Renewed Social Life at the Capital City: Simple Ceremonial Carried Out: Coolidge's Salary March 1.—Before 2 crowd of 100,000 persons, all that the Capitol Plaza in Washington can accommodate, Warren G. Harding of Marion, Ohio, will be inaugurated as President of the United States of America at noon to-morrow with the simplest ceremonies with which the executive head of any of the great Powers of the world has ever assumed office since the mangration of Thomas Jefferson, third Pre sident of the United States.

White, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and an address by Mr. Harding are all that wilh mark the change of the American Government from the: Democratic to the Republican party.

"He hath showed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?"
