THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS.

March 4h and gone and America finds itself
regime This charge in directing heads has been
long aousy awaited by groups of American citizens
but probably by none so anxiousy as by ourselves
We have been given to feel that IN the retirement Oh
Woodrow Wilson and his Democratic regime and the assumption
by President Harding and the Republican party Of the direction
justice all American citizens would be ushered in and that
group representing tenth of the American population and
possibly higher percent its production would be enabled to
nearly approach the fuller opportunities which are justly
far hopes for definite action in regard to the
things which most vitality will be realized cannot yet
tempts to bring pass the fuller realization of American ideals
which he has absolutely committed himself in his inaugural
America generally
II is noticeable that his inaugural address gave hint of
how attempt bring this state of prosperity to
has he done this in of his speeches He does however give
full that he accepts the highest office in the nation S
prosperity and social justice follow his pursuance OF the
These policies as shown by of his inaugural adj
dress will follow the lines heretofore mentioned and they include
prov of the formation conference reduction of taxes
and abnormal expenditures, and industrial peace !, ii
His plea for industrial peace based on his assumption hat
fundamental law recognizes class group section
may needed by America generally We hope that may
making ali citizens fit for participation which will added
strength and citizenship and magnify achievement"
There be doubt that the Harding administrator
faced by many grave problems which demand adjustment
While these problems are both foreign and domestic 1t Is not
problems will depend the success OF those foreign to no small e
The American ideals to which President Harding has
mtted himself demand that welfare become the goal OF
national endeavo To him probably more than to any former
president the demand for the creation of greater ua
ty of opportunity among citizens
His great opportunity for service 1t will probably be
found true that this is crucial period Americas attempt at
the vndcaton the principle of democracy If Harding fails
firmly mpantng in the mind of America its need
for closer adherence to principle upon which founded
coming years may witness further breaking down of the
pect for that principle and its ultimate failure.
We believe that President Harding is sincere in his utter
ances believe that in far he able he will devote
himself to upbudng of stronger Amercanism, greater
sricter more widespread administration of justice which shall
be reflected in greater and truly welfare
he
Lynchne segregation lack of protection by law and things
of like nature have operated that to certain American groups
ourselves in particular the welfare has been greatly limited
Tt our hope that in his attempt at bringing fuller Amer
cansm into being President Harding give true valuation o
ynchng and discrimination and fight their eXis
ence with that ardor which will result in their removal.
He truly has opportunity for service,
