Acting Governor Presents Seal
In delivering the great seal of New
Jersey to the new governor, Acting
Governor Case said:
1T is my privilege and duty to dc
liver into your custody the great seal
of the state of New Jersey. Governor,
have come. served their day and gone.
Legislature has succeeded Legislature.
Constitutions have been made and.
when necessary to conform to the will
of the people, rcmade. Wars have been
waged and won. But this ancient seal,
the solemn symbol of organized society,
has endured. 1t is the composite mark
of liberty. law and order. that trinity
which reigns wheresoevcr this matriS
has impressed its beloved characters.
Pray God it may ever be thus. Liberty
without law is license; law without

is confusion. 1t is by the happy com
bining of these factors that men prosper
in their pursuit of happiness, peace and
plenty.
Times change, so do the problems
and activities of society. Little did
the craftsman of this seal conceive,
little did the governor to whose hands
this precious symbol was first en-
trusted, forecast the tremendous growth
of population and of industries within
its jurisdiction.
1.-The structure of society is not pet
rified. 1t is no mummied shell of an
ancient ideal. 1t is a living. nervous
organism To function it must give up
it's outworn substance and be replen-
ished. Such is the law of life. 1t is
for government TO live; to grow. but
not abnormally; to do. but not to
overdo.
"Befor, yoC, sir. the activities and
problems, the hopes and aspirations of
100000 people are assembled. To
you these people look with the as
surance that with all the force and
sagacity you possess or can command
you will serve and protect them; serve
