of the development Of Washington. He
viii find, despite any preconeeived
ideas which he may have to the con-
trary. that the District people have nc
undue favors to ask at his hands; that
they have patriotic pride in the
growth and beauti6cation of the city;
that they bear the burden Of taxation
without complaint; and that they re-
spond loyalty and generously to the
numerous demands made upon them
by reason of the fact that they are
residents of the Capital.
In very personal sense, therefore,
the Inauguration next Tuesday means
much to this city. If President Wilson
will utter the keynote of heIpfulness
and recognition there will be no check
to the steady development of the Capt.
tai City,.
Whatever else may be said, there is
no doubt that President Taft leaves
the White House with the nation big
ger and better than when he took the
oath of Office. New States have been
added to the Union, domestic COM
merce has grown tremendously, for
eign trade has expanded, social re-
forms have been accomplished.
1t is a splendid legacy to which
President Wilson has fallen heir. On
next Tuesday he will become the trus-
tee of the people, and it will be his
duty so to administer his trust that,
four years hence, he can point to still
further advancement in our moral and
material welfare. There is, of course,
a deep political significance in the
change of administration which his in
coming typihes. He will, however, be
a truly great President if he subordi-
mates petty politics and mere partisan
advantages to the higher and greater
considerations of progress in every
phase of our national life.

In the olden days a change in party
administration meant an upheaval in
Washington. For months before an in
auguration there was universal anxiety
in the departments and stagnation in
business. Now, under the benefcent
operation of the civil service law, there
is comparatively little change in the
personnel of the government service.
The great bulk of the department en-
ployes remain undisturbed at their
desks
While the incoming of Democratic
President is thus minimized from the
political point of view, it does mean
much as to the future of the National

their incumbency of the Presidential
