THE fact that The Washington
HehaId called the public's attention to
the Inactivity OF Congress in the mat
ter OF changing the date OF Inaugural
tion to a more seasonabIs time OF the
year is positive proof that IL has the
public welfare at heart and is a true
champion of the wishes of the people
OF Washington.
Assistant District Attorney John Lew
f. smith,
IT the question OF changing the
date for the Inauguration were submit
ted TO a popular vote, those favoring
a different time Of the year, I am
convinced would be in the great ma
jOrity. That being the case, II seems
to me that Congress should take i'm
mediate steps and comply with the
wishes Of the people. The Herald is
rendering the people at large a great
service by reminding Congress that
something should be done in the prem
ises."

having the inauguration at q more
agreeable time of the years
II am heartily in favor OF a change,
and would suggest that the latter part
OF April or the early part OF October
would make splendid days on which
the great ceremony could be observed.
am also in favor Of extending the
duration of the festivities connected
three days, and make II a national in
stead Of a local AFFAIR. The Herald
has my good wishes In the matter"
James NJ Proctor and Samuel McC.
Hawken. United States assistant district
attorneys, did not hesitate to join those
who are in favor Of a change.
Attorney F. Walter BrandenburE
saIdI
ut is q wonder the date has not
been changed long ago, in view OF
the depIorable fact that many deaths
can be directly traced to the severe
climatic conditions generally prevail
ing in the early part of the month
of March 1t should not require
much arguing to convince Congress
of the great necessity for an imme-
date change. fhe whole community
Is indebted 10 The Herald for call
ing tns attention of Congress to this
important matter"
Former United States Assistant Dis
trict Attorney NJ. f. MnnEan said;
''The death toll OF March in the
Inauguration year should prove one
Of the strongest arguments in favor
of change. AS long as there are
no constitutional objections to a
change, there is no good reason why
the old date should be kept when a
more seasonable. time will be OF un-
told benefit to all concerned. With
its usual eye on the interests Of the
people The Washington Herald Is
again TO the front in behalf OF the
people.

Col. Roosevelt Entertains Newspaper
Men With Lecture on the
War President of the
Country.
LETTERS FROM LINCOLN
Called tine Reporters in on Promise to
Talk and Then Did Not Say
Anything About
Politics.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
NEW YORK Feb. s.-Referring to
the famous war president as pro
gressiye with a bride on" Colonel
Roosevelt pointed out extracts from
speeches and letters OF President
Lincoln which he said had a peculiar
significance in their application to his
own position at present.
The colonel assembled the newspa-
per men in the main Office of the Out
look and remarked:
This is the first class in applied
decent politics.
You have noticed, young gentle
men, he said, that ON frequent oc-
casions have told you had moth
ing to say for publication / want to
read you the following from a letter
written by Mr.. Lincoln in 1860 to C.
F. Mcneil:
q have made this explanation to
you as a friend: but l wish no ex-
PLANTATION made to our enemies. What
they want is a squabble and fuss,
and they can have 1t If We explain
l.
The colonel then referred TO the crit
icisms that had been leyeled at him
because he had entertained promin-
ent labor leaders at the white house.
In this connection he quoted a reply
by Lincoln TO committee from the
working mems association of New
York as follows:
Labor is prior to and independent
OF capital Capital is only the fruit
of labor and could never have existed
II labor had not first existed Labor
is the superior of capital and deserves
much the higher credit Let not him
who builds pull down the house OF
another. but let him work diligently
and build one for himself. thus by ex-
ample. assuring that his own shall be
safe from violence when built .
The colonel then read from the let
ter written by Lincoln to G. D. Prem
tice, October. 1860. 1t follows, in
part:
Your suggestion that /, in GER
tain event, shall write letter, set
ting forth my conservative views and
intentions is certainly a very worthy
one. But would it do any good? IL

Another paragraph the colonel read
was az follows:

ing brave. patriotic men are better
than gold.'''
AS the colonel finished this, he
smiled at his interviewers and said:

gentlemen represent have accused peo-
pie of being anarchists when they
