timated that if we'll done it would
certainly be worth any amount which
might be spent upon it.

NATIONS CAPITAL
SCENE OF BEAUTY

Washington, ID. G. March 4. Aerial
fireworks, with the sweeping, wide
flung rays Of many searchlights reveal
ing the outlines Of the white dome OF
the capitol and other historic buildings
made Washington q scene OF beauty
and brilliancy in the closing Inaugural
ton festivities tonight.
Never. it is said, has 80 brilliant a
display Of fireworks or an illumination
Of such magnitude been attempted.
Large searchlights threw their rays
along the avenues and on public build
ings, while at the monument grounds
the crashing of thousands of aerial
bombs and the flaming lightfrom large
set pieces illuminating the sky. But 1t
was not alone riot of bombs and flash
lights. The entire display was signi-
ficant of the arrival Of the new execu-
tives, with set pieces showing the pres
ident and vice president and many de-
signs of 'sWilson" and Marshall.
The illumination Of the city began
shortly after sunset. At once every
part of Pennsylvania avenue, from
the capitol to Washington circle, was
ablaze with light. Peace monument
stood out In bold relief, and the ave-
nue. from end to end was transformed
into fairyland Of light by hundreds
Of incandescent lamps spanning the
street in graceful arches.

the bank guaranty law introduced by
Morgan in the senate, which has the
backing Of the democratic organiza-
ton. After the defeat Of the house
bill the senate proceeded to put the
senate bank guaranty law out of COM
mission and showed the bill under by
two to one vote.
The move to take away from the
people the right to elect the railroad
commissioners and give the COVER
nor the power to appoint these Off
Gals is not quite in harmony with the
bull moose proposal to trust every
thing to the people. The theory back
of the pending bill is that the COVER
nor can pick out better men than the
people win elect. This may be true,
but it does not harmonic with the
contention that the people are so all
fred wise that they are even qualified
to turn down the decisions of the
courts. A bill authorizing the SUI
preme court to appoint our governor
would tend to send the present in
cumbent to the clouds.

parade and celebration the day before

The'ladies received tremendous ova-

audience as the President himself. The
latter was attended by more soldiers,
but the ladies made up = program more
original and therefore attracting a great
deal of interest and, indeed. applause.
What impression the demonstration
made on Congress is somewhat doubt
full, but on the public at large it was
