The world will note today another miracle ox It-government, the inauguration of a president of the United States. The twenty-ninth man se lected by his fellow citizens to be chief mag istrate of the nation is to take the oath and enter upon the discharge of solemn trust imposed upon1 him. When George Washington was sworn in on April 30, 1789, the experiment of the Amcii can republic was actually launched. It was set' un foot with the hope that human liberty should be made safe, fastened solely by the aspirations of, freemen who gave of their best that a gov ernment of the people, by the people, for the people, might be established . on earth. Its J foundations rested on the eternal principles enunciated in the Declaration of ; Independence, its "superstructure was out'lined in the Constitu tion of the United States, which had been but a few weeks in operation. ' , ; Experience has shown that a people whose, own Uf -restraint 'is sufficient can eovern them selves. "It is one of-the evidences of the sound-' ness of the democratic creed," says the Omaha World-Herald,' "that the American people have never elected a bad and unworthy, man for pres ident." - 1 , In the' old world for hundreds, of centuries government has rested on the shoulders of the tew; dynasties have sprung up, flourished,- de clined and disappeared, but the system ' of gov ernment from above has persisted.' Wise men and wicked, mild and gentle rulers and tborrtin able tyrants, the capable and the profligate, have' come and gone in the procession that has ascended the throne, held it for the moment and Vanished, and always the people, bore whatever fate befell them; -patiently or' with rebellion, groaning under oppression or smiling tinder laxity, prospering or suffering as the moodvof the monarch might produce beneficence .or blight, but; always ruled frojn above. Never until the American republic came into existence did thi world have its like, and no other experiment at popular government took its form or endured a? it has. , ! ' ' , ' ". Today at. Washington Warren Gamaliel Harding wi publicly .lake the oath required, of him and formally, assume -his duties. He is. pledged to reverse the policies of his. predeses sor. Here is one of the enigmas of the Govern ment at Washington. Students abroad see. In ' these changes a lack oi- stability in the American , . character. They' do not go deep enchigh to get; at the real ..truth. That Woodrorv Wilson is V going out of office with r.iost of his hujk ideaT ..unrealized is not a sign that hi fellow citizens.." 'including1 Mr. Harding, do not sympathize in. full .-witti the. hooes of the "tmtgoirig president; the difference is as to methods.. Our apparent fickle- ness is really the stavmchest ot sateguartis against violent and destructive- revolution. ! None shouts in America, today,' "The king, is lead! Long live the king!" But a mfghty peo ple, in all -the majest? of its strength and the plenitude of its power., installs its executive and continues its course. Whep "retreat" is sounded, - thisf-vctting and Old Glory flutters down for the; ' night, the sun's long slanting beams will touch the dome of the Capitol and the tip. of theMoiui-1 iftcnt and they will glow with a soft, golden flame, assuring the world: "All's . well! God reigns, and the Government at Washington still lives!" Another Fine Railroad Example. Permission granted the Burlington railroad io issue a slock dividend of $60000,000, capitallring surplus -earnings that have been reinvested in the property, must attract attention to the line itself. Second only to the Union Pacific, pcr hans, the Burlington stands as a monument to efficiency in management and operation. That the road is fortunate .beyond the ordinary situa tion in the region it serves is true, but that does not accotfnt for it all. When James, J, Hill made his bargain with the Perkins people, early :'n the present century he foresaw possibilities ihat have turned into realities. The vision E. H. Harriman had of the reconstructed Union Pacific was repeated in the C, B. & Q and just as Harriman rebuilt the Union Pacific line .from Omaha to Truckce, so did Hill renew the "Q" from Chicago to Denver,, and in all ita many ramifications and branches. ' The value of the property is indicated-'by tlie .fact that $60,000,000 of earnings have been rain vested in renewals, extensions and improvements, all chargeable to capital account. All of these betterments have been in the one general direc tion of improving the earning power of the road, and the result has justified the clear foresight of the great builder. No railroad in the ( United States serves a richer region; Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas, South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana. Colorado and. Texas are the, empire over which the C, B.. & Q. extends its 'myriad of interlaoing tracks, nd from .which it draws sustenance, and. to wliich it renders service. "Jim" Hill did not see the completion of his dream, any more than did Harriman. but they furnished the world with two wonderful exam ples of what may be done by providing railroads to meet the needs of a developing commerce.

Evans OBSERVATIONS ON EXERCISES. , ! tired flted ous, very oat'y and am very little, if any. I . " Sold by Sunshine. t She speaks a various language, docs nature: The poet was right; and with the springlike suit and. the balnfy air, first hints of budding spring and the full blown summer, nature is talking exceedingly like a motor car salesman. - Every 'living thing, from the bulb3 buried in t!)c garden to the man buried in the office or shop is struck with restlessness. v Find two men together these days and the . chances are that one of them at least Vtalking ."ot buying an automobile. The aspiration may be for a small, used car, for that is the modest manner t Which the idea insiduously works its way, but tb only firmly determined fact is the resolve to have something on wheels. , The sight oi a dirt road, the lengthening eve nings, the thoughts of the relief felt at getting 1 out of the city or of avoiding the crowded street cars all these lead the man at the next desk to inquire about the price of a good car and h gasoline Will go lower. Soon Omaha will have an automobile show, andthe crowds will get into close contact with the men who have cars to sell. But nature has done its work and we arc already sold on tl:e the idea of a car all they have to do is to come . around and collect. V A Paioful Lack of Ethics. t Something might be said about the need for a spirit of fair play among the gentry who are; allowing their covetous eyes to roam wildly over other people's goods. The attempt at a daylight robbery in Omaha clearly shows a higher stand ard of professional ethics than is represented "by the thief who robbed a taxi-cab station nearpo lice headquarters in Council Bluffs in the dead of night. Perhaps some law could be enacted, or a gen tlemen's agreement drawn tip. by' which thievery would be limited to certain hour of the day: A Square Shooters in Business. Nearest to the soli of all Omaha's industries lies the Live Steck exchange. Farmers clear through the west to the Rockf mountains know the Omaha stock yard's as most of the residents of this- city do not. The men down at the yards are just a little htfskicr, w-ith more of the bluff western manner and traditional good humor,; than any other class in Omaha. W. B. Tagg, one of the live stock commission merchants, in a speech before a local business or ganization recently rendered good service in call ing public attention to the fact that $1,000,000 tforth of business is transacted in the pens of South Omaha each day. Ifsyou have ever sat on the fence down there and watched the business of. buying and selling meat on the hoof, the sim plicity wfcfh which deals involving1 tens of thou sands of dollars are made must have struck you. A man reaches down from his horse and unlocks the gate of a pen, admitting a buyer -with whom he hopes to deal. They ride through the herd, stirring "the animals about, and , the prospective purchaser, perhaps a buyer for one of the nearby packing houses or perhaps representing an east ern' "company, rides off after the exchange of a few words. Othr. prospects are brought iu, look the stock over, and ride away. The sales man may shout after one of them, "take off a nickel,"' and the answer may be nothing more than a nod of the head or wave of a long whip.. The bargain is then' complete, and the cattle are driven off ,tft be weighed. . , That is the vty business is transacted at the stock yards. There are no legal contracts to be drawn up, there is, no. dotted .line on which to sign.' Alt is done on . honor, ' and under 'the supervision of rthe rules of the exchange. Mr. Tagg says that iif the 500,000 transactions of att year only -.eight 'disputes arose, and these were settled by -arbitration.- Legal proceedings are scorned there, and the industry is one which regulates itself, Qmaha is proud of its stock yards industry, and for its spirit of the square deal as much as for the magnitude of its trans actions. . . ' . " Tumulty and the Ship Canal. . . Only regret can be felt that in making a place for' his- private secretary to alight the pres ident found it necessary to jeopardize the ship canal project. A deep: waterway from the west em Great Lake ports to the Atlantic ocean is too important an undertaking, to be given a setbnek in order that a "lame duck" maybe provided for Mr. Tumulty earned consideration from his chief by.'ten years of faithful, conscientious and efficient serviced This deserves , award, a'ld ample precedent exists for its bestowal. N ,Yct such recognition and satisfaction of the Tumulty claim ought not. to be at the exjense of a g-eat enterprise in which the material welfare of the entire grain raising empire of the central wet is involved. That the chairman of the commission having charge of American interests in the proj ect should be summarily removed is bad cnouch. but that he should be succeeded by a man who is known to be inimical if not actually opposed to the undertaking is an unexpected exhibition of executive displeasure. , - . The Great Lakcs-St. Lawrence ship canal must make its way on fcs merits. Ample em ployment for the New York barge canal will be found even when the great waterway is made' as entirely useful s its projectors claim for it. New York can not lose greatly if Chicago, Mil waukee or Duluth become ocean ports.' At any rate, New York can not reasonably hope to perpetually hold in bondage the wheat,' corn end meat producers of the wonderful Mississippi valley region, and compel' them forever to pay for the privilege of reaching the World market through the bottle-neck at the mouth of the Hudson rever. Even with Mr. Tumultyas chair man of the commission, and throwing his power and prestige as such against the St. Lawrence ship canal, it has back of it such support as will eventually set it safely among the things ac complished. .' vAn appropriation of $20,000 to study the be havior of fruit during transportation is hard to understand unless some of the wild varieties are suspected of getting fresh.

After the serving of light refreshments the young ladies repaired to the third floot and "tripped the light fantastic" while music waved eternal wands.

' Although the visitor was veiled (continued the fair Saldee) the outline- of her features.and the angularity of! her figure led my brother to surmise that she was not so beautiful as the ris ing full moon; she corresponded in no particular to the crude standards of female loveliness which, young men thoughlessly entertain; but .1 1 .1 . , 3 . . - y uvu jiurf cnauu jan uisciosea ne iuifi a very lively Interest in her. 'Sir,' she said, 'I am in 'quest of one who is most dear to me, and who when he vanished from my sight was attired in a shirt such as your advertisement describes; I particularly . remember the- fine stripe in the flannel. May I aslc If the advertisement, has been replied to? 'Only by yourself,' said my brother, concealing , his disappointment; 'and since we both seekthe same person- 1 should be thankful for arfy information yoir may be pleased to give me.' " 'Alas!' said the lady, 'I saw him toe the first and only time last evening.' And she related, in the most romantic manner, her strange meeting and stranger flight with tho young man who had called himself Peter Pan. My brother Was much moved by the narrative, which further convinced him of the power of the pink shirt to disorder the wits of woman kind, although in the present case the lady might not have had much wit to lose. He uer- ,-celved that her hero could be none other than the highwayman who had robbed Mr. Weather wajL, and while he was minded to establish this fact he' wished to spare her the anguish of en-, lightenment. 'Madam,' said he, 'if you will ac company me to a certain photograph gallery we irtay be so fortunate as to And a portrait of the ingenious gentleman Ave seek, and this may dis close his identity. The lady readily agreed, and Valentine summoned' a taxicab. 'Drive,' he said privately to the chauffeur, 'to the Clark Street 'Police Station.' And when they arrived there he took- the Police Captain aSide ad advised him of the secrecy of his business. Jt was necessary, too, to reassure the lady, whowas perturbed by her surroundings, which little suggested the con ventional photograph gallery. They were then ushered into a small room, and the Captain obligingly laid before them a great number of photographs, which the lady inspected in turn with Increasing aversion. Presently she made a little outcry And took up one of the cards,, which exhibited both the full fao and profilf; of a handsome young man. Valeutine turned o con sult the Captain, anJ the next instant the en amoured lady swooned upon his shoulder. YOUNG Mr. Daltou desires it known, also, that he was not led fb a life of adventure by perusal pi the "Thousand and One Afternoons." THE PERFECT TRIBUTE. Sir: Tour reputation is enviable. Our offlce Doy reads the "Thousand and One Afternoons" has stliniilainit- some rambling j thoughts on iht general subject. It is true, as this correspondent states, thiW-there is ft lot of buncombe about deep breathing exercises. The tissues need only a ortain amount of oxy gen and, bcliiK unable to use any more, will not take it. If 'a person breathes deeply ho does fill his lungs with oxygen: in factwhe over fills hlsV blood with it anirin con sequence ho unUerbreathes until the 'average has again been reached- What very deep breathing does is to exercise the great muscles of the chest wall, the abdominal wall, And the baV:k and neck. And. incidentally, it warms up the feet and haiuls. It is worth while throwing the shoul ders back, straightening the neck and exercising tho trunk muscles. The man 'who fln-ows up the windows and spends half an hour to one hour j exercisig each morning will have I fewer colds, coughs, rheumatism at tacks than the other fellow. He will begin by taking deep breathing exercises in order to warm up and overcome the effects of the cold air. Nevertheless;" the amount of ex ercise for the muscles which such a man gets is nival as compared wiMt the muscle ta3k of a man who walks two miles to his cfTice daily or tho farmer who works in the field. Say a man t.-ikes a dozen of one exercise and ten of another, and so on, for a score of stunts. How does the sum total compare with the task of a man who walks four miles and gets in nearly 10,000 steps. A man with about an average stride can walk about two and a half miles an hour without using many muscles except his leg muscles and the muscles which keep the body erect. He leans forward, throws his chest of gravity to the front, is con stantly falling forward, and uses the advanced leg to stop the fall. There is a very little pueh on the bottom of the foot, a bringing forward of the leg. and a lifting of the body. If speed is increased other muscles arc brought into play. I have just been trailing a short man -who got a lot of general body exercise out of his walking. He was short and broad hfpped. and he threw his feet out as he walked. Being broad hipped, his walk was something of a-waddle. To com pensate for the poor mechanical ar rangement of his bony framework he worked his arrn shoulder and trunk muscles almost as much as he did his leg muscles. The man of ordinary build who walks over three and a half miles an hour must work his 'shoulders and trunk muscles a Tot in order to make ther speed. Think of the amount of muscle ex ercise veauiwd for ench step. Then multiply it by. say, 5,000. Now com pare this with the muscle work oc casioned by 20 deep breaths. Deep breathing as an' exercise is good 'as far as it goes. But it does not go far when compared with a brisk two mile walk. , very nerv t Rtlll get also have headaches, pains in the back, hlpc .and legs, more especially when T stoop over nnd the straighten up ataln. Those pains are very sharp, t ant at the present time at the naval hospital at Fort Lyon, Colo., and would like to know if a change of climate, such as Hot Spring, Ark., wuld be of any bene fit to me."

From the main tent conies the familiar echo of the sold actors rehearsing the old play, which triennially wooed us into ' un accountabllity, while from their un derstudy, the menagerie, comes the chatter of tho mnnkeys, the centen arian Jekes of tho tattqoed clowns mingled with the braying of the tiTck donkeys, tho roarings of the Hons, which, owing to their familiarity taper down -to harmless bleating, the rumble of tho titketseller's wag on as he prepares to shortchange us while selling us a T5c reserved stand up ticket for a dollar and a half, while the discordant calliope para lyzes our sensibilities so that un consciously we dig down for the price of admission. "What have been the principal forces duiiii!r the past 20! years es pecially that have- rendered our city elections which should be sacred In stitutions into wrestling matches, prize fights, comic supplements? first of all the newspapers have been to blame for mediocre men being elected and perpetuated into our city council, regardless of the fact that they stand alone In thgir sacrifices for good for all the people in most things In, life, why? Simply be cause they havt given these medi ocre politicians literally reams of free advertising, publishing their every utterance in public and private life as though these utterances were redemptive mordl and economic phi losophies, while 'the few worthy de serving men of the city who have dared to seek political preferment occasionally have been compelled to light ther battle single-handed. ; Second in Importance to the news papers, the pracher and the churches have been to blame for these men beingso successful ? for while incessantly they have winged their fiery darts at these men, never, once have thsy gotten together and chosen men against'them. In ot tier :'.; '' ' ---JL-iL- words, they hstve simply nctcu dog in the manger. If just for once the gicut iirwa pfiperhof I ho city, the minlMers of tho gospel and Mio churches, would give deserving citizens who do not know tho political game, but do know business, tho same, chaime Hint they do tne professional pull -ticluns, there need be no fetir re garding the outcome of our election.
