Our Model Government. We see that in many things life la very great. J t is incomparably great In its nvitetial aspects, la Its body of | wealth, ia the diversity and sweep of tti energy, to the industries which have been conceived and built up by the genius of individual men and the lim itless enterprise of groups of men. It la great also, very great. In its moral farce. Nowhere elae In the world have nefele men and women exhibited In more striking forms the beauty and the energy of symfiatby and belpful neaa and counsel In their efforts to rec tify wrong, alleviate suffering and set the weak in the way of strength and hope. We have bailt up. moreover. M great aystem of government, which has stood through a long age as in1 many respects a model for those who aeetc to se liberty upon foundations that will endure against fortuitous change, against storm and accident Our life contains every great thing anrt contains It in rich abundance. But the e?il has come with the good, and much fine gold has been 'corroded. "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 ex ceeding bounty of nature without which our genius for enterprise would have been worthless and Impotent, acornlng to Im? careful, shamefully prodigal as well as admirably efficient. We have been proud of our industrial achievements, but we have not hlth erto stopped thoughtfully enough to count the burann cost, the cost of lives anuffed out. of energies overtaxed and broken, the fearful physical and spir itual coat to the men and women and children -tifton whom the dead weight and burden of it all has fallen pitiless ly the years through. The groans and agony of It all bad not yet reached our ears, the solemn, moving under tone of our life, coming up out of the mines and factories and out of every home where the struggle bad* its Inti mate and familiar sekt. With the great government went many de#p se cret things. which we too long delayed to look into and scrutinise with can did, fearless eyes. The great govern; ment we loved has too often been made use of for .private and selfish purposes, and those who used it bad forgotten the people. Puty of Americans Outlined. 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 af fairs. Our duty la to cleanse, to re conelder, td restore, to correct the evil without Impairing the good, to purify and humanize every process of our common life without weakening or aentlmentallzlng it. There has been Something crude and heartless and un feeling In cur haste to succeed and be great Our thought baa been. "Let ev ery man look out for himaelf; let ev er* generation look out for Itself." while we reared glaat machinery which made It lmposalble that any but those who stood at the levers of control MM. hare a chance to look oat for thmMlTH We had not forgotten our morale.

We bare itemised witb some degree of particularity tbe' things that ought to be altered, and here are some of tbe chief Item**: A tariff which cuts us off from our proper part In tbe commerce of tbe world. violate* tbe Just princi ples of taxation and makes tbe govern in cut a facil:* Instrument In tbe bands of private Interests: a banking and cnr fSDcy system based upon tbe necessity of the government to sell Its bonds fifty years ago and perfectly adopted to con centrating cash and restricting credits; an industrial system which. take it on all* Its sides, financial as well as ad ministrative. holds npital in leading strings, restricts the liberties and lim its the opportunities of latjor and ex ploits without renewing or conserving tbe natural resources of tbe country; a body of agricultural activities never yet glaen the efficiency of great busi ness undertakings or served as It abould be 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 un reclaimed. forests untended. fast dis appearing. Without plan or prospect of renewal, unregarded waste heaps at every mine. We have studied as per haps no other nation has the most ef fective means of production, but we have not studied, cost or economy as we should either aa organizers of in dustry. as statesmen or, as individuals Society's Duty to Itself. Nor have we studied and perfected the means by which government may be pot at the service of humanity in safeguarding the beiilth of the nation, the health of Its men and its women and its children, as well as their rights la the struggle for existence. This is no sentimental duty. The firm basis of government Is Justice, not pity, j These are matter* of Justice. ThSre can | be uo equality or opportunity, the flrat essential of Ju- "'e In the body politic, if men uoil women and children be not shielded In their Uvea, their very vitality, from tbe consequences of great Industrial and social processes which they cannot aUter. control or singly cope with. Society 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 set-res. Sanitary laws, pure food laws and laws determining con ditions of labor which Individuals are powerless to determine for themselves are lotlmate parts of the very busl ness of Justice end legal efficiency. These are some of the things we ?agbt to do abd not leave tbe others undone, the old fashioned, never to be neglected, fundamental safeguarding of property and of individual right This is tbe high enterprise of the new *17: To lift everything that concerns oar life ma a nation to tbe light that shines from tbe hearth fire of every man's conscience and vision of the right. It Is inconceivable we should do this as partisans: it 1m inconceivable we should do it In ignorance of tbe facts aa they are or in blind haste. We shall I restore. not tiestr: ;.v We shall deal with our economic system a$ it is and ! as it may be modified, not as it might I be if we had a clean sheer of paper to write upon, and step by step we shall make it what It should be. in the spirit <vf those who question their own wisdom and seek counsel and knowledge, not shallow self satisfac tion or the excitement of excursions whither they cannot tell. Justice, and only Justice, shall always be our motto. Task Not Mer?ly One pf Polities. And yet it will be no cool process of mere science. The nation has been deeply stirred? stirred by a solemn pas sion, stirred by tbe knowledge of I wrong, of ideals lost, of government too often debauched and made an In atrument of evil. The feelings with which we face this new age of right and opportunity sweep across our heartstrings like some air out of God's own presence, where justice and mercy are reconciled and tbe judge and the brother are one. We know our task to fee no mere task of politics, but a task whloh shall search us through and through, whether we be able to under stand our time and the need of our people., whether we be indeed their spokesmen and interpreter*, whether we have the pure heart to comprehend and the rectified will to-^chrkJ*e our high course of action. This Is qot a day of triumph: It is a day of dedication. Here muster not the forces of party, but tbe forces of humanity.

HORSE ENDANGERS WILSON Itsars and Plunges Toward President's Carriage on Return to White House. One startling Incident took place on President Wilson's return to tbe Wblte House on Tuesday. A cavalryman s horse reared toward ths president's carriage, and at one time it looked as if he would plant kla forefeet in It. A dozen troopers frantically rushed to graap the bridle, while President Wilson calmly leaned oat of the sar in the asck. li 11 1 I BUY AM HEADS CABINET NomlMtioiM Sent to Senate and Are Promptly Confirmed. Wll.n* ???* kl. .??hiafc# nominations to the senate and they were promptly cc a firmed. Following It the list: *\>r secretary o t state ? William Jen nlngs Bryan, of Nebraska.

For secretary of agriculture ? David Franklin Houston, of Mlaaouri. For secretary of commerce ? William Cox Redfield, of New YorE. For secretary of labor ? .Wl'lfam Baucbop Wilson, of Pennsylyanla. To say- that these selections as a whole gave the politicians and states men a new thrill In the shape of * surprise would not adequately convey the fact. Even William Jennings Bry an, who has the most important place In the new cabinet, admitted the sen sation when he asked about the per sonalities of throe or fonr of the men. His interest justified the inference that he had not been consulted by President-elect Wilson in selecting all the members of the cabinet. The names of three of the men in th? list were not even heard cf in connection wit'a cabinet places ntil Monday. Tbe?e were Franklin K. Lane, a commissioner of interstate commerce: David F.
