UNFAIR CRITICISM
OF INAUGURATION.

In an article published i'll yester-
days Washington Post, James +. j..
Archibald, fellow ofthe Royal Geo
graphical Society Of England, and a
war correspondent makes compare
son of the inauguration with that OF
the coronation much to the dlsad-
vantage of the former. lie says:
"The one dominant note of discord
when comparing President Wilson's
inauguration to the coronation OF
King George V is shown in the ,hor-
seq and in the police arrangements,
Of course, our unifroms lack the bril-
liant color and the spectacular finish
of the British, but where our uniform
is we'll worn it is as attractive as any
in the world. Nothing could have been
better than the showing made yester-
day by the Massachusetts, and the
Delaware divisions and the Fourth
regiment of Virginia, CARRIED as they
were in their regulation outfit. The
Richmond Blues, the West Point, An
napolis, Virginia Military Institute,
and Culver hsitJalions were rlagnlfl-
cent in their special uniforms, but
even the regular uniform IS an at
traction in ITSELF The regular troops
looked businesslike, and that Is say
ing all that can be said. But other
wise there was hardly an organization
that would have passed a blind drill
sergeant in England"
II is easy enough to pick flaws in
the parade of Tuesday but the latter
part of Mr.. Archibald's criticism IS
most unjust The militia of the var
ious states are not trained troops like
tho:, 81 England but are volunteers
whose equipment and training large
w depends upon the legislative whlms
of the stale politicians. They are fal
from being up Ito the standard pre-
scrbed by the United States army
regulations, and realized by everyone
who has seen the regulars and Volun
ter side by side.
Mr. Archibald's criticism of thu
horses is equally unjust. He makes the
broad statement that 'the very bes
mount in yesterdays parade would
have difficulty in being accepted as
troopers mount in any cavalry regl
ment in England" This is a sweep
ing statement for any man of ints!i
rencc to make. While it is true tier
were many poor horses in the parade
because the staff of the various Cover
nors. some of the governors them
selves, many of the aides and other
connected with the state organl@a
tions were compelled to hire horse
form the livery stables in Washing
tan, there were many animals in tn
parade in our opinion which woui
compare with the very finest horse
to be found in the English. service
for that matter in any country in II
world.
The most unjust criticism in tn
entire article. was the reference

OLD CHRIST CHURCH. ~

Years untold has old Christ Church
stood guard in her dignity
over the generations. past, through the
nations history,
Born in the glad colonial days, she
clings, like modest maid,
To the by-gone, quaint old-fashionee
style, ancient and prinl and staid,
She stands as our grandsires saw
her stand.
Noble, imposing, majestic, grand
Firm as Gibraltar's Rock she Stood
while the struggling colonies
Wrested their freedom, dearly bought
from British tyrannies,
As a beacon-lght to those who led in
the pitiless, grim, campaign,
She beckoned them back, when their
work was done, to the blessings
OF peace again.
And she saw people little known
As a sovereign nation rlse iull-
grown.
She saw the years Of the civil strife,
When the gray and the Bike en-
gagged,
And she knows some tales Of those
awfu! days which the writers lave
never PACED.
Then she witnessed the terrible days
that came when the victors' cue!
demand
Was paid in the South's red heart
blood torn from a burdenea and
stricken land.
She saw, she knew, she understood,
She forgave the wrong and she
blessed the good.
And the coming years will find Christ
Church, as the years long passed
have found,
4 monument to the days gone by,
standing on hallowed ground,
And our children's children there vii
find joy that's most comp tie,
And the thought Of those who lave
worshipped there will bring q
solace sweet.
All. there she'll be on that Sd ed
sod,
A temple that's pointing the way to
God.
