Journey to the White House was
equally as difficult and the crowd
which followed him there broke
into the executive mansion,
smashing furniture and tracking
mud over the carpet and floors.
1t is related that barrels of or
angc punch were placed on the
White House lawn to enticc the
crowds from the building.
There had been forebodings OF
what was to come and the day
before inauguration Il Washing
ton newspaper published an ap-
peal to all persons attending the
ceremonies to ''observe order
and that all peace officers aid
and assist in the reservation of
peace and order"
Daniel Webster wrote a friend
that he had never seen such a
crowd before"
"Persons have come here for
500 miles, his letter said. "and
they really think the country has
been saved from some dreadful
danger. The ity is, full Of spccula-
tors. too many to be fed without
miracle anil all hungry for Of
nee"
The next record OF all inau9u-
raj crowd breaking from the
bornGs OF sanity and dccorum
was in 1915. Content during the
daylight hours, with shouting
bantcringly to one another. the
popular question OF the day,
"Who is James X. Polk ?'-qucry
started by opponents Of the COM
parativcly unknown PRECEDENT
elects from Tennessee - crowds
grew more boistcrous toward
night until finally at a ball "for
the masses" held at the National
thcatcr there developed free

that during the progress OF the
melee thieves made off with most
of the combatant's hats. wraps
and ClOakS.
Another instance fan uncon-
trollablc Inauguration crowd was
III 1869 when Grant took office
Many OF the visitors had been an
Gcred because they had been
charged $50 to 500 for seats in
line of march OF the parade That
night mob broke into the tenn
porary kitchen at the treasury
building. where the inaugural ball
was IN progress and ate or de-
stroyed all of the food provided
for the guests.
The city was packed and it was
related that thousands slept on
door steps. SO many persons at
tended the inaugural Ball that the
onditions there were described by
one writer as terrible" Horace
Greeley, unable to find either his
hat or overcoat, was said to have
been forced to sit up for two
hours on the steps of the treas

had been torn in their vain effort

INAUGURATION CROWD
SMALLER THAN USUAL
Due to Hsrding's Expressed Wish
For Simplicity-Some Other
Big Throngs Recalled
(By ASSo ciatcd PrcSS)

Washington. March 4.-This
year. for the first time since WI
liam Henry Harrison was lnau-
gurated in 1871 and 'Tippecanoe'
Cub started the custom OF pll-
grinages to the capital on a great
scale. an inauguration has been
held without organized effort to
attract crowds to the national
capital.
The great masses Of humanity
which have come to witness the
induction OF chief executives were
conspicuous today by their alb
scnce. The explanation is the dc
cree Of President Harding that
the customary inaugural parade,
ball. fireworks and other ostcnta-
tious display be eliminated.
Hundreds Of visitors came, OF
course. to sec Mr.. Harding take
he oath OF office and hear his
inaugural address, but there was
no such crowds as the railroads
had expected to bring and as the
hotel proprictors. restaurant men
and merchants had hoped to cater
to.
The scenes today contrastcd
strangely with those OF four years
ago when Woodrow wilson was
inaugurated for the second time
amid a great patriotic demonstra-
ton with the nation verging on
its declaration Of war with Ger
many. Then there were all the
elements Of great spectacle. mill
itary and civil. In addition rifle
ment were stationed on roofs and
at windows along Pennsylvania
avenue to guard the presidentand
so boy scouts were concealed I'M
der the inaugural platform to de-
tect any suspicious movements IN
the crowds on the capitol plaza.
That is said to have been the
first time rif1emen were thus
posted as guards since Lincoln
first came into office. Incidentally
the sharpshooters of '6l were said
by writer's of the day to have been
expert German rifenen."
Until this year the number of
persons attending inaugural cere-
monies has been increasing al
most without exception since
Madison took the oath in 1909
The capital at that time had
grown to be village of 5000 and
writer's Of that day said that by
10 o'clock on the morning of
March 4 Pennsylvania avenue
was crowded and that numerous
slaves, the women with bright
turbans carrying bundles on their
well poised heads" mingled with
the promenaders.
| On several occasions Inaugural
ton crowds have turned them
selves into mobs and literally ia
ken possession of the city. His
torians record that when General
Jackson was inaugurated in 1921
it was necessary Ito stretch a
ships cable" across the capitol
steps to protect him from his en-
thusiastic friends. They first hem
med him in at Gadby's tavern an<
it was only with difficulty that he
was able to reach the capitol. His

1t is said Of her in Marion that

known that at some of the most
discouraging stages of the pre-
convention campaign last year it

During the strenuous days when

POOR RICHARDS PLAN

Something more than $50 years
ago Benjamin Franklin, the greatest
American philosopher, gave In his
Poor Richards Almanac" plan
for saving 100000 pounds sterling,
approximately 100000. His sug-
gestions are as good today as they
were then. His plan was thus set
forth:
"As spent some weeks last winter
in visiting my old acquaintance in
the Jerseys, great complaints
heard for want Of money, and that
leave to make more paper bills could
not be obtained. Friends and
countrymen, my advice on this head
shall cost you nothing, and II you
will not be angry with me for CIV
ing it, / promise you not to be Of
Tended II you do not take.
"You spend yearly at least 200, 900
pounds, it is said, in European,
East-Indian and West-Indian COM
modities. Suppose one half of this
expense to be in things absolutely
necessary, the other half may be
called superf1uities, or at best, con-
veniences, which, however, you
might live without for one little year
and not suffer exceedingly. Now, to
save this half, observe these few
directions:

THE NATIVE INDIAN
COSTUME

There are few palefaces, who
criticise the Indian for sticking tc
the blanket or criticise the educated
youth and maiden for going back to
the blanket.
AS every individual has his own
personality, every race has its own
individual things, implements and
methods of accomplishing their
wishes, and the blanket and other
pieces of clothing and costume is as
appropriate and as correct for the
Indian as pantaloons, suspenders,
underclothes, collars, buttons, shoes,
corsets, brassiers, sweat pads, shirts,
chemise, skirts, garters, hose, gait
ers, bunion plasters, hats, hoods, bon
nets, hairpins. wells and other endless
array of trinkets worn by the pale
face who assay to judge that the
native costume of the red man is not
the right thing.
We suggest that people who go out
to the Indian sun. dance and the
Fourth Of July celebration 60 in the
spirit of comradeship rather than in
the spirit of criticism. We suggest
that they be thankful that the red
man cherishes and preserves the
things wrought out by hard and
tedious process by his forbears and
judged SO good and appropriate that
none of all the generations of his
race ever devised anything which
was Judged to be better and more
suitable when all conditions were
considered.
These days mark the passing OF
the trinkets of the frontier as we'll
as the native Indian implements and
merchandise and anything which the
paleface can do to help to preserve
them or to delay their passing into
oblivion is to be encouraged. May
there be many celebrations and
festivals to bring out, to exhibit and
to preserve those things that at
forded the red race such good SER
vice thru all the centuries.
