We have seen world passion spend its fury, but we contemplate our republic unshaken and hola our civilization secure. Lib- erty—liberty within the Idw—and civilization are inseparable and though both were threatened we find them now secure, and there comes to Ameri- cans the profound assurance that our representative government is the high- est expression and surest guaranty of both. “Standing in this presence, mindful of the solemnity of this occasion, feel- ing the emotions which no one may know until he senses the great weight of responsibility for himself, I must utter my belief in the divine inspira- tion of the founding fathers.

Harding of Ohio and Calvin Coolidge of Massa- chusetts were inaugurated to- day president and ‘vice-presi- dent of the United States. Mr. Harding took the oath at 1:18 p. m., and Mr. Coolidge at 12:21. Pressing his lips to an historic Bi- .| ble used at the inauguration of George Washington, the new president took the oath administered by Chief Justice White. Hg had chosen the eighth verse from the sixth chapter of Micah, saying: What doth the Lord require of” thee but to do justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with thy Goa.” President Wilson, yielding to’ the last-minute entreaties of his family and his physicians, took no part in the inaugural ceremonies other than to accompany the incoming president from the White House to the capitol, where he signed some bills and then went with Mrs. Wilson to the new home which will be theirs in the resi- dential section of the city. Immediately after the administra- tion of the oath, Mr. Harding turned to the yast crowd which stretched across the capitol plaza and began the delivery of his inaugural address. Sound amplifiers carried his. voice to the outskirts of the big “assembly, A chill wind feebly warmed by 4 bright sun swept the broad space which appeared strangely in con- contrast of other years when it has beén illuminated by the uniforms of ‘West Point cadets, midshipmen from Annapolis and troops. Pledging his faith anew to Ameri- can institutions, President Harding re- iterated his plea for a return to “nor- malcy’ for industrial peace, for friend- ship with the world and spoke again a promise to work for an association of nations to bring about -peace and “approximate” disarmament. But he coupled his renewed declarations with a fresh pronouncement against .en- tangling alliances,” “America,” he said, “‘can enter into no political communities, nor assume any economic obligations which will subject our decisions any other than our own authority. “I am sure our people will not mis- understand nor will the world miscon- strue," said the new president, “we have thought to impede the paths to closer relationships. We wish to pro- mote understanding. We want to do our part to make offensive warfare so hateful that governments and people who resort to it must prove the right- cousnesa of their cause or stand os uutlaws before the bar of civilization.” entangling Harding declared “This is not selfishness; tity.
