cred books. The ceremonies began with prayer
by the Rev. DR.. ]. Gray Bolton, of Philadelphia,
personal friend of the incoming Governor. The
certificate Of election which authorized the COM
nissioning OF Edwin S. Stuart the twenty
seventh Governor of Pennsylvania was read,
after which Supreme Court Justice Fell admin
istered the oath of office. Mr.. Stuart then de-
ivered his inaugural address. in part. fol-
lows:
The platform upon which was elected prom
sed many important reforms which the people
had been demanding for years. and which in
some instances had been persistently denied
them. 1 gave my word to the people that IL
elected Governor OF Pennsylvania l would. to
the extent Of my power, insist upon the fulfil
ment Of those promises. All Of the reform
pledges Of that platform shall constitute part
Of the policy of my administration and without
any assumption OF debating legislative action
their early enactment into laws is urgently rec
commended
The Governor recommends that trolley COM
panies receive the right TO carry freight and
the power Of eminent domain. He suggests that
a state railway commission be appointed with
powers similar to those conferred upon the In
terstate Commerce Commission: advocates
maximum railroad passenger rate OF two cents
a mile, and recommends legislation to make
effective that portion OF the state constitution
which prohibits railroads from engaging in any
other business than that of common carriers.
Governor Stuart makes appeal for better
pure food laws and would require manufact-
urers or others sending adulterated commodi-
ties into the state to have resident agents upon
whom legal service can be made, enabling the
authorities to hold them responsible instead of
innocent retailers who buy food. drugs and bev-
eragee on the representation that they arc pure.
Stringent legislation for closer scrutiny OF
banks and trust companies is also recommended.
In the matter OF the controversy over the fur
nishings and decorations of the State Capt.
tol, which was one Of the principal issues in
the campaign of last November the Governor
calls for investigation by joint committee
of the two houses Of the General Assembly. He
recommends that the Legislature give him au-
thority to employ special counsel and auditors
acting under the Attorney General, TO appear
before the committee and assist in the investi-
cation.

seem TO have acquired the losing habit
almost to the point Of mania. and
while figures for the whole city cannot

100000 articles are lost on them every
year. II 10 this total be added those
