CEREMONIES ARE IMPRESSIVE New Executive of Nation Takes Oath on East Portico of Capitol After Marshall Becomes Vice- President. By EDWARD B. CLARK. Washington, March 4. —Wood row Wilson of New Jersey is president of the United States and Thomas Riley Marshall of Indiana is vice-president. The instant that tho oath-taking cere monies at noon today in front of the capitol weie completed, the Democrat ic party of this country "came into its own" ag&in after an absence of six teen years from the precincts of ex ecutive power. A throng of many thousands of people witnessed the newly elected president's induction into office. Nine tenths of the members of the crowd were enthusiastically Joyful, the other President Woodrow Wilson. tenth cheered with them, as becoming good American citizens watching a governmental change ordered In ac cordance with the law and the Con stitution The Bible which during each suc cessive four.yp&rs is kept as one of the treasures of the Supreme court, was the Immediate instrument of the oath taking of Woodrow V.'ilson. Ed ward Douglass White, chief justice of the United States, held the Book for Mr. Wilson to rest his hands upon while he made solemn covenant to support the Constitution and the law? cf the United States, and to fulfill the duties of his office as well and as faithfully as it lay within his power to do. Thomas Riley Marshall swore feal ty to the Constitution and to the people in the senate chamber, where for four years it will be hlB duty to preside over the deliberations of the members of the upper house of con greßs. Ceremonies Simple and Impressive. Both of the ceremonies proper were conducted in a severely simple but most impressive manner. The sur roundings of the scene of the presi dent's induction into office, however, were not so simple, for it was an out of-door event and the great gathering of military, naral and uniformed civil organizations gave much more than a touch .of 9plendor to the scene. In the senate chamber, where the the oath was taken by the man now rice-president of the .United States, there were gathered about 2,000 people, all that the upper house will contain without the risk of danger because of the rush and press of the multitudes. It is probable that no where else in the United States at any time are there gathered an equal number of men and women who? names aro so widely known. Tt gathering in the senate chamber an later on the east portico of the capi tol was composed largely of thoe prominent for their services in Ame? lea, and in part of foreigners win have Becured places for their name« in the current history of the world'* doings. Arranged by Congress. The arrangements of the ceremonie* for the Inauguration of YY r oodrow Wil son and Thomas Riley Marshall wer. : made by the joint committee on ar rangements of congress. The senatv 3ectlon of this committee was ruled by a majority of Republicsns, bui •here is Democratic testimony to the fact that the Republican senators were willing to outdo their Democratic brethren in the work of making or derly and impressive the inaugural ceremonies in honor of two chieftains jf the opposition. President Taft and President-elect Wilson rode together from the White House to the capitol, accompanied by "wo members of the congressional ommittoe of arrangements. The vice ;res:dent-elect also rode from the Vhite Hovse to the capitol and In the vrriage with him were the senate's resident pro tempore, Senator Bacon •f Georgia, and three members of the longressioual committee of arrange Tient.s.

Itself while we reared giant macbtn err which «*ade It impossible that any but those who stood at the levers of control should have a chance to look out for themselves. We bad not for gotten our morals. We remembered veil enough that we had set up- a policy which wee meant to serve the humblest as well as the most power ful. with an eye single to the stand ards of justice and fair play, and re membered it with pride. But we were very heedless and in a hurry to be great Chief items in Program. - We have come now to the sober second thought. The scales of heed lessness 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 proud ly set up at the beginning and have always carried at our hearts. Our work is a work of restoration. We have itemized with some degree of 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 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 per fectly adapted to concentrating ©ash and restricting credits; an industrial system which, take it on all its sides, financial as well as administrative, holds capital in leading strings, re stricts the liberties and limits the op portunities of labor, and exploits with out renewing or conserving the nat ural*resources of the country; a body of agricultural activities never yet given the efficiency of great business undertakings or served as it should be through the Instrumentality of science taken directly to the farm, or afforded the facilities of credit best suited te its practical needs; water courses un developed, waste places unreclaimed, forests untended, fast disappearing without plan or prospect of renewal, unregarded waste heaps at every mine. We have studied as perhaps no other nation has the most effective means of production, but we have not studied cost or economy as we should either as organizers of industry, as states men, or as individuals. Mattsra of Justice. Nor have we studied and perfected he means by which government may je put at the service of humanity, in safeguarding the health of the nation, :hb health of its men and Its women tnd its children, as well as their rights in the struggle for existence. *£his is ao sentimental duty. The firm basif. of government is justice, not pity. These are matters of Justice. There can be no equality or opportunity, the Irst essential of justice in the bcdy politic, if men and women and chit Jren be not shielded in their live* heir very vitality, from the conse quences of great industrial ang social •jrocesses which they cannot alter, control or singly cope with. Society must see to It that it does not itself crush or weaken or damage its own constituent parts. Th« first duty cf law is to keep sound the society it .serves. Sanitary laws, pure food laws md laws determining conditions of labor which individuals are powerless to determine for themselves are Inti mate parts of the very business of ju* tlce and legal efficiency. These are some of the things ws ought to do, and not leave the other* undone, the old-fashioned, never-to-bt neglected, fundamental safeguarding of property aud of individual righ*~ 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 right. It is inconceivable that wt should do this aa partisans; it ia in conceivable we should do it in ignor ance of the facta as they are or 1* blind haste. We shall restore, not de stroy. We shall deal with our ecos oxnie system aa it la and as it mar 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 wisdow and seek counsel and knowledge, not shallow self-satisfaction or the ezcit« ment of excursions whither they can not tell. Justice, and only justice, shall always be our motto. Task Not One of Polities. And yet it will be no cool process of mere science. The nation has bees ufeply stirred, stirred by a solemn passion, stirred by the knowledge or wrong, of Ideals lost, of government too often debauched and made an in strument of evil. The feeling* with which we face this new age of right and opportunity sweep across cur: heart-strings like some air out of God's or., presence, where justice and mercy are reconciled and the judg« and the brother are one. We know our task to be no mere task of politics, but a task which shall aearoh 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 interpre ters, whether we have the pare heart to comprehend and the rectified will to choose our high course of action. Thla is not a day of triumph; it is a day of dedication. Here muster, not the .'orces of party, but the forces of humanity. Men's hearts wait upon us; men's lives hang in the balance; men's' hopes eall 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, vll forwardlooklng men, to my slda. od helping me, I will not fall them, they will but counsel and sustain • t " ■ A Beautiful Clear Complexion Will be yours if Dr King's Sana pa ilia is judiously taken.
