CONSERVATIVE ADDRESS THROUGH
OUT.
Atlanta Ca, Jan. 25.-Hon. Joseph
brown is again governor of Geor-
He was inaugurated at noon to-
az The whole ceremony, barring
70 inaugural address, took less than
In minutes.
The brief but weighty oath was
administered by Chief Justice W. H.
kisb Of the Supreme court. The great
bal was brought in by Secretary of
tate Phil Cook, who handed it 70
Governor Slaton, who handed it to
Governor Brown, who received it and
sben turned it over again to the sec
etary Of state for safekeeping.
Il After taking the oath of office, Gov
I krnor Brown spoke, in part, as fol-
bws:
Under Orders From People.
& Gentlemen, let us not deceive our
|keIyes; we are here by the grace of
Me- people. but under orders of the
Apeope And it is not ours to vary
4hose orders or to construe them as
Ne choose. Each of us, whether in
8he legislative, the judicial or the ex-
Rcutive department, finds fixed bounds
within which his powers are limited
#nd his duties made obligatory. Nei-
Hher can trench upon the others, ex-
8ept at the expense of the general
Safety but all, when working in har-
honious accord, prove the wisdom of
the wise man of the Scriptures, a
ahreefod cord is not quickly brok.
b.
Let us then, within the bounds pre-
scrbed by the constitution, perform
pur functions fully, firmly, fearlessly
put conscientiously.
Yet with all that I have stated,
Fe have the anomaly that those charg-
IA with the execution of the laws in
khJS state as in others, have too Of
Ren permitted technicalities and mis-,
GUIDED sympathy to hamper or even
feteat the laws which the people de-
eree shall be enforced. hence, the
I'al needs of the present day is the
fpJTlt OF infeXible justice. I there
4ore sound the note of warning to yo1
n lne general assembly that you so
sesiSlate that the laws of Georgia shall
fot be the shield of fraud, to you III
lie judiciary that the right has been
20 clearly defined that there be no ex-
us 1or wrong. And for myself 7
onISe that the pardoning power
P""Il not be used to defeat the laws.
l'ao that whatever function of the ex-
eolye office ! perform it shall be

'nd complete protection of person and
property which our constitution SAYS
