Comrade," Mr. Taft will be honored
by an attendance at the Inaugural cer
emonies of as great a military force as
that which marched In parade behind
President Roosevelt. In keeping with
the essentially peaceful and civic char
acter of the Incoming president, the In
dustrial and civilian feature of the pa

extensive and Imposing than ever he

The sergeants-at-arms of the senate
and the bouse will lead the stately

they have arrived at the front of the

the oath of office, following which the

be-unusually brief. From the stand
the president will descend a flight of
steps to his carriage and drive Imme
diately to the White House, whore be
may snatch a brief luncheon before
taking his place In the stand.
There will be a Blight change this
year In the order of the progress of the
president, the president elect and the
vice president and the vice president
elect to the capitol. In view of the close
relations of Senator Lodgefto the pres
ident he will rIdeMn the carriage with
the president and the president elect,
as will also Senator Knox, who as
chairman of the committee on ar
rangements is the personal escort of
the executive. The vice president will
have as escort Senator Bacon and Rep
resentatives Burke and Gaines, while
the vice president elect will be accom
panied by Senator Frye, the president
pro tempore of the senate, and Repre
sentative Young. Heretofore only one
senator has accompanied the two chief
figures in the ceremonies. .
T' " Ball a National Function.
Always a pleasing and picturesque
feature, it is proposed to make the in
augural ball of 1909 something more
a great national function "Of supreme
Interest and significance. It will take
the form of a reception by President
Taft and Vice I President Sherman to
the country at large. Each Btate in
the Union will be officially represented
on the floor by one of Its distinguished
sons, whose mission It will be to co
operate officially in the presentation of
the visitors from here, there and ev
erywhere to the great men of the na
tion who will be in attendance.
Gist Blair, whose father, Montgom
ery Blair, was postmaster general In
the cabinet of President 'Lincoln, is
chairman of the committee In charge
of the inaugural ball and has so plan
ned the event as to bring the entire
Union through the forty-six states lnjto
direct and active participation in the
function. '
"Washington is a national: city, a
city belonging to the country," Chair
man Blair, said In discussing the ball
arrangements. "It is our desire that
all who come to the Inauguration and
there promises to be the biggest at
tendance In the history of these af
fairsshould feel that Incoming to
the national capital they are coming to
their own city. v
"The ball will be essentially and dis
tinctively national. A representative
from each state has been designated
as a member of the inaugural ball
committee. .These gentlemen will
know many of the people who come
from their respective states and will
see that they are properly introduced
to the statesmen and their wives and
other distinguished visitors. Thus it
is hoped to bring the forty-six states
Into close touch with the national cap
ital on this memorable occasion."

Presidential Inangurations
From Washington to Lincoln
All the Wty Prom JefTronUn simplicity
to the Pomp end State of Modern Tlmee.
URIXO tha early years of the
governaaeBt, before tb capital
was DOTsd to Wahtnjton, th
tndactloQ of a prealdent al
though a ceremony of great dignity
and solemnity, was a very smati and
elect affair.
In New Tork for nearly a fortnight
preceding the great day of April X
1789, every tavern and boarding hooe
had been thronged with vloltor, and
on the .day before the Inauguration
ry private bouse waa filled with
guests from all parts of tha Union.
In the center of tbs procaasion, pra.
ceded by the senate and followed by
ropreaentatlvsa. walked Georaa -Waah-lngton.
On reaching Federal halt the
troops formed a Una on each aids ot
the way, through which the president,
with his attendants, was conducted to
INAUQUEATI0N CEO WD
the chamber of the senate, where the
representatives had assembled a . few
minutes before, and at the door the
Tics president received him and at
tended him to the chair.
The vtc president then said, "Sir,
the senate and the house of represent
atives are ready to attend you to take
the oath, required by the constitution,
which will be administered by the
Btate of New York." The president
answered, "I a m ready to proceed.,,
The ' vice president- and the senators
led the way, and, followed by tbe rep
resentatives, Washington walked to
the outside gallery, overlooking both
Wall and Broad streets, which were
filled with a sea of upturned fatfes.
Washington first official act was to
attend service in old St. Paul's.
The second inauguration of Presi
dent Washington took place In Inde
pendence hall, at Philadelphia, on
March 4. 1792.
On March 4. 1797. John Adams was
Inaugurated president of the United
States in the old ststebouse at Phila
delphia. Although the day was favor
able; there was no parade or gathering
of a large assemblage. .
Although the generally accepted ac
counts -of Jefferson's Inauguration
make It appear that he rode to the cap
itol on horseback without attendance
and that the ceremony .was of - the
simplest kind, a newspaper of the day
states that "on this day President
Elect Jefferson .was escorted from his
lodgings to'tbs capitol by a body of
mUltia and a procession of citizens."
Jefferson's seond Inauguration on
March 6, 1S03, was simpler. If possible,
than his first
A Ceremonious Occasion.
Tbe Inauguration of James Madison
was the first ceremony "which was
made a great occasion. The day was
ushered in by a federal salute, and at
an early hour the volunteer corps of
jhlUtla began to assemble. So great
was .the crowd that the oath of office
waa administered in the old hall of
representatives, now statuary, hall, at
the capitol. For the first time In tbe
history of Inangurations the various
branches of tbe government were ush
ered. Into the hall wlth ceremonious
pomp and parade.
James Madison was inanattrnted tbe.
second time on March 4, 1813. ne had
a military escort, and tbe ceremonies
to the bouse of representatives were
similar to those of his first inaugura
tion. In tbe evening there was an In
auguration ball at Davis hotel, which
is now the Metropolitan.
The 4th of March, 1817, was a beau
tiful day, and there waa a large crowd
to witness the inauguration ceremo
nies. The - president elect and -vice
president elect left the private rest,
denee of President .Monroe, attended'
by .a large cavalcade-of citizens on
horse back. They were met at the capl-
