His Success Is Ours
Tomorrow Warren G. Harding
will be inaugurated President of
the United States arid he should
be inducted into the highest
office in this country with the
best wishes of all its people, re
gardless of political affiliation.
When he was the candidate of
the Republican party the Beacon
was against him, just as it will
be against him in 1924 should he
be a candidate for re-election, be
cause we do not believe that the
policy of his party, by which he
is controlled, is conducive to the
best interest of the American
people.
As President he will occupy a
position that should command for
him the good will of the highest
and humblest citizen in the land.
His election was no “fluke” and,
right or wrong, it is the expres
stoffofThe wilt of the" American
people, and especially does it be
hoove us, who opposed him, to
pledge to him in his official capa
city our loyalty and best wishes
for a successful administration,
Hifl. stewardship will cover one
of the most important epochs in
American history and he will
have many problems to solve,
problems that concern the wel
fare of all the people of this
Country. In their solution he is
entitled to the united sympathy
of every man and woman in
America.
A Great Device
For the first time in the history
of the United States an inaugural
address will be heard in Wash
ington by everyone of the hund
reds of thousands of men and
women who willlcrowd the broard
open space which stretches for
fifteen hundred feet in front of
the inaugural stand at the Capi
tol Building. The reason for this
is found in the loud speaking de
vice which has been installed for
the benefit of the public, and
which is the only feature of the
entire simple inaugural ceremoni
es outside of the taking of the
oath. By means of this device,
which is hidden from the eye, the
human voice is made to carry
mile ureter perfect condi
tion.
Althofifh there are three rooms
full of machinery and electrical
devices in connection with the
loud speaker, none of it is in evi
dence, and the huge horns
through which the speech will be
heard are camouflaged by being
made a part of the roof of the
speakeFsatand.
When the President-elect
speaks, his voice will generate
energy by means of the transmit
ters. This energy is transferred
by wires to the complex appara
tus now being installed under the
Capitol steps. The energy is led
into a little glass bulb, which the
engineers call a “vacumtube am
plifier”, the function of which is
to receive energy, multiply it and
send it to the other amplifiers un
til it reachs a stage sufficient to
turn it loose in voice form through
the hidden horns out to the dis
tant crowds.
The voice, when it emerges
from the horns, is almost an ex
act duplication of the original,
but greatly increased in power.
It is possible for the loud speak
ing system to obtain an amplifica
tion of several million times with
out great distortion of the origi
nal wave form.
The mouths of the hidden horns
are depressed just enough so that
the audience near at hand within
range of the speaker's voice di
rect, hear very little from the
horn, those further away hear
both the speaker and the loud
speaking system, those furthest
away bearing the horn only.
It might seem that this addi
tional source of sound might cre
ate a double effect or an unnatu
ral effect, but it does not. The
sound from the horn is exactly
in phrase with the speech, and
almost the same quality. At any
Koint where the sound from the
oms is heard, it is practically
impossible to tell that one is not
listening to the speaker himself,
