It was a gloomy day, and a leeling as if something was go ing to happen seemed to possess everxone, so much so that it was opeiil and freely expressed. Ii. tore he bad scarcely conclud ed his address the rain came down in a steady downpour and dispers ed the crowd about the capitol, and the parade following the cere mony was almost disbanded in a wav because oi it. The fatality that cut short the term of McKin ley, the good and noble president, was onh another link in the chain of corteiits that seemed to fasten llMi belief stronger in the minds of the people here. Then came the second indue, lion into office of Theodore Hooseveit on March 4. 1905, he having completed th unfinished term of William McKinley previ ously .alter the death of the presi dent. The day was rather dark and heavy, and although the eun tried to sh:ne it had rather a hard t me doing so. until late in Ihe aft- moon. 1 d d not witness the ad miiiisti ation of the oath to Presi dent Roosevelt, but had a seat along ihe line of March on Penn sylvania avenue. The parade was rather a lively one and full of pep" as we say now-a-days. It was one that met the strenuous ideas of the new president and Was Ihoroushb enjoyed by everybody. The oid Indian scout Geronimo, leading a band of his thibe was one or the features of this parade, and drew a long and boistrous demonstrat on from the crowd along the linci of march. Vigor Marks Inaugural There was much noise, clapping of hands, balloon, and waving of Hags almost continually on this day, from the time that the pro cession, led by the president in a carriage, left the capitol for the White House, where he, after luncheon in the White House, as Is the custom, took his place in a stand in front of the mans on to review the troops and view the other features of the inaugural pa rade, as they emerged from the "court of honor which usually cov ers the space fronting the execu tive mansion along the avenue. The induction of Theodore Roosevelt into office was just such a demonstration as was pleasing to the young and vigorous man of those days, and fully met with his approval. It was a glorious day and ushered a strenuous but successful period of prosperity for the nation. After the sirenuosity of the Roosevelt regime came the calm serenity of the Taft administra tion, which, true to the same omen set by the weather, did not long remai serense scarcely 24 hours by the clock, for there had been a "tiff" between the out-going and in-coming administrations, and there was much said but little understood as to just what it was all about. The Taft inaugural day has be come historic, for it was the very worst inaugural day In all history, and cannot be forgotten by any one who experiesced the inclem ency of it. For many weeqs prior to the fourth of March the sun had been sh ning clear and warm ev. ery day; the small magnolias were already beginning to fade after weeks of continuous blossoming; the Kardens were redolent with rich bloom, and everything seemed alive to the beauty of the early springtime until the early morn ng of the fourth of March when we were awakened along in the wee small hours, before the dawn, and forced to seek more blankets and were more than surprised to see that a fall of snow had be eun and the wind was blowing fiercely. In fact we were being treated to a really, truly "bllz '.ard" which did not have to take i back seat along with other bliz zards that had previously attain ed fame. It wa a solid "freezer," ;ure enough. We were thankful that w had a good warm tire to it by, and satisfied to look out of .he window for the better part of the day. Just to see the wild fury of the storm. Hut later went town opposite the White House ind watched the review of the pa rade by the new president. Just is President Taft left the review ing stand, in front of the mansion, the sun burst through the clouds ind shone out clear, as if to tan talize after all the storm of the lay that made such havoc, and as responsible for much suffer-1 ng and Illness among the visitors :o the capitol. On this occasion a :ood many thousands of visitors i ?ot into the ra lroad station here tnd were Torced to remain there ind go home without ever setting foot in the city so great was the aftermath of the blizzard that it tad the city in its grip for six or inni novirs, ana nad laid waste nuch of the surrounding country. President Taft did not have a oeacefuj term of off ce. and no louot was glad to shift the resoon- ubility of the cares of the nation into other shoulders. Wilon Inaugural Keen.'

The fir?t inaugural of Wood row Wilson was attended with a erv great display of enthusiasm ind i.iany preparations for "Keel ing ,-jny previous records .n the' way of spectacular electric light ng features, and thi success of 'he effort was conceded, even by h enemy ths Republicans. The day was propitious. A little "muggy." but comfortably warm, however, with the sun trying, ip shine through tho murky atmos phere, and succeeding somewhat. in company wnn oiuero viewed the ceremonies from the roof of the rapitol and had au xcellent vantage point. The crowd wa.4 large, enthusiastic and hopeful of much good for the fu ture under the guidance of Wood row Wilson. Xt the close of the ceremony that made him the president of the I'nited States he btld an informal reception frcm the inaugural stand, reaching down to shake bands with the thousands who quickly gathered around him. It was a politic affld diplomatic move and won the ap- P'ause of the people, and was fol lowed up a few days later by trie eftablishment of tho ''open door" policy which later materialized onlv in actual practice as the most securely locked, bolted and police guarded door that had ever existed in all the history of the country, and so continued to be tij lit closed and barred to the end of the troublous reign of President Wilson. Wilson Iteady for War. At the second inauguration of Woodrow Wilson the preparations for a big time far surpassed in extravagance and elegance the previous one, in spite jof the fact that he had already (so it has been said and proven, according to well authenticated reports) prepared for a long and bitter war. and had actually contracted for many of the munitions of war, except as to the actual signing of the contracts themselves, even while he was being voted for by the people "to keep us out of war." It would seem that dis play and love of plaudits by the masses had a large place In his nakeup. and that even foresee ing as no one else could at that time, the blight that soon would strike us. he evidently approved and enjoyed the lavish waste of the people's money expended without a thought as to results in very striking contrast to the attitude of Warren G. Harding's avowed policy for the inaugural Just celebrated. The passing of the extravagant display for the Inaugural of a president of the United States has possibly established a prece dent that will be followed in the future of our country. It is far more impressive to bestow honor to ths present incumbent in a manner that befits the establish ed policy of our democratic coun try, that has risen from a hum ble origin to the greatest and wealthiest nation in the whole world. So was the simple induc tion service of this inauguration showing the honor and accord of a grateful nation of American, cit izens paying homage to their se lected chieftain; listening in rapt attention to the every word of his masterful address, as it was carried by the amplifier distinct ly and clearly, even to th dis tance of a mile, with every accent of his voice accurately recorded, a tribute to be long remembered. No display of rank, or of mili tary or civil power, could have Imparted; the wholesome lesson of Americanism that was thus in stilled, and no honor could have been more impressively demon strated than was shown on this day. As the gates of the White House were thrown open to per mit the entrance of the carriage of President and Mrs. Harding, as the occupants of the mansion for the cominr four veara. ntl as it had passed through, they did not ciose again quickly as has been the practice of recent years, but remained wide open, and the guards wiled away, never more to prevent the free and American privilege of an entrance Into the home of every citizen of all these "free and equal United States" the residence of the president of the entire nation.

Advertising irresistible I FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL series of archways built across fhe avenue in front of the Whire House, and sometimes is extend ed several hundreds of ya,rds in length, which entire distance is electrically illuminated in fantas tic pieces, and forms an exceeding ly pleasing aspect. It is the "srTow feature" of each inaugural festivity and is frequently left for many weeks afler ihe inaugura tion for visitors to Bee and ad mire. This was the case at the time of the second inauguration of President Wilson, when a court of honor had been constructed which surpassed in beauty and ele. made before for a similashdrluet gance and htat had ever been made before for a similar occas ion, or perhaps for any occasion in the caDital city, for that matter. It was a thing of beauty and a "joy forever" to remember, so It was decided to allow it to rmair even longer than usual, and Pres ident Wilson featured his famous "preparedness paradt" to be staged before it should be re moved, which took place on flag day. This parade was the big one of the Wilson administration, possitily excepting the Pershing parade, which was strictly mili tary, of course. On Flag day tht president re quested that the various depart ments of the government should b closed, and that the clerks par ticipate in the line of march and they did without question, but. personally. I was a little averse to marching two miles in the boil ing hot sun (and it WAS bolllnic hot), so I donned my especially prepared "costume" as per order?, and proceeded towards the point of asstmbly, some two miles dis tant from my home and no street cars running but my en thusiasm waned and I found my seir stationed In Lafayette square, directly opposite the beginning of the court of honor and remained there to watch the rest march by. when some of the sections of Confederate societies approached the archway they, as if by pro arranged plan, (which it undoubt edly was), gave a peculiar "call" or "yell" the same being an swered from the president's stand at the other end of the court, and at once my mind reverted to tho descriptions I had often neara given of the famous "rebel yell" of Civil war days, which In very truth this yell was. It was given repeatedly at this Juncture, and as often answered from the presi dent's stand and talk about yo-ir hair standing on end! You bet ter think it was no joke, for I had the experience right then and there and I shall never forget it, you may believe. CJIory Short XAvoil It was freely tamed at that time that this was staged to start a boom for the third term of of fice for President Wilson but war (for us) had only begun and the Dresident was then in the height of his mental and physical vigor; alas for the time th.tt leaves Its stamp on the human form! And no man can say that the years may not destroy all his best laid plans, whether or no. But this Is a diversion from my subject. The preparedness parade has passed into history, and the glory of President Wilson as exhibited and fully established at that time, without a question of a doubt has also passed into his tory to be Judged, by the gener ations yet unborn, with no preju dice, perhaps, from the bitter wrangling and enmities of the troublous times through which we have passed since that memor- I aDlt dav (The address of Mrs. Williams is 1743 P street.

I all V.I F THERE IS one enterprise on earth that a "quitter" should leave severely alone, it is advertising. To make a success of advertising one must be prepared to stick like a barnacle on a boat's bottom. He should know before he begins it that he must spend money lots of it Somebody must tell him that he cannot hope to reap re sults commensurate with his expenditure early in the game. j Advertising does not jerk; it pulls. It begins very gently at first, but the pull is steady. It increases day by day and year by year, until it exerts an irresistible power.
