And second address will quickly

give thought while in the south. The
new Congress will meet in special ses

the new President must communicate
with that body on the state of the

Census Records on Wooden Shelves.

Just few hours after The Star
had called attention TO the danger
that is run daily by the government
in this city in the exposure of its If.
replaceable files and records to de.
struction by fire and water. in con
nection with the burning Of the West
Virginia capitol. fire occurred in the
Commerce Department building and
invaluable census records were en-
dangered and some were ruined.
These records were piled on wooden
shelving in rows about twenty inches
apart-an ideal condition for total de.
struction. BY very good fortune the
fire was kept out of the storage rooms,
and therefore the flames did not
reach the papers themselves, but much
damage was done by water. The
water even penetrated to a supposed.
ly freight and water-tight vault,
where some priceless historical docu.
ments were stored, and damage was
done to them.
This fire originated in the carpenter
shop, among shavings. The build.
ing is supposedly fireproof. Probably
the confinement of the fire yesterda v
to a relatively small space was due
to the substantial construction. But
no matter how stout and fire.resist-
ing a building may be, if there are
shavings in the basement and wooden
shelving filled with papers in the up.
per floors. flames will have a chance
and water will do damage
AS The Star suggested the other
day. the government should have no
wooden shelving in any of it's public
buildings. 1t should reduce the fire
loss to minimum by the adoption
Of every possible expedient. 1t does
not insure its property, but it should
insure itself at least to the extent Of
installing its records and files in con.
ditions that will lessen their exposure
to destruction or dana ge whenever a
little blaze starts in some obscure
corner or some neglected workroom.

Somebody Blundered!"

A naval court of inquiry, it is re-
ported. is to be called to investigate
the circumstances of the balloon
fight from Rockaway Beach into the
snowy wastes of Canada. from which
three naval airmen are now struggling
back. 1t is proposed to ascertain all
the facts Of the fight, the landing
in the forest. the loss of the balloon
and the efforts of the crew to reach
a point of safety and to return to
base. That will make an interesting
story. which should go on the record.
But a far more interesting story will
be the disclosure of the reasons why
this balloon was sent out in winter
time with no means whatever of guild.
ing its course. Thus far there has
been no official explanation Of the
purpose for which this fight wa. un-
dertaken. the objects that were
sought. the particular line of knowl-
edge that it was hoped to develop for
the benefit Of the naval service.
AS far as known, the men who
started off in the balloon. doubtless
in obedience to orders. did their full
duty, did it we'll and in accordance
with the best traditions Of the Navy.
If they made mistakes in the handling
of the balloon so that they were blown
too far north they are not to be scored
for them, for their own misfortunes
have been sufficient punishment. Per.
haps they realized when they started
that they were going on a FOOLS er.
rand. but like the men OF the Light
Brigade. it was not theirs to reason
why. 1t is for the court Of inquiry
to find out who blundered.

ton. February 9. In point of fact. the
President is elected In point of
record, however, it is not known that
he is elected. For there is no official
report of how the electors voted in the
state capitals. Were it not for the
telegraph facilities. which did not ex-
list when the constitutional provisions
were made for the election Of the chief
executive. the country would not know
today whether the electors had dis.
charged their duties in accordance
with their party instructions.
But nobody is anxious on the score
Of yesterdays proceedings. There will
be no surprise on the 9th of February
when the certificates have been OPEN

will then be formally elected" but
no more so as far as the country is
concerned than he was the night of

The Inauguration.

Mr. Harding request Indt the III

dent.elect prefers an induction ln'o

,iopal formalities and demonstrations

GREETED that his decision to TINS Ell
feet was not earlier reached and an
no1nced. Much work has been zone
by the people Of the District in prep
aration and considerable money has
been spent. Fortunately no contracts
have been let, and save for the as
semblase of lumber for the stands IN
front of the Capitol no materials nave
been accumulated.
According to Mr.. Harding's tele'
gram to Senator Knox he wishes tine

of beftting address, He says that
i, will be most pleasing to him TO
b,ve the ceremony take place within

..wi,hout a single extra preparation
FOR the occasion
The chief disappointment will be
felt by the people Of the country at
large. A great multitude would doubt
less have come here for the Inaugural
tion. whatever the program. Perhaps
many will come as it is. But If there
is to be no outdoor ceremonial and no
parade. save a simple escort Of honor
10 and from the Capitol. and no IN
ansural ball.reception, there will be
little reason for making the journey
TO this city. In times past many
thousands of Americans have made
their first and their only visit to the
rapital on the occasion Of Inaugural
ton. and the change Of program viii
probably result in thousands who
otherwise would see the city missing
the opportunity through the lack OF
incentive.
As for the people of Washington.
they are, Of course. disappointed,
though in a large measure relieved
of expense and discomfort and labor.
They would gladly make any sacri-
fee to maintain the tradition Of a
public ceremonial on the occasion Of
the induction Of President into Of

to do their duty without thought Of
reward or return, to serve as hosts
for the multitudes who were sure to
come in celebration Of The most ire
mendous political victory ever scored
by presidential candidate. Mr..
Harding expresses his appreciation Of
the spirit Of the Washingtonians in
terms that will lessen the disappoint.
ment.
AS for the reasons given for this
change of program, it is not fitting
to question them. II the inaugura.
ton is to be reduced to the point Of
real economy the appropriation al
ready voted by Congress will not be
expended, as Mr.. Harding requests.
1t is impossible to direct into a spe.
cifc channel the money, public or pri-
vate, thus saved by the cancellation
Of the plans. Whether the example
Of strict economy thus set will be
profitably observed by the country
cannot be foretold.
