ington on the occasion Of the inaugu-
ration than the exceedingly brief ar
rangements of yesterday afforded.
In one respect the inauguration yes
terday was exceptionally satisfactory
to the people. By use of the amplifier
in the stand on the east steps Of the
Capitol the Presidents words were
heard by everybody in the great space.
After all. the taking of the oath and
the delivery of the inaugural address
are the vital points Of the whole pro
gram Yet so few can see the action
of the administration of the oath. and
heretofore so few have heard the Presi-
dents words that limitation of the
public spectacle to the east front pro-
ceedngs is an extreme narrowing of
the range of public contact.
Pageantry in connection with the
inauguration has its value in provid-
ing spectacle which brings to the
capital great numbers who otherwise
probably would not visit this city and
who cannot fail to gain inspira tion
from their association with the seat
of government even for a brief period.
Possibly that fact will weigh here
after to induce a resumption of the
usual features of inaugural ceremony.

The Emergency Tariff Debate.

The debate on the emergency tariff
bill was not wasted. Many points on
the general tariff question and situa-
tion We're brought out which will
serve at the special session.
The difficulties of tariff revision at
this time are not underrated in any
quarter. They are very great Some
of them are altogether new. The
tariff problem is world problem, and
must be dealt with as such. That is
to say, all the nations with which
we have been doing business and ! We
on our card for business dealing in
future are revising their tariffs, or
contemplating revision, and we must
consider their action or probable action
in arranging our own.
But, great as those difficulties are,
they must be undertaken. The mat
ter cannot be postponed. The Under
alton before the war began, is still
more unsatisfactory now. 1t meets
none of the requirements the war has
bequeathed.
The new Congress is booked for a
tussle on the subject. Although pro-
lection will be the underlying prin-
ciple of the new measure, il NAV not
be easy to marshal all the protection
lists in line in the matter of details.
Differences exist among them, as also
among those democrats who in the
past have trained under the banner
OF anti-protectiOn.
The only time limit TO the special
session Will be the regular session. and
that Is nine months away. In that
time something substantial and salts
factory in the tariff line should be
turned out If that much time is neces-
sary.

The Executive and the Congress.

Mr.. Harding will not fix the day for
the assembling of the Sixty-seventh
Congress in special session until after
he has consulted with the men who
will be leaders in that body.
This is an excellent start. The
President and the Congress should un-
derstand and respect each other. They
are called upon to do a good deal of
business together. Difference is a good
thing. So are consultations.
Mr.. Cleveland, probably without a
thought Of giving offense, once spoke
of having Congress "on his hands"
But the expression did offend. 1t was
seized by the wits Of the press, and
used to the annoyance of Congress-
given patroniZing twist which Con-
gress resented. And, it may be men,
toned, Mr.. Cleveland never got along
well with Congress.
More recently there has been crit.
icism of executive domination on Can.
itol Hill. Congress has been too little
its own master-has fallen short of
discharging in the proper way the
duties prescribed by the Constitution.
This criticism may have been un-
duly severe. But whatever ground,
much or little. there may have been
for it, none at all should have existed.
Mr.. Harding has served both in the
Ohio legislature and in Congress, and
from that service has come into ap-
probation of the legislators point Of
citation of the executives point of view
Let us hope that, thus equipped. he
may hit it off with Congress to his own
profit, and to the profit also of both
Congress and the country.

less the Commissioners-whe board
of Commissioners is organized-may
under the police regulations law write
and promulgate a rule for the regula-
ton of pistol selling along the lines
heretofore proposed. The police regu-
lations law permits the Commissioners
to write and enforce rules for the
protection of life and property. Whlle
waiting for an act of Congress would
il not be well to use this power in
way that will surely tend to protect
life in the District?
The Commissioners can prohibit the
maintenance of dangerous nuisances
under this general authority. Prob
ably if they were to write and enforce
a rule forbidding the sale Of deadly
weapons save upon the presentation
of duly issued permits, with penalties
for violation that right would be chal-
lcnged in court. But surely it is bet
ter to take that chance, while await
ing a statute on the subject, than to
continue the present condition un-
checked.
Nobody can compute the number of
lives that will be sacrificed before some
measure is provided by regulation or
by law that will shut off the source of
local supply of deadly weapons from
potential murderers, criminals or the
or the insane. At the pres
ent rate of slaughter the death toll
will be a heavy one.

The Water Supply Increase.

BY the pocket veto" of the Army
appropriation bill yesterday the Dis
trict water supply increase project is
delayed, presumably. however. only un-
til the repassage of the bill at the extra
session of Congress. This is the one
item in which the District was direct
ly and particularly interested in the
closing hours of the Sixty-siXth Con-
gress. The appropriation was added
TO the Army bill late, that measure
having been most available and ap-
propriate for the purpose. 1t was Sc
cured with some difficulty, owing to
the fact that the formal estimate did
not reach Congress from the Treas
ury until after the Senate had acted.
Having gone on record in favor Of
this immediate increase of the water
supply in response to the urgent
recommendations of officials, Congress
can hardly fail to proceed to a con-
clusion. Both the Army and the Navy
bills must be enacted before the first
of July. There is reason to expect
them to be put on the calendar early
in the extra session, as they are
routine matters. and whatever may be
the decision as to the size of the two
defensive forces and whatever the
policy regarding disarmament pro-
vision must be made before the new
fiscal year for iheir maintenance.
No other measure than the Army
bill, certain of passage before July !,
is in prospect as a more suitable car
rier of the water item. There is now
no question of the necessity. And the
matter is so urgent that this factor
alone puts a premium on speed in the
handling of the Army bill. Washing
tons margin of safety in respect to
its water supply is now so narrow
that every month counts and the work
should be undertaken at the earliest
possible moment 1t will require sew
eral years to complete in its entirety,
and by the time the additional water
is put into service the capitals situa-
ton will have become most difficult
and matter of grave anxiety with
each heated season.

The Cabinet Quickly Organized.

President Harding has made
prompt and somewhat unusual begin
ming in the organization Of his ad-
miniStration. Usually, heretofore, the
new chief executive has submitted the
names of his cabinet members TO the
Senate in extraordinary session the
day following the inauguration. Yes
terday, however, Mr.. Harding returned
Immediately to the Senate from the
delivery of his address and in eNecu-
tive session personally presented the
names of the ten men he has selected
for cabinet duty. 1t was complete
departure from the custom that has
prevailed since the days of Washing
ton and jefferson.
In 1906 a rule was adopted provid-
ing for the possible attendance OF the
President at executive sessions of the
Senate, but this prerogative has not
been exercised until yesterday. Mr..
Harding, having been lately a member
of the Senate, perhaps felt more free
to avail himself of the privilege of
immediate and personal announcement
than his predecessors, none of whom
has gone directly from the upper
chamber of Congress to the White
House.
As d result of this action yesterday
the new cabinet is at work today at
the opening of business hours. Some
of the members indeed. took the oath
of office yesterday. While the ad
vantage of this slightly earlier start
is of no practical importance it is a
significant index of the disposition of
the new administration to proceed
with the least possible delay in the
settlement of the problems that re-
mandate given by the people in No
vember.
1t is indicated by Mr.. Harding's
action yesterday that he will perhaps
continue the practice of personally ad-
dressing Congress renewed by his pre-
decessor after many years of discon-
tinuance. Despite an earlier announce
ment to the contrary effect, it may be
that the new chief executive will find
in this direct contact with the House
and Senate Il means of effecting the
close cooperation between the legis-
lative and the executive which he de-
clares will be the guiding principle of
his administration.

augural proceedings were to this ef.
feet: Have we seen the last OF the
old-tiIne ceremonies incident to induc.
ton into the presidential Office? Is
this simple ceremony Of today to be

Nobody can answer these questions.
It is altogether a matter for the newly
elected President to determine, as in
the present case. Possibly the sim.
plicity Of yesterdays procedure may
be regarded as more satisfactory than
the moro elaborate affair hitherto ar
ranged. Again, It may be realized

The Pistol Slaughter.

Ample proof has been offered in the
last few days Of the need of drastic
pistol regulation in Washington, and
elsewhere II possible for the protection
OF the local community. One police
man has been killed and two danger
ously wounded in consequence Of the
ease with which pistols have been OBJ
tanned by demented or crinlinally in
clined people. Anybody can get gun

IS absolutely worthless as a measure
OF public protection. Nothing. Of

Democratic House Leaders.

The democratic House leadership
has in the past thirty years been in
the hands of John Sharp Williams,
Joseph w. Bailey, James D. Richard
son. Champ Clark. Oscar Underwood
and Claude kitChin.
Mr.. Williams, Mr.. Bailey and Mr..
Underwood were transferred to the
Senate. partly as a reward for their
House services. Mr.. Bailey resigned
from the Senate. and Mr.. Williams
will retire at thu close of his present
term. Mr.. Underwood is entering on
his second term, and is the democratic
leader in that body.
Mr.. Richardson did not seek seat
in the Senate. He liked the House,
and was one of the best parliament
tarians on the floor. His leadership
was unoratorical. He was argumenta-
tive and persuasive, and a quiet and
skillful negotiator.
Mr.. Clark was at once an orator, and
a rattling allaround debater. The
energy of his floor leadership won
the speakership. When his party came
into control he stood marked for pro-
motion; and he was three times re-
elected.
Mr.. kitchin is on deck. though not
in vigorous health. The hope, shared
by both sides, is that his health may
improve, and enable him to take the
part in the new House for which he
is SO well suited. AS was Mr.. Clark,
and somewhat on that order. he is an
aggressive debater. has specialized on
the tariff, and stands for the old demo-
cratic doctrine, a tariff for revenue
only.
The democrats will be few in num-
ber in the Sixty-seventh House, but
competent leadership should enable
them to make a serviceable record for
use in next years congressional cam
paigR.

 The negroes have been convicted in Philips circuit court, but the cases were remanded for new trial when taken to the supreme court on appeal. At hearing last week, Judge J. M. Jackson granted petition of their coun- sel for change of venue to Marianna.
