WILSON’S INAUGURAL ADDRESS|SPECIAL PROGRAM FRIDAY New Chief Executive Declares His Aim Will Be to Correot the Evils of Our National Life Without Impairing the Good. ‘Washington, March 4.—~President ‘Woodrow Wilson's inaugural address delivered today, one of the shortest on record, was as follows: There has been a change of govern- ment. It began two years ago, when the house of representatives became Democratic by a decisive majority. It has now been completed. The sei- ate about to assemble will also be Democratic. The offices of president and vice-president have been put into the hands of Democrats. - What does the change mean? That is the ques- tion that is uppermost in our minds today. That is the question I am go- ing to try to answer, in order, it I may, to interpret the occasion. It means much more than the mere success of a party. The success of a party means little except when the natlon is using that party for a large and defihite porpose. No one can mistake ‘ the purpose for which the nation now seeks to use the Demo- cratic party. It seeks to use it to in- ferpret a change in its own plans and point of view. Some old things with which we had grown familiar, and which had begun to creep into the very habit of our thought and of our lives, have altered their aspect as we have latterly looked ecritically upon them, with fresh, awakened eyes; have dropped their disguises and shown themselves alien and sinister. Some new things, as we look frankly upon them, willing to comprehend thelr real character, have come to as- sume the aspect of things long believ- ed in and familiar, stuff of our own convictions. We have been refreshed by a new insight into our own life. We see that in many things that life is very great. It is incomparably great in its material aspects, in its body of 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 limitless 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 form the beauty and energy of sympathy and helpfulness and counsel in their efforts to rectify wrong, alleviate suffering, and set the weak in the way of strength ard hope. But the evil has come with the good, and much fine gold has been corroded. With riches has come in- excusable waste. We have squan- dered a great part of what we might have used, and have not stopped to conserve the exceeding bounty of na- ture, without which our genius for en- terprise would have been worthless and impotent, scorning to be careful, shamefully prodigal as well as admir- ably efficient. We have been proud of our industrial achievements, but we have not hitherto stopped thought- fully enough to count the human cost, the cost of lives snuffed out, of ener- gles overtaxed and broken, the fear- ful physical and spiritual cost to the men and women and children upon whom the dead weight and burden of it all has fallen pitilessly the years through. The groans and agony of it all had not yet reached our ears, the solemn, moving undertone of our life, coming up out of the mines and fac- tories and out of every home where the struggle had its intimate and fa- miliar seat. With the great govern- ment went many deep secret things which we too long delayed to look into and scrutinize with candid, fear- less eyes. The great government we loved has too often been made use of for private and selfish purposes, and those who used it had forgotten the people. At last a vision has been vouch- safed us of our life as a whole. We see the bad with the good, the de- based and decadent with the sound and vital. With this vision we ap- proach new affairs. Our duty is to cleanse, to reconsider, to restore, to correct the evil without impairing the good, to purify and humanize every process of our common life without weakening or sentimentalizing it. There has been something crude and heartless and unfeeling in our haste to succeed and be great. Our thought has ‘been ‘Let every man look out for him- self, let every gemeration look out for itself, while we reared giant machin- ery which made it impossible that any but those who stood at the levers of control should have a chance to look “out for themselves. We had not for- gotten our morals. We remembered well enough that we had set up a policy which was meant to serve the humblest as well as the most power- ful, with an eye single to the stand- jards of justice and fair play, and re- ‘membered it with pride. But we were {very heedless and in a hurry to begreat. | We have come now to the sober isecond thought. The scales of heed- !lessness have fallen from our eyes. IWe have made up our minds to square ievery prooess of our lu-l.n with the -u.um we 50 -ul- 1y set up at the beginning and bave always carried -at our hearts. Our work is a work of restoration. ‘We have itemized with some degree|11. of particularity the. things that ought to be altered and here are some ol 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 faclle 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 cash 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 libertles and limits the op- portunities of labor, and exploits with- out renewing or conserving the nat- ural resources of the country; a hody 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 to 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. Nor have we studied and perfected the means by which government may be put at the service of humanity, in safeguarding the health of the nation, the health of its men and its women and its children, as well as their rights in the struggle for existence. This is no sentimental duty. The firm basis of government is justice, not pity. These are matters of justice. Thers can be no equality or opportunity, the first essential of justice in the body politic, if men and women and chil- dren be not shielded In their lives, their very vitality, from the ‘conse- quences of great industrial and social processes which they cannot alter, control cr singly cope with. Soclety must see to it that it does not itself crush or weaken or damage its own constituent parts. The first duty of law 18 to keep sound the society it serves. Sanitary laws, pure food laws, and laws determining conditions of labor which individuals are powerless to determine for themselves are inti- mate parts of the very business of jus- tice and legal efficiency. These are some of the things we ought to do; and not leave the others undone, the old-fashioned, never-to-be- neglected, fundamental safeguarding of property 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 hearthfire of every man’s consclence and vision of the right. It is inconcelvable that we should do this as partisans; it is in- conceivable we should do it in ignor- ance of the facts as they are or in blind haste. We shall restore, not de- stroy. We ‘shall deal with our econ- omic system as it is and as it may be modified, not as it 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 their own wisdom and seek counsel and knowledge, not shallow self-satistaction or the excite- ment of excursions whither they can- not tell. Justice, and only justice, shall always be our motto. And yet it will be no cool process of mere science. The natfon has been deeply stirred, stirred by a solemn passion, 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 heart-strings like some air out of God’s own presence, where justice ane mercy are reconciled and the ludge and the brother are one. We know our task to be no mé&re task of politics, but a task which shall search 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 pure heart to comprehend and the rectified will |. to choose our high course of action. This is not a day of triumph; it is a day of dedication. Here muster, not the forces of party, but. the forces of humanity. Men's hearts wait upon us; men’s lives hang {n the balance; men’s hopes call upon -us to say what we Wwill do. Who shall live up te the great trust? Who dares fail to try? 1 summon all honest men, all patriotic, all forwardlooking men, to my stde.

THOUSANDS CHEER AS PRESIDENT KISSES BIBLE (Continued trom firat page). and faint shout for the outgoing Re- publican’ executive. Tradition and custom decrees that the outgoing president shall regard every particle of the demonstration’ as given his successor, and shall not even appear to note it. Nevertheless, the Taft smile, as of old, was in evidence as he heard Democratic exuberance but 111~ concealed in the shouts of triumph with which they acclaimed a presi- dent of their faith. Slowly the processional to the White House began. The carriages: proceeded at a walk, to afford a good view of the president to the crowds Soldiers stood at “attention’ all along the avenue, spaced every few feet, in front of tautly stretched ropes hold- ing back the sidewalk crowds. “When the march from the Peace Monument began a salvo of 101 guns —the national salute—was fired by a battery of ‘artillery on the White House Ellipse. It was followed by the presidential salute of twenty-one guns and the vice presidential salute of eighteen guns. The Parade Itself. The post of honor in the parade was given the cadets battalion from ‘West Point Military Academy. Their band of fifty pieces headed the 500 gray-coated, ~ black-plumed cadets, with stiffly-starched white sashes— and span” neatness. A fluttering of feminine hearts and shrill cheers and loud hand clapping from feminine throats and hands marked the pro- gress of the West Pointers. Following the cadets were troops and bands of infantry. By the timé President Wilson redched the White House the avenue was filled with swarms of blue-coated soldiers, artillery troops and cavalry. ‘While the presidential and official carriages flower through the “Court of Honor” and into the White House grounds to deliver their occupants for the formal luncheon to the new exec- utives, the parade was halted at the north side of the treasury department building, at Fifteenth street and Pennsylvania avenue.
