Marshall in his inaugural address
made a personal pledge that he would
seek to familiarize himself with his
duties, and said that he appreciated
the "necessities in the way of tact

him. Then he struck the keynote of
national honor that dominated the ad
dress, and added :
"With neither right nor desire to

pression of the opinion that whatever

"NOT A TRIUMPH,
BUT DEI
Washington, March 4. 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.
Applause came from the crowds near
the entrance of the capitol as former
Speaker Cannon emerged, swelling

Lieutenant Commander Rodger,

chairs for the other women and tiny
stood on tiptoe for a near view or the
proceedings.
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.
William J. Hryan was the lirst man
to shake hands with the President.
! He then shook hands with Mr. Taft.
i The party then prepared to head the
j procession back to the White house,
and this time President Wilson sat on
! the right-hand side of the carriage.
The procession to the White House
started at 1 :57 p. m.
' Vice President Marshall returned
from the inaugural stand to the scn-
ate. Mrs. Wilson with other members
!of the family party took carriages for

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.

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.

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

success of a party. 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. There hm
