,uF INAUGURATION OF A NEW PRESIDENT

The administration of Presl- dent Roosevelt ends today, and that of his successor begins. Aside from the faithful service heretofore rendered by both the chief men in this drama. there IS something more fortunate and gratifying in the fact that the American people have learned to change rulers without resort / jug to revolution and without even upsetting the credit of the Nation or the business of the country. The new administra- ton is welcomed in a spirit of peace, good will and confidence. / It has the hearty approval of the retiring administration and the respect of even it's political op- pOnents.
 President Roosevelt is an im- petuous. self-assertive and ad- Venturous man, who very natu- rally has made some very bitter enemies as well as millions of devoted and trustful adherents. He has dared to press for certain Feforms in the interests of the people that more cautious and outrageous man would never have attempted. It is highly interesting to find him the best Supporter of a successor who is
 man of different turn and Different method. The incoming resident is a man of judicial nlnd, cautious and discreet. He the last to agree with his pre- Fecessor in the heroic rule which he laid down in a speech deliver In Dallas to the effect that Vnen one (even aman occupying
 nigh public office) is in doubt Enether or not he should do a |nlng, the best way to do is to ahead and do it. President

It appears from sketches of the advisors who have heen chosen to seats in the new Cabinet that the incoming ad- ministration sets in with an open pledge to conservatism. The new president is a peace maker, as the best of his adminis- trative work shows very clearly. He will remain close within the constitutional restrictions, as he has been trained at the bar and on the bench to do. If he does not satisfy popular expectations, his mistake will probably be at- tributed to his failure to be suf- ficiently strenuous to meet the demands af the militant element.
 There are not many great Nations in which rulers" can be changed without even a spasm of popular excitement. While the world moves and there has been made much progress along political lines during the last century, it is still a fact that a change of rulers" still means a disturbance and revolution in almost all other countries. The breakup that came of such changes was the chief argument made against our system when it was first proposed. We have about outlived the main argu- ment. There will be no excite ment, no disturbance, no bitter ness over the inauguration of a new President today; but, on the contrary, the great body ot the American people, regardless of their party attachments and sectional disagreements, Wlll re- gard the ceremony by which the new President is presented to them with patience. confidence and good will.
