Washington, March 5 ? President
Wooil row ,\"ilson took the oath of
office which made him president of
the United States, at 10:55 fester
day morning. He repeated the oath
in a firm voice then bent his head
and kissed the Bible. During the
solemnity of the occasion the crowd
was perfectly silent, and for a few
seccnds after the president had
kissed the holy book they stood with
uncovered heads amid absolute
<iui t, when with one accord they
broke forth in tumultuous cheers,
during which a veritable pande
r.onium reigned. The excitement
. -is contagious and men and women
joined in the shouting.
Over a half millions of people vis
?itd the inaugral parade which was
the **reatest ever held, thousands
< soldiers and marines with compa
nies of artillery and cavalry stretch
out for miles.
In President Wilson's inaugural
address, he took the keynote of
wait until you are right, then go
ahead. He would surround the peo
* le of the country with safeguards
a-ainst predatory wealth and the
oppression of dishonest trusts. He
raid that the country had developed
in such a hurry that in the rush
humanity ^ad oftentimes been over
looked.
He found that In the mad scram
ble for wealth, wi:h everyone look
ing out for himself, the country had
mown careless of future conditions
and future generations. This had
developed a sordid condition of mind
under which no true, lasting good
could arise to bless mankind. It is
row time to take a reckoning and
strive to bring about better condi
tions. With that end in view Mr.
V llson said "1 want to summon all
In nest mei: to my side, and God
helping me, I will not fail, if they
but council and sustain me."
The last official act of President
Taft was to veto the Sundry Civil
Service Bill* The House immedi
ately passed it over his head and
then adjourned at 12:04 noon.
In the selection of his cabinet
President Wilson has shown rare
judgment. a brief biography of
Iho men constituting it shows them
to be peculiarly fitted for the posi
tions which they are to superintend.
