cere-
monies of the Inauguration is the most
convincing proof that the people Of all
parts Of the country of all classes and
all conditions of life are deeply interested
in and are periodically inspired by the
induction into Office of the man whom
they have chosen as the head of the
state. The patriotic impulse which draws
this multitude to Washington quadren-
nially demands recognition by Congress
in the form of a constitutional amend
ment which will enable people of the
United States in safety and in comfort to
be present at the capital on the most
significant day in the federal calendar.
Combining as it does the provisions for
longer session, a more clement inaueu-
n do
safeguards against administrative lapses
the necessity Of which has been apparent
for many years. the Henry resolution
calls for immediate consideration so that
it may be approved by the Senate and
submitted to the state legislatures in
ample season for ratification by the
necessary three-fourths in time for the
next induction into ONCE. The concluding
paragraph of the judiciary committees
report is alone a sufficient argument for
the enactment of this legislation:
The manifest hiatus in the Constitu-
ton rendering possible absolute chaos in
government for four years should be
speeoliy cured by the adoption Of this
amendment before some great national
calamity unhappily befalls our people by
reason or the serious omission in the
constitution as herein pointed out II
MI Taft and Mr.. Sherman had died or
become disabled between the ponular
election in 1908 and their Inauguration in
1909. our government would have been
without an executive for the four en-
suing years ending March 4. 1913 In
TINS hour or peace, prosperity and govern
mental virility let us take this necessary
and appropriate step and submit the
amendment to the respective states"
Thus stated the report presents an i'm
perative duty to the House of Repre-
sentatives which cannot be safely neglect
ed, however remote may be the con-
at which this proposed Iesisla-
ton is directed.

tional amendment covers three points, the
extension of the short session OF Congress
from, three to five months, the provision
of better and safer date for the in

April FOOLS Day Nuisance.
From the Rochester Democrat.

From the Rochester Democrat.
The village cut-up is one of the most
familiar "rube'' types of the comic paper,
and an important part Of its stock in
trade 1t is little surprising, therefore,
to learn that this uncouth jester has
near relatives in the great city, even in
New York, where humor is supposed to
reach its highest stage of refinement. The
April fool joker has become such nui-
sance there that the authorities of the
AQUARIUM have already made arrange
ments for dealing with him when the
first day Of April arrives. In past years
many calls have been received on that
day from men who have been told that a
message has been received requesting
them to call 1882, Rector, and ask for
Mr.. Fish. The joke has been overworked
to such an extent that the telephone at
the Aquarium will be disconnected all
day. The practical joker will have to
find a new outlet for his humor.

Significant Utterance.

If you some simple fact should state
That was self-evident
No one would pause to contemplate
The energy you'd spent
In framing up a pungent phrase
Eternal truth to show.
Men would remark. and 60 their ways:
I'VE knew that long ago
But IL some man whose name is heart
Throughout this land immense
Let's fall some ordinary word
OF plain and homely sense.
With admiration uncontrolled
The public far and near
Statutes him and exclaims: Behold!
An epigram is here"
And so once more a mighty truth
Is wildly impressed.
'Tis not enough to think, forsooth.
And have your thought expressed.
The maxim once to trade confined
To wisdom now applies;
whate'er you do bear this in mind:
1t pays to advertise. :

proposition at least the two wings OF tne
party are Tapping together. me east

scented by men experienced in legislation
and we'll considered by their associates
Mr.. Dalzell and Mr. Smith properly
and deservedly headed the poll If 1t was
true that the fight against the old COM
mittee was not personal as respected MI
Cannon, 1t could not have been SO as re-
epected his two republican associates. II
all desired was the destruction of sys-
tenn. that object had been accomplished,
and both Mr.. Dalzell and Mr.. Smith
were clearly eligible for service under
the new system.
There was something to be said IN
favor of insurgent representation on the
new committee. AS the creature OF IN
sureent suggestion and activity. 1t might
we'll have carried in its membership one
of their number. Such member would
have been a medium of Interpretation to
the insurgent side as to all questions
presented to the committee But the
point was not pressed beyond the ballot
ing, which showed no great strength for
the proposition, and the insurgents
bowed to the regulars.
Tonight the democrats caucus. and to-
morrow the House will pass upon the
names presented. At once. therefore, the
new order will go into operation.
What will the harvest be? The majority
marty has no time to lose. Much should
be done, and early July should witness
the adjournment of Congress. 1t is UNI
necessary to enumerate the measures
awaiting action, or to dwell upon their
Importance and the party's obligations.
Action has been promised, and. unless IT
is taken. explanations In the campaign
will be difficult.
But let nobody expect wonders so far
as House procedure is conce The
country has been reused unusually by
the cry against the Speaker and his

some Of them most absurd In character
have created a false and mfschievous
notion about the House and its business.
The Speaker now, whatever influence
he exerted as a member Of the rules
committee, is "outs of it, The so-called
car is dethroned, and an enlarged COM
mittee has matters in hand. But it is
likely to appear soon that the legislative
millennium has not been materially has
