HERE'S REASON FOR
NEW INAUGURAL DATE
"Look at the Weather." Says
Texan, Author Of Resolution
for Changing Time.

| While the whirling snow flakes beat
soft tattoo upon the windows of the
| House Rules Committee. Chairman
Robert L. Henry, shivering just a bit.
| recalled that resolution of his to
change the date of the Inauguration
| Of the President.
Lest one forget. the day after to-
morrow will be March 4. Today there
is a sample of inauguration weather
which one has a right to expect early
| in March. When President Taft was
| inaugurated five years ago Washing

| fic was impeded and snow and sleet
held the Capital in it's grip. Practi-
cally the same conditions existing to-
day. except that the wind Is so high
the snow is kept on the move and
cant bank up.
Anyway. Congressman Henry and

date for Inauguration. have Exhibit

Proposal Is Opposed.


Some of the members are strong
ly antagnnistic to any PROPOSE
tion that will involve in any de-
gree suffrage for the people Of the
District
believe that the proposition for
a District delegate has many friends
in the Chamber and that a motion
will Se made 20 reverse the action
nf the committee If IL is adverse.
| have consistently advocated the
District delegate proposal and have
written to the Senate District Com
mittee urging a favorable report 10
the Senate on the Poindexter deie-
gate bill.
I am for a District delegate, be-
cause IL would give justice to all
concerned. The District is like Gn
orphan and is not treated with the
consideration that il deserves as the
seat of the National Capital. This
is so not because Congress does not
want To do better by the District but
because of a lack of thorough Un-
dersta nding.
Members OF Congress need some
one to keep them properly In toucn
with the needs Of the District, as
they do not have the time to de-
vote to the affairs of the local COM
munity here.
There are plenty ot cases on rec
ord where Congressmen actually
have lost their seats because OF the
time they have taken from their
constituents interests to look out
for District matters. 1t has been
necessary for some one to do this.
owing to the lack Of a District dele
gate, and there are few who can
afford to make the sacrifice.
If We had a delegate in Congress
to officially represent our interests,
he would be responsible for attend
ing to local matters in Congress,
and II would be his business to get
matters in their proper shape for
presentation to that body.

today, said:
Dangers Are Apparent.
If anyone In in doubt as to the
strength OF an argument as to why the
fourth Of March should not be held as
the date Of our Inauguration. he has
only to gaze on such weather as we are
having today. The dangers of such
weather are apparent to any citizen who
has any respect Tor health and comfort.
Moreover. what chances have we to
decorate the National Capital on day
such rs this. to make it attractive ii
the citizen who comes from the States
to see his own city on a gala day as
is Inauguration day.
Personally. I feel that L should like
to write to every legislator in Congress
pointing out to him the reasons why We
should prefer the last week in April for
inauguration rather than early March.
"A repetition Of the days when Taft
was inaugurated, when Grant was in
augurated, and the second Inauguration
Of Cleveland, will long be remembered
by Washingtonians and visitors alike"

/" BUY A BALE OF
COTTON /" MOVEMENT

Washington, d. c., September 20
The management of Southern Rail-
way Company is actively encouraging
the Buy Bale of Cotton Movement
throughout the south. President Har-
rison has bought bale in each cotton
producing state traversed by Southern
Railway lines and has addressed the
following letter to the principal Off
GERS of the Southern Railway and al
lied lines, suggesting that they join
the movement:
Il commend to your personal con-
sideration the Buy Bale of Cotton
Movement now active throughout the
south. While this is movement of
sentiment, it is wholesome sentiment
as expressing determination of the
southern people to help themselves in
time of emergency, rather than de-
pend on help from outside or from the
government, federal or state. If this
movement results in marketing 100000
bales at 10 cents a pound, as is be-
lieved to be possible, it will have a
profound effect in encouraging the
small farmers and those who give
them credit to hold for stable price.
"All of us derive our livelihood and
that of our families in some measure
from cotton, and so, apart from any
interest of the company, every one of
us has a personal interest in the cot
ton market.
II have bought bale of cotton in
each of the cotton producing states.
If you feel that you can afford it,
reccomend that you buy at least one
bale for personal account and induce
as many as possible of your friends
to do likewise. 1t will be a safe in
vestment of the money and patriotic
act in vital emergency"
Speaking of the cotton situation to-
day, President Harrison said:
There are, in my opinion, good
reasons for believing that the market
for cotton will improve. While there

What of the moving pictures

The ancient Bible story?
What of the moving pictures
Are they worse than love romance
We often read in the papers,
Or about Salome's dance
For the head of John the Baptist?
Great acts I've often seen
And the life and death of Christ
I'll never forget on the screen.
Alas for the mossback christian
Who wears graveyard face,
Don't believe in progression
But sits in the same old place
In the amen corner and sings
The tune his granddad sung,
And thinks there's nothing equal
To the time when he was young.
Better to get on the band wagon
Keep up with the world as it goes,
Have good laugh at things funny
Forgetting the past with its woes
It's vain to cherish regrettingly
About unavoidable ills,
Go to the circus and laugh
It's better than kidney pills.
And so l went to the circus
And had to unbotton my vest
To save the buttons from flying
AT the funny antics and jest
OF the funny old clowns and tumblers
And actors and riders bold,
Might make the Queen believe
The half had never been told.
Twas a hot time when the Queen
With camels and spicer came
To see King Sol and his temple
His glory and his fame,
But when it comes to parading
The Ringlings are all right
In Johnson City and can beat
Jerusalem out of sight.
The King was gracious to Balkis
And sat her on his throne
The splendbr of his royal court
Has never been outshone;
She was so charmed with his glory
And gorgeous golden reign,
[ cannot help but wonder
She never came back again.
[ saw the skeleton dude man
AS lean as cedar rail
The man who wrote with his toes
The elephant drummed with his tail;
The clowns and anaconondas
Did more stunts than knew,
The whole twelve thousand in the tent
Cheered the program through.
First time went to circus
1t seemed like heaven to me
70 hear the great band of music
And l was so happy and free
from the discards and dregs of life
If could be happy as then
Whenever circus comes around
I'd like to be boy again.
This life is much like a circus
We play our parts in the ring
If course the crowd laughs at us
Same as they do at Ringing;
Everybody laughs at somebody
They laugh at me and you,
.et them laugh and grow fat,
That's what I'm going to do.
