PRESIDENT WILSON'S
INAUGURAL ADDRESS.

The inaugural address Of President
Woodrow Wilson at the east front OF
the Capitol yesterday was listened TO
by the largest concourse OF people
ever gathered on any similar occasion
in the history of the nation. People
from every section of the country
gathered beneath the shadow of the
Goddess of Liberty and listened with
close attention to the carefully pre-
pared words of the newly elected
- President who voiced the great prn-
ciples of the platform of party, long
in the minority but in the right, upon
which the banners Of victory are no"
floating.
The address throughout abounded
in practical suggestions, con-
corning the program Of the new adj
ministration No sectional issues
were threshed out, but the simple task
of governing the entire country for the
good Of the greatest number was the
purpose of the executive.
Mr.. Wilson referred to the prodi-
pality of the more fortunate in this
countrywhose conduct too often savors
of abuse of the blessings OF heaven,
and to the hard lines of those who toll
and spin, and who are the real motive
power of our great republic.
He waved ma flaming sword
at the former class nor made rash
promises to the patient and toof often
urappreciated toilers of the world. lie
used his words advisedly, and mani
tested his purpose to labor towards
bringing about more satisfactory
conditions to all, and bring smiles
of contentment to the homes of ths
rich and the poor alike.
Mr.. Wilson'S real suggestions can be
printed in small space. They are,
however, to the point:
eve have itemized with some
degree of particularly the
things that ought to be alter
ed and here are some Of the
chief items: A tariff which
cuts off from our proper part
in the commerce of the world
violates the just principles Of
taxation, and makes the gov.
ernment a facile instrument
in the hands OF private in
forests; banking and cur
rency system hasec upon the
necessity of the government
to sell its bonds fifty years
ago and perfectly adapted to

Photo Players Run Risks of
Which Public Is Unaware in
Getting Action.

THAT the photo player leads ar
eventful life is not to be denied
i as a talk with any one Of them
will testify. They must submit
10 all sorts of risks in order to satisfy
the demand of the public for plays con-
tanning thrills" Although many people
think that dummy is substituted at
the very last minute, at the crisis of
the play as 1t were. one must realize
that 1t requires just as much nerve and
sometimes more, to work up to .he
crisis and then stop. as 1T does to go
on through with the hair raiser"
Again, sometimes there Is no dummy
and the actor goes through with his
business almost in the face of the i'm
possible, and many times with d.sas-
trous results. Not long ago, In Paris,
film was being made on the banks
Of the Seine which required that one Of
the performers fall into the river, ap-
pear to be drowning and call frantically
for help. The actor chosen for this part
was a well known acrobat, Otreps At
the appointed time he jumped into the

so realistic a manner that the crowd
