Wood row Wilson became president of the Unit ed States today amid imposing cere monies and tumultuous scenes of pop ular greeting. Standing at the his toric east front of the capitol he took the constitutional oath of office, and in his brief inaugural address made a fervid appeal to all patriotic men for counsel and aid. "This is not a day of triumph," he said; "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 in the balance; men's hopes call 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, all forward-looking men to my side. God helping me, I will not fail them if they" will but counsel and sustain me." Vice-President Marshall had been inaugurated in the senate chamber President Taft bowed to the crowd as they took their seats in the center of the platform. President-elect Wilson sat at the right of President Taft, while Vice President Marshall took his seat at the left of President Taft at the edge of the platform and talked with Sena tor Bacon. A burst of applause and cheers greeted Champ Clark as he passed on to the inaugural stand at the head of the line of house members. Major-General Wood directed the closing in of the troops before the guests had all been seated and the crowd gradually edged toward the in augural platform. Speaker Clark leaned toward President-elect Wilson and the two shook hands, bringing more applause from the crowd.

While President Wilson was deliver in hi. address, the first van load of the Wilson family's belongings reach ed the White House from Princeton. ( There were seven trunks, 11 suit i cases, U umbrellas and several walk ing sticks. There also reached the White House a largo cake, which grac.il the Wilson dinner table in the evening. It was surmounted by a brown donkey and a purple elephant. President Wilson's voice at lirst failed to carry into the crowd, but as he raised it he secured close attention. , which he held throughout the reading of his address. Although he hud memorized much of his address, he ad hered closely to the reading of the manuscript. A burst of cheers greeted the 1 resi dent's 'declaration, "our work is work of restoration." and it swelled into cheers and hats were thrown into the air when he said : "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 pri vate interests." From time to time as the President spoke the sun peeped from behind the clouds and shed a feeble light on the ; scene. I A moment later the crowd voiced its 'approval in cheers at his declaration that "justice und only justice shall l always be our motto." j A storm of cheers greeted the end ing of his speech at 1 :51.

C President Wil son and Mrs. Wilson will ocupy the I room in the White House used by ex , President Rosevelt and Mrs. Roosevel. and ex-President Taft and Mrs. Taft. It is in the southwest corner of the mansion and from its windows the new President can look out over the White House ellipse to the Washington mon ument, the Mall, the sweep of the Potomac and the green hills of Vir ginia beyond. It is one of the few cool spots to be found on one of Wash ington's sizzling summer nights. Million Taken From Bank. Montreal, Quebec A run starting ; from an unassignable cause, resulted Friday in nearly a million dollars being withdrawn from four outlying! branches of the Montreal City and ! District Savings bank. All demands 1 of depositors were met promptly. The bank officials issued a statement declaring that the stringent charter restrictions securing deposits pro tected every depositor and predicted that the confidence of the public in the institution would be restored, and in dications are that it will. came out the main door. Immediately in front of the presi- 1 dential platform Major-General Wood and his general staff held a space clear. Across the open space loomed a battery of nearly 100 cameras and motion picture machines, trained on the single spot where President Taft was to pass his mantle of office to President-elect Wilson. Back of the West Point cadets stood the Essex troop, President Wilson' guard of honor, and near them the Black Horse troop of Culver. The troops were prepared to give way when the delivery of the inaug ural address began so that the crowd I might dose in to hear the new presi dent. There was a lull in the cere monies as the company assembled. A mild wind blew over the stands, and the West Point cadets and sailors ran about in little groups to relieve the tedium, while the presidential party slowly assembled. The east ! front of the capitol, sweeping down 1 from the dome to the ground and out j as far as the Congressional library and neighboring apartment buildings ; presented a brilliant scene of color, j The weather still was cloudy, but there was no immediate sign of rain. It was 1 :11 o'clock before the pro cession to the stand had got as far as the diplomatic corps, so slowly did it move. This was because many re mained behind to see new senators sworn in. President-elect Wilson and Railway Fined $30,000. Buffalo A fine of $30,000 wag im posed on the New York Central rail road in the United States court for failing to observe published rates of demurrage at East Buffalo. The fine was paid in full. A stipulation was also filed discontinuing actions against the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern and the New York, Chicago & St. Louis railroads for violations of the law in connection with cattle ship ments. The railroads paid $25,000. Madero's Guard Promoted. Mexico City Major Cardenas, who was in charge of the escort of Fran cisco Madero and Jose Pino Suarez on the day they were killed, was promo ted from the rural guard to the same rank in the regular army. A general inclination to recognize General Huer ta's administration is being manifest ed by the rebels in all parts of the re public. Nearly all the rebel leaders have now fallen in line. Many of the rebels, however, disp'ay sensitiveness in regard to the amnesty bill, which they say wrongly implies their defeat. into a large volume as William J Bryan came forward with the other guests comprising the membership of President Wilson's cabinet. Governor Fielder, successor to President-elect ; Wilson as governor of New Jersey, j came out to the stand with Senator : Martine. j Mr. Bryan, Mr. McAdoo, Mr. Red- j field, Representative Burleson, Mr. j Daniels, Franklin K. Lane, Represen tative William B. Wilson, Professor j Houston and the others of the new I cabinet were escorted to seats as the crowd voiced its approval by cheers, j Mrs. Wilson and her daughters took seats close to the square platform at ' the left. At. Mrs. Wilson's request, j Mrs. Marshall took a seat beside her. The two women walked forward to the rail to look at the crowd. The Wilson girls joined them. "Oh, isn't it wonderful"? said Mrs. Wilson, as she looked out over the im mense gathering that extended so far that faces were not recognizable. ' At 1:29 the last restraint on the crowd was removed, and across the empty space of asphalt came a cheer ing mass of men and women waving hats, flags and coats upward in the di rection of the president-eiect. In a moment a dense sea of people touched the very edge of the inaugural stand, the military preserving their places with difficlty. Somebody in the crowd shouted : "Three cheers for Miss Nellie Wil son," and a good-natured laugh went up. The Wilson cabinet on the stand in cluded all but James C. McRcynolds, the new attorney general, who had been unable to accept the invitation to be present. President Taft, who had sat with a good-natured smile on his face as the crowd surged about, burst into a hearty laugh when some one yelled, "Where is Teddy 7" It was 1 :34 o'clock when Chief Jus tice White stepped forward and the party arose and President-elect Wilson raised his hand to take the oath of office. Cheers which greeted the Good Roads Congress Would Give Incentive for Highway Work. Chicago The Fifth International Good Roads congress closed here Sun day after adopting resolutions urging the employment of convicts on public highways at a commutation of 10 'days of their sentence for every 30 days of labor. The resolution reads: I "We urge the adoption by every 'state of the convict labor system of 'Colorado, giving all available convicts j the privilege of working on the public , highways with a commutation of 10 days for every 30 days' work. We urge the state and national construc tion of post roads and the construction of a national Lincoln memorial high way, connectiong Washington with the capitals of every state in the Union." The next International Good roads congress will meet in San Francisco in 1915. Probers Cannot Agree. I Washington, D. C. The senate campaign expenditures committee 1 made to the closing congress no report ; upon its exhaustive inquiry into cam paign expenditures for 1904, 1!H)H ami j 1912, and into the relations of John I), j Archbold and the Standard Oil com pany with members of congress and Federal officrs. Members of the spe cial committee have found it imKssi . ble to agree upon the report, and the question is to be carried over to the new congress, when it is believed bet ter progress can be made. Election Bettor On Hike. Portland, Maine leading a 22-year-old donkey and wearing a khaki uniform, B. H. Anderson, of Butler, Pa., left Portland Tuesday to settle an election bet on Theodore Roosevelt by walking from this city to Portland, Oregon. Anderson, who was a page in the national house of representatives in 1901, was a follower of Colonel Roosevelt and laid a wager on his elec tion. The distance Anderson will lead the donkey is 4300 miles, ami he ex pects to complete the journey in eight months. Strike May be Averted.

The success of a party means little except when the nation is using that party for a large and definite pur(.se. No one ran mis take the purH.se for which the nation ; now seeks to use the Democratic party. It seek, to use it to interpret change in its own plans nd mint of view. Some old things with which we hail grown familiar, and which had begun to creep into the very habit of out thought and of our lives, have al tered their aspect as we have Utterly looked critically um them, with fresh, awakened eyes; have dnpHd their disguises ami shown then. selves alien and sinister. Some new things, as wo look frankly U.n them, willing to comprehend their real character, have come to assume the aspect of things long Mievcd in ami familiar, stuff of our own convictions. We have been refreshed by a new insight into our own life. We see that in msny things that life is very great. It is incomparably great in its material aseets, in its body of wealth, in the diversity and sweep of its energy, in the Industrie, which have been conceived and built up by the genius of individual men and the limitless enterprise of groU 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 ami the energy of sympathy ami helpfulness and counsel in their efforts to rectify wrong, alleviate suf fering, ami set the weak in the way of strength and hoe. VNe have built up, moreover, a great system of gov ernment, which hus stissl through a long age a in many re. pert, a model for those who seek to set liberty Usm foundations that will endure .gainst fortuitous change, against storm and accident. Our life contain, every great thing, and contain, it in rich abundance. But the evil has come with the good, and much line gold has been cor roded. With riches has come inex cusable waste. We have squandered a great part of what wi might have used, ami have not tiped to conserve the exceeding Isiunty of nature, with out which our genius for enterprise would have been worthless and inis tent, scorning to be careful, shameful ly prodigal as well as admirably effi cient We have been proud of our industrial achievements, but we have not hitherto stopped thoughtfully enough to count the human cost, the 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 the year, through. The groans ami agony of it .11 had not yet reached our ears, the solemn, mov ing undertone of our life, coming up out of the mines and factories and out of every home where the struggle had its intimate and familiar seat. With the great government went many deep secret things which we bsi long de layed to look into and scrutinize with candid, fearless eyes. The great government we loved ha. too often been made use of for private and .elf ish purs.ses, and those who used it had forgotten the s-ople. At last a vision has been vouchsafed us of our life as a whole. We see the bad with the good, the debased ami decadent with the sound and vital. With this vision we approach new affairs. Our duly is to cleanse. t reconsider, to restore, to correct the evil without impairing the gi, to purify mid humanize every pr .Mr common life without weakening sentimentalizing it.
