GEORGE WASHINGTON,
Copyright, 1918, Western Newspaper Union)
INAUGURATION HAD TO WAIT
Why George Washington Was Not
Formally Made President Until
April 80, in 1889.

Although March is the date set by
law for the ceremony of the Inaugural
ton of our presidents, there was one
occasion when the rule was not OBJ
served, for George Washington was in
augurated on April 80, 1889, instead of
March 4.
When the Constitution had been
ratified by the requisite number of
states the Continental congress by
resolution of September 13, 1888, set
the first Wednesday of the following
March March 4, 1881 as the ''time
for commencing proceedings" under
the new form of government.
Owing to delays of various kinds,
such as difficulties of travel, etc., men,
bers of the first congress were very
slow to assemble in New York, and a
quorum of both houses was not OBJ
tanned until April 6. The counting of
the electoral vote, the notification OF
Washington of his election to his high
office, and his journey from Mount
Vernon to New York took until April
%, and his Inauguration was set for
April so.
His term of Office was, however, con-
strued as having commenced on March
4, the date set by the Continental con-
gress for the Inauguration Of the new
government, and so it came to an end
on March H. 1893, although it lacked
nearly two months of the four years
provided for by the Constitution

every argument that applied to the
habit Of thrift during the war applies
to it today. The personal benefit of
saving is as great as ever, the profit
from interest on the investment is still
as good as it was. The security of

unquestionable and today, with fight

when Roosevelt said there must

Savings Stamps today would be as
bad for the man at home as it would
be for the soldier holding the Rhine
to go on duty from now on without a

a retreat, as if the army that fought it's

dream which greatly excited the peo-

century ago About the middle forties,
according. to records found in the State
Historical Library at Madison, Asa
Whitney attracted nationwide atten-
ton by his project for stretching a
highway Of steel from the shores of
Lake Michigan TO those of Puget
Sound. The Sprawling ten-year-Old vii

Connected by rail with both the Allan

city's lap. Westward over this line of
steel would pass an endless tide of set
tiers: eastward would come the prod

markets Of the Atlantic Slope and Of
Europe. All would pay tribute to Mil

consin. and destined to become the
metropolis of the nation.

eyes of the 10000 settlers Of Wiscon-

Washinqton's Peculiar Fitness.

1t is the conclusion almost unani-
nous among historians that George
Washington was the only man among
the Fathers of the Republic fitted
mentally and temperamentally to car
ry the revolution to victory. The tre-
mendous burden not only of creating
and organizing an army from raw and
undisciplined volunteers in the face
of a strong enemy, but also of or
ganizing the patriotism of the country
through voluminous correspondence
with the governors and leading men
of the colonies and of maintaining
both organizations through weary
years of military disasters, political
chickering's and petty jealousies, would
have crumpled the back of any other
man the revolution produced. He had
to be at one and the same time gem
eral, diplomat and statesman.

The matter was embarrassing for
the general. Travers had been caught
in Mr.. Harrington's house, visitor to
Miss Harrington, whose father was a
patriot, a friend of Washington's, and
aiding in every way within his power
the cause of the colonies.

TO the residence of gentleman named
Harrington, a patriot himself, but
whose family were all bitter enemies
of the Revolution.
Lieutenant Travers had been nOti-

was betrOthed, that her father would
be away from home that day and asked
him to come to see her. She was
waiting for him and seing him ap-

A moment later from her seat be-

and a man whom she recognized as

their horses in front of the gate.
"Heavens!" she exclaimed. "You

Then in a different tone, 'But Isabel,

The girl was so frightened that she

that he was a Tory, if not British
