AW WILSON'S VIEWS 6IVEN TO NATIO I i fnaUgUFal Afc Of tl)8 M DEFINES PEOPLES DUTY, First Obligation of Law la to Keep So ciety Sound by Sanitary and Pure Food Statutes and Measures Deter mining Conditions of Labor Tash Not Merely One of Politic. Washington, March 4. The innugnrnl address of President Woedrow Wilson is as follows: There has been a change of govern ment. It began two .retirs ago. when the house of representatives became Democratic by a decisive majority. It has now been completed. The senate about to assemble will also be Demo cratlc. The offices of president and vice president have been put Into the hands of Democrats. What d,oes tbr change meanV Thitt Is the truest Ion that Is uppermost in our minds today. That is the question I am gojug to try to answer, in order, if I may. to inter pret the occasion. It means much more than the mere success of a party. The success of a party means little except when the nation is using that party for a large aud definite purpose. No one can mis take the purpose for which the nation now seeks to use the Democratic party It seeks to use It to interpret a change in fts own plans and point of view Some old things with which wo bud grown familiar and which had begun to creep Into the very habit of onr thought and of our lives have altered their aspect as we have latterly looked critically upon them with fresh, awak ened eyes; have dropped their disguises aud shown themselves alien and sin ister. Some new things as we look frankly upon them, willing to compre hend their real character, have come to assume the aspect of things long be lleved is and familiar, stuff of our own convictions. We have been refreshed by. a new insight into our own life. x Our Model Government. We see that in many things life Is very great. It is incomparably great lu Its material aspects, in its body oi 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 Urn itless 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 more striking forms the beauty and the energy of sympathy and helpful ness and counsel In their efforts to rec tify wrong, alleviate suffering and set the weak iu the way or strength and hope. We have built up. moreover, a great system of government, which has stood through a long age as In many respects a model for those who seek to set liberty upon foundations' that will endure against fortuitous change, against storm and accident Our life contains every great thing and contains it in rich abundance. Bnt the evil has come with the good. and much tine 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 ceedlng bounty of nature without which our genius for enterprise wonld have been worthless and impotent scorning to be careful, shamefully prodigal as well as admirably efficient We have been proud of our Industrial achievements, but we have not liffh erto stopped thoughtfully enough t count the human cost, the cost of lives snuffed out, of energies overtaxed and broken, the feorful physical and spir ltunl cost to the men and women and children upon whom the dead weight and burden of It all has fallen pitiless ly the years through. The groans and agony of It all had not yet reached our ears, the solemn, moving under tone of our life, c6miug up out of the mines and-factorles snd out of every home where the struggle had, its Inti mate and familiar seat. With the great government went many deep se cret things which we too long delayed to look into and scrutinize with can did, fearless eyes. The great govern ment we loved has too often beet made use of for private and selfish purposes, nnd those who used It had forgotten the people. Doty of Americana Outlined, At last n vision has been vouchsafed us of our life as n whole. We see the bed with' the good, the debased and decadent with the sound aud vital With tbls vision we approach new af fairs. Our duty is to cleanse, to re consider, to restore, to correct the toll without imiwlrlng the good, to purlf: and humanise every process of otu common life without weakening 01 sentimentalizing it. There has beei something crude and heartless and uu feeling In our bsste to succeed and hi great. Our thought has ltccn. "Let ev ery man look out for himself: let ev err generation look out for Itself. while we reared giant machinery which made It impossible that any but thou. who stood at the levers of control should have a chance to took out for themselves. We had not forgotten our morals. We remembered well enough that we had set np a polrry which was meant to serve the humblest as well us toe most powerful, with as eye single to the stsndsrds of Justice aud fail play, snd remembered It with pride Cotton Seed For Pluming I hav a limited quantity of SELE" TED COTTON SEED for planting purpose'. ine Mmpkins vanct.

PRITOHET" Polloksville. ?v But we were very heedless and in a hurry to be great. We have come now to the sober sec ond thought. The scales of heedless ness have fallen from our eyes. Wc have made op our minds to square ev ery process of our national life again with the standards we so proudly set up at the beginning and have always carried at our hearts. Our work is a work of restoration. Things to Be Accomplished. We have itemized with some degree of particularity the things that ought to be altered, aud here are some of the chief items: A tariff which cuts ua off from our proper part in the commerce of the world, violates the just princi ples of taxation and makes the govern ment a facile instrument in the hands of private Interests; a banking and cur rency system based upon the necessity of the. government to sell. Its bouds fifty years ago and perfectly adapted to con centrating cash and restricting credits: an industrial system which, take It on all its sides, financial as well as a ministratlve, holds capital iu leading strings, restricts the liberties and lim its the opportunities of labor and ex ploits without reuewing or conserving the natural resources of the country; a body of agricultural activities never yet given the efficiency of great busi ness undertakings or served as it should be through the instrumentality or 'science taen directly to me rami or afforded the facilities! of credit best suited to its'- practical needs; water courses undeveloped, waste places un reclaimed, forests mitended, fast dis appearing without plan or prospect of renewal, unregarded waste heaps at every mine. We have studied as per haps no other nation lias the most ef fective means of production, but we have not studied cost or economy as we should eltlier as organizers of in dustry, as statesmeu or as individuals. Society's Duty to Itself. Nor have we studied and perfected the means by which government may be put at the service of bumauily lit safeguard lug the health of the uutlon the health of its men and Its women and Its children, us well as their rights in the struggle for existence. This is uO sentimental duty. The firm basis of government is justice, not pity. These are matters of justice. There can be no equality or opportunity, the first essential of Justice in the body politic. If ineu nnd women aud children be not shielded in their lives, their very vitality, from the consequences of gieal Industrial and social processes 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. The first duty of law is to keep sound the society it serves. Sanitary laws, pure food laws and laws determining con ditions of labor which Individuals are powerless to determine for themselves are intimate parts of the very bust ness of justice and legal efficiency. These are some of the things wc ought to do nnd not leave the others undone, the old fashioned, never to be neglected, fundamental safeguarding of property aud 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 man's conscience and vision of the right. It is inconceivable we should do this as partisaus; it Is Inconceivable we should do It in Ignorance of the facts as they are or iu blind haste; We shall restore, not destroy. We shall deal with our economic system as it is and as it may beinodilled, not as -ii might be it 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 theii own wisdom nnd seek counsel and knowledge, not shallow self satisfac tion or the excitement of excursions whither they cannot tell. Justice, and ouly Justice, shall always be our motto Task Not Merely One of Politics. And yet It will be no cool process of mere science. The nation lias been deeply stirred stirred by a solemn pas sion, stirred by the knowledge of wrong, of ideals lost, of government too often debauched and made an in strument of evil. The feelings with which we face this new age of right and opportunity sweep across our heartstrings like some air out of Clod's own presence, where Justice and mercy ire reconciled and the Judge and the brother are one. We know our task to be no mere task of politics, but a task which 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 ihelr spokesmen and Interpreters, whether we have the pure heart to comprehend and the rectified will to choose our high course of action. This Is not s day of triumph; It is a day of dedication. Here muster not the forces of psrty, but the forces oi humanity. Men's hearts wait upon us men's lives bang in the balance; men's hopes call upon us to say what we will do. Who shall live up to the greet trust? Who dares fall to try? I sum mon all honest men, all patriotic, all forward looking men, to my side, Cod helping me. 1 will riot fall tbem If they will but counsel and sustain me. The Drama of London'a Fog.
