four-year term. He was formally
Inaugurated Sunday, with Chief J unt
il White officiating. Today Wood-
row Wilson was publicly inaugurated.
following are extracts from the
president's inaugural speech today:
Although we have centered coun
sel and action with such unusual con
centration and suoceai upon the great
problems of domestic legislation to
which we addressed ourselves fourl
years ago, other matters have more
and more forced themselves upon our
attention, matters lying outside our
own life aa a nation and over which
we had no control, but which, despite
our wish to keep free of them, have
drawn us more and more irresistibly
into their own current and influence.
Keep Calm
"It has been impossible to avoid
them. They have affected the life of
the whole world. It has been hard
to preserve calm counsel while the
though of our own people swayed this
way and that under their influence.
"We are world citizens.
"We have been deeply wronged
upon the seas, but we have not wished
to wrong or injure in return.
we are obliged to arm ourselves
to make good our claim to a certain
minimum of right and freedom of
action.
"We desire neither conquest not
advantage.
"These are the things we stand for,
whether in war or in peace:
Real Peace
"That all nations are equally in
terested in the peace of the world and
in the political stability of free peo
ples and esually responsible for their
mantenance;
"That the essential principle of
peace, Is the actual equality ot nations
in all matters of right or privilege;
"That peace cannot securely or
justly restupon an armed balance of
power;
"That governments derive all their
just powers from the consent of the
governed, and that no other powers
should be supported by the common
thought, purpose or power of the fam
ily of nations;
"That the seas should be equally j
free and safe for the use of all peo-1
pies, under rules set up by common
agreement and consent, and that, so
far ns practicable, they should be ac
cessible to all upon equal terms;
Limit Armament
"That national armaments should
be limited to the necessities of nation
al order and domestic safety;
"That the community of intesest
and of power upon which peace must
henceforth depend Imposes upon each
nation the duty of seeing to it that all
influences proceeding from its own
citizens meant to encourage or assist
revolution in other states should be
sternly and effectually suppressed and
prevented.
"Tho shadows that now lie dark
upon our path will soon be dispelled
and we shall walk with the light all
about us."

Backed by strong war chests, with

Will Try Again.
At that time the idvorsti-s will try
to make Cascade county a twl by ob
taining t'j per cent of tt.a vote caat
In tbe affected part of Clarkama
county and 35 per rent of iba vole
caat In tbe remainder of Ih vounty.
According to a law, paaacd In 1913.
a new county can be divided by vote
of the people of Iho county. If thoae
percentage of affirmative votee are
obtained.
ftms Probable.
If the move actually Is made, as It
seems probabla It will. It will be tbe
third effort of the people of the east
ern part ot the county to obtain a s-at
of county government nearer to their
homes.
In 1712 they placed the matter be
fore tbe people of tbe stale at a gen
eral election, but It was snowed under
by a heavy negative vote.
Tho following year the Icglslutura
mado It possible for the people of any
county to pass on the question of di
vision themselves, specifying that the
section which was to form the new
county should favor the measure by
a vote of 6i per cent of the voters
living there, and the other part of the
county by 35 per cent
Withholds Right
However, the legislature withheld
to itself the prerogative of dividing a
county by legislative enactment In
case the lawmaking body cared to
authorize a division.
For this reason the people living In
the Cascade district at the last scsalon
attempted io get the legislators to put
through a bl'l creating a new county.
Killed by senate.
The bill passed the house and died
in the senate. The new move is the
last within the range offered the ad
vocates ot the new county, although
It would be possible for them to put
the matter up for a vote at any other
time, or to get a bill Introduced r.t
the next legislature.
Owing to the fact that the election
will be held at the same time as the
road bond election, tbe cost to the
county will be very little. It is under
stood that petitions will be In circula
tion soon. A delegation from Euta
cada was In Portland Thursday, ar
ranging certain legal preliminaries.
