Not Too Late Yet.

No more forcible argument in be-
half of change in the date for the
inaugural could be found than in the
indisposition of the President, as a
result of exposing himself to the ele-
ments on March 5. That scores of
other men prominent in the public
eye, to say nothing of the hundreds
of men, women and children, have
suffered as a result of holding the
ceremonies on cold, raw day, is in
itself a potent brief, but fails to
carry the same weight and attract
the general attention the illness OF
the President has done.
In commenting upon Mr.. Wilson's
cold, the New York Sun advocates
doing away with the inaugural cere-
monies entirely, but this step is too
revolutionary and most certainly
would cause an upheaval if attempt.

advanced in favor of abandoning the

air an address which nobody
could hear. and caught cold
which now keeps him abed.
Forty years have passed since
the uselessness of the inaugura-
tion ceremonies outdoors was as
completely shown up as it was
this year. Mr.. Wilson had it m
his power to put an end to the
dangerous custom. 1t is unfortu-
nate that he did not prevent the
doings of March S, and let his
second term proceed in the ap-
propriate atmosphere of quiet dig
nifty that marked its actual COM
mencement. His example might
have led his successor to veto a
migration of job hunters that
marks the assumption of the Pres
ident's office by new man, and
thus brought the abandonment of
midwinter exercises that do no
good and expose numerous more
or less valuable officials to the
inclemency of a season notori-
ously unsuitable for formal out
door exercises.
If a special season or day must
be set aside especially for the
exhibition of the President to great
crowds of sightseers, it would be
feasible to hold a national Fourth
of July celebration at the Capt.
tol, and put the Chief Magistrate
up as the principal attraction. Yet
it ought to be possible to run the
government without imposing
such an extralegal obligation on a
hard worked functionary.

Interesting Chats
From Hotel Lobbies

Woman suffrage existed in the
Delaware Indian tribe" said Richard I,
Adams author and ranch owner OF In
dian Territory at the New Eobltt Hotel
Yesterday Mr.. Adams can claim to pc
hereditary chief of the Delawares, though
intermarriage of his forbears with Euro
pean pioneers leaves no suggestion Of
Indian in his name.
THE squaws of our tribe-organlzeo
for political purposes in the tribal life
as The Council Of Mothers'-cast their
vote on the most important questions or
tribal welfare and were always depend
ed on to the fullest in decisions during
crises.
The woman's vote predominated in
the adoption Of strangers. 1t was the
woman's vote that decided the clans or
class of each individual. Their vote de-
cided whether there should be war or
peace. The Council Of Mothers, while
the last to decide. held practically the
balance of power in many things.
"Of course the warriors. hunters, medi-
cine men and chiefs had their say and
all the fighting to uphold the honor and
existence of the tribe.
But even in these great issues the
women were always ready when the war
whoop called on them to fight, to secure
their poisoned arrows and immense
bows and fire on the enemy II indica-
tions were that the foe was to defeat
their men,"
Harry Bailey, of Jacksonville, Fla,
was a visitor al the Ebbitt yesterday and
talked to a Herald reporter about his
State.
There has been a lot OF criticism of
Ocala. Mariana and Fernandina getting
large appropriation for public build
ings," said Mr.. Bailey. but most North
ern people don't understand that the
South has scarcely gotten anything dur
ing Republican administrations. 1t is
quite true that we have been getting
some fine Federal buildings in our Flor
ida towns, but the West and North have
been getting them for fifty years or more.
So long as appropriations are served out
that way the South may as well get its
share.
FLORIDA has had rather light tourist
travel this spring. and 1t has not been
one Of our best seasons. Palm Beach is
we'll filled, but the people who go to Palm
Beach are quite able to go anywhere at
anytime The places where the moder-
ately rich go have just been partly filled
I'D. Jacksonville has had a rather good
season and business has been good there.
The frosts have greatly injured some OF
the fruit crops, but we have hopes of
having a fair crop this year.
"There has been quite a lot OF talk of
the legislature voting the State dry.
but we are afraid that if the State goes
dry that We will lose lot of the tourist
trade"
