FORT MADISON, Iowa, Jan. s.
That the public spirit OF the Water
Power company extends not only to
constructing at immense cost the new
lake shore boulevard from Keokuk to
Montrose, when the requirements up
on it did not exceed replacing short
stretch OF very bad road. but that it's
philanthropy extends to saving Lee
county nearly $4,000 in bridge fund,
is the showing made by the annual
report of E. N. Jack, superintendent
of bridges, to the county auditor, just
filed here.
The report shows that the county
has to build seven new bridges Of 212
lineal feet OF length at cost Of ST..
0Ss.75, which is s31.13 per lineal foot.
On the old road were SIS feet OF
bridges, old, worn out and unsafe.
which at the present rate would have
cost s1S,e57 The difference between
these amounts, s11 s6S, Is what Lee
county has saved by virtue Of the
Water Power company engineering
along the river between Keokuk and
Montrose.
This comes somewhat as q surprise
ito most people and was unknown here
until the report OF Superintendent
Jack was made to the auditor. 1t was
known that the Water Power company
had spent an immense amount OF
money on that new lake shore road,
hut that Lee county actually saves
nearly $4,000 to It's bridge fund there
by was not understood, at least up
here.

big stores meant to close on the 5th
of July as well as the 4th, and how
many meant to spoil their employees

The first store encountered was
Marshall Field's-the great en-
porium, in whose rule book for en-
ployes politeness is made one of the
essentials.
The reporter was modest because
it was warm day, and therefore did
not ask to see Mr.. Shedd or the great
Jimmie Simpson, but begged speech
with any old superintendent unoc-
cupied.
This request was conveyed to a
youth with quite little hair on his
head, worn La pompadour, and an
air of superiority that would have
made Julius Caesar look like a piker.

perintendent about? There are sew

a job?"

breathed low and fervently, and
outwardly awed by the youths pom
padour- humbly stated that The Day
Book would like to talk to anybody
that could talk with intelligence.
''What do you want to know"
again demanded the pompadour one.
'WeI-Pd rather"
But the remark was not finished.
You'll have to state your business
to me-"
For just a moment the reporter
wondered how long it was since the
pompadour one had been spanked
and if it wasn't near time for his
mother, to do the job again. But
what was the use Of arguing? The
business was stated; the question
asked and answered by the youth.

direct. She didn't get away with it,
and had to retire with feeling that
the pompadoured one was sending
contemptuous glances and would
soon boast of how smart he was.
The next visit was to the Boston
Store, but there is no need to hnger
here, because Mr.. Ellinger is always
gentleman, courteous and kindly
regardless of how many unpleasant
truths The Day Book may print about
the Boston Store.
1t was only the assistant superin-
tendent the reporter tried to see at
The Fair. A seance was going on in
the Office of this person, a Mr.. Jones,
in which a woman who looked like
she might be the wife of a working
man and the mother of children that
would some day have to work, was
demanding the discharge of an eleva-
tor man because he hadn't stopped
at the floor when she called down"
And Mr.. Jones was agreeing with her
that elevator men are discourteous,
and that they had to change theirs
constantly, and that the customers
couldn't be insulted, and that some
thing would be done about it imme-
diately-and then the reporter asked
the question.
Mr.. Jones did not raise his eyes
he just mumbled something about E.
j. Lehman, and turned in his chair.
The reporter had the pleasure of
getting on an elevator beside the one
run by the man who was going to be
disciplined, and Of hearing the COM
planning woman tell him exultantly
that he would never have another
chance to insult another customer by
not stopping at the floor, and that he
was going to lose his job because of
her, etc.

INAUGURATION OF
WOODROW WILSON

guratlOn date which comes to nothing.
1t is said by some Of Washington's
oldest inhabitants that there have been
nice Inauguration days There is even
one myth to the effect that there was
mild and sunshlny 4th of March.
Possibly that was at one of the inau-
gurations Of Grover Cleveland You
can't prove it by me. So far as my
knowledge and belief 60, Inauguration
day weather in Washington usually is
bad.
There have been various measures
introduced In congress to change inau
gura ton day to the end Of April. They
have ranged all the way from simple
bills and resolutions to constitutional
amendments. Whatever their form,
they have all Travelled through the val
ley Of the shadow Of the pigeonhole.
Everybody admits that the change
should be made, but that does not help
the efforts to change 1t. People who
participate in inaugural parades or look
on die and are buried in consequence,
but the deadly date goes on. President
Elect Wilson proposed that he be sworn
in on March 4, but that the public cele-
bratiOn be left till later. Everybody
said it was fine proposal and then
proceeded deliberately to prepare for
the public ceremony on March 4. Can
you beat 1t?
Custom is mighty and shall prevail
President Elect Wilson also suggested
that he wanted simple inaugural.
without so much fuss and feathers
and so many troops. Thereupon the
committees in Washington got togeth-
er, adopted n solemn resolution approx
ing the idea of simple inaugural made
various speeches telling why simplicity
should prevail and then proceeded to
follow precedent and to arrange the
same kind of inaugural that had been
held from time immemorial.

of the inauguration is William Corco-
ran Eustis Of the District of Columbia
and state of Virginia. Eldrldge f.

Leonard Wood now the head of the
army, is grand marshal. There are va
rious subcommittee containing the
names of nearly every man socially
prominent in Washington. If these
committees alone We're to parade they
would require quite some time to pass

honorable committee on the comfort of
visitors, the honorable committee on
legislation, the honorable committee on
decorations. the honorable committee
on this and the honorable committee
on that. All of which teaches us that

Nevertheless it is a great day. The
bands play Hail to the Chief" the
militia of the various states proudly
pound the pavements; the governors
and their stats come forth to dazzle

a secret refrain in the heart Of each
member that sounds suspiciOusly like

struggles to keep his feet as he bows

Speaking Of the Weather.
Our Inaugural ceremonies may be
likened to the tree of liberty bursting
into flower. Some flowery-what. The
only trouble Is that the blossom Is usu-
ally covered by the snow which our
optimistic and promising weather de-
partment hands out each inauguration
day. Professor Willis L. Moore prom

duly made, telegraphed to the ends of

And one man live. another per-
