Wilson'S Inaugural Address

There has been a 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 assemble will be Democratic.
The offices of President and Vice-Presi-
dent have been put into the hands
of Democrats.
What does the change mean? Thet
is the question that is uppermost in
our minds today That is the question
l am going TO answer, in order, if l
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 ma
ton is using that parts for a large and
definite purpose No one can mis- take
the purpose for which the nation now
seeks to use the Democratic party. 1t
seeks to use it to interpret a change
in its own plan and point of view.
Nowhere else in the world have noble
men and women exhibited in more
striking forms the beauty and energy
of sympathy and helpfulness and coun-
ell in their efforts to rectify wrong,
alleviate suffering, and set the weak in
the way of strength and hope.
We have built up a great system of
government, which has stood through
long age as in many respects a model

for those who seek to set up liberty
upon foundations that will endure
against fortuitous changes, against
storm and accident. But the evil has
come with the good, and much fine
| gold has been corrcded. " Nth riches
come inexcusable waste.
We have been proud of our industri
achievements, but we have not hither-
to stopped thoughtfully enough to
count the human cost, the cost of lives
snuffed out, of energies overtaxed and
broken, the fearful physical and spirit
ual cost to the men and women and
children upon whom the dead weight
and burden of it all has fallen pitilessly
the years through.
The great Government we love has
too often been made use of for private
and selfish purposes, and those who used
it had forgotten the people.
Our duty is clearance, to reconsider,
to restore, to correct the evil without
impairing the good, to purify and
humanize every process of our common
life without weakening or sentimental
ling it.
We have come now to the sober Sc
cond thought. The scales of needless
ness have fallen from our eyes. We
have made up our minds to square every
process of our national life again with
the standards we so proudly set up at
the beginning and have always carried
at our hearts. Our work is work of
restoration.
The firm basis of government is JUS
tice, not pity. These are matters of
Justice. There can be no equality or
opportunity. the first essential of JUS
tice in the body polite, if men and
women and children be not shielded in
their lives, their very vitality, from
the consequences of great industl al and
social proc sses which they cannot alter,
control or singly cope with.
We shall restore, not destroy.
This is not 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 hopes
call upon US to say what we will do.
Who shall live up to the great trust?
Who dares fail to try?
l summon all honest men, all patrioc-
ic, all forward looking men to my side.
God helping me, will not fail them,
If they will but counsel and sustain me.
