i v; . .v..'.: Vf ' Governor Kitchin (Takes Oath of Office and Makes Conservative Speech Raleigh, Special. It is Governor Kitchin" now. Never perhaps in the history of North Caroling were inau guration day ceremonies surpassed in p0int of brilliancy, crowds and vreather. . !, : The inauguration proper took place on a ?reat grand stand built for the purpose at the east front of the cap ital The oath ol omce was aaminis tered by Chief Justice Walter Clark of the North Carolina Supreme Court snd immediately thereafter Governor JCitchin began his inaugural address. He said in part: "Political par ties are not only natural, but neces sary in our government.

The Democratic party has again been charged by the people with the re sponsibility for the proper exercise of those powers during the constitu tinal period. As no man is altogeth er bad, no political party is altogeth er bad.

I is for tunate that in our civilization good men, though not perfect, predomi nate, and with the people educated this majority is greatly strengthened and its effectiveness for right, truth and liberty more than doubled, iudgment that the record as a whole of the Republican party in this State has been harmful, that its platform criticism of the service of the Demo cratic party to the public is unjust, and that its denunciation of Demo cratic policies is unwarranted. In assuming to-day in obedience to the will of the majority of my fellow citizpns the weighty responsibility of the Chief Executive of this Common wealth, it is unnecsessary to give as surance that the recognized principles of the Democratic, party shall be en couraged and pursued . by the in coming administration. Every precaution should be taken to assure each elector's having and understanding having, an equal voice in naming the candidates of his party. This assurance will large ly eliminate such other motives. A properly safeguarded "direct primary for electing the nominess of all politi cal parties is the best plan that has been or can be devised. It does much to destroy the cry and more to nulify the attempt of ring rule. It ought to diminish the 3 c expense oi campaigns xur Humilia tions. Should such expense for legitimate purposes increase as they have increased in recent years. - it will soon be that none but wealthy men can hopefully aspire to our high er offices unless others pay his cam paign expenses ' for . the nomination. T-P fVirtws rtoTr liics avruincae Via will feel under obligations to them and will not be in position to render the people his best service, especially in matters involving doubt as to the path of public duty. . .. . Every reasonable safeguard should be thrown around our nominations and elections to secure the accom- plishment of the honest judgment ana unconstrained wishes of the electors and to render less effective the shrewdness of astute politicians in furthering mere personal .purposes and reaching mere . personal ends. Ability, patriotism, character, ser vice and the principles and policies of aspirants are rightfully the ele ments which appeal to the judgment of the electors, and . these should be the source of success. Publication of No State can afford to do other wise than be liberal both with her ordinary public schools and with her higher institutions of lernmg. In an agricultural State such as ours is too much stress cannot be placed up on agricultural education, as a great majority of our people live upon the farm. A good man in his avocation or profession is apt to be a good citizen. The skilled man in his. line of work adds rapidly to the wealth of the State and thus strengthens the revenues upon which the State de pends for all the great work she un dertakes. "We recognize the great value of the men here and there in the State, some of them graduates of our institutions, whose 'intelligent practical and progressive farming is an example and inspiration to whole communities. I shall encourage the policy already, adopted urging that the- simple essentials of agriculture be thoroughly taught in our public schools! "With such essentials taught to the boys I predict a thrist in them for more information which will in crease the attendance upon r our in stitutes, the subscription to agn 'cultural papers and the study of farm bulletins, all of which will pro mote the pleasure and profit of ag ricultural life In the schools should be taught a knowledge of tuberculosis and. ty phoid fever, .now considered prevent able diseases. . Professionals should be secured to deliver lectures on i these topics in the schools. Charitable Institutions.. No better work or one closer to the heart of us all is being done by the State then at our charitable in stintions. , , The State should not be profligate but it should be liberal with these institutions. With liberal ity for such worthy purposes should go the closest scrutiny, into expendi tures, and a constant determination not to be careless with taxes willing- )surroSndingsJian pleasant ndUtions, otherwise ;ni3 struggle , for . happiness 13 handicapped and fruitless,..- E-yfcry right thinking man is againstCchild factory ; labor yet every one knows that : under present conditions unless, our homes for the aged- and infirm and ; our orphanages are vastly en-; larged some children must -1-labor. Neither the counties or the- denomi nations are s ready , to shoulder the expense however good in theory of maintaining all those whose children now ,belp to support and -such children themselves .; as : now .. have to .. work. Child - labor of some kind at. present is an unavoidable evil. It appears that these children who must toil can earn more in factories than on farms, and often they any theirs prefer the factory. ., The, .mill children of to-day will be the ancestors of many, mill workers of the future. For our fac tories to compete -vwith others, high class labor will be esesntial. :, High class, labor must" be healthy . A., far-, sighted wisdom make&J.our mill, .own- ers anxious not only"lo preserve, but to improve the health of every opera tive both for present : results and for future safety. ' , ; Corporations. The Attorney ' General should ' be authorized to examine every proposed charter for corporations to see that it violates neither the written or the unwritten law. Me should be spe cifically charged with the duty of en forcing our laws against all corpora tions, domestic and foreign habitual ly violating its .provisions. Many of the wrongs committed by corpora tions against our people are nnder circumstances which the State can not control and cannot be wholely remedied except by the Federal gov ernment. Yat the State can do something for- the public and has a dntv to do fcr her own interest. We should require eVery foreign corpora tion to obtain license to do business in 'this State, and should provide that such license be revoked when it is engaged in violating our law or is at tempting under the power of mo nopoly' to exact from the industrial life of the State unreasonable profits with which to pay dividends upon ficticious values or watered stock. Such license should" also be revoked when any such corporation maintains an established office in this State for the transaction of its regular busi ness. No corporation lacking con fidence in our courts , should desire to enter our midst. They have rights which are and will be respected and encouraged. Unjust burdens and wrongful restrains have not and will not be placed upon them. I doubt not that nine-tenths of our corpora tions comply with the law and do an absolutely honest business and are therefore entirely ' free from public complaint. The State believes in jus tice evenhanded and universal and it strives toward the attainment of uni versal right, regarding not whether a corrupt man or a corrupt corpora tion impedes ' its progress. The man who bv foul means 'willfully and needlessly takes the life of a rival under our law forfeits his own. The corporate monoply that by foul means willfully and needlessly destroys his rival by WTong doing for the pur pose of exaetmg unjust profits from the public should forfeit its existence Good Roads and Drainage.

Delegates should be required to cast the vote on the first ballot according to the . primary result. There should be a registered rst of party voters subject to challenge. The Legislature should fix the date of primaries for all parties for State, judicial and congressional offices, and also fix another date for pri maries for legislative " and . county affairs with a provision permitting the county executive committee, in its discretion, to adopt for any .coun ty primary the State and district primary day. Air corrupt use of money for primary effect should be made an offense against the law. The wilful publication of any false charge concerning his political. record or reflecting upon his moral chara cter for the purpose of injuring the candidate in the primaries with the people should be penalized, by law. not to be extravagant in public gen erosity . - Pensions. The Confederate veteran needs no further eulogy than he has had and I will always have from every brave and patriotic North Carolinian, but many veterans need more assistance from the State whose honor they maintained, whose glory they increas ed, and to whose cause they gave an unstinted devotion in the days of their vounir. manhood. I trust that with a due regard to other matters requiring your appropriations, you will find- the condition of our rev enues such that you can increase , enr pensions. ' ' ' Factory Life. Factories should not be hindered or crippled in their great work but should be urged forward to greater triumphs. .However, bum an happi ness is sought, not merely for the few but for all.

It would be diflicult to over estimate the value of good roads while various counties are doing much "in this direction, many conn ties are doing very little.- We are yet but on the threshold of the good roads movement and the next gene eration will witness wonderful pror srress. The State can enact an im proved up-to-date law which shall apply to every county that hereafter adopts the taxation plan of building good roads and thus promote uni formity of system. In my judgment a State highway commission may with great advantage be created to consider the whole matter and report to the next Legislature, as we - have no department charged with the duty of investigating on t. this important subject. We have vast areas of swamp lands awaiting drainage to become fertile and profitable. In many cases the timber will pay . the cost of drainage. An experiment on a small scale is worth trying in the drainage of some of our swamp lands. Also some com prehensive, liberal and effective law should be enacted authorizing upon iust terms owners . of swamp lands to enter upon the lands of others for the purpose of effectual drainage. Bank Deposits. The last platform upon which the incoming national administration was elected declares for postal sav-J ings banks, and it is not unreasonable to presume that before that adminis tration ends Congress will obey .the pledge of the Republican party and establish postal savings banks. The national Democratic party is like wise conditionally pledged to postal tanks. The results will tend to drive every State barfk out of business. As no national bank can have a cap ital fif lPSS than S25.000, there would be danger that many of our small which Vave thousands of dollars an nually to the people, from the old rates, have been approved by the railroads as just and reasonable. The conditions justify ns in anticipating no agitation for any change in pas senger fares during the term of the incoming administration. The discriminations in freight rates practiced by railroads in favor of some and against other cities is prop erly receiving much- attention. ... Some of our North Carolina cities have been compelled to pay millions of dollars of freight over and above whaf other cities have paid for the same distance. The freight on a car load of corn front ' Cincinnati to Greensboro is much more than the freight would be should the car go on to Lynchburg. A car load of mo lasses from New Orleans to Lynch burg pays less freight than if it stops in Charlotte. In no case should a community be charged more than a just rate for the service rendered it, regardless of profits or losses on rates to other cities. Economy; In the Treasurer's report it ap pears that owing to the value of our t.n -ruble nronertv not increasing as much as the last Legislature anrici rated our expenditures for the' last two vears exceeded our receipts. This Tot emrhnsied the necessity of practicing the governmental virtue of economy. The sentiment of our people and our financial strength forbid parsi monv.' but there are limitations upon our." treasury and the Legislature. will regard these limitations ana aispia j- j : . ate offense between assault with m-PTu'.- ,.
