Jeffersonian Simplicity.
a dispatch from New York has the
following IN the sentimcn, existing for
simplicity in inaugural affairs. The
new governor Of Michigan says the
dress suit he was obliged to wear at
his Inauguration this week was the
first he had ever donned.
The new governor of New York vio-
lated all recent traditions at Albany
BY his manner Of dress and his out
spoken democracy at the inaugural.
The govcrl,or-elcct of Ohio insists
there shall h" nothing unduly elabo.
rate and nothing exclusive ut his in
duction to office.
Even the ncxt President has let IL
he known that the less elaborate pa
a%uguration the better satisfied he will
be.
Simplicity is in the air. Public sen.
ttmcnt Is beginning to revolt against
unnecessary trappings Of office
against gaudy exhibitions. against dis.
plays suggestive Of foreign corOnations
and the extravaganza OF royalty.
No very important benefit will como
OF this new attitude. however. unless
the reform goes far deeper than tho
mere elimination Of undemocratic fea.
lures at inauguration time. The de.
sire for simplicity must he translated
