urday to conduct clean cut campaign.
Rope Gives Clue.
Two of D'Andrea's precinct captains
suffered broken legs, one had his leg
blown off, and several others were
hurt A rope by which police assert

to the place where it was exploded,

to halt them.

tested political honors in the nine,

THE Cuban government" he con.

HARD|NC'S INAUGURAL
RECALLS DAYS OF '61
IN NATIONS CAPITAL
(By Associated Press)

CHICAGO, Feb. 12-While Senator
Harding's Inauguration as President of
United States is designed to follow ar
rangements of Abraham Lincoln's
inaugural, there are features of 1861
that fortunately will be missing in
1921.
Instead Of veterans of North and
South marching side by side as they
will next month, the only military
forces in the inaugural parade of 1851
were sappers and miners. The rest
Of the United States troops in the
capital were stationed in different
parts Of the city TO provide against
emergencies. As the nation hovered
fear of the authorities was that effort
would be-made to interfere with the
ceremonies.
- Speech Was Concise.
If~President Harding follows Lin
COINS first inaugural address in COM
pass. he will do it in less than 1900
words. In that space Lincoln made
his plea for the Union and declared
his intention to maintain it.
Four years later Lincoln's second
inaugural was overshadowed by the
procession of victories. The crowds
were smaller than those in 81. Veter-
ans matched in the parade and there
was a brilliant array of officers in the
city. A much commented on feature
of the parade was a battalion of color
ed lodge of Masons. Philadelphia
was represented by several fire CON-
panies with engines and two hose
companies.
Lincoln's second inaugural address
was done in a thousand words. but the
following part of it is still echoing in
American thought as pertinent to the
worlds affairs of today:
Old Speech Still Applies.

Local Men Visiting Washington
Hopeful About Business Outlook
OF the country is unshaken, and what
ever anxiety there may have been up
on that score has been relieved"

OF the country is mistaken, and what
ever anxiety there may have been up
on that score has been relieved" ~
4 large number of Wayne county
automobile owners have been voicing
their objections TO the proposal of
Secretary of Treasury Houston's pro-
posal to levy an additional tax upon
automobiles to yield approximately
$3.50, 100000. Wayne county motorists
assert that the tax burden they now
have to bear for the operation Of their
cars is already heavy enough.
1t is stated that the ways and means
committee of the house has given no
consideration TO Mr.. Houston's in
creased automobile tax proposal.
which means that no such legislation
will be enacted by the present session
of congress, which expires in three
" ecks.
In a report just issued by the de-
pdrtment of labor it is stated that 40
out of the 4S states have now adopted
some form of mothers pension, recog-
nizing the principle that children
should not be taken from their moth
ers because of poverty alone"
The rapid growth of the mothers
pension movement is an indication,
the labor department reports, of the
general belief of the country in the
paramount value of home life and a
mothers care"
Many of the states make substantial
allowances. but in general, the depart
ment report states, the grants are
much too small and do not take into
account the increased costs of living.
Some states, it is reported, are at
present carefully studying these in
creased costs. in order properly to ad-
just the pension provisions to higher
prices.
