t.me are working great advances In
every activity Of man The forces OF
human intelligence have carried us to
q point of higher moral vision, and II
would have been a distinct anomaly
OF history II government had not been
carried on In the progress of the time.
1t requires considerable faith in the
righteousness of cause to turn face
from the old order Of things mindful
that in the plans and policies Of gov
ernment about to be adopted are in
volved the hope and aspirations, the
happiness and general welfare Of five
million human souls.
/ sense therefore the sublime re-
sponsibility of this hour!
But history tells us that while we
can profit immeasurably by the expert
ence Of the past, every government
that has endured, kept its face to-
ward the sunrise and not the sunset
OF civilization. We must feed on tho
vitality Of growth; not on the decay
OF decline, We reverence the works
Of our fathers, and seek to prove our.
selves the worthy sons OF worthy sires,
by making as great development in
our time as they made in theirs, Ours
is not the creed Of the cynic, looking
with scorn upon the institutions Of
yesterday. Civilization is simply re-
law race. and unless we take ii up

takes will be made because govern.
n ent Is the creature OF man. But IL
civilization from its beginning had fol-
lowed the course Of least resistance
and not approached uncertainty with
experimentation, this old world OF ours
would present a far different aspect.
An advanced civilization does not
refine government from caprice, but
from necessity. The savage needs no
government, because the interdepend-
ence Of human units is not charac-
teristic of his existence. AS a race
progresses dependence on each other
Increases. and the meaning of exact
Justice to all Is understood and the
enforcement of that principle in gov
ernment Is demanded.
The genius of man has invented no
system better fitted to work greater
national destiny than the even bal
anced relation of our federal and state
government. In our commonwealth
there is now a marked tendency TO-
ward a large measure of home rule
for municipalities and an increased
opportunity in their community af-
fairs. At the same time there Il ex-
acted an increased police power from
the state in the projects of general
human welfare that can only be kept
uniform in their beneficence by opera
ton of the state unit Experience has
demonstrated the soundness of the
theory. In practice it brings added re-
sronsibility with reference to matters
of closer contact, and as VIC stimulate
interest in the plain duty Of citizen
ship we are, by improved community
life, building a state structure of great.

James M. Cox Duly InRugurated
Governor Of OhiO-GaIa Oc-

of the Day
Columbus, o., Jan. 13-James Nc
Mahon Cox is now governor Of Ohio
the forty-sixth man to hold the high,
est office in the gift of the state. The
Inauguration ceremonies proper were
simple and brief, but the parade, re,
ception and ball contributed the spec.
tacular features, and permitted the
general public to assist in the cele.
bration.
Governor-elect Cox was conducted
to the state house from his home by
an escort Of cavalry and citizens at
1O:30. He went direct to the COVER
nor's office, where retiring Governor
Judson Harmon was waiting. Shortly
after II o'clock the governors and
party ascended to the platform that
had been erected in the rotunda. On
the platform were seated Lieutenant
Governor Nichols, Senate President
Pro TEN Green, Speaker Charles L.
Swain and the legislative and citi.
zens' inaugural committees. The pro-
gram was opened by the Fourth Reg
iment band, followed by the Demo-
cratic Glee club. Invocation was pro-
nounced by Rev. w. c. Hale of Day
ton, Governor Cox's pastor, and Unit
ed States Judge John E. Safer, the
president of the day, delivered brief
address, in which he presented the
new governor. Governor Harmon then
delivered to Governor Cox his official
commission.
This brought the ceremony up to
the noon hour, and just as the bells
were changing the hour, with his hand
resting on the family Bible, which had
descended to him from his grand
father, Governor Cox spoke the words
which pledged him to uphold the con-
stitution and laws of the state Of
Ohio and administer them to the best
of his ability. The oath was read by
Chief Justice John A. Schauck of the
supreme court, Governor Cox repeat
ing after him. AS the first words were
pronounced, signal was given to the
firing squad from battery C, which
doomed out the governors salute of
II guns, re-echoed by the Trinity
chimes.
Then, as governor in fact, Mr.. Cox
delivered his inauguration address.
In his inaugural address, delivered
in the rotunda of the state house, Gov

WOULD PROBE SHORTAGE
Cox Would Have Hogan Try to Fix
the Responsibility.

Columbus, o., Jan. 15.-One of the
first official acts Of Governor Cox was
to send to Attorney General Hogan a
letter authorizing him to present to
the grand jury, if he thought wise,
charges made in connection with a
$4,000 discrepancy in the cash ac-
count of the Columbus Savings and
Trust company This came to light
only this week, although it developed
on Feb 26, 1912, when the bank
failed The bank tellers reported a
greater total in the cash account than
was found by the state department
examiners that night. Neither the
examiners nor the bank attaches will
assume the responsibility for the
shortage.

ARCHIBALD FOUND GUILTY
Stripped of Office and Disqualified
From Holding Position of Trust.

Washington, Jan. IA. - Adjudged
guilty by the United States senate of
high crimes and misdemeanors,
Judge Robert w. Archibald of Scran-
ton, Pa, was stripped of his Office
and forever disqualified from holding
position of public honor or public
trust.
Judge Archibald was for "a years an
occupant of judicial positions on
the Pennsylvania state bench, the
federal bench and the United States
commerce court.
The conviction and judgment came
at the conclusion of the impeachment
trial that has been pending in the
senate since last summer on charges
that Judge Archibald had been guilty
of misconduct and misbehavior as a
judge, and that he had corruptly used
his judicial power to further the pri-
vate interests of himself and his
friends, in the acquisition of coal
land properties in Pennsylvania.

Columbus, o., Jan. 16. 80 Liquor
forces won tho first round Of their
fight when they practically persuaded
the joint house and senate committee
to conduct only two hearing on the
license bill. These VII be held Mon
day and Tuesday nights and admis-
sion will be by ticket only. Each
solon will be allotted three tickets.
The limitation on the size Of the au-
dience is sought to prevent demon
strations.
Superintendent Wayne B. Wheeler
Of the Anti-Saloon league appeared
for the drys and Nicholas Dutle Of
Dayton for the vets. The temperance
forces said two hearings were not
enough. There is no expectation that
either Of the bills now proposed for
license will be passed. A compromise
measure is expected, and in this the
liquor people are expected to have the
best of it.
Governor Cox got instantaneous ac.
ton on his anti-lobby bill to put cor
rupt lobbyists in the penitentiary.
The bill was given its second reading
and referred to committees in both
the senate and house. The bill pro-
vides that whatever person or con-
Germ employs a lobbyist shall, within
a week, furnish the secretary of state
with his name. The lobbyist also
must register, giving the name of his
employer and what legislation he is
to work on. Fines and Imprisonment
are provided for violations of the act.
AS rider the bill carried an emer-
gency clause, exempting it from ref
erendum to popular vote.
The house, ia to 0, ratified the pro-
posed amendment to the federal con-
stitution providing for the direct cleo
ton of United States senators. Rep
resentative Robert Black of Cincin-
natl said word had been received
from Speaker Champ Clark and the
president pro TEN. of the United
States senate tSat the proposal had
been properly passed in congress, de.

Senator Potting of Akron stated
that his joint resolution for a special
election next September to amend the
constitution to allow municipalities to
classify property for taxation and ex-
empt from taxation any sort of prop
erty so classified, was a simon-pure
home rule tax measure. Potting, a
single-taxer, admitted the bill would
allow cities to adopt single tax, but
maintained that was merely inciden-
tai to home rule.
