THE BIBLE ON WHICH
TAFT WILL TAKE OATH
[By Associated Press.]
Washington. Feb. 17.—That the
Incoming president always takes the
oath of office on a Bible and that
the chief justice of the United States
administers the oath is generally
known, but where the Bible conic's
from is a fact concerning which the
public knows much less.
The one who is able to give more
information on this subject than any
other is James H. McKenney* the
clerk of the supreme court, who is
the man who always has the sacred
hook at the right place at the right
time, and in whose hands, strange to
*ay, it always so opens that the au
gust personage who is about to
pledge his fidelity to the constitution
and the best interests of the people
of the United States finds his palm
resting upon some passage which is
an augury of good for all concerned.
The purchase of the book is one of
the ‘•perquisites*' of the* clerk.
“Mo." said Mr. McKenney, in re
sponse to a question: "no. we do not
xise our century-old Bible for the
swearing in of presidents; but it
often happens that the clerk supplies
n new book for the occasion. It is
the Intention that the man who takes
the oath of office should have the
volume as a keepsake, and it general
ly transpires that his family, if not
himself, set much store by it. Not
always, h'owever, nor even in a ma
jority of cases, are we called upon
to supply a new book, for it frequent
ly happens that the president or
tome member of his family is the
owner of some treasured volume of
Our increasing business is evidence that it is not CHEAP GOODS,
but GOOD GOODS at reasonable prices that the people want.

the Scriptures, which it is desired
that he should use upon this sacred
and inqiortant occasion.
"This was the case when Mr. j
Cleveland was inaugurated. He was,
the owner of a small Bible, not larger!
than your hand, and which apparent
ly had seen much usage. Ills mother
had presented it to him when he was
:i boy and he had treasured it ever
since. When he was consulted about
taking the oath, when first inaugur
ated president, he stated that he de
sired his mother’s present should be
used for this purpose. When the
oath was administered to him at the
beginning of his second administra
tion, the same volume, which on this
occasion had been hunted out by
Mrs. Cleveland, was again brought
forward and presented as the one'
upon which her husband should
make his pledges.
"Quite in contrast with this lit
tle volume was the one used In ad
ministering the oath to Mr. McKin
ley. The negro bishops joined to
gether and presented to Mr. McKin
ley one of the biggest books 1 have
ever seen. It was an extraordinary
large family Bible, bound in heavy
morocco, trimmed in gold and stored
in a much-ornamented box. I re
member very well that I was quite
fagged out from carrying it to the
senate chamber and from that cham
ber to the platform in front of the
capitol. After the Bible had been
used for this purpose I turned it over
to the president; but, notwithstand
ing lie had already received it. the
donors afterwards called at the White
House and presented it with formal
speeches, to which Mr. McKinley
made appropriate* reply.
“President Roosevelt was sworn in
on a Bible which liad been used for
the same purpose when ho was in
THE DALLY SENTINEL, GRAND JUNCTION, COLOKADfI.
1 augurated governor of New York.
I We had bought a Bible for his inau
guration when we received word from
Mrs. Roosevelt that she preferred the
' use of their own volume, and it was
•accordingly substituted.
“We still have on hand the Bible
bought for that occasion, but we
shall not use it for Mr. Taft. Un
less he furnishes a book himself, we
will get a new one and will keep
the Roosevelt Bible on hand for
emergencies, such, for instance, as
occurred when Arthur took the oath
of office in this city. He had been
sworn in New York, but it was sud
denly decided that it would be safer
to again administer the oath in this
city. Accordingly Chief Justice
Waite and about 20 other people of
' prominence were called very sudden
ly together in the vice president’s
room at the capitol. I had to send
uptown for book, and had but a few
minutes in which to execute the com
mission. I succeeded, however, in
getting the book In time for the cere
mony and was one of the few pres
ent when Mr. Garfield’s successor
| was initiated into his high office.
“We now make it a point to have
an available book on hand at all
times, and will keep the Roosevelt
Bible for that purpose."
