The Inangearation Date.
Congress at its coming 'session
. will be asked to change the date
of the inauguration of the Presi
dent from March 4 to the last
Thursday of April. The argu-
- ment for the change is that of
the danger of exposure of the
President and other public men
on a date as early as March 4,
when the weather at Washington
is so frequently bad.
The whole schedule of election
k inauguration and meeting o f
' Congress is out of date and fitted
to the colonial age before the
days of railroads. In those time
when it took so long for news to
travel, and public men to get to
the capital, it seemed natural to
have an inauguration four months
after election. Moving the date
ahead would simply lengthen
, this undesirable extended period.
Our public men ought not to
go through with long and formal
exercise under a cold March wind
in Washington's climate. There
are two ways to remedy that
One would be to hold these ex
ercises indoors. But it goes con
trary to Washington's notion of
an inauguration, that it is not so
much for giving a new adminis
tration an impressive send off, as
to supply a public holiday and
big out-door spectacle and draw
business to Washington.
It would be a logical plan to
hold election in September and
inaugurate in November -or to
. elect in March and inaugurate in
May. But such plans would
make a big change in our politi
cal customs and the idea of an
indoor inauguration seems more
practial. Let Washington enjoy
all the parades and inaugural
balls it can get our 'President to
arrange. But let it not expect a
lot of elderly men to stand bare
headed for long ceremonies in
weather that is practically winter.
Waste of Food.
The story of the experience of
the Gerard party in traveling
from Berlin gives an interesting
side light about food. They tell
how after the scanty food con
ditions in Germany the compar
atively free use of food in Paris
seemed perfect waste. Yet no
doubt after the party got home,
the use of food in this country
seemed far more wasteful than
in France. But few people take
much pains to conserve such
parts of the food supply as come
under their own control.
The waste of good food in ho
tels and restaurants, when prices
are bo high and so many people
are suffering. People order lav
ish table d'hote dinners, they de
. mand a dozen dishes and only
taste a little of each and all the
rest goes to the garbage pail, or
is supposed to. Perhaps the
cheap restaurants get more than
the public realizes.
Of late years the European
plan of operating dining rooms
has become general. It tends
v greatly to reduce the amount of
food consumed. Once people re
alize that they have to pay for
what they eat, they confine their
orders to what they really want
It is the only sound basis for op
erating an eating room business.
Most hotel proprietors would be
glad to put it in. It is in quite
general use now in city hotels
and on railroad "trains. It is not
t yet popular in boarding houses
and resort hotels, where a course
dinner on the wasteful American
plan somehow seems more liber
al. ' In . private homes the same
spirit prevails to a large extent
We all help ourselves to a mam
moth potato when half of it would
give all that anybody wants. It
is our national temperament in
herited from the day when foods
were plentiful and a drug on the
market The public pays for it
all, and it makes prices needless
ly high.

lie summed up tho present problems

to tho lssuo of securities, involving de
lays and conflicting state policies gen
erally dangerous and possibly disas

rates lu such a muniier a to unduly
reduco revenues, to discriminate in fa

IU own borders as against localities
and shippers in other slates and to dis
turb and disarrange the structure of

Thlrd.-The Inability of the Inter
