The great radio hook up will make that possible. Just how many persons will be in his - "audience" it is Impossible to estimate, but .the number will run Into the millions. This fact represents additional evidence of the amazing growth of our nation during the years that it has been ruled by a President elected by the people. For it was Just 140 years ago '(lacking eight weeks) that George Washington became the first President of the United States. That was on Thursday, April 30, 1789, and the ucene of the inauguration was New Tork city, then the capital of the United States. A stage had been built on the steps of the ifederal building (where the present subtreasury building in Wall street now stands, and the Washington statue there Is believed to stand upon the esnct fpotjwhere Washington stood when he took oath of tiffice). The first congress of the United Plates of America took its place on the stage. Escorted ' by General Morgan Lewis, a distinguished figure ascended the steps the man who had led the Continental armies to victory end who had been chosen the first leader in .eace Gen. George Washington. A great cheer went up from the people who were watching the pcene, Then took place one- - of those curious incidents which often happen" to mar the f Lhlctorlc occasions. Over' the throng came a mighty stillness and heads were bared : Chancellor : Livingston was about to rise to administer (be oath. Instead he kept his seat There followed a whispered conference with Gen. Jacob Morton, marshal of the day.. At the conclusion,. General Morton hurried out Into the street to. the Old Coffee bouse at Wall and Wuter utreets, the meeting place of St. John's lodge of ' Masons, of which' he was master.'' few seconds, The marshal was absent only but when he returned he was carrying an open Ulble resting on a ruRhlon of crimson velvet, the altar of St. John's lodge. Then it was known to those on the platform at least! that while the other details had been carried out, no Sacred I'.ook had been ' provided for . the oath. , rresIdont-EIec- t i nTTl . Washington's second inauguration. ""' West Point Cadets In the 7 " : gpiS"-"'- In Philadel- phia, was less spectacular than the first. When John Adams wss inaugurated in the same city in 1797 Washington was the dominant figure. He was retiring from public life, and the people had ryes only for him. Many of thera cried. Adams, notoriously vain and Jealous,, was much embarrassed. Jefferson was the first President inaugurated t; Washington. Despite the picturesque tradition of Ms horseback ride to the Capitol, critical research discloses that the author of the Declare-tlo- n of Independence did not ride. He went afoot, k, 7'. I f, V4 -- ilsClr f'iJ I March 4, 1845. He Intended to go by steamer, but arrived at the wharf Just as the boat was leaving. Some one called out to the captain: "Walt a minute l Here's President Tyler wants to go with you 1" But the captain shouted back: "Who the Is Tyler? I don't know him." And he steamed away without waiting for the fxAmf ?fa ' HARRIS Wilson andTaft which was democratic enough. The historical record shows that he was escorted by a battery of artillery and that a salute of guns was fired as he entered the Capitol He took the oath after making his address In the senate chamber and then walked back to his lodgings. The Installation of James Madison in 1809 was attended by much more ceremony than attended the inauguration of Jefferson. The day was ushered in with salutes of cannon. Madison rode to the Capitol in a richly appointed carriage, escorted by troops of militia. John Qulncy Adams refused to attend the inauguration of his successor, Andrew Jackson, the two men being on the worst possible terms. Jackson was in Washington for two weeks before his Inauguration, but didn't go near Adams. Frontiersmen, Indian fighters and thousands of humble citizens crowded around Capitol to see Jackson sworn in. Washington bad never beheld such a horde of visitors. d te gold-heade- d Jackson and Van Buren rode together from the White House to the Capitol in 1S37 In a phaeton made from the timbers of the old frigate Con- stitution. It was what took place after the inauguration, however, which made this one perhaps the most remarkable In American history. It is described by Frederick Austin Ogg In "The Reign of Andrew Jackson" In the Yale University Press' "Chron- icles of America" as follows: If Tyler was thus Insulted as he was leaving the White House, Polk, his successor, was also Insulted on his way to that mansion. He was the first "dark horse" In American political history and throughout the campaign his opponents had raised the derisive cry of "Who Is James K. Tolk?" As he drove to the White House after his inauguration, he heard that same cry from loafers along the street The exceptional thing recorded for Polk's Inauguration is that Morse brought his telegraph instrument to the portico of the Capitol and transmitted news of the events to Baltimore. The most momentous and impressive inangural parade that ever moved through the streets of Washington was when Lincoln first took office. coat, Buchanan, an old man in swallow-tailehobbled along with Lincoln to the carriage. Lincoln was attired in a new black suit and a shining cane. All the high hat. He carried a liquor saloons In the city had been ordered closed, and careful plans had been made to thwart any attempt at assassination and prevent disorder among the thousands of hostile persons In Washington. Between double files of cavalry the Presidential carriage moved along Pennsylvania avenue while soldiers marched In front and behind, nifilemen were stationed on roofs commanding the thoroughfare and cavalry guarded every approach to the Capitol. The Journey was made In safety. Stephen g A. Douglas, Lincoln's rival, held the hat of the new President as he read the Inaugural. At Lincoln's second Inaugural procession there was shown a model of the Monitor, with Its turret revolving and its guns firing nt Intervals. A battalion of negro soldiers had an honorable place in the long procession. It had been raining and the day wns gloomy. As Lincoln was about to take the oath, however, the sun burst through the clouds, an omen which be said made his heart . life-lon- According to cimtom, the Inaugural proirrtm earn to an end with a reception at the White House; and arrangements were made to entertain a larg-number of gueRta. Police control, howe-er- , proved wholly Inadequate, and when the throng- - that followed the President up the Avenue reached the eiecutlve grounds It engulfed the mansion and poured In by windows as well as doora, until the reception rooms were parked to sufToratlon. Other guests, bidden and unbidden "statesmen and stable boya, One ladle and washerwomen, white people and blacks" continued for hour to besiege the doors. "I never saw such a mixture," recorded Judge Btory; "the reign of King Mob seemed triumphant. I was glad to escape from the scene as soon as possible." The President, too, after being jostled for an hour, very willingly made his way by a aide entrance to the street and thence to his hotel. A profusion of refreshments, Including barrels of orange punch, had been provided, and an attempt to aerve the guest led to a veritable saturnalia. Walters emerging from door with loaded tray were born to the floor by the crush; china and glassware were smashed; gallons of punch were spilled on the carpets; In their eagerness to be served men in muddy boats leaped upon the damask-covere- d chairs, overturned tables, and from mantles and wall. "It brushed would have don Ur. Wllberforce' heart good." write a cynical observer, "to have seen a stout black wanch eating In this free country a Jelly with a gold spoon at the President' house."

Grover Cleveland's first Inauguration marked the return of the Democratic party to power after an absence of a quarter of a century, and there was great enthusiasm. The day wag clear, and the city was In gny attire. An account of the parade said that "no such pagennt ever before in time of pence was seen on Pennsylvania avenue." Terhnps the most Impressive of all inaugurations was that of Theodore Roosevelt In 1905, In that It was a sort of show, made so by the escort of his Rough Riders, the cowboys, Indians, and other mounted men who rode up Pennsylvania avenue with him. More than 200,000 people were In Washington for the ceresuper-Wild'We- mony. The inauguration of Taft offered the best argument In favor of changing the traditional date of March 4 to a day later In the year. On March 4, 1908, Washington wns burled under a sncw storm and hundreds who were on iheV way (a ' the capital were marooned. ' . Castorla Is a comfort when Baby t fretful.

An attempt to rectify the unconstitutionality of Utah's corporation law was made in a bill introduced into the house. The measure provides for the licensing and certification of domestic and foreign corporations by the secretary of state at the same rate as the present law but restricts the license tax to apply only ou capital stock used within the state. A bill has been Introduced providing for the licensing of aircraft and airmen. The law would extend the liability of au aircraft owner or operator to include Injury to other operators as well as passengers. Aircraft operated in the state must be licensed of by the United States department coiunerce. A bill establishing old age pensions has passed the house after a real attack and defense on the part of the .defenders and antagonists of the measure. Doubling the present assessment on netaliferous mines, taxing the stockholders of building and loan companies, and extending the present cigaret tax to include all forms of tobacco are the features of several new bills. The Utah law now does not assess stockholders of banks and does not apply to investment houses, building and loan and other concerns of a similar nature. One bill would extend the tax mans activities to such holdings. A 15 per cent tax to apply to the retail price of all tobacco products is the rate proposed In the nicotine act. A bill now in the bouse proposes to divide each county into population districts corresponding to the number of representatives from the county and that one representative be selected by the voters of each district.
