By EDWARD 3. CLARK.

Washington, March A. Woodrow
Wilson, as ex-president of Princeton,
rode down Pennsylvania avenue to-
day, and later rode up the same ave
nue. as president Of the United States,
and as the highest officer of govern
ment a few minutes thereafter re-
viewed the multitudes of soldiers and
civilians which, with playing bands
and flying flags, marched by to give
him proper official and personal honor.
For several nights Pennsylvania ave-
nue. has been glory Of light. Today
it was glory of color, movement and
music. here are 100000 inhabitants
Of the city of Washington. Its tenn
porary population is nearer the half
million mark. The absentees from the
banking lines of the parade were most
ly the policemen, who were given or
ders to protect the temporarily vacat-
ed residences of the capital.
Woodrow Wilson asked that "Jeffer-
sonian simplicity" be observed in all
things which had to do with his in
auguration. The command for Jeffer-
sonian simplicity seems to be suscep-
tible to elastic construction. There
was nothing savoring of courts or roy
atty, but there was evidence in plenty
that the American people love uni
forms and all kinds of display which
can find a place within the limits Of
democratic definition. 1t was a gooC
parade and great occasion generally
Throngs vociferous With Joy.
The inhibition of the inaugural bal
and of the planned public reception a
the capitol had no effect as bar tt
the attendance at this ceremony o
changing presidents. Masses were her,
to see, and other masses were here t

stration while the procession was pass

America rode in this division. Their
pink coats and their high hats ap
parently were not thought to jar
"Jeffersonian simplicity from its
seat. Pink coats were worn on the
hunting field in Jefferson's day and in
Jefferson's state.
There we're 1000 Princeton students
in the civic section of the parade
Many of them wore orange and black
sweaters and they were somewhat
noisy though perfectly proper. Stu
dents from seventeen other colleges
and universities were among the
marchers.
Spectators Cheer Constantly.
All along Pennsylvania avenue, from
the capitol to a point four block be
yond the White House, the spectators
were massed in lines ten deep. The
cheering was constant and Woodrow
Wilson cannot complain that the cere-
monies attending his induction into
office were not accompanied by ap
parentiy heartfelt acclaim of the peo-
pie over whom he is to rule for at
least four years.
Every window in every building on
Pennsylvania avenue which is not oc.
cupied for Office purposes was rented
weeks ago for a good round sum OF
money. Every room overlooking the
marching parade was taken by as
many spectators as cound find want
age point from which TO peer through
the window panes. The roofs of the
/ buildings were covered with persons
willing to stand for hours in March
day to see the wonders of the inaugu
raj parade, and many of them partic
ularly glad of an opportunity to &c
home and to say that after many year:
waiting they had seen a Democratic
! president inaugurated.
The parade passed the reviewing
stand of President Wilson. who stood

sion found expression in steady and
abundantly noisy acclaim.
President Taft and President-elect
Wilson were escorted down the ave
nue. by the National Guard troop of
cavalry Of Essex county, New Jersey.
The carriage in which rode Vice
President-elect Marshall and Presi-
dent pro tempore Bacon of the United
States senate was surrounded by the
members of the Black Horse troop of
the Culver Military academy of Indi-
ana. This is the first time in the his
tory of inaugural ceremonies that a
guard of honor has escorted vice
president to the scene of his oath tax

Parade Monster Affair.
The military and the civil parade, a
huge affair which stretched its
length for miles along the Washington
streets, formed on the avenues radiat-
ing from the capitol. After President

thence shortly to the reviewing stand
in the park at the mansions front.
The parade, with Mai. Gen. Leonard
Wood, United States army, as its
grand marshal. started from the CAPT
toll grounds to move along the avenue
to the White House, where it was to
pass in review. The trumpeter sound

signal was flashed from the White
house that in fifteen minutes the new
ly elected president and commander
in-chief of the armies and navies OF
the United States would be ready tC

II was thought that the parade might
lack some of the picturesque features
which particularly appealed to the
people on former occasions. There
were Indians and rough riders here
not only when Roosevelt was inaugu
rated, but when he went out of ofict
and was succeeded by William H
Taft. The parade. however, in honor
of Mr.. Wilson seemed to be pictur
esque enough in its features to appea
to the multitudes. They certainl!
made noise enough over it.

mony was completed Woodrow Wilson
delivered his inaugural address, his
first speech to his fellow countrymen
in the capacity of their chief execu-
tive.
At the conclusion of the speech the
bands played once more. and William
Howard Taft, now ex-president of the
United States, entered a carriage with
the new president and, reversing the
order of an hour before, sat on the
left hand side of the carriage, while

good American citizens watching a
governmental change ordered in &C
cordance with the law and the Con
stitution
The Bible which during each sue
cessive four years is kept as one of
the treasures of the Supreme court,
was the immediate instrument of the
oath taking of Woodrow Wilson. Ed
ward Douglass White, chief justice of
the United States, held the Book for
Mr.. Wilson to rest his hands upon
while he made solemn covenant to
support the Constitution and the laws
of the United States, and to fulfill the
duties of his Office as well and as
faithfully as it lay within his power
to do.
Thomas Riley Marshall swore feal-
ty to the Constitution and to the
people in the senate chamber, where
for four years it will be his duty to
preside over the deliberations of the
members of the upper house of con-
gress.
Ceremonies Simple and Impressive.
Both of the ceremonies proper were
conducted in a severely simple but
most impressive manner. The sur
roundings of the scene of the presi-
dents induction into Office, however,
gAwere not so simple, for it was an out
of-door event and the great gathering
of military, naval and uniformed civil
organizations gave much more than a
touch of splendor to the scene.
In the senate chamber, where the
the oath was taken by the man now
vice-president of the United States
there were gathered about 1900
people, all that the upper house will
contain without the risk of danger
because of the rush and press of the
multitudes. 1t is probable that no
where else in the United States al
any time are there gathered an equal
number of men and women whose
names are so widely known. The

later on the east portico of the CAPT
toll was composed largely of those

Regulars In First Division.
The regulars Of the country's two
armed service naturally had the right
Of way. Mai Gen. w. w. Wother-
spoon, United States army, was in
command OF the first division, in
which marched the soldiers and sailors
and marines from the posts and the
navy yards within a days ride Of
Washington. The West Point cadets
and the midshipmen from the naval
academy at Annapolis, competent be-
yond other corps in manual and in
evolution, the future generals and ad-
mirals OF the army, had place in the
| first division.
All branches Of the army service
were represented in the body Of regu-
lars-engineers, artillery, cavalry, in
fantry and signal corps. The sailors
and marines from half dozen battle
ships rolled along smartly in the wake
OF their landsmen brethren.
The National Guard division follow

commanded by Brig. Gen. Albert l..

Veterans and Civilians.
The third division Of the parade was
composed of Grand Army of the Re
public veterans, members of the Union
Veteran league and of the Spanish
war organizations. Gen. James E
Stuart of Chicago, veteran of bott
the Civil and the Spanish wars, was
in command.

UNTENABLE CHARGES.

The committee appointed at the last session of
the legislature to investigate the Office holders. ed
ucatonaI and eleemosynary institutions Of the state
having found little real graft. has brought apoch-
ryphal and wholly untenable charges against the
heads of some of the educational institutions of
Mississippi, and any one at all familiar with the
political situations in this commonwealth can read
lily discern that these charges are inspired by pure
ly selfish motives.
Among the prominent educators of the State
whom the investigators. by nuendo if not in d.
rect manner. charge with graft is Hon. A. A. Kin
cannon chancellor of the ate University at Ok
ford. The sum and substance of the charge against
Chancellor Kincannon. after being relieved of its
technical verbage is that in addition to his salary
he accepted remuneration for acting as director of
a summer normal held at the university.
There is well recognized aphorism to the eff
feet that the aborer is worthy of his hire" and
to accept additional compensation for extra work
performed seems to be all that DR.. Kincannon did.
When printer, machinist or railway conduct
or works overtime he receives additional pay for
his services and If an educator is forced to labor
ten or twelve months instead of the nine months
usually allotted to the scholastic year Of univer
sity or college we see nl reason why he should not
receive additional compensation just as we'll as the
man who works with Drawn instead of brain.
DR.. Kincannon was for a number of years
president of the Industrial Institute and College in
this city. and the people of Columbus know him far
to well to believe for one instant that he would
stoop to unscrupuous methods to obtain penny
which he had not honestly earned. He is an hon.
orable high-toned gentleman, and the ACQUISITION
against him is too foolish to be worthy Of serious
consideration.
