PRICE, $1.00 PER YEAR Almost the most enjoyable sight we ever witnessed was at the inaug- uration, when Herbert S. Hadley es- corted the incoming Democratic gov- ernor down the aisles of a Demo- cratic legislature with the bands playing “Dixie.” x WASHINGTON LETTER. Special Washington Correspond- ent of The Times. By Clyde H, Tavenner. Washington, Jan.—President Taft in his New York “reorganization’’ speech, declared in fine sarcasm that those dissatisfied with his administra- tion demanded ‘‘an ideal state in which the poor and oppressed are to acquire property and cease suffer- | ing.”’ This and similar statements of the | President, indicate why his adminis- } tration was unpopular. He was pre- | judiced against any kind of reform. His is the same view that is held by Morgan and Rockefeller, and the other money king who have made their millions as a result of federal laws which gave them monopolies of | American markets with power to charge the people for trust products any price that their greed dictated. Morgan and Rockefeller also be- | lieve that all who are not satisfied | with the old conditions, the bribery | of United States Senators by the oil trust, the failure to send guilty trust | magnates to jail as the poor are sent | to jail when they violate the law, the} infamous Payne-Aldrich. tariff laws | which permit the big industrial com- binations to be ever boosting prices and increasing the cost of living, Morgan and Rockefeller and Taft be- lieve that all who complain of these things expect and demand ‘‘an ideal state in which the poor and oppressed are to acquire property and cease suffering.” This is not true. It is ridiculous to assert that because the people de- mand tariff revision to reduce the cost of living, that they expect or de- mand “‘an ideal state.’”’ In asking for an income tax which will compel the rich to bear a fair proportion of the burden of taxation, which they are not now during; In requesting the election of Unit- ed States Senators by the direct vote of the people, to prevent their elec- tion by bribery. In demanding enforcement of the criminal provision of the Sherman anti-trust law, which is not now be- ing enforced by an attorney general who who was formerly a sugar trust lewyer; In desiring legislation, safe-guard- ing legitimate business from the pub- lic evils of stock-gambling; In expecting effective regulation of child labor, an employer's liability law and protection of women wage earners; In demanding and expecting these things the public is not, as President Taft says, and as Morgan and Rocke- feller pretend to believe, either de- manding or expecting ‘‘an ideal state in which the poor and oppressed are to acquire property.”’ The people are simply asking for a square deal at the hands of those “public servants” they have sent to Washington to represent them. Filipinos Desire Freedom Manuel L. Quezon, resident com- missioner of the Philippine Islands to the United States, who has just re- turned to Washington from Manila, says that every town in the archi- pelago has endorsed the Jones bill, which he hopes will be passed at the extra session of Congress. The bill purposes to establish a provisional government, more liberal and autonomous than at present, for ; four years by the President of the 'ed part of the size of the crowd, as members, both branches to be elec- tive. The executive power would) be vested during the probationary | period in a President, appointive for | i United States, and after July 4, 1921, ; | to be elective by the Philippines: CRUSH BARS DANCES AT IN- | AUGURAL BALL } |Throng So Dense an Hour and Half, Required to Check Clothes and Get | to Receiving Line. | Jefferson City, Mo., Jan. 13.—So | dense was the throng that attended | the reception of Gov. and Mrs. Major | at the Executive Mansion tonight that | dancing was out of the question for} more than three hours. | Instead of the proverbial hal! it be- came an inaugua! rush where little | opportunity was afforded the thous- { ands of gaily gowned women and ‘gold braided men to display their finery. ' The crush began soon after the. hous for the opening of the reception | at 8 o'clock. In spite of the well ar- | ranged plans and the police officers detailed to preserve a semblance of order hundreds going upstairs); met many coming down and the blockade was relieved very slowly. Those who have attended other in- augural receptions say they never j before saw such great crowds. An hour anda_ half was required | to check outer garments, descend to the main floor and cross the hall to. the door where the Gov. and Mrs. Major stood at the head of the re-) ceiving line. | Never before has there been seen! a more Democratic gathering than the one which slowly wended it way | down that line. To this was attribut- hundreds were present who would not have been unless assured that evening clothes were not required. Gov, and Mrs. Major both had giv- en the public generally to understand that the absence of finery would not: be a bar to their hearty reception. Frowned on Invitations In addition the custom of issuing invitations frowned upon by Gov. Major, who said he could not make, a list which would include all his | friends. ' He considered ever person in the state, regardless of politics, as aj friend. And although there were few Republican politicians, there! were many from the ranks of the Republicans, as well as other parties. | A delightful incident of the even-! ing was the presence of Miss Felice | Lynes, the prima donna, who con-| tributed the charm of her wonderful singing to promote the pleasure of the people of her own state. | Encore numbers ‘Coming Through | the Rye’’ and the “‘Last Rose of Sum- mer”’ seemed however to please the audience more than the more diffi- cult selections. Difficulty was ex- perienced in making a passage so Miss Lynne could descend tothe main floor, but her voice soon brought quiet to the struggling crowd. It was her last appearance before go- ing abroad to continue her studies, and she consented to sing through friendship to Gov. and Mrs. Major. Receiving the guests in the drawing room were: Former Gov. and Mrs. Her- bertS. Hadley, Gov. and Mrs. Elliott W. William H. | of Cornelius Gov. and Mrs. Mr. and Mrs. Lieut.
