Inauguration Day
BY GEORGE FITCH,
Author OF cat Good Old SiIyasb.'

~HIS Is Inauguration day-the day
on which the new-made president
l. is firmly installed in Office and the
discarded executive is turned loose with
out ceremony, to find some new job with
out a brass band accompaniment.
Inauguration day is regarded with fer
vent Joy by the countless patriots who
have been in the minority for the last 10
years and have at last arrived in sight
of some fat office. 1t Is also the greatest
day in the year for Washington. There
are veterans in Washington who have
fought and bled through the last 10 in
augural balls and many feeble old man
viii tell his grandchildren tonight how
he stormed the punch bowl in the pension
building in the great struggle Of 1876
On Inauguration day the expiring Presi-
dent rides with his successor to the
capitol building and helps him take the
oath Of office. This is not considered to
be as pleasant a job as as walking be
hind the chariot of a Roman conquerer,
neither Is it as healthfuL Often the
parade has to stop until the rotary snow
pillow in front gets the road cleared, and
when the ex-president finishes his task,
he has a plug hat full of snow, and
pneumonia is getting ready to move into
his system. EX-presidents do not usu-
ally live very long, but there should be
some more humane method of fastening
their demise.
On Inauguration day also the ex-
president takes his successor over the
white house, shows him how to work

Here is a girl only II and half who

poor man and the son of a millionaire
are equal in an but the state of their
1atners finances, the son of the poor
man is the man who stands the greater
chance Of amounting TO something.
There may be the burden of work on
his shoulders but that is easier to carry
than the burden of wealth.
Many man is true TO one woman
because of his poverty, and many a
man who has been fidelity itself when
every energy and thought were de-
voted to earning a living, becomes
tickle and foolish when his wealth is
assured.
Women like all that wealth brings
to them save this tendency TO make
their husbands stray. There is many
a woman whose husband has made
millions who would give UP all the
luxury his wealth has brought her if
she could go back to the days Of their
poverty and possess his undivided love.
This girl has learned from the ex-

attention that will be both expensive

china closet, tells him what to do IN
case the kitchen sink clogs up again and
then wishes him well and goes away on

house to his successor is the one solemn

Inauguration day comes four months
after election because in the early times
it took that long to sort out the returns.
Now, however, the worst is usually
known after supper on election day and
the president, who has Just died, poll
tieally, has TO hang around four months
until he is buried-while the man with
a large, uncomfortable hope has to wait
even longer before he can coin it into a
POstOffiee or cabinet position. Both of
these are unnecessary eruelties, and
should be ended. The president ought
to be inaugurated December 4. On the
other hand Washington wants the in
augural day put of until May, when the
climate IS better and higher prices can be
secured for seats in the reviewing stand.
