THE EXTRA SESSION
UNDER THE CALL IT CAN DO ANY
BUSINESS IT DE8IRES.
PROBALY PASS CENSUS BILL
This Matter, the Statehood Bill and
Other Measures Are Likely to
Be Considered.,
Washington, D. C. When congress
meets on the 15th Inst., upon the call
of the president to consider a revi
sion of the tariff, there will be no
constitutional restrictions upon the
nature of the business that may he
transacted. It is generally conceded
that at least two months will be re
quired for the representatives to
conclude consideration of all' the
schedules involved in this legislation.
The house itself will not receive, the
bill for some weeks, as the commit
tee on way and means will require
considerable time to report the meas
ure. During this long period the
senate will have nothing to do in
respect to the tariff, and even after
the bill leaves the house it will be
in the hands of the committee on
finance for some time before the
senate actually gets possession of it,
and the debate begins. Then will be
gin a long wait by the house of rep
resentatives until the state amend
ments can be known and conferees
appointed to bring about an agree
ment upon them.
This procedure will result in each
house having to remain in session
with nothing to do in relation to the
tariff covering a period of a couple
of months. Three days is the extent
of a recess that may be taken by
either body.
In view of the extended period of
inactivity that would face each house
should nothing be considered except
the tariff, many senators are consid
ering the advisability of entering up
on other legislation which they be
lieve ought to be passed in time to
send it over to the house when that
body has disposed of its bill and will
only have to wait for senate action on
the tariff. The advocates of poctal
savings banks have talked of the pos
sibility of such a policy being adopted
ever since they becam- aware of
their inability to secure legislation in
the last session of congress.
There are many earnest advocates
of a change of date in the inaugura
tion from March 4 until a later day,
when favorable weather is likely to
prevail. Senator Depew took the
first legislative step in favor of such
a change when he introduced a reso
lution proposing an amendment to
the constitution to change the date
of the Inauguration from "March 4 to
the last Wednesday in April.
Advocates of statehooa for New
Mexico and Arizona were greatly dis
appointed that no progress could be
made toward the enactment of an
enabling act during the last session
and they are restless over any propo
sition to delay action until the regu
lar session of congress because they
fear that the mass of legislation that
will then come up will crowd their
claims to the bacitsround.
The president's veto of the census
bill make mandatory some action to
provide for the enumeration of the
thirteenth census, and while legisla
tion might be delayed until early
next winter, some of those who are
interested in tbe passage believe that
the extra session would give an ad
mirable opportunity to dispose of it.
HARRIMAN AND GOULD DEAL
Union Pacific and Wabash Will Ex
change Business a Kansas City.
Chicago The Record-Herald says:
Negotiations are in progress which
will eventually laud for Edward H.
Harriman's Union Pacific line west of
Kansas City the greatest traffic coup

beginning early in May there will be
an interchange traffic agreement be
tween the Wabash and the Union
Pacific at Kansas City which will be
of immense value to each system.

Simplicity of President Taft
Washington, D. C. Domestic sim
plicity characterized the first Sunday
in the White House of the Taft fam
ily. President Taft, accompanied by
his brother, Charles P. Taft, walked
to the Unitarian church for morning
services. The capacity of the church
was taxed to its utmost with wor
shipers and strangers whose curiosity
impelled their presence. It was ex

rive in his automobile, and his ap
pearance among the crowd of several
hundred.

Weather Interferes with Parade
and Disrupts All Plans of New
Chief Executive.
Washington. President William
Howard Taft's first move at the spe-
clal session of congress will be to cut
the weather man off the payroll.
Mr. Taft became President Taft
Thursday afternoon at 12:55, the
inaugural ceremony being held in the
senate chamber, instead of on the
east portico of the capitol building, on
account of a terrific snow and sleet
storm which raged here for nearly 24
hours. And the day before the
weather man had predicted sun
shine. Washington for nearly 12 hours had
been cut off from all wire communi
cation with the rest of the world be
cause of the sleet storm which fol
lowed on the heels of a fall of several
inches of snow.
But for all that the ceremony was
carried out in the crowded senate
chamber in a manner which was as
solemn as the inclement weather con-
ditlons would permit. But the pro
gram which had previously been laid
out for the inaugural folk to follow
was smashed, disrupted and thrown
aside with the result that the time
worn adage of "bright sunshine for
Inaugural day" was cast into the Taft
waste basket.
A few minutes before President Taft
took the oath of office in the senate
chamber Vice-President James S. Sher
man was inducted into office. This
process took but a few minutes, and
then there was a solemn parade of
senators, representatives, government
officials and others interested in the
ceremony.
Ceremony Is Formal.
The ceremony of the Inauguration
was accomplished with all due formal
ity and finality, but under most un
usual conditions owing to the terrific
blizzard which swept over the na
tional capital, paralyzing street traf
fic, destroying communication with the
outside world, and bringing dismay to
the thousands of assembled visitors'
who had gathered In expectation of the
usual spectacular demonstration. Not
withstanding the adverse conditions,
efforts were made to carry out all of
the main features of the inauguration.
The main change was in modifying the
original program so that the inaugural
address, usually delivered from the east
portico of the capitol, was pronounced
by Mr. Taft in the senate chamber.
"Blizzard to the End."
When Mr. Taft and President Roose
velt met in the breakfast room, Mr.
Taft's greeting to the man he was so
soon to succeed, was:
"Mr. President, even the elements
protest."
"Mr. President-elect," quickly re
joined Mr. Roosevelt, "I knew there
would be a blizzard clear up to the
minute I went out of office."
Notwithstanding the fury of the
storm outside, there was happiness
-,nd cheer inside the White House up to
the moment that Mr. Taft and Presi
dent Roosevelt started for the capitol.
Vice-President Fairbanks and the en
tire membership of President Roose
velt's cabinet had arrived by a quar
ter of ten.
Good Newspaper's Influence.
The influence of the right kind of a
newspaper must be corrective. Evils
and abuses, some small, some great
grow up on every hand. The rights of
individuals and the rights of the pub
.ic are constantly being undermined
through ignorance, and assailed by
graft and greed. The newspaper with
a helpful policy must ever be vigilant
to. warn and ready to fight against
these attacks. From the Philadelphia
North American's "Confessions of a
Newspaper "
The Missing Nine.
The humorous aspects which seri
ous things often take, by reason of
some coincidence or happening, was
well Illustrated not long ago in a New
England college. The baseball nine of
this college had gone to a neighbor
ing town on Saturday afternoon to
meet a university nine, and bad come
back with the discouraging report or
"no runs."
The college was feeling sore and
subdued when it assembled on the fol
lowing morning for chapel services,
gJYLLMM . Tir7 jf JXrtEJ J. SfifRMAN J
President Roosevelt and Mr. Tan
left the White House at 10:10 a. m. on
their journey to the capitol. As he
came out of the front door Mr. Roose
velt bade good-by to the various offi
cers and attendants who were gath
ered on the portico. Mr. Taft fol
lowed. The president was first to en
ter the carriage, taking the right hand
seat.
Wind Destroys Decorations.
The wjnd thrashed many of the
city's prettiest decorations to threads.
The immense reviewing stands along
the line of march were made well-nigh
uninhabitable by the swirling snow.
Street car and railroad traffic were Im
peded to the extent of seriously delay
ing the arrival of thousands who had
planned to attend the inaugural cere
monies. President-elect and Mrs. Taft spent
last night at the White House as the
guests of President and Mrs. Roose
velt. "I always knew it would be a cold
day when I was made president of the
United States," was the laughing re
mark of Mr. Taft as he looked out of
the White House windows on one of
the prettiest winter pictures ever seen.
The snow, clinging to the trees and
shrubbery, had transformed the White
House grounds into a veritable fairy
land of dazzling white and fantastic
forms.
Parade Despite Elements.
Despite the storm conditions unusu
al! previous efforts at decorative ef
ration of Mr. Taft and Washington
was thronged with people eager to see
the magnificent spectacle. All day
Pennsylvania avenue was packed with
the crowds.
The scene was one of constant
movement and constant color. The
red, white and blue floated from every
flagpole and fell as drapery from
every cornice. The inaugural commit
tee succeeded this year in outdoing
all previous efforts at decoratice ef
fect. In the line of march leading from
the capitol up Pennsylvania avenue,
past the great treasury building and
White House there were nearly 4,000
regular troops and twice as many
members of the National Guard of the
different states and independent mili
tary organizations. The civic fea
tures of the parade were many. The
trades, the professions and all kinds
of business activities were represent
ed by thousands of persons who came
to Washington to do honor to the
country's new civil chief.
Sherman Sworn In First.
Early in the day the president-elect
met the out-going president in the
White House. About an hour before
noon the congressional committee of
arrangements, consisting of Senators
Knox. Lodge and Bacon, and Repre
sentatives Burke, Young and Gaines,
arrived at the executive mansion and
informed the president and the president-elect
that congress was in "readi
ness for the ceremonies of the actual
inauguration.
Escorted by a guard of honor of
veterans, Messrs. Roosevelt and Taft
and the several committees then
drove to the capitol, where they were
met by Vice-President Fairbanks and
Mr. Sherman. All went to the senate
chamber, where, after prayer by Ed
ward Everett Hale, chaplain of the
senate, Mr. Sherman took the oath of
office as vice-president and delivered
his inaugural address. He then ad
ministered the oath to the newly
elected United States senators.
Present on the floor of the senate
chamber were many former senators
of the United States, who have the
privilege of the senate at all- times
owing to the fact of once having held
I membership in the body.
Taft Is Made President.
The white-haired chief justice of
the United States. Melville W. Fuller,
administered the oath of office in the
senate chamber to Mr. Taft, who,
when he had taken It, bent and kissed
the Bible held in the hand of his
country's chief jurist. Immediately
following the taking of the oath. Presi
dent Taft delivered his inaugural ad
dress. The president's speech frequently
was interrupted by applause and at
its close the great assembly broke into
cheers.
