Th. great radio hook-up- s will make that possible. Just how many persons will be In his "audience" It Is Impossible to estimate, but th. number will run into the millions. This fact represents additional evidence of th. amazing growth of our nation during the 140 years that It has been ruled by a President elect-ed by the people. For It was just 140 years ago (lacking eight weeks) that George Washington became th. first President of the United States. That was on Thursday. April SO, 1789, and th. scene of the Inauguration was New York city, then th. capital of th. United States. A stage had been built on the steps of the federal building (where the present subtreasury building In Wall street now stands, and the Wasn-- Ington statu, there Is believed to Btand upon the exact spot where Washington stood when h. took oath of office). Th. first congress of the United States of America took Its place on th. stage. ,i Escorted by General Morgan Lewis, a distinguished figure ascended the steps the man who had led the Continental armies to victory and who bad been chosen tbe first leader In peaceGen. George Washington. A great cheer went up from the people who were watching th. scene. Then took place on. of thos. curious Incidents which often happen to mar the of historic occasions. Over th. throng came a mighty stillness and heads were bared: Chancellor Livingston was about to rise to administer the oath. Instead ha kept bis seat There followed a whispered conference with Gen. Jacob Morton, marshal of the day. At th. con-clusion,' General Morton hurried out Into th. street to the Old Coffee house at Wall and Water streets, the meeting place of St John's lodge of Masons, of which he was master. '! The marshal was absent only a few seconds, but when he returned h. was carrying an open Mule resting on a cushion 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 Book had been provided for the oath. Washington's second Inauguration, In Philadel-phia, was less spectacular than tbe first. When John Adams was inaugurated In the same city in 1797 Washington was the dominant figure. He was. retiring from public life, and the people had eyes only tor him. Many of them cried. Adams, notoriously vain and jealous, was much em-barrassed. Jefferson was the first President inaugurated at Washington, Despite the picturesque tradition of bis horseback ride to the Capitol, critical re-search discloses that the author of the Declara-tion of Independence did not ride. He went afoot If Tyler was thus Insulted as b. was leaving th. Whit. House, Polk, his successor, was also Insulted on his way to that mansion. He was th. first "dark horse" in American political his-tory and throughout the campaign his opponenU bad raised the derisive cry of "Who Is James K. Polkr As be drove to the White House after his inauguration, be beard that same cry from loafers along th. street Th. exceptional thing recorded for Polk's inauguration is that Morse brought bis te'egraph Instrument to the portico of the Capitol and transmitted news of the events to Baltimore. The most momentous and Impressive Inaugural parade that ever moved through the streets of Wsshington was when Lincoln first took office. Buchanan, an old man In swallow-taile- d coat hobbled along with Lincoln to the carriage. Lin-coln was attired In a new blark suit and a shining high hat. He carried a d cane. All the liquor saloons In tbe 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 Wash-ington. Between double files of cavalry the Presidential carriage moved along Pennsylvania avenue while soldiers marched In front and bphlnd. Itifllemen were stationed on roofs commanding the thorough-fare and cavalry guarded every approach to the Capitol. The Journey was made In safety. Stephen A. Douglas, Lincoln's life-lon- rival, held the hat of the new President as he read the Innugural. At Lincoln's second Inaugural procession there was shown a model of the Monitor, with Its tur-ret revolving and Its guns firing at intervals. A battalion of negro soldiers had an honorable place In the long procession. It bad been raining and the day was gloomy. As Lincoln was about to take the oath, however, the sun burst through the clouds, an omen which he said made his heart Jump. 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. Tbe day was clear, and the city was in gay attire. An account of the parade sold that "no such pageant ever before in time of peace was seen on Pennsyl-vania avenue." Perhaps the most Impressive of all Inaugura-tions was that of Theodore Roosevelt In 10O5. in that it was a sort of super-Wil- d West show, made so by the escort of his Rough Riders, the cow-boys, Indians, and other mounted men who rode up Pennsylvania avenue with him. More than 200.000 peop'e were In Washington for the cere-mony. The Inauguration of Taft offered the best argu-ment in favor of changing the traditional date of March 4 to a day later in the jear. On March 4, 19(S8, Washington wns burled under a snow storm and hundreds who were on their way to the capital were marooned. which was democratic enough. The historical rec-ord shows that be was escorted by a battery of artillery and that a salute of guns was fired as b. entered the CapItoL He took th. oath after making his address In th. senate chamber and then walked back to bis 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 Quincy Adams refused to attend tbe inauguration of bis successor, Andrew Jackson, the two men being on th. worst possible terms. Jsckson 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 the Capitol to see Jackson sworn In. Washington bad never beheld such a horde of visitors. Jackson and Van Buren rode together from the - White House to the Capitol In 1837 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: According to custom, th Inaacural program cam la an end with a reception at th Whit House; and arrangemente were mad to entertain a large number of Folic control, however, proved wholly Inadequate, and when th throng- - that fol-lowed th President up the Avenue reached the executive grounds it engulfed the mansion and poured In by windows aa well aa doora, until th reception rooms were packed to aufforatlon. Other guests, bidden and unbidden "statesmen and atabl boys, fin ladles and washerwomen, white people and blacks" continued for hour to besiege th door. "I never saw auch a mliture," recorded Judge ' Story; "th reign of King Mob seemed triumphant. I waa glad to escape from th scene aa soon as possible." Th President, too, after being Jostled for an hour, very willlngty mad his war by a sid entrance to the street and thence to hla hotel. A profualon of refreehments, Including barrela of orange punch, had been provided, and an attempt to serve the guests led to a veritable saturnalia. Walters emerging trom doors with loaded tray were born to th floor by the crush; china and glassware were smashed; gallons of punch were spilled on th carpets; in their eagerness to be aerved men tn muddy boats leaped upon the damask-covere- d chairs, overturned tables, and brushed bric-a-br- from mantles and walla. "It would hav don Mr. Wllberforce's heart good." write a cynical obaerver, "to hav seen a atout black wench eating In this free country a jelly with a gold apoon at th President s house." Only when aome thoughtful person directed that tuba of punch b placed here and thr on th lawn waa th congestion Indoor relieved. When It waa all over, th Whit House resembled a plgaty. "Sev-eral thousand dollars' worth of broken china and cut glasa and many bleeding nosea atteated to the flerceneea of th etrugijle." It waa th people' day and It waa of no avail for fastidious Adamaltes to lift their eyebrows In rldlcul or acorn. Help Kidneys 6y Drinking More Water Bait, to Flush Kidneys and ITsk.

UTAH LEGISLATURE Practically half of the session fit the 1939 Legislature 'Is over and the body has had about 300 bills Introduc-ed for consideration.. Several important matters were brought forward last week, amonif these were six measures passed by the tienute, recommended by tbe atute code comnil.sHlon for repealing dpad timber from the statute books. Some ot these laws which th bills would repeal have been declared unconsti-tutional, while others never have been effective, and appropriations have lap-sed back Into the general fund. These laws deal with licensing peddlers, a homo for fallen women, setting a tax on trading stumps, providing n minimum wage for females, and tbe Utah soldier settlement law. Governor Pern's headless ballot act came to the house in a IU1 bv Crump, Jr., of Salt Lake, providing for the abolishing of the party em-blems at tbe top of the election bal-lots and making voting strictly by of-fice. The Boulder Dam Is still a rallying point for the speech makers with ' a portion of the present week to be de-voted to ways and means of Utah adopting a stand of some kind on the plan. Some eighty members of the body paid a visit to southern Utah over the week end and found among other things a very low temperature and nip-ping breezes. An attempt to rectify the unconsti-tutionality of Utah's corporation law was made In a bill Introduced Into the bouse. The measure provides for the licensing and certification of do-mestic and foreign corporations by the secretary of state at the same rate as the present law but restricts the license tax to apply only on capital stock used within the state. A bill has been Introduced providing for the licensing of aircraft and air-men. The law would extend the lia-bility of an aircraft owner or operat-or to include Injury to other operat-ors as well as passengers. Aircraft operated In the state must oe licensed by the United States department of commerce. A bill establishing old age pensions has passed the house after a real at-tack and defense on the part of the defenders and antagonist of the measure, I Doubling the present assessment on netallfcrous 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 sim-ilar nature. One bill would extend the tax mans activities to . A 15 per cent tax to apply to the retail price ot all tobacco products Is the rate proposed In the nicotine net. A bill now In the house proposes to divide each county Into population districts corresponding to the number of representatives from the county and that one representative be se-lected by the voters of each district Much discussion followed a di-vided report by the educational com-mittee on the constitutional amend-ment measure which increases ths state school fund to, 50 per child and establishes an equalizing fund t $5 per child. The uniform veterans' law relating to the guardianship of Incompetent veterans and their min-or children passed the house without a dissenting vote. Four bills arranging enactment of Utah motor legislation uniform with similar legislation of other states have been offered. The plans offered by these bills provide a uniform regis-tering of motor vehicles and .requires public liability Insurance on rented cars, also proposes registering of titles for motor vehicles and regulat-es operatelon of cars on the highways and provides for licensing the car drivers.
