Governors Inaugural Ad-
dress Remarkable for Re
forms Recommended.
RECEIVES OVATION
FROM GREAT CROWD
Many New Commissions Urged by
New Governor, Who Shows That
Their Creation Will Effect Better
ment and Economy.

Little Rock, Jan. Outstanding or
representatives with members Of
house and senate and several hundred
citizens-all that COULD crowd in tn,
chamber-Gov Chas. II. Brough this
afternoon delivered his inaugural al
dress. In many respects this was the
most remarkable address ever de-
livered by governor of Arkansas
Its reception was most enthusiastic.
and in every para graph there was a
suggestion Of constructive legislation
Governor Brough recommended the
return to the old form of government
for the state charitable institutions
through an honorary board Of repre-
sentative citizens. separate board
for the Confederate home. which he
does not class as 3 charitable insti
tuition, and a comprehensive financial
system which will put the state war
rants Immediately at par by the is
suance of bonds to dare for the pres
ent Indebtedness, and then increase
revenues so as TO retire the bonds
when they come due.
In many places Dr.. Trough evidenc~
ed a keen appreciation Of the presence
of women on state boards for in mJ;t
of the commissions he suggested, he
left the inference that women were ac-
ceptable as members. DR. Brough
suggested some twelve Or fifteen com
missions to study different phases OF
the states affairs, ami commenting
upon his wholesale recommendations
along this line, stated that the cost
would be so small that if any one of
the commissions accomplished any.
thing it would more than pay for the
cost Of all.
At the conclusion of his address, DR..
Brough was forced to shake hands
with every one in the hall, and was
the recipient Of several mammoth
boquets of flowers.
One former governor, Geo. W. Dom
aghey, attended the inaugural, Gov
ernor Hays, who retired when DR..
Brough took the oath of office at
noon, did not honor the occasion with
his presence.

mcnt whose citizens are engaged IN

has not laid an embargo against their
sale and shipment to the boIIigcrcnts

Denmark, August 6,19li.
Italy, August /, 1914.
Norway, December %, 1919, and

Portugal, August B. 1911.
Sweden, September l6, 1914.
Switzerland, August 10, 1914.
The Republic of Brazil on August
4, 1914, declared as follows:
"The expectation of war material
from Brazilian ports to any of those
of the powers at war is strictly for
hidden, whether such expectation be
under the Brazilian flag or that Of
any other country"
These governments have prohibited
their citizens from participating in
the munitions traffic under the pro
visions of The Hague agreement OF
1899.
Under paragraph 7 of that
agreement a neutral nation like
the United States is free to per-
NIT its citizens to sell NUM-

prohibit such traffic.
