dress:
There has been q change Of govern
ment. 1t began two years ago, when
the house Of representatives became
Democratic by a decisive majority.
1t has now been completed. The SEN
ate about to assemble will also be
Democratic. The Offices Of president
and vice-president have been put into
the hands of Democrats. What does
the change mean? That is the ques-
ton that is uppermost in our minds
today. That is the question am go
ing to try to answer, in order, If I
may, to interpret the occasion.
New Insight Into Our Life.
It means much more than the mere
success of party. The success Of a
party means little except when the
nation is using that party for large
and definite porpose. No one can
mistake the purpose for which the
nation now seeks to use the Demo-
cratic party. 1t seeks to use 1t to in
terpret change in its own plans and
point of view. Some old things with
which we had grown familiar, and
which had begun to creep into the
very habit of our thought and of our
lives, have altered their aspect as we
have latterly looked critically upon
them, with fresh, awakened eyes;
have dropped their DISCUSSES and
shown themselves alien and sinister.
Some new things, as we look frankly
upon them, willing to comprehend
their real character, have come to as
sumo the aspect of things long believ-
ed in and familiar, stuff of our own
convictions. We have been refreshed
by a new insight into our own life.
We see that in many things that
life is very great. 1t is incomparably
great in its material aspects, in its
body of wealth, in the diversity and
sweep of its energy, in the industries
which have been conceived and built
up by the genius of individual men
and the limitless enterprise of groups
Of men. 1t is great, also, very great,
In its moral force. Nowhere else in
the world have noble men and women
exhibited in more striking form the
beauty and energy Of sympathy and
helpfulness and counsel in their efforts
to rectify wrong, alleviate suffering,
and set the weak in the way Of
strength and hope. We have built up,
moreover, a great system of govern
ment, which has stood through long
age as in many respects a model for
those who seek to set liberty upon
foundations that will endure against
fortuitous change, against storm and
accident. Our life contains every
great thing, and contains 1t in rich
abundance.

Human Cost Not Counted.

But the evil has come with the
good, and much fine gold has been
corroded. With riches has come In
excusable waste. We have squan-
dered great part Of what we might
have used, and have not stopped to
conserve the exceeding bounty of ma
ture. without which our genius for en-
terprise would have been worthless
and impotent, scorning to be careful,
shamefully prodigal as well as admir-
ably efficient. We have been proud of
our industrial achievements, but we
have not hitherto stopped thought
fully enough to count the human cost,
the cost Of lives snuffed out, of ener-
giles overtaxed and broken, the fear
full physical and spiritual cost to the
men and women and children upon
whom the dead weight and burden of
1t all has fallen pitilessly the years
through. The groans and agony of 1t
all had not yet reached our ears, the
solemn, moving undertone Of our life,
coming up out of the mines and fac
tories and out of every home where
the struggle had its intimate and IA
miliar seat. With the great govern
ment went many deep secret things
which we too long delayed to look
into and scrutinize with candid, fear.
less eyes. The great government we
loved has too often been made use of
for private and selfish purposes, and
those who used 1t had forgotten the

And yet 1t will be no cool process
Of mere science. The nation has been
deeply stirred, stirred by a solemn
passion. stirred by the knowledge Of
wrong, Of ideals lost, of government

which we face this new age Of right

heart-strings like some air out Of

our task to be no mere task of politics,
but a task which shall search us

need Of our people, whether we be in
deed their spokesman and interpre-
tiers, whether we have the pure heart
to comprehend and the rectified will
to choose our high course Of action.
