PRESIDENT WiLSoiT
FOR JUSTICE ONLY
His Inaugural Address Calls on
All Unripst Mpn tn AiH in
me nanus or Democrats. What does
the chango mean? That is the question
that is uppermost in our minds
today. That is the question I am going
to try to answer, in order, if I
may, to interpret the occasion.
New Insight Into Our Life.
It means much more than the mere
success of a party. The success of a
party means little except when thu
nation is using that party for a large
and deliuite porpose. No one can
mistake the purpose for which the
nation now seeks to use the Democratic
party. It seeks to use it to interpret
a change in its own plans and
point of view. Some old things with
which we had grown familiar, and
which had begun to creep into the
very habit of our thought and of our
lives, have altered their aspect as we
have latterly looked criticully upon
them, with fresh, awakened eyes;
have dropped their disguises and |
Known tneinselves alien and sinister.
Some new things, as we look frankly
upon them, willing to comprehend
their real character, have come to assume
the aspect of things long believed
in and familiar, stuff of our own
convictions. We have been refreshed
by a new insight into our own lifo.
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
and the limitlesB enterprise of groups
of men. It is great, also, very great,
in its moral force. Nowhere else in
the world have noble men and women
exhibited in mope' striking form the
beauty and energy of sympathy and
helpfulness, ahd counsel in their efforts
to rectify wrong, alleviate suffering,
and j^t the weak in the way of
strength and hope. We have built up.
myreover, a great system of governyfent,
which has stood through a long
,,4ige as in many respects a model for
/ those who seek to set liberty upon
foundations that will endure against |
fortuitous chai.ge, against storm and
accident. Our life contains every
trreat thine and rnntnina It In rlnli
abundance.
Human Cost Not Counted.
Dut the evil has come with the
good, and much lino gold has been
corrotfed. With riches has come inexcusable
waste. We have squandered
a great part of what we might
have used, and have not stopped to
conserve the exceeding bounty of nature.
without which our geniua for enterprise
would have been worthless
anu impotent, scorning to be careful,
shamefully prodigal as well as admirubly
efllcient. We have been proud of
our Industrial achievements, but wo
have not hitherto stopped thoughtfully
euough to count the human coat,
the cost of lives snuffed out, of energies
overtaxed and broken, the fearful
physical and spiritual cost to the
men and women and children upon
whom the dead weight and burden of
It all haB fallen pitilessly the years
through. The groans and agony of It
all had not yet 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 deen secret things
which we too long delayed to look
Into and scrutinize with candid, fearless
eyes. The great government we
loved has too often been made ubo 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 debased
and decadent with the sound
and vital. With this vision we approach
new affairs. Our duty la 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
weakening or sentimentalizing it.
There has been something crude and
heartless and unfeeling in our haste to
succeed and be great. Our thought has
been "Let every man look out for himself.
let every generation look out for

His Task.
WILL RESTORE, NOT DESTROY
New Chief Executive Says Change of
Government Means the Nation Is
Using Democratic Patry for
Large and Definite Purpose.
Washington, March 4. ? Looking
upon tho victory of the Democratic
party as the mandate of the nation to
correct tho 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 address:
There has been a change of government.
It began two years ago, when
the house of representatives became
Democratic by a decisive majority.
It has now been completed. Tho senate
about to assemble will also be
Democratic. The offices of president
and vice-president have been put into
Itself,' while we reared giant machinery
which made it impossible that any
but those who stood at the levers o<
control should have a chance to look
out for themselves. We had not for
gotten our morals. We remembered
well enough that we hi d set up a
policy which was meant to serve the ;
humblest as well :ih
uiui icoumics ui me couniry; a DOdy
of agricultural activities never yet
given the efficiency of great business
undertakings or served as it should bo
through the instrumentality of science
taken directly to the farm, or afforded
the facilities of credit best suited to
its practical needs; water courses undeveloped,
waste places unreclaimed,
forests untended, fast disappearing
without plan or prospect of renewal,
unregarded waste heaps at every mine. I
We have studied as perhaps no other J
nation has the most effectivo meanB
of production, but we havo not studieu
cost or economy as we should either i
as organizers of Industry, as statesmen,
or as Individuals.
Matters of Justice.
Nor have we studied and perfected
the means by which government may
be put at the service of humanity, in j
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 aro matters of justice. There
can be no equality or opportunity, the ,
first essential of justice in .the body '
politic, if men and women and children
be not shielded in their lives,
their very vitality, from the conse- !
quences of great industrial and social
processes which they cannot alter,
control or singly cope with. Society 1
must see to it that it does not Itself
crush or weaken or damage its own
constituent parts. The first duty of
law is to keep sound the society it
serves. Sanitary laws, pure food laws. I
and laws determining conditions of
labor which Individuals are powerless
to determine for themselves are inti- j
mate parts of tho very business of jus
tlco and legal efficiency.
These are some of the things we
ought to do. and not leave the others
undone, the old-fashioned, never-to-be- I
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 tho
right. It is inconceivable that wo
should do this as partisans; it is in
conceivable we should do It in ignorance
of the facta as they are or in
blind haste. Wo 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 wo
had a clean sheet of paper to writo
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
shallow Belf-satisfaction or the excito
ment of excursions whither they cannot
tell. Justice, and only justice,
shall alwayc 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
wrong, of ideals lost, of government
too often debauched and made an instrument
of evil. The feelings with
which wo face this new age of right
and opportunity sweep across our
heart-strings like soino air out of
God's ow: presence, where justice and
mercy are reconciled and the Judgo
and tho brother are one. We know
um WOK 1?J L?e um Iiieru lasa or pOllUCB,
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 in|
deed their spokesmen and interpreI
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
a day of dedication. Here muster, not
the Torces of party, but the forces of
humanity. Men's hearts wait upon us;
men's lives hang in the balance; men's
hopes call upon us to say what we
will do. Who shall live up to the
great trust? Who dares fail to try?
I summon all honest men, all patriotic,
all forwardiooking men, to my side.
God helping me, I will not fall them,
if they will but counsel and sustain
me!
l'ul, with an eye single to the standards
of justice and fair play, and remembered
it with pride. Hut we were
very heedless and in a hurry to be
great.
Chief Items in Proararr..
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
every process of our national life
again with the standards we so proudly
set up at the beginning and have 1
always carried at our hearts. Our j
work is a work of restoration.
We have itemized with some degree
of particularity the things that ought
to be altered and bore ar** some of
the chief items: A tariff which cuts
us off from our proper part in the
commerce of the world, violates the
Just principles of taxation, and makes
the government a facile instrument in
the hands of private interests; a bank- '
ing and currency system based upon
the necessity of the government to
sell its bonds fifty years ago and perfectly
adapted to concentrating cash
and restricting credits; an industrial
system which, take it on all its sides. '

INAUGURAL MS[
OF FORMER YEARjS
How George Washington Became
President at Federal Hall inl
New York City.
1
FALSE STORY OF JEFFERSON
"Simplicity" of His Inauguration a
Myth Traced to English Writer?
Jackson Fairly Mobbed by
Motley Throng.
By EDWARD WEBSTER.
From the very beginning of the nation,
inauguration day has generally
been a day of display and festivity
for the people of the United States,
though at times national conditions
have made it an occasion more solemn
than joyous. Rut always the induction
of a new president has been a noteworthy
and interesting event.
When George Washington was in
augurated the first president in 1783.
New York was the temporary capital
of the young nation, and it was there
that the ceremony took place after
General Washington had ridden from
his home at Mount Vernon in what
was much like a triumphal progress.
Welcomed to New York.
Arriving at Elizabethtown Point,
N J., on April 23, he entered a barge
rowed by 12 .pilots clad in white,
and passed through the Kill von Kull
into Now York harbor, which was full
of all manner of craft gaily decorated
and loaded with cheering crowds. The
Spanish man of war Galveston broke
out the colors of all nations, and
lired a salute of 13 guns, to which the
American frigate North Carolina responded.
Finally, on April 30, ail was ready !
for the Inauguration. Washington j
v as escorted to Federal hall, then
.he capitol, which stood on the site of
the present sub-treasury at Wall and
Hroad streets. Tho streets had been
filled since sunrise with waiting
crowds, and the enthusiasm was intense.
In the senate chamber Washington
was joined by Adams, Knox,
Hamilton. VOll Stenhon ninl n mh
ers, and all of them appeared on tlio
balcony. Robert R. Livingston, chancellor
of New York, administered the
oath and cried "Long livo George
Washington, president of the United
States," whereupon there broke out
a mighty tumult of cheering, bell-ringing
and the noise of cannon. ReturningJm
the senate chamber. President

- uddress and tlio history of the
United States under tho constitution

Jefferson Story False.
If you are a good Democrat, no
doubt you believe that Thomas Jefferson
rode unattended to the capitol on
horseback, tied ids horse to th
fence, and was inaugurated with less
ceremony than would attend the tuklng
of offlee by a keeper of a dog
pound. Such la the old story, but it
is pure myth and is tlrst found in
a book of travels in the United
States written by John Davis, an Englishman.
Davis asserted that he was
an eye-witness of the simple ceremony
which ho described, but it has been
W..V, vr viutft IUC AJt'XI
Chief Justice White.
proved that he was not In Washington
at the time.
The inauguration of Jefferson, which
marked the defeat of the Federalist
party of Hamilton. Washington,
Adams and Jay, was the Hrst to take
place in Washington. The newly established
national capital, then but
a few months old, contained only 3,000
inhabitants, many of them negroes;
the houses were mostly huts and the
streets muddy roads. The big event
was thus described in the Philadelphia
Aurora of March 11; 1801;
"At an early hour on Wednesday,
March 4, the city of Washington presented
a spectacle of uncommon animation
occasioned by the addition to
its usual population of a large body
of citizens from the adjacent districts.
A discharge from the company of
Washington artillery ushered in the
day. and about nnn '? ?' ?

Cioneu niai L uw
ceremonies be made very simple, but
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson.
tho masses were too hilarious to heed
the request. Tho weather was pleasant
and the east front of tho capitol
was usoil for tho first time for the inauguration.
In front of It surged
10,000 persons who were restrained
only by a great iron chain. Jackson
rode to the capitol on a white horse
and went through the ceremonies with
dignity, and started bark to tho White
House. Then began his troubles, for
tho people broke loose with a vengeance.
"The president was literally pursued
by a motley concourse of people, riding,
running, helter-skelter, striving
who should llrst gain admittance into
the executive mansion, where it was
understood that refreshments would
be distributed." wrote a contemporary,
Mrs. Samuel Harrison Smith. In
tnetr mad rush the crowds smashed
furniture and dishes and seized the
food as if they were starving. "The
confusion became more and more alpalling.
At one moment the president,
who had retreated until ho was
pregsed. against the wall of tlie apartment,
could only be secured against
serious^ danger by a number of gentlemen
linking arms and forming
themselves into a barrier. It was
then that the windows were thrown
open, and the living throng found an
outlet. It. was the people's day, the
people's president, and the people
would rule."
Too Much for Harrison.
For 12 years the Democrats controlled
the destinies of the country
and then the Whigs elected William
Henry Harrison, who was inaugurated
March 4, 1841. My this time transportation
was made easier by thebuilding
of railways and the crowd
that lloeked to Washington was ini
mense. It was much better behaved
than that which "honored" Jackson
but it was hungry for otllces.
Cold, wintry blasts swept the streets
of Washington that March day, and
Harrison, already old and rathe?
feeble, rode his white horse without
cloak or overcoat, and with his hat
off in salute to the cheering crowds
The line of march was uuprecedent
edly long, and so was the inaugural
address, and then the president lec
the procession back to the White.
House. The exposure was too much foi
him and within one month lie wa>

When Lincoln Took Hold.
Immensely dramatic was the ilrst
inauguration of Abraham Lincoln in
lXdl. From the day of his election
threats against his life were nuiner
ous, and detectives discovered and
foiled an organized plot to assassinate
him on his way to Washington. The
big bodies of troops that had been
employed at former inaugurations
merely to add pomp to the occasion
now were used for the protection ol
the president.
The day had opened cloudy, chilly
and dismal, but as the president stepped
forward to take the oath from
me aged Chief JuBtlce Taney the sun
burst through the clouds und shone
full on the bowed head of the man
who was to give up his life for the
country ho loved. Lincoln hlmsol!
noticed this "sunburst" and drew

I
andria company of riflemen with th?
company of artillery paraded in front
of the President's lodgings. At 12
o'clock Thomas Jefferson, attended by
a number of his fellow citizens, among
whom were many members of congress,
repaired to the capitol. His
dress was, as usual, that of -a plain
citizen, without any distinctive badge
of ofllce. He entered the cupltol under
r. discharge from the artillery. As
soon as he withdrew a discharge from
the artillery was made. Tho remainder
of the day was devoted to purposes
of festivity, and at night there
was a pretty general illumination."
"Man of the People."
When Andrew Jackson was elected
in the fall of 1828 tho people of the
west and the radical elements of the
south scored a triumph and he was
hailed as a "man of the people." This
character was emphasized on the day
of his inauguration the following
March, for never before had such a
huge motley throng gathered in Washington.
