Opening the Bible

The President before he enters
on the execution of his Office takes
an oath or affirmation that he will
faithfully execute the Office of
President of the United States and
will, to the best of my ability, pre-
serve, protect and defend the Con.
stitution of the United States, 7"
and this oath is usually sealed or
confirmed by the kissing of the
Bible.
The kissing of the Bible as part
of the inaugural ceremony is per-
haps following very ancient GUS
tom. The Egyptians were re-
quired to kiss the rolls on which
commands of Joseph were written.
The custom requires that inn
mediately after the President-elect
has taken the oath, with hand on
the Bible, the clerk of the United
States Supreme Court shall throw
open the book, and the incoming
chief magistrate shall implant a
kiss on one of its open pages.
Doubling Thomases have always
thought there was no element of
chance in this performance and
that the passage of Scripture is al
ways carefully selected in advance.
and the book is held by the clerk
of the court in position so that
the incoming chief will kiss the
passage that it is intended he shall
kiss. but this is entirely wrong.
James d. Maher, clerk of the
Supreme Court. said that the open
ing of the book is entirely hap
hazard" and that no man on earth
has the slightest intimation in ad-
vance regarding the passage of
Scripture that will be thus brought
into uotice.

would try to convince him that
others would try and crowd him
out of business unless he joined the
movement. If Mr.. Smith obstin-
ately refused to buy stamps ring
of competitors was drawn about
him all armed with the stamps. If
there was a break in this ring a
store was leased, or even purchased,
to fill the gap. These stores were
furnished free with signs and news

ness: circulars were distributed
by solicitors into every house in
the vicinity: in the case of some
neighborhoods trading stamp CON-
certs, moonlight excursions and
theatrical shows were used in the
attempt to concentrate the neigh
borhood retail trade in trading
stamp stores.
Finally the retail merchants
commenced to organized. Some
towns attempted to put into force
local enactments against the Five
Per Centers, as the trading stamp
people were known. Then the
provincial governments took a
hand in the game, but still the
companies continued doing busi-
ness. One stamp magnate was so
sure of his ground that be offered
to charter an ocean liner, fill it
with his own and the Governments
witnesses and sail to England. to
lay the case before the Privy
Council, he to foot the bill if be
lost. His offer, needless to say,
was not accepted. Finally the
provincial legislatures enacted laws
governing the sale of trading
stamps so as to eliminate the OBJ
jectionable features. But for ten
years the stamp people reaped an
enormous harvest.
In the United States, as in Cana
da, the stamp companies at present
doing business confne their opera
tions almost exclusively to small
towns where local retail organiza-
tions are weakly supported or
where there is keen competition.
The big city stores, with only a
few exceptions, will never again
handle the trading stamp. As one
departmental store man remarked:
why should we use them? We
lose five per cent, or the customer
pays that much more for the goods.
The only ones who benefit are the
trading stamp companies"

II Usually the Bible that is used in
administering the oath is bought
J, by the clerk of the Supreme Court
and paid for out of his pocket and
|. is a small Oxford edition costing
J, $40 to Sis. The late James HI.
Mckinney, for many years clerk
af the Supreme Court, once said,
You see, Congress expends mon
ey only by appropriation, and if
we were to wait for Congress to
appropriate the price of the book
we might never get a Bible on
1 s.me."
j There have been exceptions,
however, when the Bible came
from other sources. For instance,
when James A. Garfield was in
auguarated March 4, 1881, he car
ried in his overcoat pocket to the
Capitol we'll worn, leather bound
volume which had been presented
to him by his mother. The book
was taken from the White House
and in a few years found its way
} to the stall of bookseller in San
! Francisco. How it got there has
never been known, nor is it likely
it ever will be. A few years ago
it was offered for sale at very
high price.
i Chester A. Arthur took the oath
of Office just after midnight at his
horne in New York City, Septem-
} ber 20, 1881. The Bible used was
4 one belonging to the then chief
justice of the state of New York.
1t is cherished by the judges fami-
ly as an heirloom.
Il On March 4, 1885. when Grover
Cleveland was inaugurated Presi-
dent for the first time, he, like
Garfield, kissed the Holy Book
which was given to him by his
mother. It was a small volume,
bound in red leather, and was pre-
sented to him many years before.
The book is now in the possession
of Mr.. SCleyeland's married sister
at Toledo, 0. The Bible upon
which he took the oath in 1898,
eight years later when he became
President the second time, was one
presented by his beautiful wife,
and she became its possessor.
When Benjamin Harrison was
made President March 4, 1889, the
Bible used was one that his wife
had given him on the day of their
marriage in Oxford, o., where
President Harrison spent his
school days. The Harrison Bible
| is owned by Mrs. James R. Nc
kee, the daughter of ex President
Harrison.
President Mckinley used a Bible
that had been presented to him by
the negro bishops of the country.
1t was the biggest Bible ever seen
at the clerks office, aud Clerk Nc
i Kinney in relating the incident
said: The day before the inaug-
uration one of the bishops called at
my Office with the Bible. 1t was
huge affair of the type known as
family Bibles. 1t rested in an Or
nate box lined with purple velvet
and ornamented with gold. The
box was fastened by lock and key.
When realized that it would be
my lot to carry that huge Bible
from the Senate chamber clear out
to the front of the Capitol my
knees grew weak and l could not
refrain from asking the bishop
| jokingly where the wheelbarrow
was that should 60 with it. ;"
| The invariable custom is that on
the day following the Inauguration
the clerk of the court takes the
Bible to the White House and pre-
sents it to the first lady of the
land as keepsake. Exchange.
