More Bad Inauguration Weather.

Washington has no apologies to offer
for the inauguration day weather. 1t
sincerely deplores the cold rain that
has marred the coming of the guests
and the gray skies and damp, chill air
that make today SO disagreeable for the
multitude assembled to see the Presi-
dent take the oath of Office But for
this Washington does not hold itself
in any degree accountable. 1t has tried
for years to have the date of this cere-
monial changed, realizing the risks that
are run each four years whenever the
American people gather for the most
important function in the national cal
endar. 1t has appealed to Congress and
to the states. 1t has hoped for a great
popular demand to persuade the legis-
lature to adopt the necessary constitu-
tional amendment. But in vain. Once
the measure came within one or two
votes in the House of Representatives
of adoption. Since then nothing has
been seriously undertaken.
Eight years ago this city was the
scene of one Of the worst storms Of
years, when President Taft took the
oath. The city was oil but isolated.
with trains stalled in the approach by
the snow banks, the telegraph poles

A National Calamity.

As result of the lamentable failure
OF the Senate to discharge its duty by
the passage of the armed ships bill, a
failure which was permitted by the un-
limited debate possible under the rules
of that body, the President is now con-
fronted with situation of grave diff
Guilty and some danger. He asked Con-
gress specifically for authority to arm
merchant vessels and for provision of
funds and for other powers. The House
as quickly as possible responded, pass
ing the bill by one of the largest ma
jorities ever given in that body to any
measure. In ordinary circumstances this
bill would have been passed by the Sen
ate as well, by large majority there
also. But owing to the lateness of the
hour it was possible for a handful of
men, bare Dozen to blockade the leg
islation, talking the bill to death,
This course is deserving of the strong
est condemnation. 1t was unpatriotic,
contrary to the will of the people. 1t
was defiance of the American demand
fo- the fullest possible protection for
American rights at sea.
The President must now call Con-
gress in extra session. There is no alter
native. Even though all the appropria
tion bills had passed and all the needs
of the government were provided for,
ba or
diate summoning of the houses. 1t now
appears that the President has no power
under the statute to arm the ships. He
is, in fact, it would seem, from a read
ing of the statutes, specifically prohib-
tied from doing so. In this state of i'm
potency he must be given the authorize
tion which he sought from Congress and
which was denied him by the opposition
of a dozen men in body of ninety-six.
To delay this matter is to invite
further trouble. Whether the rules of
the Senate are changed or not to per-
nit speedy legislation, whatever may be
the embarrassments prospectively at
tending the organization of the next
House by reason of the even division
between the parties, the need remains
of speedy call. These very conditions
are imperative reasons for immediate
action. To delay the call for an extra
session until June, as has been suggest
ed, is to invite another blockade through
the shortness of the time remaining in
the current fiscal year.
The most grievous evil in this stu
alton is the erroneous impression GER
tain to be spread abroad regarding the
Senate's failure to pass the armed ships
bill The peeuliarities of the American
legislative organization are not known
in foreign lands. The power of the fiji
buster is not known there. All that is
plain is that the Congress of the United
States has failed to grant the powers re-
quested by the President and that this
failure makes it impossible for him in
this crisis to act in defense of the prin-
ciples for which this government stands
That impression must be speedily re-
moved by positive prompt action, and
the only way to do it is to summon Com
gress and to place upon it again and
with defniteness the responsibility for
the upholding Of American rights. No
one doubts that Congress will promptly
and patriotically respond.

BULL SNAKE DANCES.
MONKEY PLAYS URULELE

NEW YORK, Feb 2O.-This is the
story OF dancing bull snake and a
ukulele-playing monkey. The facts
were gathered by teetotalers, and
written by man from a prohibition
State.
Fannie, turbulent-tailed chimpan-
zee, at the Bronx Zoo, fell heir to a
demoralized ulSulele, gotten from
somewhere by Keeper Bill Snyder.
Bill says Fannie has learned to play
two bars of Home, Sweet Home"
keeping time by swinging herself
pendulum-wise, from her tail rack.
George Mccoy spread CONSERVATION
and the bull snake all over the 51st
street police station, when he left
it there because somebody left it with
him, and he did not want it. He told
the panic-stricken police to whistle,
and the snake would dance instead
of following them. They did.
Now the plan is to present the

IL took four years Of negotiations
before the powers were able to talk
out a peace after the Thirty Years
War and their agreement, called the
Peace of Westpahlia, provided that
France should possess Metz. Verdun,
Toul and Alsace in perpetuity.
In addition, the religious dissen-
sions OF Germany were for the time
settled by this peace. and the princes
of Germany were made practically in
dependent Of the emperor
The map Of Germany now looked
like a huge. jumbled jig-saw puzzle,
with 800 petty principalities, each
claiming independence, each having
it's own laws, customs. armies and
courts.
Moreover the peace OF Westphalia
gave these principalitios the right to
make independent alliances with
other powers.
Germany was now a name only, or
at most feeble confederation.
The German soil. moreover, had
been utterly devasted by the three
decades OF war, from 1918 to 164S.
during which period huge armies had
lived Off the land and fought over it,
The miserable and starving popu-
lation not only was reduced TO eating

Moreover. all German trade and in
