INAUGURATION CEREMONIES.

Shall the Inauguration of the new
president of. the United States be
made a somewhat imposing spectacle,
or shall the ceremony be one of prim-
tive simplicity and the money which
would otherwise be spent on it be de-
voted to some other purpose?
The subject is being debated in
congress, and the discussion extends
more or less throughout the country.
a proposal now before the senate
provides for an appropriation of $780,
600 with which to defray the expenses
of thu inauguration. 1t would be easy
in feeding the starving and clothing
the naked. There are those who urge
/ that the inauguration ceremonies be
conducted in the simplest possible
manner. without expense, both in or
der that the particular sum which
would otherwise be spent may be
saved for other purposes, Ind for the
moral effect on The country. What
is right, and what is ~expedient?
In deciding such 4 question no ex-
act formula can be followed. With
the nation as with the individual ex-
travagance is to be avoided, but it is
not easy to determine just what ex-
travagance is. We ma dismiss at
once the theory that we should re-
strict ourselves to bare n~ecessaries
If that doctrine were to prevail we
should revert to the condition of the
savage. mo human being living the
ordinary life OF a civilized community
restricts himself to that which is nee
essary. He could live on simpler
and less expensive food, wear cheaper
clothes, burn LESS fuel in his home,
and spend less money on ornament
and entertainment, on the mere graf
ification of his tastes, than is his
practice. The immediate saving
which would be effected by the general
adoption Of the simpler life would be
enormous, and if the savings were
tudiciously applied, a great deal of
suffering might be relieved.
That such a policy, followed out
To it, ultimate conclusion, would be
Of permanent benefit to humanity is
Improbable. II that would be the
result, all our civilization is a mis-
take. But discussion on his point is
futile, Tor nd such policy will be adopt

NO PANIC POSSIBLE.

Perhaps it is a little extreme to say
thai a business panic in the United
States is impossible, but that such a
thing is as nearly impossible as any,
thing in human relations can be is
shown in a statement recently made
by Governor Harding of the Federal
Reserve board.
Everyone has read of panics, and
many men now in business have ex-
perienced them. Like all panics, the
business panic vas characterized by
a sudden and overwhelming sense Of
danger by a great number Of people,
and a frenzied rush for safety in which
a was thrown to the winds. The
banks were the first objectives Of the
rush. Fearful of closed doors and
locked-up funds, depositors flocked
to the counters and demanded their
money. In the ordinary course Of
business solvent banks would accom-
modate each other with temporary adj
vances to tide over temporary Short
ages of cash. But with the spirit Of
panic in the air this measure Of relief
vanished at the very moment when It
was most urgently needed. A run on
one bank might easily spread to every
bank in the city, and each bank found
it necessary. to observe the law of
self-preservation and hold onto all it's
funds while the danger threatened.
In order to keep the doors open sac
rifices of all kinds were made, and
both institutions and individuals whose
affairs were essentially sound were
Horced to the wall.
The Federal Reserve system pro-
videS the safeguards which were lack
ing before it was created. Under It
all the national banks Of the country.
and a very large number Of the state
banks, are linked UP into one compact
organization, and the of the
entire organization are available for
the use OF every solvent member.
Emergency aid can be given where II
is needed without risk to other men,

Hide YOUR troubles. keep 'em down,
Nothing's bettered by a frown;
Spreading dismal tales Of woe
Doesn't help you as you go,
Talking of your round Of care
Makes it doubly hard to bear.
Find some Joy to talk about,
Never let your hardships out,
Keep 'em to yourself, an tell
folks you're doing well:
Whimpering won't help q bit,
Silence is the source OF grit.
Hide your troubles, big or small.

Even though you're in despair
Just pretend your skies are fair,
Fight by day, but when it's night
Never talk about your fight.

Keep your troubles in your breast,
Don't make petty troubles known,
You can handle 'em alone;
Just forget 'em for a. while.
Hide 'em underneath a smile.

Wrongly Addressed
Mail Causes Higher
Taxes, Officers Say

New York. Nov. 10.--One way to.
reduce federal expenses would ne TOT
everybody to think twice, or Al ieast
once, before mailing a letter or a

employees to do nothing but straighten
out lnisdirected and improperly ad-
dressed mail. The working hours
thus employed each year would, II
placed end to end. stretch all the way
back to B. c., perhaps farther.
One naive thing a great many
people do every day is to drop a let;eF
or parcel in the mail box without a

the sender might be or to whom IT 10

postal officials say. is accomplished
400 times a day in New York alone.
Such mail must be ripped open IN the
hone Of identifying the sender or III

Icial mailing clerks Of big business
houses are said to be guilty "a ''is
