Inaugural Preparations.

President elect Harding. it is report

decision regarding the holding of a
ball at the time of the Inauguration
and it is intimated that he may post
pone all consideration OF the matter
for the ceremonies of March 4 until
January. If the inaugural ball is to
be resumed the fact should be known
as early as possible in order to give
a chance for the necessary prepara-
tions In the first place the question
of a room or building is of paramount
Importance. Although twelve years
have elapsed since the last inaugural
ball was held there has been no pro.
vision here for the suitable accommo-
dation of this function. No big audi.
torium has been constructed, and there
remains of all the available spaces
practically only the one that has been
used before that is really suitable in
size. location and arrangement for the
great reception that has been known
for many years as the inaugural ball.

Women and the Election.

A somewhat remarkable feature of
the election of Tuesday is the fact
that although there We're numerous
woman candidates for Congress only
one of them was elected. The women
took part in the election in every state
in the Union, and il might easily have
happened that they would concentrate
own sex. Only in one district, how
ever, did this occur with success and
that was out in Oklahoma And SO
for the second time a woman will sit
in the House of Representatives from
the west. In several of the states
women were candidates for the Senate.
In New York and Pennsylvania women
were nominated. particularly in op-
position to Wadsworth and Penrose
and there was much campaigning in
their behalf. But up to date their
names have not been mentioned in the
teIegraphic dispatches giving the re.
turns. Their candidates. appear to
have been hopeless from the start.
In one of these cases the senator was
Apposed on the score of his opposition
to woman suffrage during the days
when the amendment was before Con.
xress, and in the other case the pro-
hibition forces opposed on the score
Of the senator's attitude on the en-.
forcement act. In neither case, how

Girl Scouts.

About 800 girls in this city are en-
rolled in the Girl Scouts. They have
| no systematic direction and now the
time has come when a definite finan-
cial guarantee is necessary to provide
| them with a paid instructor and with
literature and equipment. 1t is esti-
mated that $4,000 will carry this or
ganization through for a year. and
beginning with pageant today at the
Treasury the Girl Scouts are going to
ask Washington during the coming
week for this assistance.
The Girl Scout organizatio is one
of the wholesome factors in community
life. 1t is by some misunderstood to
be mere fun-naking organization,
to give the members a chance to go
| country. The fact is that Girl Scout
when properly directed is constantly
learning to do things of practical
nature. She is learning good woman
hood. She is becoming producer
through domestic science. She is
learning how to run a house. She is
learning nursing and the care of chill
dren. She is being taught economy
and thrift. The Girl Scout, like the
Boy Scout, is taught primarily the
proposition that it is required to do
at least one good turn daily. Help
fulness, cheerfulness, industry are the
watchwords of this organization. The
girl who is an active Scout has no
time for mischievous idleness.
So when the friends of the organiza-
tion-the Scouts themselves are for.
hidden to solicit for subscriptions-go
about town next week and ask for
contributions in the form of sustain.
Ting memberships the people of Wash.
ington ought to respond gladly. The
amount asked is small. 1t is needed
however, to keep the 500 girls now en-.
rolled properly at work during the
coming year and to enlarge and i'm.
prove the organization. Washington is
proud Of it's Boy Scouts, and it should
give their sisters in khaki a substan
tial backing.

The Democracy's Future.

All current talk about the future of
the democratic party is premature.
The disaster has just fallen. 1t is too
soon to appraise with anything like
accuracy the full extent of the wreck
or the causes. For time there Will
naturally be some elimination and re-
elimination. The search for goat
win be industrious.
In a little time, however, there will
be, because there must be. a CONSUL
tation. Democrats of light and lead
ing will have to reason together. Men
who have been convinced followers OF
Mr., Wilson, men who have followed
him as a matter of party necessity,
and men who have refused to follow
him even under party pressure, will
be obliged to meet and exchange opln-
ions about what should be done to
make the party going concern again.
The question is the future. THE past
10 in the eternal past
Tie democrats would do we'll to take
q leaf out of the republican book. The
republicans have swept everything
OF value into their sack. In the most
thorough sense ever known in this
country, they are masters Of the stu
alton. But the magnitude of their
winning has not blinded them to the
necessity of moving cautiously. Their
new leader favors consultation. and
before adopting and recommending a
course will consult with many men
and women as to the party's future
and the country's present need and
good. He could not have made an an
nouncement better calculated to JUS
tify Tuesdays decision at the polls.
How much more, then, the advisable
ity-even the necessity-of caution by
the democrats, who have lost all. and
cannot hope to regain their feet and
try a hazard of new fortunes with
out united action and the exercise OF
q good deal Of forgiving and forget
ting!

permission must be obtained from Con-

past delays have occurred on this
lore, with consequence of great con-
!usion in the plans and serious con-
gestion toward the close of the period
Of preparation. On the other hand,
if the pension building cannot be OBJ
tanned or is not deemed suitable ana
some temporary construction is to be
undertaken to accommodate the null
titude anxious to attend the ball-re-

to effect it's completion. The people of
Washington stand ready to do what
ever is necessary, and SO far as they
will be responsible for its execution

elect. They surely deserve the long
est possible time and the best chance
to do this work properly.

do more than reduce the plurality. In
one case just reported from Oregon
an entire municipal ticket of women
was chosen. to the establishment Of the
men. The women. keeping their plans
under cover. organized effectively and
on election day took possession Of the
entire works. The women now declare
that they will clean house in the town
of Yoncalla, where they aver, things
have grown very slack. In another
town in Oregon a woman was elected
mayor after a practically secret can
didacy. Thus the women have scored
more on the municipal side than on
the national in this campaign, and it
would seem that they have gained a
definite political power in the matter
of town housekeeping that ought to
make for better conditions in our
American municipal life.

The Border States.

The border states have given a re-
markable account Of themselves. The
republican figures from Maryland,
Delaware. West Virginia, Missouri and
even Kentucky, cause one to rub his
eyes to make sure.
1t is to be recalled, however, that
Mr.. Harding on tour was most hand
somely received by the people there.
The outpouring at Baltimore, Louis
Vile and st. Louis made a record.
Still, the outside public was not pre-.
pared for the actual returns. And
even after several days they cause
wonder.
And yet in all those states the re-
publicans for more than a quarter of
Ia century have been Strengthening
their organizations and now and then
achieving local victory.
Baltimore, Louisville and st. Louis
are large and growing cities. Their
business interests are very large.
Their business men are very alert.
They follow public questions with a
thorough appreciation of their real ma.
ture and meaning.
It was the business men Of Balti
more and Louisville who carried Mary.
land and Kentucky against free silver
in 1896; and it was the same men
joined by the business men of st. Louis
who on Tuesday in great numbers
supported constructive American poll
cies and declared for a peace of prog
ress.
The border states will continue to
be debatable territory. In all national
campaigns where the issues are mo
mentous it will always be necessary
|henceforth to fight for the border.

Cabinet Material.

The country is expecting a strong
cabinet. The expectation is based
upon two things: "a Existing condi-
tions. and GU Mr.. Harding's campaign
deliverances.
Conditions are eXacting as respects
both foreign and domestic questions.
Reconstruction of many kinds is press
ing. Account must be taken of the
state of the world. and of our rela-
tions to the world in it's new state.
Nothing like it has ever been known
before. Domestic affairs are too close
to chaos for comfort. Putting our
house in order is far-reaching task.
Everything is in disorder Nothing
escaped the effects of the greatest war
in history.
Mr.. Harding in his speeches dwelt
upon the evils Of one-rnan govern
ment, and upon the benefits of govern
ment by consultation-govern of.
by and for the people. This, in effect,
was to promise that, if elected, he
would seek the peoples interests
through aScertalnment of what those
interests were. and that in pursuance
of that policy he would call around
him as advisers men well known to
the people and familiar with the peo.
| pies wishes and needs.
Fortunately for Mr.. Harding and for
the country, cabinet material of the
most excellent quality is abundant. Sc
abundant there is IAN embarrassment
of riches For every cabinet post a
dozen names Of thoroughly competent
men are easily suggested. During the
sixteen years of uninterrupted con
troll, between 1897 and 1913, the re-
publican party was nursery of tai
ent, and many men with gifts for pub
lie business found their opportunity
and thoroughly improved it.

party loses heavily. Had he been

to harass the enemy considerably.
Mr.. Clark has shown himself com.

It was as minority leader of the House

Sunday night with a production of that
screamingly funny play entitled Mary S

When the play was first produced in
New York in the season of 1913, Irene
Fenick was the featured player and in
it made one of the biggest successes of
the season. Such a hit was that play
that it has since been done in the films
and also scored heavily as a picture.
The story would be spoiled in the tell

of laughter will greet the play when
