Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1912-03-03

tomorrow will be inauguration day. Tut
tut-tut,-write your own ticket on the
number of tut-tut-tuts!-it seems only
last Tuesday-a-week since last Inaugural
ton day. The years are beginning to blur
together. It's grisly jest, the teenchy-
weenchy little space of time be-
tween inaugurations of late years. A
year from tonight the weather bureau
will be stalking it's reputation that inaugu-
ration day will be the mellowest, the
clementest, the salubriousest day in the
history of Washington. Or. If the wealth
er bureau doesn't do that, 1T will be stalk
ing, it's reputation that inauguration day
will be evocative of a blizzard such as
Medicine Hat never knew since the be-
ginning of meteorological history. We
hope ii does the latter. Then the pageant
will look fine in the soft spring sun
shine.
Who's going 10 be inaugurated?
The above question IS Ine glst of what
We started out to write about.
VINO is going 10 be inaugurated year
from tomorrow? we inquire again and
repeat and da capo.
We respectfully refer YOU to little
balladlet sung by Eva Tanguay for the
answer The little balladet is called Il
Don't Care
For, honest Injun and with no crossing
of the fingers nor exc the galiuses and
wholly without mental reservation OF any
sort, we don't care who is going to be
inausurated year from tomorrow.
1t isn't going to make particle OF
difference to us. Wen see the Inaugural
ton parade, and very lihely Wen go to
the inaugural bail, and Wei aeethe ana

row, but We are not song to care one
pesetas worth VINO is song to be in
augurated.
we used to care good deal about this
thing. 1t used to make a lot or d1ner-
ence, not actually, put IN our minds.
but We are not gong TO set net up TINS
time. 1t wouldn't 40 us or anybody else
the least good ii We did; moreover, It
Woula interfere with our digestion IL we
did, not to say our Brahmlmstic calm,
our poise, our placidity. The next time
We let anything interfere With such i'm
pOrtant JninaS as those We are gong
to see to 1t i'll advance that the interior
ing thing is something that Will really
concern us, that will nave the slightest
or Iemotest bearing upon our happiness
and welfare. And the question as 10 VINO
is going TO be inaugurated Pre- -ldent ot
the United States year from tomorrow
certainly isn't going to have anything
whatever to do with our welfare or hap
piness. That's why we are gong to res
oluteiy decline to become caiOric in the
vicinage OF the neckDand with regard to
that point, now or at any time before or
after the campaign.

wantonly and prodisally during the past

and worrying as to who was going to be
the next President of the United States.
oh, the speculation that we've wasted

we've advanced or had pulled on US, the
riotous and indecorous stand we've taken
