ured by the golden metewand of hon.
or; and, as the idea in her forma.
tion was the the inherent right of mer
to rule themselves. that now she car
i'll afford to announce this doctrine in
her own land and renounce It for an
instrument Of oppression in other
lands.
Unfortunately there is no fixed
standard Of honor outside the diction-
ary. The gambler may hold it to con-
sist in paying his gaming debts, tie
member Of the smart set, in divorcmg
his neighbor's wife before taking her
unto himself, the senator in eliminat-
ing personalities. But when we enter
the chancelleries of the world and sub
init to their judgment not only OR
right to be but our right to be re-
spected we can hope to be measured
in but one way; and we must be able
to show that the solemn treaty obli-
cations Of this republic will be kept
with the same scrupulous honesty both
Of spirit and letter, whether made with
the migftiest monarch of the old
world or the humblest people of this
continent struggling for self govern
ment. This high sense of honor con-
stitutes the panoply of the American
people. Armies and battleships fur
nish no substitute for it. These are
valuable but the people never intend
ed that authority should use them as
accessories TO burglars kit.
If anyone in the name of the Ameri-
can people, either in violation of trea-
ty obligations or the manifest purpose
of the Monroe doctrine was deliberat-
ing it is your duty to ascertain all
facts thereto. And if wrong or injus-
tice has been done even to the hum
blest republic, let this people be brave
enough and sufficiently honest to
make reparation. The real greatness
of this republic rests upon its unsul-
lied honor and 1t is the duty of this
body to search down rumors of bad
faith and dishonesty and to rectify
wrong wherever wrong is discovered
Here in this most sacred spot, where
war has been made and peace declared
here in the presence of the distin-
guished representatives of the govern
ments of the civilized world, here, with
in the hearing of the beauty, culture
and ripened statecraft of his own land,
may one humble American express the
hope before he enters upon four year
silence that all our diplomacy may
spell peace with all peoples, justice for
all governments and righteousness the
world around.

neglected, fundamental safeguarding
Of property and of individual right.
This is the high enterprise of the
new day: to lift everything that con-
Germs our life as nation to the
light that shines from the hearthfire
Of every mans conscience and the vi
sion Of the right. 1t is inconceiva-
Bile that we should do this as parti-
sans; it is inconceivable that we should
do it in ignorance of the facts as they
are or in blind haste. We shall re-
store not destroy. We shall deal with
our economic system as il is and as
it may be modified not as it might
be II we had clean sheet Of paper
to write upon; and step by step we
shall make it what it should be, in the
spirit of those who question their
own wisdom and seek counsel and
knowledge, not shallow self-satisfac-
tion or the excitement of excursions
whittier they cannot tell. Justice, and
only justice, shall always be our mot

And yet it 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
too often debauched and made an in
strument of evil. The feelings with
which we face this new age of right
and opportunity sweep across our
heart-strings like some air out of
Gods own presence where justice and
mercy are reconciled and the Judge

our task to be no mere task of poll

This is not a day of triumph; it is
day of dedication. Here muster, not
the forces of party, but the forces of
humanity. Mems hearts wait upon us;
mems lives hang in the balance; mems

will do. Who shall live up to the

INAUGURAL ADDRESS
OF new PRESIDENT

There has been = change of govern
ment. 1t began two years ago, when
the house of representatives became
Democratic by decisive majority. 1t
has now been completed. The senate
about to assembly will also be Demo-
cratic. The offices of president and
vice-president have been put into the
hands of Democrats. What does the
change mean? That is the question
that is uppermost in our minds today.
That is the question | am going to
try to answer, in order, if | may, to
interpret the occasion.
1t 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 purpose. No one can mis-
take the purpose for which the ma
ton now seeks to use the Democratic
party. 1t seeks to use it to interpret
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 al
tered their aspect as we have latterly
looked critically upon them, with fresh
awakened eyes; have dropped their
disguises and shown themselves alien
and sinister. Some new things, as we
look frankly upon them, willing to
comprehend their real character, have
come to assume the aspect of things
long believed in and familiar, stuff
of our own convictions. We have been
refreshed by new insight into our
own life.
We see that in many things that
life is very great. II is incompara-
BILE great in its material aspects. in
its body of wealth, in the diversity and
Eweep 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
n men. II IL great, also, very great,

riage and its escort was Maj. Gen. l..
Wood, grand marshal of the parade,
his staff and thirty aides. Wood wore
voluminous white sash. Red sashes
were worn by his staff, Lieut.. Col. H.
T. Allen, chief Of staff, and Lieut.. Col.
H. c. Hodges, adjutant general. The
aides, including high officers from
each branch of the army and navy
service, wore white sashes. All were
respondent with gold lace, medals,
plumes and were astride richly capa-
risoned mounts-the finest horseflesh
in the Service"
AS the grand marshal approached
the Peace monument, cheering swept
in mighty volumes up the entire
of Pennsylvania avenue. 1t broke into
an uproar when President Wilson'S
carriage appeared. The incoming exc
cutive was forced continually to ac-
knowledge the plaudits of the throngs
packing both sides of the avenue. A
sea of waving flags and buntings.
Following custom ex-President Taft
sat with his hat on throughout the
ride even ignoring an occasional and
faint shout for the outgoing Republi-
can executive. Tradition and custom
DEGREES that the outgoing president
shall regard every particle of the de-
monstration as given his successor and
shall not even appear to note it. New
ertheless the Taft smile, as of old, was
in evidence as he head Democrat exub-
erance but ill-concealed in the shouts
of triumph with which they acclaimed
president of their faith.
Behind carriages carrying President
Wilson and Vice President Marshall
came vehicles carrying Mrs. Wilson
and the three Wilson daughters. Fol-
lowing that of the Wilson family was
the Marshall family. Then came the
automobile and carriages of other dis
tinguished participants.
Slowly the professional to the White
house began. The carriages proceed
ed at walk to afford good view
of the president to the crowds in the
stands and windows. Soldiers stood
at attention all along the avenue,
spaced every few feet in front of taut-
ly stretched ropes holding back the
sidewalk crowds.
Green and white was the official col
or scheme of the decorations. Lining
the streets were tall pennants of those
colors their staffs supporting festoons
of electric bulbs for the illumination
tonight.
When the march from the Peace
monument began salvo of 101 guns
the national salute-was fired by
a battery Of artillery on the White
house ellipse. 1t was followed by the
presidential salute of twenty-one guns
and the vice presidential. salute of
eighteen guns.
The Parade Itself.
The post Of honor in the parade
WAS given the cadet battalion from
West Point military academy. Their
band of fifty pieces headed the 800
gray-coated black -plumed cadets with
stiffly- -starched white sashes-the per-

ADDRESS OF new
v|Cf-PRESIDFNT

Senators-Ihe proprieties of this
occasion probably require few words
from one who is grateful to the
American people for the honor here
tofore done him and this day consul
mated.
No senator has, l trust, keener
appreciation of the necessities in the
way Of tact and courtesy now devolv-
ing upon me than | myself. offer no
surety as to my discharge OF duties
other than personal pledge that
will seek to familiarize myself with
them and will endeavor always to ex-
ercise that complaisance and forbear-
ance which are essential to him who
ably presides over great debates upon
great public questions by great men.
Divergent views relative to this
body would be less divergent if the
American people would come to realize
that on all sides of real questions
much may truthfully be said. Such an
attitude of the public mind would elm
mate the view that this body is dis
tinctively deliberate and not thor
oughly patriotic.
Charges of bad faith based upon an
attitude of mind or upon conduct
should never be made until it is clear
ly established that the resultant ac-
tion is the outcome of personal inter
est or improper and dishonorable
business or social relations.
Your action has not always met
with universal approval, but up to this
good hour no workable substitute for
the exercise of the functions of this
body has been proposed. 1t is not
needful for me here and now to accept
a brief in your defense. This body
will continue to stand not because Of
its presiding officer, but because of
the patriotism and intelligence of its
constituent members and their devo-
ton to our system of government.
To my mind government is the har-
ness with which people draws it's
load of civilization. If the harness be
properly adjusted the load, though
very heavy, will be drawn with ease
and no part of the people will be gall
ed. The senate is the blinders, intend
ed to keep the people from shying at
imaginary dangers and toppling into
the ditch our system of government.
So long as the binders serve this
purpose they are a most valuable part
of the harness, but if they be drawn
so closely to the eyes as to prevent
the seeing of real dangers, then they
should either be spread or done away
with entirely. am one of those who
think that we can so adjust our bin
ders as to meet new conditions and
render us sanely responsive to every
reasonable demand of the people with
out disturbing any of the checks and
balances of our system Of government
and preserving with loyalty and fidel-
ity the ancient ideal of the public.
With neither the right nor the de-
sire to infringe upon the prerogatives
of the president so soon to be, beg
the expression of the opinion that
whatever diverse views may be held
relative to the work Of this body all
persons are agreed that under the con-
stitution the senate of the United
States is singularly the guardian of
the peoples honor; that more and
more as righteousness Is exalted
among this people the idea is becom-
ing more firmly fixed that 1t is not
vast territory, great wealth nor large
learning which mark the real status Of

Wild West Feature.
One of the features getting instant
applause and wild war whoops was a
band of American Indians, dressed in
native costume, from Maricopa coun-
ty, Ariz. An Indian band and two
hundred cowboys were the Indians es-
cort, forming the "wild west" section
of the parade. They represented the
Democratic central committee of Mari
