right to wear these b0n0rs.
In coming to accept the Speakershil
ofthis House and assume its duties ant
responsibilities, I believe II to he in &C
cordance with the rules of good taste
as know it to be in harmony with al
honored custom Of such occasions, t.
present in q somewhat deliberate anC
Formal manner my estimate Of the ma
ture OF the trust with which have
been honorcd.
To promote directnsss of action; te
systematic, simplify and facilitate the
difficult and complex work of making
laws, and 10 render elective the ma
chinery of legislation and see that it Is
kept in repair and not broken or pu,
to misuse, these are some of the duties
Of the occupant Of this chair. trust
I may never lose sight of these sim pie,
guiding principles. thrust that may
| acquire, in time, q sufficient clearness
of perception to be ablo 10 discriminate
between that which is merely techni-
Gle and that which is inherent and es-
| sentiai and that while observing a
proper regard for the customary for
mulas and prescribed courses, may
not too frequently comlni. the mistake
Of losing sight of the object to which
even the most indispensable and srbi-
.rary rules are merely secondary and
subjective.
Even If brought to the discharge
of my high trust the largest experience
and tho most perfect familiarity with
the technics, problems and abstruce
niceties of parliamentary usage and
law, still. without your earnest sane
ton, constant sympathy and consider
ate forbearance. 1 should certainly fail
to reach that success which Is so neces-
sary 10 the successful administration
of this Office. Lacking as am in such
seif-sustaIning experience, the need of
your generous and regardfui coopera-
ton is only too evident.
I make no effort TO conceal my polit-
ical creed and convictions abate
nothing Of the zeal which have so
often protested in behalf of the con-
stituency one of whose representatives
am; waive nothing Of my prefer
ences and purposes and should be
to stand in this place If I
did. believe that the general well
fare Of the State, regardless of political
local interests, or inCivid-
usl ambitions, should be the para
mount inspiration and purpose of this
office. Aud trust you will believe
me when say that l hope to be able
10 perform the duties devolving upon
me With something of the careful fair |
ness Of a judicious and honest umpire;
md that you will have reason for a |
more complete assurance of the integ
rity of my motives as lime and per-
deveIope results. I will try
md not forget the axiom of Parlis-
law, That the presiding Off
.er of deliberative body is not its
master, but its servant; and that the
8 Speaker" is SO called because he
speaks for the assemblage over which
10 presides.
And now IN conclusion let me say,
hat hope cur mutual relations may
row pIeasanter day by day; that our
abors may proceed with constantly
ccruinS benefits to the State and
onor to ourselves; and that when our
FORK is dane, it may be accepted by
le considerate and intelligent people
hose servants we arc, with out
poken. generous and hearty appro-
alton.
