which President Taft has been a men,
Der. After the prayer the vicepresi-
dent administered the oath of Office
to all the newly chosen senators, and
Herewith the senate of the United
States passed for the first time in
years into the control of the Demo
cratic party. ... r.
Procession to the Platform.
Immediately after the senate cere-
monies procession WAS formed to
march to the platform of the east por-
tico of the capitol, where Woodrow
Wilson was to take the oath. The pro-
cession included the president and the
president-elect, members of the Su-
preme court, both houses of congress,
all of the foreign ambassadors, all Of
the heads Of the executive depart
ments, many governors of states and
territories, Admiral Dewey of the navy
and several high officers of the sea
service, the chief of staff OF the army
and many distinguished persons from
civil life. They We're followed by the
members of the press and by those
persons who had succeeded in secur-
ing seats in the senate galleries to
witness the days proceedings.
When President Taft and the presi-
dent-elect emerged from the capitol
on to the porticO they saw in front
of them, reaching far back into the
park to the east, an immense con-
course of citizens. In the narrow line
form on which Mr.. Wilson was to take
the oath, were drawn up the cadets
of the two greatest government
schools, West Point and Annapolis,
and flanking them were bodies of reg
ulars and of national guardsmen. The
whole scene was charged with color
and with life.
On reaching the platform the presi-
dent and president-elect took the
seats reserved for them, seats which
were flanked by many rows of benches
rising tier on tier for the accom- oda-
ton of the friends and families of the
officers of the government and of the
press.
Oath Administered to Wilson.
The instant that Mr.. Taft and Mr..
Wilson came within sight of the crowd
there was q great outburst OF ap-
plause, and the military bands struck
quickly into THE Star Spangled Ban
ner." Only few bars of the music
were played and then soldiers and CT
villains became silent to witness re-
specially the oath taking and to
listen to the address which followed.
The chief justice of the Supreme
court delivered the oath to the presi-
dent-elect, who, uttering the words,
II WILL" became president OF the
United States. As soon as this cere-
mony was completed Woodrow Wilson
delivered his inaugural address, his
first speech to his fellow countrymen
in the capacity of their chief execu-
tive. ....
At the conclusion of the speech the
bands played once more, and William
Howard Taft, now ex-president of the
United States, entered carriage with
the new president and, reversing the
order of an hour before, sat on the
left hand side of the carriage, while
Mr.. Wilson took "the seat of honor"
on the right. The crowds cheered as
they drove away to the White House,
which Woodrow Wilson entered as the
occupant and which William II. Taft

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
SUBJECT OF SERMON
Dean Samuel r. Colladay Discusses
Need Of Developing Fundamental
Element of Character

Al st Marks cathedral Yesterday morn
ing a special service in honor OF the Ma
tional Education association was held
Dean Samuel r. Coladay spoke on Tho
Value Of Religion in Education" His re-
marks in substance were as follows,
The value OF religion in education
lies In Its unique power to develop
that most fundamental element OF
characterize spirit Of service Hence
lis value is supreme. We cannot dis
pense with 1t in our scheme OF edu-
cation. But where shall we bring II
in2 The school cannot teach religion;
that is the province OF the home and
Of the church. But the school can
greatly help II can teach religious
character. Too often now we teach
the children OF some great and good
man, but never tell them OF that life
hid with God which made him what
he was. We all know OF Washing
tons courage at Valley Forge. but
few know OF the hours spent In
prayer In the quiet Of the winter
woods which was the secret OF that
sustained courage
SO the school can insist on the value
OF religion in complete education,
and thus both recall the home TO its
forgotten responsibility, and cooper
ate with the church In its task OF edu-
eating the boys and girls In religion

After a rest over Sunday the various
contestants in the Stampede will resume
the struggle for championship honors and
the big cash prizes this afternoon. and
from now on there will be contests each
afternoon and evening until Thursday
night. This afternoon there will be addi-
tional interest created in the contests by
the presence of nearly 200 more contes-
tants who arrived last night. These peo-
pie have been holding a series Of contests
in Laramie, Wyo.. and the entire outfit
has come on TO participate in the tourna-
ment being held here. The Laramie con-
tests only concluded Friday night, making
IL impossible for the people to be here for
the opening day. but the entries were
wired on ahead and provision made for
the contestants TO make up their scores
during the four days remaining. AS the
cha mpionshlps are awarded upon the re-
suits for the entire meet. rather than on
the performances for one day, the new
corners will have the same chance as those
who were here for the opening,
In addition TO taking part In the con-
tests, the Wyoming people will partici-
pate in the special n, L. y. parade that
is planned for this morning. The Stam-
pede officials have ARA nged TO add 10 the
parade representatives of the various types
of frontier characters in order that the
visitors may be given a true picture OF
the frontier as it was in Its early days

II o'clock. The contest programme will
begin at 2:20,
While every event on the Stampede pro-
gramme Is full Of thrills and excitement.
the three relay races and the chariot race
demand their share of attention each day.
The relay races are in three separat tie
classes. one for cowboys. one FOR cowsirls
and one for Indians Each race is two
miles, with each rider using four horses
and changing each half mile. The cow
boys and cowgtrls must change saddles
and brides each time. making it as much
a contest OF speed and skill on the part
OF the cowboy as II is speed OF the horses.
The chariot race in half-mile heats Is one
Of the most spectacular features The two
! teams are as nearly perfect matches as
could be ina gined and very closely
matched in speed. The races give a
good representation OF the chariot races
In the old days at Rome and form a
thrilling spectacle that never fails TO hold
the attention Of the spectators every Sec
ond.
In the bucking contest. as announced for
today the third set OF riders will be seen.
The large number OF entries in this event
has made II necessary TO divide the con-
testants into groups. allowing one group
TO ride each day.
1t was announced yesterday that here
after children under 12 years OF age VIII
be admitted at half price. and that box
seats will be on sale each day at the
