THE SHORTEST INAUGURAL.
Washington's Second Address Only
1876 Words Long.


The first president was never given
to much speaking His first inaugural
was, however. of average length. This
was delivered in New York at the very
beginning of our national life under
the constitution. and the occasion de-
manded a more extended utterance
than the Father of His Country was
wont to give. The second inaugural.
delivered four years later in Philadel
phia. was more in line with his custom
and was exceedingly brief, only 1855
words long. in fact. 1t is believed to
be the shortest ever delivered by an
elected president. The address follows
in full:
"Fellow Citizens-l am again called
upon by the voice of my country to ex-
ecute the functions Of Its chief magis-
trate. When the occasion proper for
1t shall arrive shall endeavor to ex-
press the high sense l entertain of this
distinguished honor and of the conf
dence which has been reposed in me
by the people Of united America.
previous to the execution of any
official act of the president the consti-
tuition requires an oath of office. This
oath | am now about to take and in
your presence: That if it shall be found
during my administration of the gov
ernment | have in any instance yio-
lated willingly or knowingly the in
functions thereof may ,hesides in,
subject to the upbraidings OF al! who
are now witnesses of the present So,
emn ceremony"

We're united on this point.
One additional embarrassment at
about this time occurred in the death
Of nephew. George A. Washington,
who had been left in charge at Mount

this would "cause my private concerns
to suffer very much"
Nevertheless he accepted In the
election he received every vote Of the

PLANT SOME ALFALFA,
Fall Flowing Is Eest to Put Ground

Fall Flowing Is Eest to Put Ground
in Shape.
This fall is particularly favorable
for making preparation for alfalfa.
There is moisture enough to enable
farmers to plow land well. Fall plow-
ing is best, as that allows the ground
to settle over winter and makes a
firmer seed bed for small seed like
alfalfa. If you can get alfalfa ground
plowed this fall, by all means do so;
if not, you must pack it we'll and do
more work on it after plowing in the
spring.
Harrow or disk the fall plowed
ground as soon as it will work next
spring. then harrow it two or three
times at intervals till you are ready
to seed. Sow six or eight pounds of
seed per acre on unirrigated lands
about May 1 without a nurse crop
Use Northern grown seed. Buy the
seed early and test it out to see how
we'll 1t germinates.-F. S. Cooley.

PUNAHOO AVE.
CONTROVERSY
in new angle

Further trouble in the "Manoa
road controversy has arisen just
when the matter appeared to be def.
.nitely settled. Residents throughout
the length Of Punahou avenue proper
are learning with surprise that the
name of that entire thoroughfare is to
be changed to Manoa road.
This iss shown in the legal adver-
tisement appearing this morning, au.
.thorized by the department OF public
works, correcting the previous error
In remaining the upper Manoa road as
Punahou avenue. According TO the ad.
vertisement today the correction for
the upper Manoa road is made, but 1t
also includes the highway which for
years has been known, both popularity
and ofieially, as Punahou avenue, for
1t describes the change in name as
affecting the thoroughfare "from King
street to the head of the valley" "a
Acting on complaints from residents
along Punahou avenue, The Star-Bulle-
tin today carried the question up to
Governor Frear. incidentally, 1t may
be noted that Governor Frear's home
Is situated on Punahou street proper,
which extends from King street to
Wiider avenue. 5.r-.. .. .a. 3.
The announcement surprised him.
He said he would investigate the sub
Ject. and asked that the attention of
all the other residents along the street
between King and Wilder be called
to 1t. ..l.
Superintendent H. K. Bishop, whose
name is signed to the legal notice, is
not in the city today but employees of
his office said that undoubtedly an er-
ror has been made, but that it is due
to the correspondence on this subject
which took. pace before Bishop took
his present office :
= The previous change of name read
that the highway from King street to
the head of the valley should be
known as Punahou avenue. Now, in
making the correction, another error
is made in changing the name Of the
entire street, instead of merely that
part which extends from Wilder ave
nue. to tie head of the valley.
