historians have dug into contem-
porary newspaper accounts and
have learned that instead of rid
ing horseback to the Capitol, he
merely walked a few blocks from
Conrad and McMunn's hotel,
where he was staying, to the
scene of his inauguration. The
reason why he did not go from
the White House to the Capitol,
as became the custom in later
years, was due to the fact that
John Adams, angered by his de-
feat for reelection and still har-
boring resentment over the bit
ter things said about him during
the campaign by Jefferson's fol-
lowers in the Republican party,
had already left the city for his
home in Massachusetts,. In doing
this he broke the precedent which
Washington had established-of
the outgoing President being
present when the incoming Chief
Executive took the oath of office.
Adams was not the only one,
however, who thus ignored that
official courtesy.
The English travellers descrip-
ton of the simplicity of Jeffer-
sons costume was accurate
enough, but that was about the
only fact in his account of the
Inauguration that was. For in
stead of being a quiet affair it
was the occasion for consider
able jubilation and ostentation,
not at all in keeping with the
idea of "Jeffersonian simplicity"
According to one of the Wash
ington newspapers, the National
Intelligencer:

common animation, occasioned
by the addition to its usual pop

Der of his fellow citizens, a.

usual, that of a plain citizen.

This news story then tells. how
Chief Justice John Marshall ad-
ninistered the oath of Office, how
Jefferson delivered his inaugural
address and then started again
for his hotel, followed by a great
throng of people. 1t then con-
tinueS:
As soon as he withdrew a dis
charge of artillery was made.
The remainder of the day was
devoted to the purposes of fes-
tivity, and at night there was

From all of this, it would ap-
pear that even if President Roos-
evelt's request for an Inaugural
ton of "Jeffersonian simplicity"
were honored, his induction into
Office wouldn't be such a quiet
affair. Nor would it be that if he
followed some of the precedents
established by that other great
Democrat, Andrew jackson. In
cidentally, it is reported that the
President has also suggested that
the reviewing stand, from which
he will view the inaugural parade
should be patterned after the
Hermitage, Jackson's old home
near Nashville, Tenn, and if this
is done it will give a touch of
Jacksonian atmosphere to this

asked for a simple Inaugural

words are contradictory-wh e n
applied to an Inauguration. For,
despite the belief of most AM
orleans in the familiar tradition
about the Inauguration of Thorn
as Jefferson, who was the first
President to take the oath of
Office in the city of Washington,
the fact is that it was not so
simple and transformations.
That tradition is based upon
a single paragraph in a book
written by John Davis, an Eng
lish traveller, who was in Wash
ington when the Sage of Monti-
cello became President. That
paragraph said:
''His (Jefferson's) dress was
of plain cloth, and he rode on
horseback to the Capitol without
a single guard, or even a servant
in his train, disnounted without
assistance and hitched the bride
of his horse to the palisades.
Davis evidently wrote that ac-
count from hearsay, rather than
from eyewitness evidence. For

IT TAKES place every four
l. years.
1t marks the end of one era
and the beginning of another in
our history.
1t is the symbol of a change
which may vitality affect the
lives and fortunes of millions of
Americans.
But, particularly, it is a col
orful, dramatic spectacle which,
more nearly than any other
event experienced in a democ-
racy, resembles the pomp and
pageantry of ancient customs.
For all these reasons, every
four years, the eyes of the Unit
ed States are conferred on
Washington, D. c., where a
new President is inaugurated
or the incumbent in the White
House takes the oath of Office
a second time.
Inauguration day this year will
be an historic event. The princi-
pal reason is this:
AS the result of the ratification
of the twentieth, otherwise known
as the Norris or 'lame duck"
amendment to the Constitution,
Inauguration day is being held
on January 20 instead of the
traditional March 4. So to Frank
lin Delano Roosevelt, exponent
of the New Deal" falls the
distinction of being the first Pres
ident to be indicted into office
under a new deal in Inauguration
days.
Washington weather, tradition
ally capricious, may be worse
on January 20 than it usually
has been on March 4. But cap
ital observers are wagering that
Roosevelt luck" which has in
cluded ''lucky breaks" when
weather conditions might affect
his career, will hold and that the
skies will smile on his second
Inauguration even more than they
did on his first.
Whether they are true prophets
in that respect remains to be
seen. But it is rather certain
that their prophecies in regard
to the size of the crowd which
will jam the streets of the capital
on this day of days in our ma
tional history will be accurate,
possibly erring only on the side
of an underestimate. Last No
vember Roosevelt was reelected
by the greatest vote of confidence
any American had received since
the time of George Washington.
A few days later he returned
to the capital and was acclaimed
by a crowd of 100000, an I'M
precedented tribute in blase and
ordinarily Unconditional Washing
ton. So there is every reason to
believe that January 20 will see
a hegira of Americans to Wash
ington which will break all pre-
vious records and a celebration
of the event in keeping with its
historic importance.
Of course, President Roosevelt
has expressed a desire for a
simple inauguration" He did
that when the question of plans
for the event were first preached.
But that doesn't mean that he
will have it. Other Presidents
have made the same request and
invariably it has not been grant
ed. For the American people, and
more particularly those of Wash
ington, want their "big show"
every four years and they usually
get it.
"Jeffersonian Simplicity"
The President not only asked
for a simple Inauguration" but
he is also reported to have said
that he favored "Jeffersonian
simplicity" The only difficulty
with that phrase is that the two

"PhilIips" Way
Thousands are Adopting

On every side today people are being
urged to aLkdlize their stomach. And
thus ease symptoms of "acid indiges-

To gain quick alkalization, Just do
this: Take two teaspoons of PHIL

minutes after eating. OR - take two
Phillips Milk of Magnesia Tablets,
which have the same antacid effect.
Relief comes almost at once -
usually in a few minutes. Nausea,

''acid indigestion" pains leave. You
feel like a new person.
Try this way. You'll be surprised
at results. Get either the liquid ''Phil-

guard. He couldn't very well re-
fuse such a request from these
venerable patriots so he accepted
their invitation and they sur
rounded him as he made his way
to the place where Chief Justice
Marshall was waiting to swear
him into Office.
Again history repeated itself.
For a Federalist Adams,-John
Quincy, this time-enraged over
defeat and smarting from the
lash Of campaign canards, again
refused to be present when his
Democratic successor took the
oath. But his absence probably
wasn't noticed by the people who
were there to shout themselves
hoarse for their idol, "Old Hick-
Dry" Jackson.
After the ceremony he started
to leave the Capitol and found
himself damned tight in a mob.
When a path was finally cleared
for him he mounted a horse and
started up the avenue for the
White House. Behind him
streamed the mob - some on
horses, others in carts or car
riages but most of them on foot.
Jacksonian Riot.
Arriving at the White House,
this throng staged one of the most
remarkable scenes in the history
of this country. Here is what
woman observer of that day
wrote about it:
The majesty of the people
had disappeared and a rabble,
mob of boys. negroes, women
and childr scrambling,
fighting, romping, took its
place. No arrangements had
been made, no police officers
placed on duty, and the whole
house had been inundated by
the mob.
Cut glass and china to the
amount Of several thousand dol
lars had been broken in the
struggle to get refreshments;
punch and other articles had
been carried out in tubs and
buckets, but had it been in
hogsheads it would have been
insufficient. Ladies tainted,
men were seen with bloody
noses.
The windows were thrown
open and tubs of liquor,
alias punch, placed outside,
and thus the house was cleared
of the mob. It was estimated
that 10000 persons composed
it."
If the Jackson Inauguration in
1929 was triumph for the peo-
pie, the Inauguration of a new
President in 1841 was another
and was accordingly, although
not so riotously, celebrated. I'm
der Van Buren,, Jackson's sue
cessor, the Democrats had "gone
high hat and the Wings, staging
their dizzy "hard cider and log
cabin" campaign, had elected
their frontiersman candidate, Gen.
William Henry Harrison. During
that campaign many marching
clubs had been formed and it had
been one of almost continuous
professions. .: 3.
So when it came time to in
duct Harrison into Office the
marching clubs were on hand
and there were so many of them
and so great was the enthusiasm
that they generated that after
they had finished escorting the
new President to the White House,
to which he rode on white
horse, they tramped up and down
Pennsylvania avenue for hours
afterwards. This was the begin
ming of the inaugural parade
idea, which steadily increased in
favor, especially after the Civil
war, and which has given the
pomp and pageantry flavor to
Inauguration day. It will, no
doubt, be much in evidence again
when Franklin D. Roosevelt takes
the oath of Office on January 20,
new date in the history of the
American Presidency.
