The king of Spain has ordered the
buttons on the sleeves of servants
who wait at his table cut off. This is
because of an awkward happening at
a dinner given by the king at the
palace at Madrid to two eminent 1nan-
ciers. One of the guests wore a
peruke. One of the walters, as he
was serving this financier, hooked his
peruke on button of his sleeve and
carried it away to the kitchen. Span
fish etiquette is of too severe char
acter to permit laughter at such an
incident. When the servant discover
ed what he had done he fed. carry
ing the peruke with him, and the
financier left the palace baldheaded
and in a very bad humor.

Inauguration Of A President
Can interesting editorial from the
Baltimore Sun of March Bird

An interesting editorial from the
Baltimore Sun Of March Bird.
Tomorrow Washington will be
the centre Of the civilized world,
the capital of nations. All think
ing men in every quarter of the
globe will turn their mind S eyes
for IA little space at least, In the
direction Of a city where the most
significant political ceremony
known among men is taking place.
Citizens of the United States them
selves have grown so accustomed to
these Quadrennial formalitieS that
they fail to realize the full inner
meaning of them, the great and ma
jestic thing that they symbolic. 1t
is not a political celebration but a
political sacrament that the nation
observes when, with all the splen-
dor Of a great and solemn rite, it
renews the covenant made with llb-
erty nearly 1877 years ago, when its
high priests pledged life and for
tune and sacred honor to the cause
Of free government.
We cannot make such an occa-
sion too glorious. We cannot rec
ognize too deeply and too earnestly
what it stands for to us and all man
kind. Much has been said about
republican simplicity in the induc-
ton of cur Chief Magistrate into
office, but it is not love OF holl-
day show alone that dictates the
pomp and parade that have become
features of this event. The military
pageant, the inspiring music, the
gorgeous coloring, the wonderful
magnetism that flows from vast
human concourse representing
evry section Of a mighty state OF a
hundred million citizens, the SIM
pie impressiveness of the picture,
which forms the centre OF 1t all,
standing out against the beauty OF
the Capitol the picture OF a free
man taking an oath Of fidelity to
freemen-all these are the fitting
symbols of truth toward which
the world has been moving through
Newark post., 1913-03-05

many ages; truth which it has
sometimes grasped and just as Of
ten lost, and which now at last
seems founded on Il rock which
nothing can overthrow. The thing
that IS crowned with the laurel
wreath at our capital overy four
years is the political idelaism of
manhood, the political evolution of
humanity to its higher civic estate
an object lesson in the sovereign
lty and the potency of a democracy
built on equality Of right and equal
ity OF right and equality of oppor-
tunity, and inspired by the eternal
principles Of justice.
No wonder the world looks on in
sympathy when this splendid bea-
con light flashes out again on it's
gaze. The scoffers have told us we
should 60 down like all the democ-
racies and republics of the past,
and from time to time clouds and
darkness have seemed to envelop
our path. And the soul Of human
lty has been troubled and anxious
when we stumbled, and has seemed
IN its distress to call aloud to the
Watchmen to ask, What of the
night?' But the prophets of evil
have prophesied falsely and the
soothsayers have imagined a vain
thing, and through all the storm
and stress the dawn Of each new in
auguration day find the banner of
an advancing and improving de-
mocracy still floating from our
walls. To every man throughout
the world who is struggling upward
toward thelight of self-government
to every people who are striving to
throw off the oppression Of tradi,
tional privilege, tomorrow cere-
monies at Washington will carry q
special message of hope and good
cheer.
. To us they speak in even louder
tones Of a magnificent triumph OF
self-conquest and self-development
of closer communion than fol
many years with our purest spirit
and ideals, Of the casting aside OF
the temptations that so easily beset
a powerful and wealthy nation, and
Of a girding up of our loins for the
achievement of the splendid things
tina tbeckon us to battle.
