Time-Honored Climax to Inaugura

a General Reception.
"Washington Dispatch, 20th.
The time-honored inaugural ball,
the climax of ceremonies incident to
the inauguration of Presidents of the
llnited States, will not be tftven this
3rar-. In compliance with President
elect Wilson's wishes, the inaugural
committee at a special meting to
day, unanimously decided to eliminate
The committee also decided a public
a-eception at the capitol or elsewhere,
suggested by Governor Wilson as a
.substitute for the inaugural ball, was
mot within its jurisdiction and if one
;is held Congress must appropriate
and make necessary arrangements for
it. The committee took the position
that the proposed reception would be
purely a governmental function, un
ler control of the joint Congressional
inaugural committee. In a resolution
adopted, however, the committee an
nounced that it would co-operate in
every way possible with all arrange
ments for the successful inauguration
of the President-elect.
Governor Wilson's wish, in the
event of there being a public recep
tion on March 4th, is that Mrs. Wil
son and the Misses Wilson should not
be expected to attend. This informa
tion was conveyed to the inaugural
committee having in charge the inau
gural ceremonies.
Wilson Suggests Reception
Trenton, N. J., Dispatch, 20th.
President-elect Wilson today for
mally suggested to William E. Eustis,
chairman of the inaugural committee,
that a popular receptiqn m the Capi
tol building at Washington be substi
tuted for the inaugural ball.
Mr. Wilson this morning had re
ceived a telegram from Mr. Eustis
assuring him that the inaugural com
mittee would comply with his wishes
with respect to the abandonment of
the inautriiral ball. A letter also came
asking the President-elect for sug
gestions. "I suggested for their considera-
tion," said Mr. Wilson, "a general re
ception in the rotunda of the Capitol."
Mr. Wilson said he expected the
details to be worked out by the corn
committee, but reiterated that the en
tire programme of the ianuguration
be made "as simple as is consistent
with dignity and order."
To Put An End to Trusts and Mono
polies Under New Jersey Laws.
Trenton, N. J., Dispatch, 20th.
President-elect Wilson today reach
ed what he considers the climax of
his programme of reform as Governor
of New Jersey. Sevep bills, making
for the most extensive revision of the
corporation laws in the history of the
State, were introduced tonight in the
State Legislature.
"These acts are designed to put an
end to trusts and monopolies under
the laws of New Jersey," declared
Governor Wilson in a prepared state
ment describing the measures, "and I
confidently predict that they will ac
complish that much-desired result."
Though the principle of the bills,
which seek to prevent monopoly, un
derselling in local markets, mergers,
Electoral Returns Slow Coming in
Must be in by January 27.
Washington Dispatch, JDth.
To comply with the law it wJl ni
necessary for all the States to tret all
their electoral returns tc Washington
by the beginning of next week.
The requirement is that all the re
turns shall be in the hands of the
president of the Senate by Monday,
January 27, and a warning was sent
out from the offices of the president
of the Senate that if the reports were
not received by that date the States
failing would be in danger of losing
their votes.
Ud to the close of business last
night only 15 States had reported by
messenger and 35 by mail. States are
required to report their votes by both
methods.
Not only does the law provide that
States failing to get in their votes on
time may be deprived of their votes,
but it operates so as to cause messen
gers to lose the mileage pay allowed
them for bringing the votes to Wash
ington. This is 25 cents a mile, one
way, and is a considerable item in
cases of men coming from far dis
tant States.
The imposition of penalties is op
tional with the presiding officer of
the Senate and never has been exercised-,
but ordinarily the returns
have coirn -in more promptly than in
the present year.

How io Teach a Child to Be Truth
ful. In the February Woman's Home
Companion appears, in the "House
hold Problem" department, the fol
lowing letter from a subscriber:
"My little Marie, five years old,
tells me remarkable stories, which
are evidently untrue. How shall I
teach her the difference between truth
and falshood?"
The editor of the department makes
the following answer:
"The line between truth and false
hood is not an obvious one at all times
when people are fifty, and a child of
hve should be pardoned if she does
not see it plainly. Little children live
in a wonder-world, lhey have vivid
imaginations. Half the time thev are
dwelling in a fairy-story. Pay no at
tention to extraordinary statements
made by Marie, if they have nothing
to do with ill temper or naughtiness.
The way to make a child truthful is
always to speak the truth to the child
Added to this it is well never to doubt
child, but to accept whatever the
child may tell you as perfectly true.
A child should not know that there is
such a thing as a lie in the world."
