HOUSE BEGINS DEBATE
ON INAUGURATION DATE
After Bitter Fight, Decision Is
Reached to Start Dis
cussion on Subject.

Representative Henry's proposition to
change the date of the inauguration was
brought up again in the House late this
afternoon and met with a stormy pas
sage. Instead of giving the resolution q
clear pathway, several members did
everything they could to prevent dis
cussion of the change in the Constitution
which would afford every chance of a
decent ceremony as far as weather Is
concerned.
Because Representative Henry is the
chairman on the committee on rules many
representatives have had their pet leg1s-
lation spoiled by his power, and some OF
these wreaked their vengence on Mr..
Henry's pet project, the change of the
inaugural date.
When Mr.. Henry first preached the sub
ject this afternoon he introduced reso-
luton to allow four hours debate on the
resolution, which, if adopted, will change
the Date of the Inauguration to the last
Thursday in April This was voted down
by A to 80 Mr.. Henry Immediately made
a point of no quorum.

Representative Sherley of kentucky.

Mr.. Henry.
Refuses to Adjourn.
After a half hours voting. 1t was
seen that the House refused to adjourn
by Al to $50.
The House then voted on whether or
not the rule should be brought up.
Fifty-six representatives rose in the
affirnoati tive and ffty-two In the NEGATIVE
That would have been sufficient to dis
cuss the change in date, but Representa-
tive Mann of Illinois demanded a roll
call vote.
The House then voted. 40 to 1O1, to dis
cuss the inauguration resolution, and at
2:15 o'clock this afternoon entered into
four hours debate on the subject.

Laborers Are Aided.

AN agricultural laborer in Denmark
who has worked on a farm for five years,
who is poor and who has character
so good that two reputable members Of
his commune will certify to it may OBJ
tain from one of these banks a loan
OF about si.5s2 in our money. He OBJ
tains this solely on his character and
ability and not by any material security
he can offer. With this money he may
purchase a farm of from three and a
half TO twelve acres. This farm means
live and dead stock on the land and the
necessary implements for the working of
IL. The amount loaned by the bank
covers probably nine-tenths of the value
OF the farm--not OF the land because
land in Denmark is never sold merely as
land. The farm is judged by the value
OF its production for let us say. at least
seven years in hard corn. which repre-
sents its ability to sustain dairy cattle
and hogs. This is example of the
way in which the Danish government
encourages the multiplication OF small
farms.
Now, as to the question OF education
IL is compulsory. II has been COM
pulsory for many years, and the awaken
ing of Denmark TO the careful use of
It's natural resources is due TO two things
the Danish sense of the practical value
OF practical education. and a series of
disasters.

Mr.. Redfields announcement follows the
solicitation OF Representative Walter l.
Mccoy OF New Jersey that Mr.. Redfleld
become a candidate. Mr.. Redfeld made
public this correspondence today:
Urges Candidacy Upon Him.
My Dear Mr.. Redfield: AS the time
for the Baltimore convention approaches
the thoughts OF democrats ought to turn
to the consideration of a candidate for
the vice presidency.
A great many members of the House
have spoken of you with enthusiasm as a
candidate for that high Office and appli-
cants for copies of your tariff speeches
and or Other speeches. made by you have
indicated a like enthusiasm.
Permit me to say that in my opinion
no man of my acquaintance is more fitted
for any high public Office than yourself,
and believing so l trge you to permit the
use of your name as candidate for the
vice presidency.
Sincerely yours.
walter /. MCCOY"
Reply of Mr.. Redfield.
My Dear Mr.. Mccoy:
81 have received your favor of this
date and appreciate it's courteous and
complimentary character. The kindly re-
ception which has been given to what l
have been able to say respecting the tar
lff and it's evil effects upon both our
manufacturers and their employees has en-
couraged me in the belief that the time
was near when this heavy burden might
be taken from us all.
Frankly, 1t is my earnest desire to con-
tribute to that result and my earnest
hope that the day of self-reliant industry
in this land may soon come. The
sooner it comes the better for every
man among us.
IF you think this cause can be best
aided by the use of my name as a
candidate for Vice President. you are
free to so use it. But i must also add
that l am ready to serve with zeal in
the good fight as a private i that he
the party will Perhaps / ought to add
also that from many other sources sug-
geStions have come similar to your own,
and the above may be considered my
reply to them all. Yours very truly

The wonderful story of how the Danes,

brought their country to state of agri-
cultural prosperity second only to Eng
land among the old world countries Is
told by DR.. Maurice Francis Egan, Amer

pleted on behalf of the State Department.
lecture tour through the farming dis
tricts of the south.
DIR. Egan, together with several other of
the American diplomatic officers in Eu-
rope. has. under Instructions from the
State Department. made thorough study
of the farmers welfare" problem in the
European countries. of the part played
by the governments i'm advancing the
material prosperity of the farmers. of the
success of the farmers themselves In
forming cooperative societies for mutual
assistance. and of the advantages secured
to the whole people of those countries
from the promotion of their agricultural
resources He is engaged now in prepar-
ing report upon the methods Of the
Danish government in supplying cheaper
money for its farmers, which idea Pres
ident Taft hopes to Introduce into the
United States for the benefit Of the Amer
lean farmer.
Now Prosperous People.
Speaking of his recent lecture tour
through the SOUTH DIR. Egan said:
Il was sent by the Department of
State TO expose to dairymen, and farmers
especially interested in dairying, the
methods by which the Danes have be-
come the most prosperous people agricul-
turally in Europe. When 1 say most
prosperous / mean by comparison and
taking into consideration the obstacles
they have had TO meet and overcome.
The wealth per capita of Denmark is
comparatively next to that Of England
This wealth. however. is equalized. There
are no very rich people there. Every
man is fairly well off, but the poorer
he is the more carefully does he con-
serve his resources. Material well being
Is as common in Denmark as education
For instance, the only means of nv-
ing which the Danes have is agricul-
ture. Denmark, like Julius Caesars
Gaul OF ancient days. is divided into three
parts-butter. bacon and eggs. Now, the
government. being dependent upon the
farmers. does everything In it's power
10 increase the number of small farmers.
and this il has done by making money
as cheap as possible for the farmers 1t
