BY EDWARD 3. CLARK.

Washington, March o. Woodrow
Wilson has been inaugurated president
Of the United States for the second
time, and Thomas R. Marshall has
come into his own as vice president of
the United States for the second time
In company with the chief executive.
For several nights prior to the in
auguratiOn, Washington was a food of
light. Thousands of American citizens
came to the capital of their nation
from all over the United States to wit
ness the ceremonies attending the in
auguratiOn. The situation of the coun-
try in reference to its foreign relations
added more than a touch of serious
ness and distinct flavor of patriotism
to the entire proceedings. Washington
is a city of flags at all times, but it
became ten times a city Of flags one
day before the ceremonies of inaugu-
ration.
drove from the White
House to the capitol with his wife at his
side. In the carriage with him were
two members of the congressional COM
mittee which had general charge of
the ceremonies, and of which Senator
Overman Of North Carolina is chair
man.
Vice President Marshall, with Mrs.
Marshall in the carriage with him, was
escorted in like manner to the capitol.
Big Crowds, Many Flags.
From an early hour the sidewalks
were crowded with persons waiting to
see the president and "the first lady
Of the land" pass along the avenue to
the place of the Oath-taking. All the
windows commanding a view of Penn
sylvania avenue also were crowded
with onlOOkers. The red, white and
blue was everywhere in evidence. The
only foreign flags to be seen in Wash
tngtOn We're those flying from the flag
poles of the foreign embassies and
legations which, even though they are
located in the city of Washington, are
recognized as being foreign territory.
p Vice President Marshall was resworn
into office before the Inauguration Of
the president. The exercises took place
In the senate chamber. The legisla-
tive day of March 8. so far as the SEN
ate was concerned, had been continued
by recesses until the hour of II noon
of the calendar day March 5.
The president pro tempore of the
senate presided at the ceremonies pre-
ceding the administering of the oath to
the vice president-elect. The president
of the United States, the members of
the cabinet, the foreign ambassadors
and other notable guests occupied seats

According to the figuring Of the
New York tax department in its 1917

the most valuable single property in
the city. Its value is reckoned at $21,-

for another year with the good wishes
that they will give Smyrna some pro-
gress in the line of permanent street
for Commerce street, macsdam streets

of possibility for Town Coun,il to do
these things and keep up the general
running order of the town on the pres.
'ent tax rate. Day current with a line
run to Clayton might prove a good
investment. What if new machinery

When all were assembled Chief JUS

open Bible upon which the hands of
many former presidents have rested,

ministered to him this oath, which is
imposed by the Constitution of the

"You do solemnly swear that you

The Senate of the United States is
the only legislative body in the world
which cannot act when its majority is
ready for action. A little group OF
willful men, representing no opinion
but their own, have rendered the great

The remedy? There is but one rem.
edy. The only remedy is that the rules
Of the Senate shall be so altered that

the Senate can be relied on to supply
the means of action and save the coun-
