The Women's Parade.

Regardless of yesterdays display of UNI
checked rowdyism, the parade Of the wom-
en- in this city was of a nature to COM
mand the highest praise. Had 1t been
given scope between the lines allotted
to it by act of Congress it would have
been one of the most impressive spec
tacles ever witnessed in Washing
ton 1t was the result OF care
full planning, thoughtful research, and
self-sacrificing labors on the part
of a great number of women from all
parts of the country. 1t stood for a
definite movement in American afalrs
and it was beautiful in itself and highly
significant in it's character. Had 1t been
given a fair chance it would have made
a high mark for Washington pageants
of all kinds. The cause of woman sur
frage is not injured by the comparative
failure of this parade, due to circum-
stances wholly beyond the control OF Its
projectors and participants. On the con-
trary, the treatment accorded to the
women who marched is certain to
awaken sympathy not only here but
elsewhere and it is to be believed that
today, as result Of yesterdays shame
full performance here, the cause OF
woman suffrage is stronger than ever.

structfon, under private auspices, on pub
lie land. of a hall to serve as memorial
to George Washington and to afford
greatly needed accommodations here for
large public gatherings such as those for
which Washington is famous. With this
building in commission the capital can
house large conventions and it will be
put to many public uses directly in keep
ing with the character of Washington as
the federal city.
A memorial amphitheater at Arlington,
to cost $75OOOO, will greatly add to the
impressiveness of the national cemetery
and accentuate the character of the city
as the seat of government. The amphl-
theater will serve as a gathering place
on occasions of important memorial serv-
ices and also at times when the mel
ancholy duty of interring the great dead
Of the nation is to be performed.
BY voting $4,000 for the preparation of
plans Congress virtually commits the
United States to the construction of the
memorial bridge. 1t is now assured that
ultimately, perhaps in a very few years.
the Potomac will be spanned by an ar
tistic bridge symbolizing the reunion OF
the states, and, in conjunction with the
Lincoln memorial, serving as an impress
sive tribute to the nation-saving work OF
the martyr President. Thus is long
and at times discouragingly futile work
crowned with success. The fight for
the memorial bridge has been often dis
heartening. but thanks to the steadfast
interest and, in these last hours the de-
termined efforts, of the senator's and rep
resentatives from Virginia it has now
been brought to accomplishment. To
them and others who have recognized in
this project vitality significant oppor-
tunity for the evolution here or truly
federal city, representative of all the peo-
pie, heartiest thanks are due in the name
of the American public.

Yesterdays Outrage.

Washington was not wholly responsible
for the outrageous disorder on Penn
sylvania avenue yesterday when the
crowds trespassed upon the line or the
women's march and grossly insulted the
participants in the remarkable suffrage
pageant, for most of the hooligans We're
from out of town. But Washington is, to
its shame, responsible for the complete
failure of the police on that occasion to
perform a task that they have accom-
plished again and again with perfect sue
cess.
1t is not as though the Washington po-
lice were unused to handling crowds and
keeping parade spaces clear. They are
doing it today, with admirable success.
They do it when even circus procession
is marching through the streets. Yester-
day, whether from lack of sympathy with
the objects of the women's march, or
from a shocking failure to realize the
gravity of their responsibility. they were
useless along the greater part of the line
of march.
1t is true that the Washington police
force is inadequate in numbers. and that
simultaneously with the woman's parade
a considerable portion of this inadequate
the reception in Washington Of the Presi-
dent-elect of the United States. But the
smallness of the force available for the
work should have inspired to eXtraordi
narily vigorous effort those to whom the
labor of keeping the Avenue clear was
intrusted.
The line of march yesterday short,
the parade was not an unusually long
one. 1t was. compared with today's I'M
dertaking, small bit of work for the
police. Had every man been given
at the outset to understand that he
would be held accountable for the order
within his own allotted space, and had
the captains been inspired with a determi-
nation to demonstrate that even under
handicaps the Washington force is capa-
BILE of doing it's work well, there ought to
have been no difficulty.

The Inauguration City.

Never has Washington looked more at
tractiye at an Inauguration time than to-
day. In point of decorations and illum-
nations of the streets it is SURPRISING in
its appointments and it cannot fail to Gre
ate a deep impression on all visitors. The
city is ideally equipped to accommodate
the great crowds that assemble on such
an occa sion and has many things to offer
in the way of diversion and objects of in
terest. 1t is in truth the most interesting
city in the United States. and the great
pity is that those who come for this cere-
mony do not stay long enough to see it
thoroughly and to understand it's charac-
ter and to appreciate the remarkable OPP
portunities here afforded for the evolu-
ton of city appealing to the pride of
the American people.

Incoming and Outgoing Presidents.

Washington witnesses today a change

this day of his inauguration the warmest

The Weather.

Incomparably better than the 4th OF
March four years ago. this Inauguration
day is yet by no means ideal. 1t Is not
cold, and for that the most sincere thanks
are to be offered. There is no snow ana
that is a great help for both marchers
and spectators. There is no high wind.
a circumstance which adds to the pleas
ure of the multitude. The overcast skies
may later bring rain, but for the hours
of immunity from this element there is
gratitude. The chances are never good
for a perfect day at this season. On the
contrary, a less clement day than this
is always to be feared, and the compare
tive excellence Of the weather today is
no reason why Congress should further
delay the adoption of the joint resolution
proposing an amendment changing the
date to the last Thursday in April.

Pennsylvania Avenue.

Men have seen you in glorious beauty;
They have seen you in sadness deep,
AS they met at the call of duty
To cheer, or mayhap to weep.
Too little we heed, as we plod along
And our daily tasks pursue,
The men of history, brave and strong,
Who have marched on the Avenue.
We have seen you in joyous splendor:
We have seen you in sable shroud.
And our: tears have been warm anG
tender
In spite of our hearts so proud;
Whatever resentments fierce may burn
AS changes so great We view,
There is God-speed for each who is called
in turn
To march on the Avenue.

President Wilson weighs 179 pounds.
He has escaped the overweight that the
sedentary life of the student often invites
and at the same time has avoided the
underweight that care and responsibility
may cause. This avoidance of extreme
tendencies in his personal career indicates
temperament well adjusted for great
official responsibilities.
