Jackson was inaugurated governor. of
Iowa, succeeding Hon. Horace
Boies. II had been first proposed to
make the event a great Republican DEM
onstration, but on account Of the death
Of Miss Jesse Boies. the daughter Of the
retiring governor, Mr.. Jackson requested
that all demonstration be dispensed
with. Nevertheless all incoming trains
brought big crowds TO see Iowa's young
est governor inducted into Office, and an
almost unprecedented multitude for
such an occasion was present. Besides
Boies there were also
among the notable guests Ex-Governor
Gear, Ex-Governor Sherman and ex-
Governor Larrabee. The day through
out was bright and clear. Governor
jackson, in his inaugural address, said:
The stability as well as the perpetuity
of Republican form of government
rests upon the intelligence of its common
people. Poverty is the natural enemy
of education and development. A Re
publican form of government cannot
afford to have poverty fasten it's clutches
upon the masses of its people. Neither
can the people of wealth in such gov
ernment afford it. That which most
threatens the glory and progress Of our
country is the gradual forcing upon the
millions of American laborers the
schedules of pauper wages paid
the laboring classes Of the old
world. Old world wages are not suf-
ficient to enable an American laborer to
properly clothe his family, educate his
children and make of them good Amer
ican citizens. Anything less than this
Is q Menace
to the very foundation of our system of
government. The schedules of wages
referred to beget poverty and poverty
begets ignorance. Despotic forms OF
government can live and thrive with
poverty and ignorance among the masses.
This is impossible with a republican
form Of government like ours. Asched-
ule of wages that enables the American
laboring man to support his family re-
specially and to educate his, children
properly has been recognized as ma
tional necessity during the greater
part OF our nations existence.
To maintain the American
schedule of wages in the future requires
that the American people buy and use
the products of the American laborers
and not the products of other lands, and
this although they cost more. Patriot
ism is absolutely necessary to the exist
ence of all governments, and especially
30 to the existence of q republican form
Of government. A patriotism that re-
SCENTS an insult TO q nations flag is
highly commendable. A pstriotism that
furnishes half a million men To defend
and protect the rights and liberties of
even few Of it's citizens under thu flag,
wherever they may be. ID indeed chival-
rous, and glorious. The patriotism Of
an American citizen should certainly be
a. broad, and deep as this. It must be
Even broader and Deeper.
1t must be patriotist that shall insist
that the purchasing price Of . inanufac-
tured article shall be such an amount
that the American laborer whose brain
and muscle produced it, who lives under
the same flag, who breathes the same
air, and whose interest and welfare is
the nations interest and welfare shall
receive for the product of his brain and
muscle such compensation as shall en-
able him to live as an American citizen
ought to live, and TO educate his chill
dren as American children must be ed
ucated.
As To Prohibitions.
Mr.. jackson also devoted considerable
time to the silver question and prohibi-
ton. AS to prohibition he said:
"A trial Of 10 years has demonstrated
that in many counties the prohibitory
liquor law has fully met the expectation
OF its friends, having successfully driven
the saloon system out Of existence in
those counties. While this is true, there
are other localities where open saloons
have existed during this period of time
in spite of the law, and in spite OF the
most determined efforts to close them.
In such localities the open saloon exists
without restraint or control; constant
menace to the peace and safety OF
the public. From these localities
there is an earnest demand for relief-a
demand not from the law defying saloon
sympathixers, but from the best business
elements, from the best moral sentiment
of such communities, from the churches
and from the pulpit. While the preseni
prohibitive principle, which Is 30 satis.
factory to many counties and communal
ties of our state. should remain III force,
wisdom, justice and the interests Of tenn.
perance and morality demand that d
| modification of this law should be made
applicable to those communities where
the saloon exists, to the enl of reducing
of the eyils>of tine liquor traffic to the
minimum.
