Of all of us. He is our foremost repre-
sentative and mouthpiece during four
years. We may not agree with all his
views, but we are for him neverthe-
less. lie may want the tariff scram-
bled, while we like it hard boiled, but
these things shall not mar our good
feeling. If we do not approve his
brand Of government we will have
chance to whack 1t in four years. In
the meantime let us inaugurate him
in the good old way-with blare Of
bands and much shouting.
There will be no inaugural ball,
much to the disgust Of various people
who wanted to dance the turkey trot
the bunny hug and other ragtlme
glides and wiggles; also to the dealers
in white dress gloves and those who
expected to sell tickets, but much to
the satisfaction Of the pension office
Uncle Sam and the people generally.
The proposed reception at the capitol
building was also called off, since 1t
would have cntaled expense and would
have kept the new president shaking
hands most Of the night. In place Of
these affairs there will be various pri-
yate functions, one at the New Will
lard promising TO be the most elaborate.
II people want to dance they will have
the opportunity, provided they can get
an invitation.
Plenty Of Red Fire.
II they do not desire to dance they
can repair to the elllpse south OF the
white House and watch the fireworks.
These will break all records, They will
open by firing the national salute Of
t01 guns. Pictures Of Wilson and Mar
shall and nm immense American flag
will be wrought in fire, There viii be
thousands Of colorcd lights, batteries,
candles and bombs, 100 ucrOplNncs and
balloons and hundreds Of geysers
Mines flashes, turbillions and aerolltes
Red fire will be burned all along Penn.
