as the climax of nearly eighty
years of agitation-a crusade
which, III the third decade of this
century, amply financed and
shrewdly led, enlisted the bulk Of
the cOuntrys business interests
alongside the convinced White
RibbOners.
The crusade ebbed and rose at
various periods. But it remained
inflammatory throughout. From
1903 onward the politics of every
state was rolled; legislatures were
besieged, to the detriment of other
business, by amiably insistent
clergymen ard plaintively metallic
women on the one hand, by
genially stupid and open-handed

his habit to walk thrice daily from
home to store and the reverse

Ward Beecher Memorial church
and the modest, two-stOried manse
alongside. Mr.. Flanagan kept
respectable place. He allowed no
minors or women, observed the
closing ordinances and served the
more sedate among Lawrence
burg's merchants, bankers, and
lawyers.
A solid man, he trOd solidly,
looking every man in the eye. His
progress along Elm street was an
ambulatory embodiment Of self
conscious rectitude and virtue.
For several years Mr.. Flanagan,
in passing, made it part of his
routine grayely to regard the min
listers lady and, raising his derby
hat ponderously, to call out
greeting.
Good day, ma'am" he would
say. It's warming up" Or, Good
day, ma'am. 1t looks as if we're
in for a shower"
A neighbOrly gesture, and the
minister's wife invariably replied

WASHINGTON, March 3.
With a cheer on its lips
and a prayer of transcendent
hope in its heart, the nation
turned the capital city into
one vast parade ground to-

come the new president

unmatched in many years.
Thousands from every
state, fellow citizens of
Franklin Roosevelt, poured
into Washington to see him
take up at noon tomorrow
the duties of the high office
in which Herbert Hoover
spent his last full working
day.
Although the main func-
tions of the inauguration
were unchanged by the
death of Thomas Walsh, the
Reoaevelta decided not to
participate in any of the
purely social activities.
In the meantime Roosevelt

SURVEY MADE
OF HOSPITALS
In THIS STATE
OF THREE GOVERNMENT IN
STITUTIoNs IN FLORIDA,
KEY WEST HAS IS vETER-
AN BUREAU PATIENTS

A survey of the three govern
ment hospitals in Florida recently
completed shows 46 veterans
bureau patients at the Marine hos
pital in Key West. The report is
sent out by the national head
quarters of the American Legion
at Indianapolis, Indiana.
OF this number all of whom
were interviewed, it is shown that
without the aid of the federal gov
eminent for disqualification, 25
would be dependent on state,
county or city for treatment. In
some cases the care of wives and
children would also be involved.
A summary of the situation in
the State Of Florida shows that
nine inmates of the Marine hos
pital at Key West are drawing
compensation from the govern
ment, six are receiving disability
allowance but not one is drawing
a pension, and 26 are not receiv-
ing any kind of compensation
whatever.
OF the entire number, 81 are
married and there are az children
with 73 dependents on the veter-
ans, and 8 partially dependent. In
the event of the government with
drawing support seven would be
completely dependent on charity.
There are but five in the insti-
tuition that have other income than
that received from the government
and fors drawing retirement pay.
Another phase of this problem,
which it is well to keep in mind,
the report shows, is that the money
that is spent on the disabled
either in disqualification or some
form of compensation, helps not
only the veterans and their de-
pendents but likewise benefits
business conditions, because the
money is spent for food, clothing
and other necessities.
The report shows the amount
of payment by the federal gov
eminent for Florida veterans and
the number of Florida veterans re-
ceiving them for the IL months
ending June 80, 1882, as follow:
Disability compensation, 3,943
veterans, amount $2,231,54S; dis
ability allowance, 5,904, amount
81, 057,611; death compensation
