GOV. Ben v. HOOPER
Was Inaugurated Monday for
fiis Second Term

With simple, but impressive
ceremonies at the Ryman Auditor
ium, Gov Ben w. Hooper was in
augurated Monday for bis second
term as the chief executive Of the
state of Tennessee.
The huge building was practic-
ally filed for the occasion. The
walls and ceilings were gaily dec
GRATED with bunting and the First
Regiment and the Industrial School
Bands played stirring music.
Many ladies were in the audi
ence, including large delegations
from most of the local female col
leges.
Judge John X. Shields, chief
justice Of the supreme court and
senator-eleet, administered the oath
Of office. The invocation was Of
fered By Rev. j. Nj. Anderson, of
Morristown.
Members Of the legislature as
sembled at the capitol and marched
to the auditorium ia a body. Seats
were reserved for them. Other
blocks of seats we're reserved for
wives Of members, the WI. G. q.
.. and bearers of invitation cards,
The governor was presented to
the audience by Speaker White in
a few brief, pointed and eulogistic
sentences.
The governor, among other
things, said the present admins
tration needed aid; that when a
punylittle municipality runs rough
shod over the state it was time for
the legislature to take a hand. He
said that the responsibility of vio-
lation Of law ia the cities is on the
legislature but, turning to the
members, he said: Yon can shift
this responsibility to me by giving
me the reasonable laws | ask for. "
He appealed for the assistance Of
the legislature. He said no honest
effort had been made to enforce
the law in Tennessee. Heasserted
that the four-mile law would never
be repealed at the dictation of its
violators. He said not the tenn
perance question, but the lawless
saloon IS the disturbing element in
politics.
Ii was on the question of law en-
forcement that che governor re-
ceiyed his first real applause.
From that time on cheers and APP
pIause frequently filled the big
building. He said he would fight
saloons as long as he lived. He
said there were many things all
parties could agree on, that no
party has all the virtues; that he
stands ready to help any move or
any party who really wants to ben
tit the state. On many moral ques-
tions he asserted petty politics
should be laid aside aud all join
ID pushing the state to her proper
place in the nation. He pledged
himself to this end.

the Pirates the winning run. Humphries

when Wagner's single as a starter was
followed by Hyatt's circuit smash. Rob-
inson for Pittsburg was wild and after
Chicago had punched hits and bases on
balls for four runs in the sixth, O'Teole
took his place. After pitching the sew
