After the hall was filled and all the minor otlicials of government and those privileged to witness the ceremonies were seated, William H. Taft and Woodrow Wilson, preceded by the sergeant-at-arins and the committee of arrangements, entered the Benate chamber. They were followed immediately by Vice-Presidentelect Thomas R. Marshall, leaning upon the arm of the president pro tempore of the senate who, after the seating of the incoming vice-president, took his place as presiding officer of the senate and of the day's proceedings. The president and the presidentelect sat in the first row of seats directly in front and almost under the desk of the presiding officer. In the came row, but to their left, were the ice-president-elect and two former ice-presidents of the United States, Levi P. Morton of New York and Adlal A. Stevenson of Illinois.

March 4.?President Wilson's Inaugural address, remarkable for Its brevity, was listened to with the greatest Interest by the vast ^ throng which was gathered in front of the Capitol's east portico, and at Its closo there was heard nothing but praise for Its eloquence and high moral tone. The address In full was j as follows: There has been a change of government. It began two years ago, when ^ the house of representatives became jb Democratic by a decisive majority. jio It has now been completed. The senate about to assemble will also be Democratic. The otllces of president I and vice-president have been put into , ' the hands of Democrats. What does J the change mean? That is tho qucs-J an ; tlon that is uppermost in our minds . I today. That is the question I am go- | | lng to try to answer, in order, If 1 1 ja ; may, to interpret the occasion. Purpose of the Nation. [ _ It means much mnrn tlinn fho more as | ~ 1 1 e_ BUCCC88 of a party. The success of a ( )n party means little except when the i ^ sjj nation Is using that party for a large , ? and definite purpose N'o one can y mistake the purpose for which tho , a8 nation now seeks to use the Demo- ( rratlc party. It seeks to use it to In- ( terpret a change in its own plans and e point of view. Some old thlngB with i which we had grown familiar, and )0. which had begnn to creep into the 0j very habit of our thought and of our lives, have altered their aspect as we have latterly looked critically upon ! m them, with fresh, awakened eyea; have dropped their disguises and shown themselves alien and sinister. Some new things, as we look frankly at i upon them, willing to comprehend r8 their real character, have come to asl(j ; Hume the aspect of things long believm. 1 ed in and familiar, stuff of our own I convictions. Wo have been refreshed by a new insight into our own life. v We see that in many things that ( life Is very great. It is incomparably great in its material aspects, in its body of wealth, in the diversity and sweep of its energy, in the industries which have been conceived and built up by the genius of individual men j and tho limitless enterprise of groups | ' of men. It is great, also, very great, | in its moral force. Nowhere else In | I the world have noble men and women ? i exhibited in more striking form the ! beauty and energy of sympathy and I j helpfulness and counsel in their efforts s 110 recury wrong. alleviate suffering, ? and sot the weak in the way of < ! strength ami hope. We have built up, t moreover, a great system of govern- i : ment, which litis stood tlirough a long < age as in many respects a model for ' those who seek to set liberty upon < foundations that will endure against < fortuitous change, against storm and s I* accident. Our life contains every i ureat tiling, and c? ? ains it in rich 1 abundance. j t Evils That Have Come. < ' | Hut the evil has come with the j , irood, and much fine gold lias been | I | corroded Willi riches has come in-' ! excusable waste. We have stpian- < j tiered a great part of what we might 1 have used and have not stopped to 1 conserve the exceeding bounty of na- i ' ture. witliout whieh our genius for en- i ferprise would liavo been worthless t and impotent, scorning to be careful, t shamefully prodigal as well as admlr- t ably efficient. We have been proud of i our industrial achievements, but wo i ar have not hitherto stopped thought- t lta fully enough to count the human coat, the cost of lives snuffed out, of ener. gles overtaxed and broken, the fear- < lD - - - - I im.miiai umj npirilUHl ro.Sl 10 TUB men and women and children upon jh whom the dead weight and burden of ^ It all has fallen pitilessly the years through The groans and agony of It all had not yet reached our ears, tho solemn, moving undertone of our life, f! 3 coming up out of the mines and factories and out of every home where the struggle had its Intimate and fa miliar seat.
