"There has been change of govern.

in its own plans and point of view.
This Is not day of triumph; it is q
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? sum-
mon all honest men, all patriotic, all
forward looking men to my side. God
helping me will not fail them il they
will but council and sustain me.
This is the high enterprise of the
new day; to lift everything that con.
Germs our life as q nation to the light
that shine from the hearth fire of every
mans conscience and vision Of right.
We shall restore. not destroy.
Justice and only justice shall always
be our motto.
We know our task to be no mere task
Of politics.
There can be no equality Of oppor-
tunity, the first essential of justice In
the body politics, II the men, women
and children are not shielded In their
lives from the industrial and social
processes which they cannot alter, con-
troll or singly cope with.
The first duty of law is to keep sound
the society 1t serves.
Our duty is to cleanse, to reconsider
to restore, to correct the evil without
impairing, to purify and humanize ev-
cry process of our common life without
weakening or sentamentalizing it,
