Washington s inauguration as
the First Chief Executive
Goorq-p Washington was inasurated first
President of the United States April 30,
17Sj9. in N'r'.v York city, which at that
time was the federal capital. During ths
ceremonies, the chancellor administered
th-- onth with g-reat deliberation and em¬
phasis, after which Washington bowed
down, seised the Bible, kissed it, and ex-
clalroed with closed eyes and much devo¬
tion:     "1   swear;   go   help   me   God!"
Thereupon the chancellor declared, "It
is done," and turning to the crowd ex¬
claimed: "Long live George Washington,
President of the t*nit«'d States!" The
last named dei laratlon on the part of
the chancellor was in Imitation of mon¬
archical custom. The error of this prac¬
tice was, however, soon exposed and
abandoned, but at th'- time the crowd
thought of nothing but the exciting solem¬
nity of the scene, and many who demon¬
stratively waved their hats were too over¬
come by emotion to join ln the huzzas.

Mrs. T. S. Fillmore, the county chair¬
man, presided, and gave an outline of
the work that was going to be carried
on in Easton, ISangur and Bethlehem
this winter. An unusual interest wa-
manifested by tlie women present. It
was agreed that a Strenuous effort be
put forth to have two hundred women
enrolled by the  next meeting.
The following officers were elected:
Chairman. Mrs. .Morris Fortuin; Assist¬
ant Chairman, Mrs. Willard Thomas;
Secretary, Idas Mary Frack; Recording
Secretary. Mi — Florence Both; Treas¬
urer, Mrs. Joseph Brobston.
A   great  many   women   were   deterred j
from  voting last fall because they were
inadequate   to   cope   with   the   political
issues.    Now this is the opportunity to
educate the woman voter.
Are you interested—ye women of
Nazareth,—in "The Mother's Assistance
Fund'—"Child Welfare"'—"Protection
of Women in Industry"—"Food Supply
and Demand"—"American Citizenship.''
etc.? These problems are a part of the
legislative program of the Pennsylva¬
nia League of Women Voters.
This League of Women  Voters is not
a  woman's party;  nor a  separate polit-
1 ical   party—some   are   Democrats     and
some   are   Republicans,   and   all     must
work through the party  of their oholce.
jit is not necessary for a woman to be
j active   politically   unless   she   is   so   in-
! clined.   but   it   is   the   duty     of     every
■ thinking  woman   to   become  acquainted
! with the  various offices of borough and
j county,  that   when  the  time  comes   for
I election, she at least will know the du-
I ties   expected   of   her     candidate.     and
j whether   he   will   be   able   to  fulfill   the
| obligation   she   is   placing   upon   him   bv
her  vote.
Every woman of voting age, who is
interested in the welfare of the commu¬
nity, is asked to join. The dues are
one dollar a  year.
