Woodrow Wilson, former governor
of New Jersey, was inaugurated on
Tuesday afternoon aa the twenty
eighth president of the United States,
the eighth son of Virginia to rise to
that office and the II rat Democrat,
slntfe the second election of Grow
Cleveland, twenty years ago, to re
ceive the highest office in the gift of
tbe> American people.
Just one hour before the oath of
office as vice president had been ad
ministered to Thomas Riley Marshall,
former governor of Indiana.
Thus for the first time in sixteen
ye&ra the Democratic party came Into
control of the government again, amid
scenes of stirring animation and with
Impressive ceremonies, marked In th«
main by simplicity, and yet retaining
that degree of dignity, with some of
the pomp and spectacular display that
Inevitably attaches to the Induction ot
a new chief executive of the nation.
The elaborate ceremonies followed
a fixed program covering over five
hours. It began in the morning with
the drive of William Howard Taft, the
retiring president, the president-elect
and the vice presidentelect from the
White House to the capitol, where
until noon Mr. Taft was occupied with
the measures passed In the closing
hours of the Sixty-second congress.
The inauguration of Vice President
Marshall was practically coincident
with the assembling of the new senate
and the swearing In of the new sena
tors. Following this, came the chief
ceremony of the day, the inauguration
of President Wilson, before a crowd of
many thousands at the east front of
the capitol. Then came the return of
the presidential party to the White
House and the review of the inaugural
parade of 30,000 or more marchers,
military and civic.
Mr. Wilson and Mr. Marshall had re
mained with their families at their
hotels through the night. As the hour
approached for opening the ceremon
ies they were joined by the inaugural
committee of congress, made up of
Senators Crane, Bacon and Overman
and Representatives Rucker, Garrett
and McKlnley. To this committee was
assigned the flrst function of import
ance in the proceedings, that of con
ducting the new president and vice
president to' the White House for for
mal greetings with President Taft,
followed by the drive of the presiden
tial party to the capitol. •.
. The Ride to the Capitol.
Mr. Taft and Mr. Wilson occupied
carriages with the members of the in
augural committee; Mr. Marshall and
Senator Galllnger, president pro tem.
of the senste, following Immediately
In another carriage with other mem
bers of the committee; store carriages
following with members of the retir
ing cabinet,
Pennsylvania avenue and the main
thoroughfares converging at the oapl
tol were packed to witness this more
of the presidential party to the capi
tol. Prom the White Hoaae. to the
capitol steel cables strung along the
curb held back the spectators and all
traffic was suspended.
At the capitol the committee of ar
rangements was ready to conduct the
president and President elect Wilson
to the marble chamber known as the
president's room, Just off the lobby
leading to the senate chamber. Oth
ers of the committee were at hand to
conduct Mr. Marshall and Senator
Oalllnger to the vice president's room,
st the opposite end of the senate
lobby.
The arrival of the presidential party
was a full hour before the time set
for the Inauguration ceremony. This
was to give sufficient time to Mr. Taft
to sign or veto bills being passed tat
the last hour of ths expiring Bitty
second congress. The cabinet of the l
outgoing president accompanied him,
to Inspect bills pertaining to their de
partments and to advise the president
as to his signature or veto.
Meantime other thousands filed the
seats In the big amphitheater sur
rounding the platform at the east
front of the capitol, where the new
president later took oath of office and
delivered his Inaugural address.
The justices of the supreme court
were scheduled to be the flrst to eater,
but owing to the delay In proceedings,
they were preceded by the diplomatic
corps, as ths diplomats were ushered
Into Um senate chamber white All of
thote anniM#D PM#. The Jmtlcw of
the supreme court, handed by Chis*
Justice White, to their somber robes
of office, pros sating a marked contrast
to the brilliantly garbed diplomats,
followed.
The representatlvee of foreign na-1
Hons were headed by imbassartnt
Jusserand, of Trance, dean of the
diplomatic corps In the absence of the
venerable Baron Henjelmuller, the
ambassador of Austria, who Is absent i
from bis post on leave and to not ts
return. -
Then, escorted by the president pre!
tem of the senate, and a committee,
the Incoming vice president enter**

pared to be called to the rostrum to
take his oath.
Three minutes later Presldent-eleci
Wilson, with President Taft walking
by his side, and followed by members
of the retiring cabinet and the mem
ben of the committee on arrange
ments, was escorted Into the chamber.
The retiring and Incoming president
occupied chairs Immediately In front
of the vice president's rostrum.
. Msrshsll Takes ths Osth.
First In the order of the proceed
ings was the adminlstsring of the oath
of office to Vice President Marshall.
Arising from bis seat among the sen
ators, the new vice president was es
corted to the senate rostrum, to the
right of the presiding officer. The of
fioe of vice president being vacant by
reason of the death of James 8. Sher
man, the administration of the oath
to the new vice president fell to the
lot of Senator Oalllnger.
This brief ceremony was followed
with Impressive silence ss the oatli
was slowly repeated by the new offi
cial, standing with upraised hand.
Vice President Marshall had now
been formally Installed as the presid
ing officer of the senate. This much
accomplished, the senate of the Sixty
sscond congress' adjourned sine die
to reorganize Immediately as the new
senate of the Sixty-third congress,
with Its new presiding officer direct
ing Its affairs.
A prayer by the chaplain of thi
senste was the flrst formal action of
ths newly organised senate. With this
solemn function over. Vice President
Marshall delivered his inaugural ad
dress.
At this point the Inaugural cere
monies passed from the state of quiet
and solemnity In the senate chamber
to one full of color and animation as
the outdoor exercises of administer
ing the oath to the new president be
gan at. the east front of the capitol.
In the shadow of the great dome an
Immense stand to hold thousands had
been erected.
At the front and center of this vast
stage were the seats for President
Taft and President-elect Wilson. Chief
Justice White, about to administer the
oath of office, was seated at the right
of the president-elect. Flanking this
central group were the associate jus
tices of the supreme court, the vice
president, senators and former sens
tors. Back of them, ranged In order,
those who hsd come from the senate
chamber
In froups here and there Were gov
ernors of states, many of them with
their showy staffs of military and
civil officials.
Facing the inaugural platform was
a dense crowd of* spectators, many ot
whom had come hundreds of miles to
see the Democratic party enthroned
once more, which packed the wide
plasa and struggled for vantage point,
while further back the long lines of
military and civic organisations took
position to await the formation of the
parade.
New Praskfsnt Cheered.
The appearance of the incoming
president upon the portico was the
signal for round after round of cheers
arising from the throats of these
thousands who had stood'in the broad
plaxa In front of the capitol for many
hours. The shouts continued while the
Inaugural party was taking seats on
the platform.
Applause came from the crowds
near the entrance of the capitol door
or former Speaker Cannon emerged.
It swelled Into a larger volume as Wil
liam J. Bryan came forward with the
other guests comprising the member
ship of President Wilson's cabinet
Governor Fielder, successor to Presi
dent-elect Wilson as governor of New
Jersey, came out to stand with Sens
tor Martins.
Mr. Bryan, Mr. McAdoo, Mr. Red
fleld, Mr. Burleaon, Mr. Daniels, Mr.
Lane, Mr. Wilson, Profeesor Hous on
and the others of the new csblnel.
were escorted to seats as the crowd
voiced Its approval by cheers.
Mrs Wilson and her daughters took
■eats -luej to the square pisiform at
ths left At Mrs. Wilson's request Mrs.
Marshall took a seat beside her. The
two women walked forward to tl »
rail to look at the crowd. The Misses
Wilson joined them. .
With this setting of animation all
attention was directed to the two cen
tral flgures of the assemblage—tin
presidentelect about to take the oa'*i
of office and the chief justice of the
supreme court, ready to administer
the oath.
Then there ensse n hush ss thess
two, rising from their seats, stood to
gether at-the center of the platform,
the chief justice with the Blhle open
In his hands—the sams Bible on which
Mr. Wilson took the oath as gover
nor of New Jersey—the president,
elect with uplifted hand.
■lowly the chief justice repeated
the oath as It to prescribed by the
constitution:
"1 do solemnly swear that I will
faithfully execute the office of presi
dent of the United States, and will to
the best of my ability preserve, pro
tect and defend the constitution or the
United Bute*."
Word tor word. In the ssms slow
measure set by the solemn chief Jus
tice, the oath-wag repeated by Wood
row Wilson.
This waa the transition from presi
de* t-eieet to president. Ths nation
now had a nsw chief esecntive and
the government had peseed from Re
publican to Democrat
I With the closing words of the oath
a presidential salute of twenty-one
guns boomed out the news that a aew
chief executive had been Inaugurated.
• President Wilson at once began his
Inaugural address, again being round-
II y cheered aa he stepped Slightly for
ward to speak.
The prealdeatlal party were then

The army of Inauguration, 80,000

High on tlther side of ths avenue,
Ita buildings and reviewing stands
were packed with humanity, rlsln j

this valley of humanity and color a
martial host undulated and rolltd
along with the steady sweep of a
great river.
As the procession took the
march, the noted Eiaex troop, of Nrw
Jersey, swung in behind the carriage
In which President Wilson and former
President Taft rode. Then came Vice
President Marshall's carriage and be

To say that these selections aa a
whole gave tbe politicians and states
men a new thrill In the ahape of a
surprise would not adequately convey
the fact. Even William Jennings Bry
an, who has ( the most .important place
In the new cabinet, admUted the sea
satlon when he aaked about the per
sonalities of three or four of tbe men.
His Interest justified the Inference
that he had not been consulted by
President-elect Wilson In selecting all
the members of the cabinet
Tbe namee of three of the men in
the list were not even heard of In
connection with cabinet places until
Monday. These were Franklin K.
Lane, a commissioner of Interstate
commerce; David F. Houaton, an agri
cultural college president, of Missouri,
and Llndley M. Garrison, vies chsn
cellor of the New Jersey judiciary.
Bryan waa not alone In seeking In
formation concerning the Identities of
all three men. Every member of con
gress and politicians at tbe natlona 1
capital sought light of tbe same sort
It developed that the three men have
been on the menial slate of the presi

that Is uppermost In our minds today.
That Is (lie -yiestlon I uni going to try
to answer. In order, if I may. to luter

It means niui-b more tban the mere
success of ii party. Tbe success of a
party menus little excepj when the
nation Is lining that party for s large
and definite puristse. No one can mis
take Ihe piinsise for which tbe 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,

of the government to sell Its bonds fifty

Society's Duty to Itself.
Nor have we studied and perfected
the means by which government may
be put at the liervlce of humanity in
safeguarding the health of the uatlon,
the health of Its men and Its women
and It* children, as well a* their rights
In the stnigule for existence. This is
no aentlmciiinl duty. The firm basis
of government 1* Justice, not pity.
These are mutters of Justice. There can
be no equality or opportunity, the first
easentlsl of Justice In tliv body politic,
if men and women and children be
not shielded In their lives, their very
vitality, from the consequences of great
Industrial and social processes which
they cannot alter, control or singly
cope with. Society const see (o It that
It does not Itself crash 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 a ltd laws determining con
ditions of labor which Individuals are
powerless to determine for themselves
are Intimate parts of the very busi
ness rtf Justice and legal efficiency.
These are some of the things we
ought to do aud not leave the others
uhdone. tTie old fasblonsd, never to be
neglected, fundamental safeguarding
of proiierty 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 hearth fire of every
msn's conscience anil vision of Iht
right. It Is Inconceivable we should do
this as partisana; It Is Inconceivable w«
should do it In Ignorauce of the facts
as they are or In blind haste. We shall
restore, not destroy. We shall deal
with our economic system aa It la and
aa It msy be modified, not aa It might
be If we had a clean sheet of paper
to write upon, and atep by step we
shall make It what it should be. In the
spirit of those who question their
own wisdom and aeek counsel snd
knowledge, not shallow self satisfac
tion, or the excitement of excursions
wbitlier they cannot tell. Justice, and
only Justice, shall always be our motto.
Tssk Not Msrsly One of Politics.
And yet It will be no cool process of
mere science. The nation has been
deeply stirred—stirred by a solemn pas
■ion, stirred by the knowledge of
wrong, of Idenla lost, of government
too often debauched and made an In
strument of evil. The feettnga with
which we face thla new age of right'
and opportunity aweep acrvs* ptjj:
heartstrings like some air outer God's
own presence, where Justice snd mercy
■re reconciled and tbe Judge and the
brother are one. We know our task to
be no mere task of politics, but a task
which sbsll sesrrh ns through and
through, whether we be able to under
stand onr time snd the need of our
people, whether we be Indeed their
spokesmen and Interpreters, whether
we have the pure heart to comprehend
•nd tbe rectified will to choose our
high course of action.
Thla la not a day of triumph: It le
a day of dedication. Here muster not
the forces of party, lint the forces of
humanity. Men's hearts wait upon us:
Ben's lives hang In the balance: men's
hopes call upon qs to aay what we
will do. Who shall live np to the great
trust? Who dare* fsll to try? I sum
mon all honest men. all patriotic, all
forward looking men. to my aide, t>od
helping me; I will not fsll them If the>
Mill but counsel and sustain me.
