are making war against the United States
BY far the greater part of the inhabitants
recognize American sovereignty and well
come it as a guaranty of order and OF ses
curity for life. property, liberty, freedom
of conscience and the pursuit Of happiness.
To therl full protection will be given. They
shall not be abandoned. We will not leave
the destiny of the loyal millions In the ISL
ands to the disloyal thousands who are In
rebellion against the United States. Or
der in civil institutions will come as soon
as those who now. break the peace shall
keep it. Force will not be needed or used
when those who make war against US shall
make it no more. May 1t end without fur
ther bloodshed and there be ushered in the
reign of peace to be made permanent by
government of liberty under the law.
Roosevelt Inaugurated.
Theodore Roosevelt was inaugur-
ated us >ice president Of the United
States at 11:5O Il. III. The ceremonies
in the senate We're attended by the
president and Il distinguished com
pany. He delivered his inaugural adj
dress, as follows:
| The history of free government is in
large part the history Of those representa-
tive executive bodies, in which, from the
earliest times, free government has found
its loftiest expression. They must ever
hold a peculiar and exalted position in the
record which tells how the great nations
| of the world have endeavored to achieve
| and preserve orderly freedom. No man
| can render 10 his fellows greater service
| than is rendered by him who. with fearless
ness and honesty, with sanity and disin-
| terestedness, does his life work as Il mem
I ber Of such body. Especially is this the
case when the legislature in which the car
| vice is rendered is Il vital part of the gov
| ernmental machinery of one of those wofld
4 70 ,xhn hnn in tI0
the ages, is entrusted Il leading part Hl
| shaping the destinies of mankind. For
| veal or for woe. for good or for evil. this
/ is true of our own mighty nation. Great
/ privileges and great powers ours and
| heavy are the responsibilities that go with
4 these privileges and these powers. Accord
| ngly we do we'll or i'll. SO shall man
kind in the future be raised cast down.
/ We belong to young nation. nlreary OF
giant strength yet whose present strength
is but forecast of the power that is to
| come. We stand supreme in continent,
4 in a hemisphere East and west we look
across the two great oceans toward the
| larger world life in which. whether we will
or not. must take an ever increasing
part.
Aud as ieen-eyed gaze into the COM
ing wears. duties. new and old. rise thick
4 AMI fast to confront us from within and
without. There is every reason why we
should face these duties with Il sober ap-
probation alike OF their Importance and OF
their difficulty. But there is also every
reason for. facing them with high hearted
resolutions and eager and confident faith
in our capacity to do them right. A great
work lies ready to the hand of this genera
tion: it should count itself happy indeed
that to it is given the privilege of tlnine
!, such IL work. A leading part therein .nusi
be taken by this. the august and power
full legislative body over which have beer
called to preside. Most deeply do Iappre
ciate the privilege of4my position: for higl
indeed is the honor.sof presllip. over the
American senate ut the outset of the Twen
