ARTHUR P. WALKER

It fitting that the meeting of the Territorial Senate should adjourn for the first time in honor of the late Senator Arthur P Walker.
 The fact that the motion was madesby Senator Normal Walker and the tribute delivered from the floor in behalf of the late Senator by Senator Cochran, speaks well for the good qualities of statesnanslip in both of these veteran legislators Those who at tendedmeetings of the Senate in 1943 will remember that on numerous occasions both Senator Norman Walker and Senator Cochran found themselves in opposition to those of the late Senator
 However these differences, though they were serious at the time set aside yesterday for few moments while the Senate honored the memory of the Senator who would been seated with them yesterday if he had lived another year.

 T told this story in some detail" President Harding told friends, and by the time I had finished I was relieved to see that we had almost reached the Capitol"
 When George Washington was inaugurated he had to borrow $3,000 to pay off his debts and for the expense of his trip from Mt. Vernon to New York Like Jefferson, Andrew Jackson tried to walk from his hotel to the Capitol. He was swept off his feet by en- thusiastic admirers who saw him walking bare-headed down the street Jackson's inauguration was the first ever held before the public <, Martin Van Buren rode to the Capitol in a phaeton built of wood from the U. s.

 William Henry Harrison, "Old Tippicanoe, caught cold at his inaugural and died one month later When James K. Polk was inaugurated, Samuel B. Morse set up his magnetic telegraph on the portico of the Capital and flashed a running account to the country of what happened Polk was one of the few who refused to run for a second time If it had not been for red tape, FDR's inauguration might have made history by being televisioned. ... Franklin Pierce was inaugu- rated just a day or two after his son had been killed in a railroad wreck.
 Abraham Lincoln's second in- auguration was in a wartime at mosphere somewhat similar to that of last Saturday. The Capital was filled with wounded. Grave fears were held for Lincoln's life and extraordinary precautions were taken by the police. It was a rainy

HARDING AND WILSON

One of the most trying trips to the Capitol for any President was that pf Woodrow Wilson with President-elect Warren G. Hard ing. Wilson was crushed mentally and physically by the defeat, of his League of Nations. He was partly sparalyzed, but insisted on riding with Harding to the Capitol Harding told friends he was em- barrassed and did not know what he should say during the ride up Pennsylvania Avenue.
 Wilson, however, broke the ice by remarking that this was the first time the President-elect had discarded a team of horses to ride to the Capitol in an automobile This led to g conversation about animals.
 T suppose" remarked Wilson with a. smile, your favorite ami mai is the elephant"
 T told him." Harding recounted to friends later that it was, but not for political reasons. then told him a story about a sister of mine who lived in Siam as mis- sionarys and had pet elephant This beast had been kept by my sister for years, in fact for most of her life. Upon my sisters death in Siam, the elephant would not eat and was most unhappy. This continued for days. Finally the elephant crouched on my sisters grave, raised its trunk in the air,

day: but suddenly as Lincoln step- ped to the platform to deliver the address which was to become an important part of history the sun broke out When Gen. Ulysses s. Grant was inaugurated the capi- tai was filled with veterans of the Civil War The cheers were deaf |ening. His little daughter, fright ened, ran to her father and clutch ed his arm. Grant took her hand and held it while he continued reading his manuscript.
 Grover Cleveland escorted Will liam Mckinley back, to, the White House after the inauguration. Later he wrote: T was, glad when MT. Mckinley came to Washington to Joe inaugurated i've. l took a drink lof rye whiskey with him, put on my hat and walked out a private citizen" ..;. When Teddy Roose- welt was inaugurated, Secretary of State John Hay sent him locket containing a lock of Lincoln't hair. \. William Howard Taft was in augurated in the worst blizzard in history. The Secret Service men had laid out gray trousers and cutaway coats the night before, but changed them to boots the next morning. Snow tied up transporta- ton all over the country |. When Wilson was sworn in, he leaned over the railing and told the sol- diers: Remove the ropes and let the people come in" The Secret Service, who suffer agonies at every inaugural, never forgave him.
 Pickpockets used to have a field day at inaugurals. They came to
 Washington from miles around. In Jackson's day, newspapers fea- tured stories of the largest single pickpocket's take totaling $900 Today known crooks are arrested on suspicion, but there is still a certain amount of petty thieving Inaugural weather, tradition ally bad, caught Grover Cleveland and Benjamin Harrison, who de- feated him, in a virtual cloud- burst as they started up Pennsyl- vania Avenue. Neither had an um- brella. Turning to new Secretary of the Treasury Charles s. Fairchild Cleveland said: Lend us your um- brella. We are all honest men and will return it." T am not SC sure of that" replied Fairchild but I will have to trust you. Roosevelt is the only man who has received a salary cut while President. He lost $8,835.64 of pay for 43 days of work, as a result of having the inauguration moved from March to January 20. However, considering the num- Der of years he has served, he should be able to afford it.

on how sore the American photographers are at

enough in its own right, but apparently it
thought O'Donnell had gone too far on the racial
angle.
Why shouldn't Negro and Oriental newspaper
men have press credentials? Will the o Donnels

failed to teach them that we all have TO live in
