There lias been a change of govern ment It began two years ago, when i tho House of Representatives became ! democratic by a decisive majority. It i has now bce.n completed. The Senate about to assemble will also bo demo cratic. Tho offices of president and ! vice-president have been put into the hands of democrats. What does this change mean? That Is the question that Is upermost In our iidnds today. jThat Is tho question I am going to j try to answer, in order, if I may, to : interpret tho occasion, j It moans much more than tho mere ; success of a party. The succoss of a j party means llttlo except when tho nallon is uBlng that party for a lurge and definite purpose. No one can mis take tho purpose for which tho nation now seeks to uso the democratic party. It seeks to use It to Interpret a change in Its own plans and point of view. Some old things with which wo bad grown familiar, and which had begun to creep Into the very habit of our thought and of our lives, have altered their asicct as wo have latterly look ed critically upon them, with fresh, awakened eyes; have dropped their disguises and shown themselves alien and sinister. Some now things, as we look- frankly upon them, willing to comprehend their real character, have como to assume the aspect of things long believed In and flmlllar, stuff of our own convictions. Wa have been rofretthed by a new Insight in our own life. We see that In many things that life Is very great It Is incomparably great In lw material aspects, In its body of wealth, In the diversity and sweep of Its energy, In the Industrie which have been conceived and built up by tho genious of individual men and tho 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 forms tho beauty nnd the energy of sympathy and helpfulness nnd counsel In their efforts to rectify wrong, alleviate suf fering, and set the weak in tho way of strength and hope. We have built up, moreover, a great system of govern ment, which has sTood through a long ago as In many respects a model for thoso who seek to set liberty ipon foundations that will endure against fortuitous change, against storm and accident. Our life contains every great tiling, and contains It In rich abundance. Hut the ovll has come with the good, and much flno gold has been corroded. Willi riches has como Inexcusable waste. We have squandered a great pant of what wo might have used, and have not stopped to conserve the ex ceeding bounty of nature, without which our genius for enterprise would havo been worthless and Im lKJtont, scorning to bo careful, shame fully prodigal as well as admirably !f!T W W !S f"J"5 fffl ff? fl f" !"S W ffi !fff 9 n 11 11 ii ii n n u n ii ii u ii u H H tl El 11 II 11 M it n u u ii ,' ti H 11 11 11 II 11 M II H 11 M 11 II 11 tl II II 11 II II II II II II 11 II 11 11 tl u n a ti 11 n ti ti M efficient. We have been proud of our Industrial achievements, but we have not hitherto stopped thoughtfully onough to count tho human cost of lives snuffed out, of energies overtaxed and broken, the fearful physical and spiritual cost to the men and women and children upon whom the dead weight and burden of It all has fallen pitilessly tho years through. The groans and agony of It nil had not yet reached our ears, the solemn mov ing undertone of our life, coming up out. of tho mines and factories and out of overy homo where tho struggle had Its intlmato and familiar seat. With tho great government went many deep secret things which we too long de layed to look Into and scrutinize with candid, fearloss eyes. The groat gov ernment wo loved has too often been made use "of for private and selfish puriioses, nnd those who used it had forgot'en tho people. At Inst a vision has been vouchsafed us of our lifo as a whole. We bc the bad with the good, the debased and decadent with tho sound and vital. With this vision wo approach new af fairs. Our duty Is to cleanse, to recon sider, to restore, to correct the evil with out Impairing the good, to purify and humanize every process of our com mon life without weakening or senti mentalizing it. There has been some thing crude and heartless and un feeling In our haste to succeed and be great. Our thoughts has been 'Ix every man. look out for himself, let every generation look out for itself,' whllo we reared giant machinery by which we made It impossible that any but those who stood at the levers of control should have a chanco to look out for themselves. We had not for gotten our morals. We remembered well enough that we had set up a pol icy which was meant to serve the hum blest as well as the most powerful, with an eye single to the standards of Justice and fair play, and remembered It with pride. But we were very heed less and In a hurry to be great. We have come now to the sober second thought. Tho scales of heed lessness have fallen from our eyes. Wo havo made up our minds to square every prQcess of our national life again with the standards we b0 proud ly set up at the beginning and have always carried at our hearts. Our work Is a work of restoration. We havo Itemized with some degree of particularity the things that ought to be altered and here are some of tho chief items: A tariff which cuts us off from our proper part In the com merce of the world, violates the just principals of taxation, and makes the government a facile instrument in the hands of private Interests; a banking and currency system based upon the necessity of the government to sell Its bonds fifty years ago nnd perfectly adapted to concentrating cash and re stricting credits; an Industrial system which, tako It on all its sides, finan cial as well as administrative, holds capital in leading strings, restricts tho liberties nnd limits the opportunities of labor, and exploits without renew ing or conserving the natural re sources of the country; a body of ag ricultural activities never yet given the efficiency "Of great business un dertakings or served as it should be through the instrumentality of science taken directly to the farm, or afflrded the facilities of credit best suited to Its practical needs; watercourses un developed, waste places unreclaimed, forests untended, fast disappearing without plan or prospect of renewal, unregarded wasto heaps at every mine. We havo studied as perhaps no other nation has the most effective means of productlono but we have not studied cost or economy as we should either as organizers of Industry, as states men, or as individuals. Nor have wo studied and perfected tho means by which government may he put at the service of humanity, In safeguarding the health of the nation, tho health of Its men and Its women and Its children, as well as thoir right In tho struggle for existence. This Is no sentlmenial duty. The firm basis of government Is justice, not pity. Thesn are matters of Justice. There can bo no equality or opportunity the first essential of Justice in the body politic, if men and women and child ren bo not shielded In their lives, their very vitality, from tho conse quences of great Industrial nnd social processes which they cannot alter, control, or singly cope with. Society must sec to it that It does not Itself crush or weaken or damage Its own constituent parts. The first duty of law It to keep sound tho sovlety it serves. Sanitary laws, pure food laws, nnd laws determining conditions of labor which Individuals aro powerless to determine for themselves are Intl nmto parts of tho very business of Justice and legal efficiency.

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 we should do this as partisans; it is Inconceivable we should do it In lg noranco of the facts as they are or In blind haste. We shall restore, not de stroy. We sha'l deal with our econ omic system as it Is and as it may 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 wisdom and seek counsel and knowledge, not shallow self-satisfaction or the ex citement of excursions whither they cannot tell. Junlce, and only Justice, shall always ho our motto. And yet It will be no cool process of mere science. The nation has been deeply stirred, stirred by a sodemn passion, stirred by the knowledge of wrong, of Ideals lost, of government too often debauched and mndo an In strument of evil. The feelings with which we face this new ago of right and opportunity sweep across our heart-strings like some air out of God's own presence, where justice and mercy are reconciled and the Judge and tho brother are one. Wo know our task to be no mere task of politics but a task which shall search us through, whether we be able to un derstand our time and the need of our people, whether we be Indeed their spokesmen and Interpreters, whether we havo the pure heart to comprehend and the rectified will to choose our high course of netlon. This Is not a day of, triumph; It is a day of dedication. Hero muster. not the forces of party, but the forces of humanity. Men's hearts wait upon us; men's lives hang In the balance; men's hopes call on us to say what we will do. Who shall live up to the great trust? Who dares fall to try? l summon all honest men, all patriot ic, all forward-looking men, to my side. God helping mfl I will not fail them, If they will but counsel nnd sustain me! Spmildlmr Company Wins. In on opinion written by Justico Moore tho supreme court today re versed the opinion of the lower court in the case of the Spauldlng Manu facturing Co., against John H. McN'ary, district attorney In the fifth district, and D. F. Mulkey, district nttorney In the first Judicial district The Spauld lng company was tho appellant in tho case. The litigation arose over the begin ning of proceedings against the Spauldlng company by the district at torneys for tho alleged violation of a statute in traveling about over the country selling and delivering buggies. The company brought an injunction again the attorneys to prevent tho maintenance of tho criminal proceed ings. The opinion of the supreme court holds that the statute which was In volved Is nn attempt to exact a tax on Interstate commerce, and for that rea son cannot be applied to the Spauldlng company.

Keep rout tYg It AT IDE PLAYHOUSES Sebastian Burnett Arrangements have been made whereby It Is possible that music lovers of this city will have the op poortunlty of hearing Sebastian Bur nett, the famous American operatic tenor who has achieved great fame in opera centers of Europe, at an early date. Mr. Burnett, whose ap pearance on the Pacific coast has been In the nature of a triumphal march, has won the most lavish praise from leading critics and music-lovers for his splendid voice and wonderful training. Mr. Burnett will, with his company, appear at the Grand opera house Saturday night, March 8. Elaborate claims were made for Mr. Burnett before his Aberdeen ap pearanceclaims which had he failed In his rendition of the exceedingly difficult and varied program outlined would have meant but indifferent success for him throughout the Fa clflo Northwest, That he "made good" in the fullest sense Is borne out by criticisms following his ap pearance. Mr. Burnett is the pupil of the greatest of all mastors, Jean de liezke, under whom hq studied for several years, Interspersing his stu dies with short professional appear ances with leading opera companies of Milan, Florence, Paris and Berlin, He studied dramatic art under M. Is nardon, foremost In his profession on the continent and repertoire of Ital ian opera Mr. Burnett pursued under that superb orchestra leader, Lom bardl, of Florence. It was definitely1 announced by Mr. Burnett's contracting manager, who was In the city, that his appearance here Is entirely contingent upon n guarantee. Leading music-lovers have taken charge since this understand ing waB reached, nnd It is anticipated that requirements will more than bo met. Mr, Burnett Is a master of dramatic art and sings with an almost perfect diction a thing that few opera stnrs can say. His English, French, Ger man and Italian are equally excel lent.

Mr. Ford's temper is painfully appar ent. He is naturally a gentleman, but his ungovernable temper makes him most brutal. His young wife ia almost driven to despair when Ford tukes exception to the attention shown, her at an evening reception which they are giving at their home. Ho files into such a -passion his behavior drives their friends in horror from the house. One evening his wife Is cleaning a pair of gloves, and, placing them on. a pair of hand forms, stands them in the window. The shade being down, the shadow of Mr. Ford can he seen wildly gestulatlng, apparently strik ing his wife. A policeman passing the house sees his actions, and when Mrs. Ford appears to fall upon the floor, sees the false hands In a supplicating attitude. He immediately summon other policemen, and they try to break into the house. , Mr. Ford, hearing the banging on the door, rushes downstairs. They point to the window and he rushes; upstairs to his wife's room, followed by the policemen. When they see the harmless forms they all Indulge in a hearty laugh at the expense of the over-zealous officer. This turn , of affairs brings Mr. Ford to a full ; realization of his prevailing fault. Ho solemnly promises his wife to mend his ways. I A Cttro For Kczcmii j Eczema In cny form, whether ajute or chronic, Is easily and rapidly over come by the uso of Morltol Eczema remedy.
