ABOUT THE INAUGURAL.

Those who are wondering wheth-
er Mr.. Wilson will live up to the JEFF
fersonian standard of simplicity in
his inaugural may spare their pains.
Woodrow Wilson will live up to his
own standards Of simple dignity,
and that is a good enough achieve
ment for any man.
1t is not likely that the new presi-
dent will ride horseback to the CAPT
toll. All Virginians learn to ride in
their youth; but few men keep the
habit through twenty years of Sc
dentary life as teacher, college pro-
lessor, and president of university.
But one may predict with conf
aeaco that Woodrow Wilson will not
turn the inaugural into a combina-
ton of a circus parade and free
show, with the single object of cen
tering attention on himself.
Mr.. Roosevelt got glory by this
plan. In view of what came later,
perhaps Mr.. Roosevelt was wise in
gathering glory while the gathering
was good. But the Journal feels
safe in predicting that Mr.. Wilson s
administration does not need to put
all it's goods in the show window

WILSON TRUSTS THE COMMON
PEOPLE.

President-elect Wilson has demon
strated in his recent utterances that
+ he has an unvarying confidence III
the ability of the people to ADJUST
5 whatever may be wrong in the ad-
ministration of their affairs, and that
he is going to look to them, rather
than to ambitious political leaders,
4 to dictate his conduct so far as pos
sible.
'The task ahead of me- said he,
Y so far as it is making appointments
4 to Office, is wholly hateful, but the
task, 50 far as it is leadership OF the
i United States, is full of everything
that is bright and touched with con-
fidence, because l know that all you
J have to do is to appeal to the people
of the United States on the right
ground and put those who are wrong
out of business.
It would be difficult for the presi-
dent-elect to formulate sentence
that would more pointedly indicate
his determination to be the presl-
dent of the whole people and not OF
4 any class or faction, nor even OF
any party.
There is no longer question tnat
he approves the proclaimed deter
mination of congress to take up at
once at the spring session the work OF
tariff reduction. He believes with
congress that the relief the people
desired when they elected him presl-
dent is to be obtained largely i'll that
way. 49,.
II shall not go slack in this bust
ness" he said, ''fOr l understand my
duty to stand back of the progress
siye forces in the democratic party
everywhere, and at every juncture,
and I feel that in these subjects l
am under particular obligation OF
conscience and gratitude to the
people of New Jersey. The party
has now arrived at a point where 1t

pressive or not, and l cannot sepa-

time taken the people of New Jersey

\ COUNTY ENGINEER.

Is it not about time that Iowa
counties wake up and claim their
own? The state supports fine in
situations at Ames and Iowa City.
where competent civil engineers are
being turned out every year and who
are being corralled by private bust
ness concerns and railways. Mean
while, the respectable counties are
without the benefit of the product
of engineering departments support
ed by the state. Under the propos-
ed highway laws definite and gener-
Gus provision ought to be made for
county engineer to supervise every
public work and to look after not
only new roads but the maintenance
in good condition all the road ways
bridges, culverts, drainage. public
buildings, etc.
II there is any virtue in the old
adage that "a stitch in time saves
nine" county engineer would not
only pay his own salary and ex-
penses, but save something of public
expenditures in every county in
Iowa 1t would seem that good
business would have dictated a pol
icy OF this kind long ago, but we
have to work up to the best methods
of administration by slow process
OF education of public thought and
the ultimate realization Of the bet
ter way This is good year for
Iowa to turn over the traditional
new leaf" and to begin to transact
county business on a strictly bust
ness basis. That is one of the i'm
portant propositions which the
Pawk-Eye hopes to see before the
legislature and some definite results
obtained. -Burlingto Hawk-Eye

THE DEMOCRACY's DUTY NOW.

There is a good deal of interest
just now in Mr.. Wilson's Cabinet
selections and his appointments tt
the important posts in the diplomat
ic field. When the selections are
announced there is bound to be some
disappointment. But it will be loca
and it will be slight. There is nc
pronounced party demand for the
choice of any particular man fol
any particular office. Consequently
the question of who will be given
such place, while interesting, is
not matter of profound or vital
importance. The whole business OF
ality of politics.
The people We're not agitated last
summer about whom Woodrow Will
son would put in his cabinet or
whom he would send to foreign
courts. That was not the issue at all.
The people were then concerned
about Mr.. Wilson's beliefs and prin-
ciples. They wanted to know what
his policies would be; what his re-
commentators would be in the
questions which would confront his
administration; what would be his
influence on legislation: what would
be the character Of his presidency.
Those were the question of the
campaign. He answered them to
the peoples satisfaction. Now the
time draws near for action. That is
the great thing. Few people know
or care that Herrick Of Ohio, after
long waiting finally came into the
reward of the French amba ssador-
ship. but everybody knows that the
republican party failed in its speci-
tic platform pledge when it enacted
the Payne-Aldrich tariff law.
The republican party was not WHIP
ed out of existence because the popu-
larly unknown Wickersham was
made Attorney General or because
the widely known Hitchcock was
named postmaster general. That
party was repudiated because it did
not understand the peoples clear
mandate and had neither the abil-
ity nor inclinat ton to carry it out.
The verdict of last November is
just as sharp and clear command
as was that of 1908. The people ex-
pect the democratic administration
to fill that order. The identity of
the chosen is an unimportant detail
The energy Of all the democratic
leaders should be directed toward
doing the things which the people
are expressly insisting shall be done.

THE POPULAR VOTE

The common belief that the presi-
Dental vote in 1912 was less than
the presidential vote in 1908 is In
correct. According to the ofhcla'
n figures compiled for the World AL
manac the total vote this year was
1t, $685. 69,. as against 14,SSo, ~
four years ago, an increase OF 49,
z27.
But only the socialists profitted
from this large vote. They alone
made gains, and very significant
gains. The, Debs vote in 1908 was
Il 40, 1913; in 1912 it was sOo,672, an
Increase Of more than 100 per cent.
AS for the democrats, Wilson
4 polled a total of 6,293,434. as
against Bryan's total of 6,4O9.1O4 in
1905. a decrease of 1860. Strang-
er still, the total vote cast for Taft
and Roosevelt was less than the to-
tai republican vote in 1908. Tatts
s1912 vote was 3,484,9S0 and Roose-
yelt,s was 4,119,53S. Together they
polled 7,6O4,51s, which falls 1880
i under Tafts total Of 7,67S,9OS four
4 years ago.
Even the prohibitionists suffered
\ from apathy. Their vote in NoVem-
Der was only zO6,275, compared
4 with 253,S40. This loss of 1850
4 is nearly one-fifth Of the 1908 total.
It is a curious fact that with the
exception of New Hampshire all OF
the New England state cast more
] votes in 1912 than IL 1908. The
middle states OF New FORK, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania cast fewer
Votes in 1912 than in 1908. Ohio,
/ Indiana, Illinois,, Wisconsin, Ne
braska and Iowa also took less in
terest in the 1912 campaign than in
the 1908 campaign. The same IS
true of the border states, Kentucky,
Tennessee and Missouri.
There is no uniform rule applying
to the south Alabama, for example
cast more votes than in 1908 and
Georgia cast fewer votes. Texas
showed a large increase and South
Carolina large decrease, while Vlr-
RI einia's slump was exactly 70 votes
and OklahOma's was 839.
The mountain states all showed
an increase. Colorado, Utah, wy
oming, Montana and Idaho cast
/ more votes than they did in 1908.
By reaso of woman's suffrage Cali
fornia's vote should have doubled,
but her 1912 vote was only 673 1921,
a against 3S6,597 in 1908. Appar-
\ emily nearly 100000 qualified citi-
zens Of California remained away
from the polls.
The most significant fact in all
these returns is the increase and dis
4 tribution Of the socialist vote. 1t is
not sectional vote, for the banner
3 socialist states in this election were
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Cali
/ fornia, New York, Oklahoma, Wash
!; fington, Indiana, Wisconsin and Mis-
souri, in the order named, while In
Idaho. more than 10 per cent of the
total vote was socialist. This is
something for democrats and repub-
leans to think about seriously.

they want. Their forces are always

NEVADA BANKING
i ON FIRM BASIS

The annual report of Bank Ex-
aminer Eugene Howell has just
been issued from the State Print
ing Office, and it contains great
deal of information of interest re-
garding tho finances of the bank
ing institutions of the state which
are characterized as being in a
healthy condition. In closing his
report Mr.. Howell says:
cit will be seen that the new
banking law has had it's, effect in
many instances. BY the way of
ILLUSTRATION, 4 overdraftsr amouptig
to $485 ,218-15, which were carried
by the banks'in January, 1911 have
now been reduced to S59,467 .27,
or decrease of $425, 750'8S.
eft is apparent that the present
banking act is a good and strong
one, and actually making itself
felt throughout the State; and had
banking law of this kind for the
banks to live up to, prior TO 1907
the prediction is there would have
been no bank failuers in Nevada.
"Another thing not to be over
looked is, the fact that the state is
getting on a more prosperous basis
and her great resources are being
taken hold IF in a stronger way,
Confidence is being restored, morey
is easier and more of it. in the
banks. as is shown by the fura
going parative bank statement,
which is an index to the situations
as they really exist. Figures
speak louder than words, AS evi
dence by the following facts
Banks are carrying the large
reserve Of IS ITO per cent. Loans
have increased $44, 452.75. Cash
on hands and in banks amounts to
$3,G49 08 $50, showing an increase
of $272, 032,l2. Deposits have
increased $l,O9O,536.6O during
the time, demonstrating that our
present banking system is on a
solid substantial basis"
