farewell to the old.
Congress is already doing its part
toward the inaugural. 1t has completed
its organization of a committee to have
charge of the Capital exercises and the
Senate Sergeant arms is making
ready to build the enormous platform
on the East front. This platform is
little nearer the Senate than 1T is 10
the House and the noise of hammer
and saw on the platform structure is
apt to annoy fussy senator's. Accord
ingly the construction work is delayed
there as long as possible and done as
much as may be when the Senate is
not N session However, the Senate
has been so lazy and dilatory This year
that it must soon be working over
time. holding long daily sessions and
perf0rce, also working into the night
Consequently it is inevitable that some
nervous Senators will nearly go crazy
While carpenters are building the plat
form on the East front.
IT seems foregone conclusion that
there will be m enormous crowd. De-
spite discouraging talk at times (Which
wes largely of local origin and grew
ont of pique because the new President
tabooed the inaugural ball in the PEN
sion offiee) the multitudes are appar-
emily coming. March is at a season Of
the year when it is easier for many
people to come to Washington. Out in

EMBARGO ON POTATOES
WOULD INCREASE PRICE

Washington. u. G.. Dec. 1S.-Seore-
tary Houston conducted a hearing at
The offices of the department of agri-
culture today on the subject of the
proposed embargo on all foreign pota-
toes commencing January l next. Such
an embargo is in effect at present
against the British isles. Germany,
Austria Hungary, Newfoundland and
the islands of Pierre and Miquelon 1t
is now proposed To extend the embar-
20 To all other foreign countries. the
proposal being based ON the belief that
a general quarantine is necessary in
order To prevent the introduction into
the United States of the powdery scab
and other diseases which would SER
iously AFFECT the potato production Of
the United States.
Many Opinions Expressed.
\ wide variety OF opinions on the
quarantine were expressed by the rep
rcsentative American potato growers,
potato importers and bureau inspect
ors who attended the hearing. The
majority of the importers were of the
opinion thaC a ban on all foreign po-
tatocs was unnecessary and that the
situation could he met satisfactorily
10y introducing system of inspection
either at tho receiving or the shipping
point. \ suggestion also was offered
that the danger would be greatly les
scncd if American growers and ship
pcrs were prohibited from using see
und- hand bags which had previously
contained shipments of potatoes from
abroad. The powdcry scab, which is
the chief disease threatening this
country, is said To be scattered easily
through the use of second hand bags
ana quickly reaches all sections of the
country.
one of the most interesting points
brought out at the hearing was the
fact that should all foreign potatoes
be prohibited including those of Cam
ada, the price of American potatoes
would probably increase fully 80 per
cent within two weeks
