Declares That Attempt to Regulate
Corporations lmperii Liberties of
the Individual.

Columbus, Ohio, jan 11.-Forty
thousand democrats from all over Ohio
took part in the inauguration today as
governor of Ohio of Judson Harmon,
former attorney general of Cleveland's
cabinet. Francis w. Treadway, repub-
lican, was sworn in as lieutenant gov
ernor. In his inaugural Harmon said:
Would Broaden Scope.
1--WE must make the state govern
ment more broadly useful. Its powers
are ample, undoubtedly, to grapple
veloped by new conditions and give
general concern. Why, then, stand by
and let the government assume to
regulate state corporations because
they engage in interstate commerce? ?
Citizens engage in that commerce, too,
and congress has the same right con-
|cefning their r~pefsonal-affairs as with
those of state corporations, no more,
nor less. If congress gets general jur-
isdiction over us, if we engage in COM
uuCtCc OutSluc lllS StdtS, VIC Ildy DIS
well turn over the capitol to a fed
eral commission and go home.
Would Make Securities Good.
1--WE should carefully supervise the
creation and extension of corporate
rights so that the name of the state
shall not be used to decorate securi-
ties which do not represent good faith
and value"
Marshall Also Inaugurated.
Indianapolis, Jan. 11.-Thomas E.

ernor who is the first democratic gov

taking administration of public affairs
| and a plea for the making and enforce
ment of such laws as are backed by
the moral sentiment of the community
A notable absence of pomp and splen

the prophecy which was given out by

White, together, with her two secre-
taries. Miss McEnterfer and ID. T..

from Three Rivers. where they nave
been attending the west Michigan con
ference OF the Adventist church. Ow-
Ing to the advanced age OF Mrs. White
and the fact that she Is badly In need
OF rest. an interview with her was de-
MED. However, Miss McEnterfer act
cd as spokesman for the prophetess.
II have no doubt that the end of the
world is near at hand, said MISS NC
Enterfer. The signs In both the
heavens and on earth as spoken OF IN
the Bible show this TO be true. me
darkening OF the sun, the falling OF the
stars and the general indication OF an
uproar In the solar system which has
been In evidence for months are all
mentioned as signs OF the approach OF
Judgment day In the Scriptures. On
earth we have had the great wars De-
tween nations and the terrible earth
ouakes which are becoming more vio
lent every time they happen. This is
the Judgment that God Is sending
down on the wicked people.
"Of course, none OF us know Just
when the end will come. for God has
said that even the angels In heaven
know not when the judgment day viii
come. But the world Is becoming
more wicked every day. until now 1t
seems that a great majority OF man
kind have sin in their hearts. God
will not allow this wickedness TO go
on much longer. for he is going to
have clean people about him. All OF
the wicked people will perish with the
fire which will consume the earth.
They will have everlasting punishment
but not punishment everlasting. They
have not long TO live on earth now.

foretelling doomsday have been ful-
filed"
