NASlINGTON, March 4-Wood-
row Wilson of New Jersey, was inaug-
urated today as president OF the
United States; Thomas H. Marshall, OF
Indiana, is vice president; democracy,
the vehicle Of its destiny,
t'ndcr the dome of the nations
capitol. in the presence Of count
less cheering concourse Of his fellow
citizens, the new president raised a
hand toward prophetic sun that
burst dissolving clouds and pronounc.
ed the occasion a day Of dedication:
not of triumph.
II was an intensely human, prece-
dent-breaking inauguration. with
members of his chosen cabinet sur
rounding him, the justices of the SUI
preme court before him, his wife and
daughters actually dancing for joy
on the platform below, and william
Howard Taft. ex-presdent OF the ma
tion. at his side, the new president
shouted summons to all honest,
patriotic forward-looklng men to
aid him extending the promise that
he would not fail them in the guild
ance of their government

While the presidents concluding
inaugural words were tossing in tu-
muItuous waves of applause, the re-
firing president clasped his hand and
enlisted as a patriotic servant in the
ranks of private citizenship.
Mr. President" said Mr.. Taft, his
face beaming with a smile, II wish
You a successful administration and
the carrying out of your aims. We
will all be behind you
Thank you,' said President Will

of his secretary of state. William J.
Bryan.
Forces of Humanity
There they stood-Taft, standard
bearer of vanquished party after
16 years OF power; Bryan, persistent
plodder of progressive democracy.
and Wilson, the man of the hour, VIC
torious, mastering, as he expressed it,

forces of humanity"
1t was a political picture far be-

by a setting that stirred the souls Of
the assembled hosts whose cheering
at the scene seemed actually to re-
vertebrate from the distant hills OF
Virginia.
The military and civic pageant that
followed this climax Of the historic
day was more than five hours passing
In review. Leaving Capitol Hill at
. o'clock in the afternoon, the last
of the marching thousands had not
saluted their president until long af
ter darkness had fallen.
President Wilson stood for more
than hour under the glare of myr-
lads OF brilliant electric lights as he
greeted thousands in the long line,
among them the host OF Princeton
students who. as they passed before
him, shouted a hearty greeting that
he can never forget.
Enters White House.
The music OF the bands, the glitter
Of the uniforms and all the enthu-
siasm that had gone before him had
stirred him again and again but the
sight of this cheering student army
was TO President Wilson an inspira-
ton that brought cherished memoir
les and joyous tears. Not long after
the boys from old Nassau had passed
he turned from the human panorama
and entered the White House to
I grasp the wheel Of the ship of state.
N Ceremonies in the senate chamber
which marked the dying Of the sixty
second and the vitalizing of the new
sixty-thlrd congress, embracing the
inauguration OF Vice President Mar
shall and the swearing In of the
senators-elect, were never more i'm
pressive. Though delayed somewhat
by the course of legislation necessi-
tating turning back half an hour the
hands OF the clock, the interest was
tense.
