Inauguration Day

how the 4th of March was fixed upon as Inauguration Day. It was not. as might be supposed. because on that day George Wash ington took the oath as the first President. for Washington was inaugurated nearly two months after March 1, though his double term ended on March 5, 1797.
 When. in July. 178S, eleven of the thirteen states had ratified the Constitution the convention met and after prolonged discus sion directed that the electors of President and Vice President should be appointed' on the first Wednesday in January, 1789; tha they should meet and vdte on the first Wednesday in Mardh, which in that year happenedto be the fourth day of the month. i The preliminarics took place As they had been planned, but no quorum of Congress appeared in II New York until April 6. Then the electoral votes were counted and special messengers were sent to Virginia and Massachusetts to inform Washington and Adams of their election. Washington made triumphal journey north- ward and was inaugurated on the 30 h of April; but the fact that a few Senators were in attendance on March 1 led to the theory that the new government began it's existence on that day. Washing ton was inaugurated for his sec ond term on March 4. 1793-two months short of his four years and March 4 has been the date of the beginning of Presidential terms ever since.
 The date was therefore fixed by accident; ;. and. as time has proved. It was most unfortunate. Inauguration Day. which has be. come the occasion of great gath. ] erings and imposing pageants. ceremonies and jolIiiiea,ions. fails in the most inclement season of the year at the national capital. But that, although 1t detracts from the pleasures of the occa- sion, might not 5e an adequate reason for making d change. There are. however, many serious reasons. The Constitution fixes the first Monday in December as the day for Congress to meet | and in the second yea, of its ser vice that leaves q Congress only three months before it's term cx. pireS. So the short" session, curtailed by the holiday season, cannot accomplish any important legislation. Moreover. when Con. gress meets for it's short session its successor has already been chosen, and unless the new Con- gress is summoned to meet in extraordinary session 1t does not begin it's labors for more than a year after 1t has been chosen.
 Those difficulties have been known, discussed and deplored for many decades, but nothing has been done to remove them. Indeed so far as anyone knows. no proposal to remove any one of them has ever been brought to a vote in either House of Congress. Even among those who believe that the trouble should be cured there is no agreement. On the contrary. no sooner is any plan suggested than many other plans are offered as better. Just at present the plan Of fixing upon the 1St of January. or day near it. seems to have some strength; but before 1t is adopted 1t should

BOOttegger Schemes to SerUe
2 Farm Terms at Same Time

What is evidently a clever effort Of a
convicted boOtIegger to serve two sen
tences given in different courts for
operating blind tiger, at the same time
on the Indiana State Farm became pub
lie today when a representative from the
farm appeared in city court and asked
Judge Walter Pritchard for ruling In
the case.
1t developed that Paul Maple IS, 702
North Illinois street, convicted blind
tiger operator, and Harry Moore, now a
priso7er at the Indiana State Farm, are
one and the same person. Under the
name of Harry Moore the man was ar
rested by the Putnam County sheriff at
Greencastle, convicted in the Circuit
Court in that city about two weeks ago,
and fined 800 and costs and sentenced
to serve ninety days on the farm. Moore,
alias Maple, was caught in company with
another man, and was driving an auto
mobile from Clinton to indianapolis
loaded with about forty gallons of white
mule whisky.
"MoORE" RECALLS
NAPLES SENTENCE.
AS soon as Moore was sent to the farm
he recalled that on July 6 he was ar
rested in company with Frank Lentz,
who has been staying at 702 North Illi-
nOis street. The two men had about five
gallons Of whisky when Lieutenant Wool
len arrested them then. On July IL, both
Maple and Leltz were convicted In city
court. Lentz was fined 500 and costs
and sentenced to serve thirty days on the
Indiana State Farm. He appealed the
case and the bond was signed by pro-
fessional bondsman. The appeal was
and Lentz probably was at the Indiana
State Farm in time TO welcome his old
friend, Paul Maple, who was sent to the
farm under the name of Harry Moore.
No sooner had Harry Moore arrived at
the Indiana State farm to serve the ninety
days sentence. received in the Green
castle Circuit Court than he sent q mes.
