When Does the Next Presidents
Term Begin?

Because March 4, 1917. falls on a
Sunday, there has been considerable
speculation as to the beginning Of the
term Of the President who shall be
elected by the electors of President
and Vice-President chosen In Novem-
Der. Some persons believe that as it
Is not customary to hold the inaugu-
ration ceremonies on a Sunday, the
Secretary Of State, assuming him to
possess the constitutional qualiica-
lions. will be President under the act
Of succession until Monday but this
will not necessarily be the case.
Since the foundation Of the Govern
ment March 4 has fallen on Sunday
In three years which witnessed the
induction of a President into Office.
In 1921 JAMES MONROE postponed his
swearing in until Monday, March 8;
In 1S49 ZACHARY TAYLOR followed his
example; but in 1877 RUTHERFORD Il.
HAYES adopted a different course. Be-
aus Of the peculiar conditions sur
rounding his attainment Of the Office,
Mr.. HAYES and his friends feared
there might he a demonstration In
opposition to him, and even that dis
order and i%nsurrection might occur.
Consequently they decided to take no
chances, and Mr.. HAYES took the oath
Of Office nj 7 :O5 o'clock In the evening
Of March 3. Thus. when GRANTS
term expired his successor had al
ready qualified, and was ready to
perform the duties OF the Office. The
course followed by Mr.. HAYES is
open to no objection as to Its legality;
there Is no provision of the Constitu-
ton or the statutes which says that
the man about to enter the Presiden-
rial Office shall be sworn In on March
4, or at any particular place. The
Constitution says:
1.-THE executive Power shall he vested
in a President OF the United States OF
America, He shall hold his once during
tho Term Of four Years. and. together
with the Vice-Prseident. chosen for the
same Term. be elected. as follows: .
Before he enter on the Execution of
his ONCE. he shall take tho following
Oath or Affirmation -
1t may suit the convenience Of the
gentleman chosen to be the next
President not to take the oath Of
office until March 3. On the other
hand, he may take It on March / II
he sees lit. Whichever curse he
adopts, the expiration Of Mr.. WILL
SONS term would be the beginning of
his successors. Even should he defer
his swearing In. how shall we construe
the language Of the Constitution. "Bs-

We count II nm interesting and COM
forting thing that a man capable Of
keeping his mouth shut has been hon.
Ored by the nomination OF a great

proves that constant gabble is not
essential to impress on the voters the

and diligently performing his duty.
Sometimes 1t has seemed rs II the
only persons who stood Il chance Of
obtaining recognition In politics were
those whose tongues were constantly
In motion, whose opinions were is
sued In an unending stream, and who
had neve learned to say no to an

We congratulate Mr.. HuGHEs on
his capacity for r%eticence: and we
felicitate the Republican party on

MIGHTY SHAKESPEARE.
Only by Degrees Does the Sweep Of
His Genius Become Apparent.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir. The
celebration of the Shskespearian ter
centenary, with rs p~ageants, maspues
and films, has supplied the dcvotees ot
the bard with an abundance OF spccnla-
tive material.
1hc mos, striking aspect " these
forms OF dramatic entertainment Is that
they have all been staged in the open.
Il would I've a mistake To credit this 20
the ever present desire of the public for
novelty ard innovation. Rather is II
q tribute to the Genius OF the master
dramatist.
There are no limitations to his scenic
anVas Neither time, numbers nor space
hampered his dramatic conceptions. His
play are rcp,,te with scenic dcsigna-
tons. su0h as "a Street "A Garden
The Field of Battle" "a Forest" His
ensembles are handled with the same
!!berallty. Lords, ladies. officers. sol
diers, citizens. messengers and attend
ants All the world was his stage.
our modern managers have always
reco.led from the scenic problem in pro-
dlcing a Shakcspearian play, for tho
reason that they are shacklcd by the
convcntiunalities OF time and place. "A
chanS. of time being equal to a like
change of place. This is one of the
reasons why we sometimes fail to he
como enthusiastic over our best sellers"
after they have been carved into care
fully measured acts, The wonder is
that Shakespeare has ever been shoe
horned into the modern playhouse.
The terrentenary festivals have shown
us one thing. and that is that the great
Shakespeare m" into his own u IN
the open. and for this reason. II for no
other, the "himcd Shakespeare will pre-
vail, lie never knew it, but he wrote
for the motion pictures.
There are several "intellectual bumps
coming to the Shakespearian student
who worships in text only likeWise
to him who has burned incense before
the spoken word. Upon their introduc-
ton to the pictured Shakespeare they
will discover that tho text bears the
same relation to action that the husk
does to the ripcned corn. II falls away
IN due season and reveals a golden har-
vest,
1t makes one uncomfortable 10 note
how commonplace some OF the time
honored quotations seem when matched
with the dramatic incidents which called
them into being.
At some time or other We have all
taken shelter behind the weak apology +:
II can remember faces but not Names
implying that pictures register stronger
than words. and the loss Of voice IN the
films will be compensated for BY tho
ease with which the gallery gods can
watch the play Of emotions as they cbh
and flow across the faces of the thes-
plans, Shakespeare himself has attestci
to this fact in the lines he wrote for
Duncan. King OF Scotland
There's no art to find tho mind's ron.
struction In tho face.

An Open Letter to the Society Of the Old
Defenders Of the War Of 1912.

Congress recently appropriated $4,000
for the erection OF a monument ito the
memory OF Francis Scott Key, author
of The Star Spangled Banner and the
soldiers and sailors who participated in
the battle of North Point and the attack
on Fort McHenry."
An exhibit OF thirty-four models OF
design for this monument is now on eN-
hibition at the National Museum OF wash
ington. Il. G. The awards have been made.
n ls plainly apparent that the Jury Of
awards did not comprehend tho serious
duty imposed upon It. for 1t approached the
task without reverence and without vision.
Tho accepted design Is a ption
of the spirit, and intention OF Congress. for
1t Is void Of the patriotic feeling which
this monument should express and per-
petuatc.
The main featur. OF the design Is a huge.
nude, muscular figure, such as would sde-
quately portray the dignity and power Of
labor. suitable for an Industrial exposition.
but In no way does It represent the spiri,
OF poetry or song. though tho scu ptor has
placed a Tyre In the hands made to WELD
a shovel.
The law distinctly demands recognition
for the soldiers and sailor. but except for
tho lnsignincant emblcms placed on two
small pedlinents these arms OF the service
are treated so indir-rently as to be with
out any appreciation OF the heroic service

Oath or Affirmation? Would 1t be

The Congress Of the Confederation
on September 10, 1883, fixed the first
Wednesday Of March, 1850, AS "the
time for commencing, pro-
ceeding under the said lpresentl Con-
stitution." WASHINGTON was chosen
President by the electors Of President
and Vice. President in their several
States on the first Wednesday In Feb
ruary. but he did not take the oath
until April 80. Who was President
from March 4. 1850, to April 80? II
WASHINGTON was not, the country
had none. We prefer to believe that
he was the President. but. by reason
Of his failure to take the oath, was
not qualified to perform the duties Of
the Office.

They dug his grave by lantern light.
A nameless German boy.
A remnant from that hurried Eight,
Lost. wounded. left In hapless plight
For carrion to destroy.
They thought him dead az nrst until
They felt the hearts slow beat:
So calm he lay, serene and still.
1t seemed a butchery to Kill
An innocent so sweet.
A movement Of his lips, maybe
To call his mother there.
A tear. n smile OF victory
Then easeful death proclaimed him free,
Free from a tyrant's care.
Somewhere "a mother droops and sighs
For tidings long delayed.
Somewhere a sister mourns and cries
For him who in that cold grave lies.
