O O I 1 rMCW umeT txccunvc o?oneinyc ui w Government Means the Nation Is Jp Using Democratic Patry for Large and Definite Purpose, Washington, March 4. ? Looking upon the victory of the Democratic party as the mandate of the nation to correct the evils that have been allowed to grow up in our national life, President Wilson in his inaugural address today called on all honest men to assist him in carrying out the will of the people. Following is his ad dress: There has been a change of government. It began two years ago, when the house of representatives became 1 Democratic by a decisive majority. It has now been completed. The seno tr\ aaeomhlfi will alsn he atv nvvuv. w ..... M Democratic. The offices of president and vice-president have been put into the hands of Democrats. What does the change mean? That is the question that is uppermost in our minds j today. That is the question I am go- j ins to try to answer, in order, if I ! may, to interpret the occasion. New Insight Into Our Life. fefe It means much more than the mere 0 success of a party. The success of a party means little except when the nation is using that party for a large and definite porpose. No one can mistake the purpose for which the j 1? x. i.i? ^ I nation now see&s iu use LUC ueuiv j cratic party. It seeks to use it to in- j terpret a change in its own plans and j point of view. Some old things with j which we had grown familiar, and : which had begun to creep into the j very habit of our thought and of our j lives, have altered their aspect as we have latterly looked critically upon them, with fresh, awakened eyes; have dropped their disguises and x shown themselves alien and sinister. Some new things, as we look frankly upon them, willing to comprehend their real character, have come to as- j sume the aspect of things long believ- j ? J fomiliar cfiifp nf nil r nwTl i 1U auu tamiiia:, ovuu UA . ..? convictions. We have been refreshed by a new insight into our own life. 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 j > which have been conceived and built j up by the genius of individual men I and the limitless enterprise of groups j of men. It is great, also, very great, I in its moral force. Nowhere else in the world have noble men and women exhibited in more striking form the beauty and energy of sympathy and helpfulness and counsel in their efforts to rectify wrong, alleviate suffering,! ? and set the weak in the way of | ^ strength and hope. We have built up, moreover, a great system of govern- j ft ment, which has stood through a long r i -age as in many respects a model for I those who seek to set liberty upon ! - - * " ? * ! i. I foundations tnat wm enaure agtuu&i i fortuitous change, against storm and accident. Our life contains every i great thing, and contains it in rich abundance. Human Cost Not Counted. But the evil hps come with the j good, and much fine gold has been corroded. With riches has come in t excusable waste. We h?ve squandered a great part of what we might have used, and have not stopped to conserve the exceeding bounty of nature, without which our genius for enterprise would have been worthless and impotent, scorning to be careful, | shamefully prodigal as well as admir-j ably efficient. We have been proud of j our industrial achievements, but wej ^ have not hitherto stopped thought- j fully enough to count the human cost,! the cost of lives snuffed out, of ener- i gies overtaxed and broken, the fear-: t ful physical and spiritual cost to the | men and women and children upon whom the dead weight and burden of it all has fallen pitilessly the years through. The groans and agony of it all had not vet reached our ears, the solemn, moving undertone of our life, coming up out of the mines and factories and out of every home where the struggle had its intimate and familiar seat. With the great government went many deep secret things which we too long delayed to look j into and scrutinize with candid, fear- j less eyes. The great government we! loved has too ofter been made use of for private and selfish purposes, and those who used it had forgotten the people. At last a vision has been vouchsafed us of our life as a whole. We; see the bad with the good, the de- j based and decadent witn tne souna 1 and vital. With this vision we approach new affairs. Our duty is to cleanse, to reconsider, to restore, to correct the evil without impairing the good, to purify and humanize every ; process of our common life without i weakening or sentimentalizing it.1 There has been something crude antf heartless and unfeeling in our haste to succeed and be great. Our thought has been 'Let every man look our. for him-; Scii, let e?Civ- gc-L;CiLi.iGii looi* out tor | : Itself,' while we rT.rod ginnr machinery which made if impossible that any ! j tut those who stood at the levers of i control should have a chance to look out lor themselves. We had not/ for- j gotten our morals. We remembered : well enough that we had set up a policy which was meant to serve the humblest as well as tlie most power- j ful, with an eye single to the standards of justice and fair play, and remembered it with pride. But we were j very heedless and in a hurry to be ; great. tihier items in program. We have come now to the sober second thought. The scales of heedlessness have fallen from our eyes. We have made up our minds to square j ^rrnrrr nr-nnoco f nil r r> Q tl Afl "> 1 11 f P OT CiJ JVVVOJ VI. v'Ui again with the standards we so proud ly set up at the beginning and have j always carried at our hearts. Our j work is a work of restoration. We have itemised with some degree Df particularity the things that ought to be altered and here are some of the chief items: A tariff which cuts us off from our proper part in the J commerce of the world, violates the just principles of taxation, and makes the government a raciie instrument in the hands of private interests; a banking and currency system based upon the necessity of the government to sell its bonds fifty years ago and per- i fectly adapted to concentrating cash j and restricting credits; an industrial system which, take it on all its sides, financial as well as administrative, j holds capital in leading strings, re- I stricts the liberties and limits the op- ! portunities of labor, and exploits with- j out renewing or conserving the nat- l ural resources of the country; a body j of agricultural activities never yet j given the efficiency of great business j nr>Hort?>lrinp'<3 nr sprveri as it. should be 1 ? through the instrumentality of science j taken directly to the farm, or afforded j the facilities of credit best suited to ; its practical needs; water courses un- j developed, waste places unreclaimed, ! forests untended, fast disappearing ! without plan or prospect of renewal, i unregarded waste heaps at every mine. | We have studied as perhaps no other I natinn has the most effective means ; of production, but we have not studied cost or economy as we should either as organizers of industry, as statesmen, or as individual?. Matters of Justice. Nor have we studied and perfected the means by which government may be Dut at the service of humanity, in safeguarding the health of the nation, the health of its men and its women and its children, as well as their rights in the struggle for existence. This is no sentimental duty. The firm basis of government is justice, not pity. These are matters of justice. There can be no equality or opportunity, the first essential of justice in the body I politic, if men and women and chfl- ! dren be not shielded in their lives, j their very vitality, from the conse- ! quences of great industrial and social j processes which they cannot alter, contiol or singly cope with. Society . must see to it that it does not itself crush or weaken or damage its own j constituent parts. The first duty of ! law is to keep sound the society it ; serves. Sanitary laws, pure food laws, j and laws determining conditions of i labor which individuals are powerless i to determine for themselves are inti- j mate parts of the very business of jus-1 tice and legal efficiency. These are some or tne tnings we : ought to do, and not leave the others j undone, the old-fashioned, never-to-be- j neglected, fundamental safeguarding | of property and of individual right. ; This is the high enterprise of the new day; to lift everything that concerns our life as a nation to the light that shines from the hearthfire of every | man's conscience and vision of the ! ?i. _ j 1 UU I rxgnc. it is mcuuueivauie iuai< , should do this as partisans; it is inconceivable we should do it in ignorance of the facts as they are or in blind haste. We shall restore, not destroy. We shall deal with our economic system as it Is and as it may be modified, not as it might be if we had a clean sheet of paper to write upon; and step by step we shall make it what it should be, in the spirit of those who question their own wisdom and seek counsel and knowledge, not i shallow self-satisfaction or tne excite merit of excursions whither they cannot tell. Justice, and only justice, shall always be our motto. Task Not One of Politics. And yet it will be no cool process ; of mere science. The nation has been deeply stirred, stirred by a solemn | passion, stirred by the knowledge of J wrong, of ideals lost, of government i tnn nffpn riehanphed and made an in- i strument of evil. The feelings wiili ! which we face this new age of right ! and opportunity sweep across our i heart-strings like some air out of! God's owl. presence, where justice and i mercy are reconciled and the judge and the brother are one. We know our task to be no mere task of politics, but a task which shall search us through and through, whether we be able to understand our time and the need of our people, whether we be indeed their spokesmen and interpre ters, whether we have the pure heart to comprehend and the rectified will to choose our high course of action. This is not a day of triumph; it is j a day of dedication. Hero muster, not, the .'orces of party, but the forces of i humanity. Men's hearts wait upon us: j men's lives hang in tne Daiance; men s ; hopes call upon us to say what we i will do. Who shall live up to the i great trust? Who dares fail to try? J I summon all honest men, all patriotic, all forwardlooking men, to my side. God helping me, I will not fail them, if they will but counsel and sustain : ?e! 1 f Tomato CIul) WorV. Vorkville Enquirer. The Farmer's Co-operative Demonstration Work of the United States d-e- i partment of agriculture would be in-! complete unless some work for the ! girls was inaugurated and organized. I When Dr. S. A. Knapp, the rounder of i the demonstration work, started the clubs, he did that it would be nececssary to start the girls just as soon as the boy's demonstrations had become well advanced. Consequently in 1910, when the demand had become great enough to indicate sufficient interest, a limited amount of organization was undertaken. Girls' clubs were organized in South Carolina and Virginia. In j oi M - J cniiL veai gins were enronea. It was decided that one-tenth of an acre would he enough for a good garden, and that the clubs would specialize, in the beginning, on tomatoes, just as the boys had done with corn. In 1911 more than three thousand girls, ~ i. : representing eigUL umereui ounes joined the clubs and planted th-eir gardens. Many of them put up more than five hundred quarts of tomatoes from their crops besides ketchup, pickles, chowchow. preserves and other products. A few got nearly one thousand cans each and cleared $100, besides prizes. In 1912 one girl in South Carolina cleared $132.67 on one-tenth of an acre of tomatoes. During the planting and growing | season, your county agent win give instructions in regard to cold frames, hot beds, transplanting, staking, pruning, and other matters of great interest. During the canning season sh-e will hold instruction meetings and give canning demonstrations in different parts of the county. She will give the girls information in regard to best j prices on canning outfits, labels, cans j and other supplies. The agent will b-e srlad to do all she can to help club j ? members find good markets for all high class products which they desire to sell. The objects of the Girl's Demonstra- i tion Work are: 1. To stimulate interest and wholesome co-operation among th? members of the family in the house. 2. To provide .-ome means to proTM.ror. or>/} hpttpr foo/1 at a lower i ? *u\/ yu* Vi ? V/ vwV? ? cost, and to utilize the surplus and oth-erwise waste products of the gar-j den and orchard. 4. To furnish earnest teachers a > plan for aiding their pupils and help-1 ing their communities. Each club should adopt the following general regulation and bylaws: 1. Girls joining clubs must be be-J tween 10 and 18 years of age. Special classes may be organized for older; girls. 2. !No girl shall be eligible to receive I a prize unless she becomes a member of the club and plants a garden con- | taining one-tenth of an acre. 3. The members of the clubs must i agree to study the instructions of the United States department of agri?ul CUi c. 4. Each girl must plant her own crop j and do her own work. ,It will be per-! missible to hire heavy work done, but i the time must be charged. Many girls should join these- clubs \ and put forth their best efforts to learn and become skillful. It is a good thing to know about .plants, soil and nature.

One morning, after a meeting at which Hughes had made a big speech and had been eninusiasnccmy icun-i. ed, Hughes got the papers; but there was not a line about him. It was all Wilson.
