PLANS TO URGE NEW
INAUGURATION DATE
Proposal to Add Governors of
States to the Committee
in Charge.
FORMULATION OF PROGRAM

| "All the present governors should be
secured as members of the national
committee on the change of Inaugural
tion day to advocate the matter in their
| respective states.
| THE press. not only here, but
| throughout the country, which has been
generally favorable to the project,
should be reminded of the argument
| for it.
THE matter should be laid before the
| President of the United States. and his
| favorable recommendation solicited. All
| this should be done before the coming
| of the next Congress. whether it is
called in extra session or not, when
| the resolution changing the day should
be introduced in both houses and press
| ed for action.
Views of Committee Chairman.
These were the recommendations pre-
sented by Henry b. f. Macfarland,
| chairman of the national committee on
change of Inauguration date, at a meet
ing of the committee in his office in the
Evans building yesterday afternoon.
| They We're adopted by the committee,
and steps will be taken Immediately to
| carry them out.
| The meeting was attended by Mr.. Mac
| farland Lieut.. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, S.
| w. Woodward, c. c. Glover, John Joy
Edison, Theodore W. Moves, Edward J.
Stellwagen, w. +. Guide and Robert n.
Harper.
Mr. Macfarland said that in the sixteen
years since the committee was formed
100 different governors of states, repre-
| senting always more than the three
fourths necessary for ratification of con-
stitutional amendment. had, as members
of the national committee, approved the
plan, and he therefore recommended that
the cooperation of the present governors
be obtained in the manner outlined above.

TO SAVE OR NOT TO

ly desire to be a help rather than
a hindrance to their country and
who stand ready to practice a
wise economy if it will avail to
preserve supplies, are a little be-
wiIdered by the clamorous but
contradictory counsels that are

extravaganza is condemned as
wasting resources, on the other
hand retrenchment is condemned
as iniuring trade conditions. No
sooner has a domestic economist
pointed out that indulgence in
| any one luxury can be, and
should be curtailed than the
| purveyors of that luxury rush to
the fore protesting that the
welfare of a number of

it's lavish consumption. A recess

a matter of choice, and never a
matter OF enjoyment. 1t is eth
er necessity to which we will
| reluctantly bow, or a moral OBJ
legation that we recognize, but
do not pretend to relish. 1t Is
also at times a criterion of taste.
Money has been very plentl
fulsin the United States for
the past two years.
Some Of it has been gem
erously given. Much of it has
been lavishly spent. Whef-
ever the spending has been
excessive as In our large cities
the spectacle has been an often
sive one, because we knew that
in distant parts of the world hu.
man beings were dying of want.
The children OF Belgium we are
authoritatively told, have not
for two years eaten according
to their hunger.'' The children
of Poland were more fortunate.
They starved outright, and their
little bodies have long since
crumbled into dust. But the
! United States bought more can
dy last year than in any twelve
months of its history. Food has
been wasted as never before and
we are now facing the possibility
of a world shortage. If we re-
fuse to deny ourselves for the
sake of suffering humanity, we
| had better begin to understand
| that the success of our own arms
and our future safety depend

our resources.

to mock at the women OF wealth

The playing field at the polo grounds
was very so8gy. Rainwater stood in

the weather. big crowd was present
and listened to the band while thew
waited for an announcement of the
fate of the game. The lower stand
which holds about 10000 was cram

the reserved section. had only a. few.
but all tickets for that part had been
sold. The bleachers held crowd but
were far from full.
CHANCE TO CATCH UP.
The. postponement OF today,s game
gives John McGraw chance to catch
up. With four used up pitchers on
his hands, now, 1t will be possible for
him to throw Slim Sallee back into
the fray tomorrow with sufficient rest
to make it certain he will be effective.
His success against the Sox in the
first games makes him the best bet
the Giants possess AT the same time
the rest adds to Clarence Rowland's
hands, for it relieves him of the ne
cessity of starting any pitcher save
the two with whom he has already
maneuvered-CIcotte and Faber.
