Washington, March 4.--President Wilson's inaugural address, remark­ able for its brevity, was listened to with the greatest interest by the vast throng which was gathered in front of the capltol's east portico, and at its close there was heard nothing but praise for its eloquence and high moral tone. The address in full was as follows: There has been a change of govern­ ment. It began two years ago, when the house of representatives became Democratic by a decisive majority. It has now been completed. The sen­ ate about to assemble will also be Democratic. The offices of president and vice-president have been put into the hands of Democrats. What does the change mean? That is the ques­ tion that is uppermost in our minds today. That is the question I am go­ ing to try to answer, in order. If 1 may, to interpret the occasion. Purpose of the Nation. It means much more than the mere success of a party. The success of a party means little except when the nation is using that party for a large and definite purpose. No one can mistake the purpose for which the nation now seeks to use the Demo­ cratic party. It seeks to use it to in­ terpret a change in its own plans and point of view. Some old things with which we had grown familiar, and which had begun to creep into the very habit of our thought and of our lives, have altered their aspect as we have latterly looked critically upon them, with fresh, awakened eyes; have dropped their disguises and shown themselves alien and sinister. Some new things, as we look frankly upon them, willing to comprehend their real character, have come to as­ sume the aspect of things long believ­ ed in and familiar, stuff of our own convictions. We have been refreshed by a new insight into our own life. We see that In many things that life is very great. It is Incomparably great in Its material aspects, In its body of wealth, in the diversity and sweep of its energy, In the industries which have been conceived and built up by the genius of individual men and the 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 form the beauty and energy of sympathy and helpfulness and counsel in their efforts to rectify wrong, alleviate suffering, and set the weak in the way of strength and hope. We have built up, moreover, a great system of govern­ ment, which has stood through a long age as in many respects a model for those who seek to set liberty upon foundations that will endure against fortuitous change, against storm and accident. Our life contains every great thjng, and contains it in rich abundance. Evils That Have Come. But the evil has come with the good, and much fine gold has been corroded. With riches has come in­ excusable waste. We have squan; dered a great part of what we might have used, and have not stopped to conserve the exceeding bounty of na­ ture, without which our genius for en­ terprise would have been worthless and Impotent, scorning to be careful, shamefully prodigal as well as admir­ ably efficient. We have been proud of our industrial achievements, but we have not hitherto stopped thought­ fully enough to count the human cost, the cost of lives snuffed, out, of ener­ gies overtaxed and broken, the fear­ ful 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 years through. The groans and agony of it all had not yet reached our ears, the solemn, moving undertone of our life, coming up out of the mines and fac­ tories and out of every home where the struggle had Its Intimate and fa­ miliar seat. With the great govern­ ment went many deep secret things which we tog- long delayed to look into and sq^pini^e with candid, fear­ less eyes. The gre^A government we loved has too often been made use of for private and selfish purposes, and those who used it had forgotten the people. At last a vision has been vouch­ safed us of our life as a whole. We see the bad with the good, the de­ based and decadent with the sound and vital. With Ais vision we ap­ proach new affairs. Our duty is to cleanse, to reconsider, to restore, to correct the evil without impairing the good, to purify and humanize every process of our common life without weakening or sentimentalizing it. There has been something crude and heartless and unfeeling in our haste to succeed and be great. Our thought has been 'Let every man look out for him­ self, leV every generation look out for itself,' while we reared giant machin­ ery which made it' Impossible that any but those who stood at the levers of control should have a chance' to look out for themselves. We had not for­ gotten our morals. We remembered well enough that we had set up a policy which was meant to serve the humblest as well as the most power­ ful, with an eye single to the stand­ ards of justice and fair play, and re­ membered it with pride. But we were very heedless and In a hurry to be great. Things io Be Altered. We have come now to the sober second thought. The scales of heed­ lessness have fallen from our eyes. We hav£ made up our minds to square every process of our u*Uo»al life again with the standards we so proud­ ly set up at the beginning and always carried at our hearts. work is a work of restoration. We have Itemised with some degree of particularity the things that ought to be altered and here are some of the ehief Items: 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 private interests; a bank­ ing and currency system based upon the necessity of the government to •ell Its bonds fifty years ago and per­ fectly adapted to concentrating cash and restricting credits: an industrial system which, take it on all its sides, financial is well as administrative, holds capital in lea^Jng strings, re­ stricts the liberties and limits the op­ portunities of labor, and exploits with­ out renewing or conserving the nat­ ural resources of the country; a body of agricultural activities never yet given the efficiency of great business undertakings or served as it Bhould be through tbe instrumentality of science taken directly to the farm, or afforded the facilities of credit best suited to its practical needs; water courses un­ developed, waste places unreclaimed, forests untended, fast disappearing without plan or prospect of renewal, imreg&rded waste fceapB at every mine. We have studied as perhaps no other nation has the most effective means of production, but we have not studied cost or economy as we should either as organizers of Industry, as states- or as Individuals. Government for Humanity. Nor have we' studied and perfected the means by which government may be put at the service of humanity, in safeguarding the health of the nation, the health of its men and its women and Its children, as well as their rights inpho struggle for existence. This is no sentimental duty. The firm basis of government is justice, not pity. These are matters of justice. There can be no equality or opportunity, the first essential of justice in the body politic, if men and women and chil­ dren be not shielded in their lives, their very vitality, from the conse­ quences of great industrial and Bocial processes which they cannot alter, control, or singly cope with. Society must see to it that it does. not itself crush or weaken or damage its own constituent parts. The first duty of law Is to'keep sound the society It serves. Sanitary laws, pure food laws, and l&ws determining conditions of labor which individuals are powerless to determine for themselves are inti­ mate parts of the very business of Jus­ tice and legal efficiency. These are some of the things we ought to do, and not leave the others JUST BEFORE MEXICAN REVOLUTION BROKE OUT $ 81II 1 ,r "T||i Lkiiiiii lllllWIIIIIIIIIIHMiMr m fm Si t ^ ^ m£\ M-vi ( -ik \ • uic uiu-iaouiuucu) ucvci'iu-uc* neglected, fundamental safeguarding of property and of individual right. This is the bigh enterprise of the new day; to lift everything that concerns our life as a nation to the light that shines from the hearthflre of every man's conscience and vision of the right. It is inconceivable that we should do this as partisans; it is in­ conceivable we should do it in ignor­ ance of the facts as they are or in blind haste. We shall restore, not de­ stroy. We shall 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 excite­ ment of excursions whither they can­ not tell. Justice, and only Justice, shall always be our motto. Nation Deeply Stirred. And yet it will be no cool process of mere science. The nation has been deeply stirred, stirred by a solemn passion, stirred by the knowledge of wrong, of ideals lost, of government too often debauched and made an in­ strument of evil. The feelings with which we face this new age 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 the brother are one. We know our task to be no mere task of politics but a task which shall search us through and through, whether we be able to understand our time and the need of our people, whether we be in­ deed their spokesmen and interpre* ters, whether we have the pure heart to comprehend and the rectified will to choose our high course of action. This is not a day of triumph; 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! The Wheelbarrow. If you have occasion to use a Wheel­ barrow, leave It, when you are through with it, In front of the house with the handles towards tte door. A wheel­ barrow Is the most complicated thing to fall over on the face of the-earth. A man will fall over one when he would never think of falling over any­ thing else. He never knows when he has got through falling over it, either; for it will tangle his legs and his arms, turn over with him and rear up in front of him, and just as he pauses In his profanity to congratulate himself, it takes a new turn, and scoops more skin off of him, and he commences to evolute anew, and bump himself on fresh places. A man never ceases to fall over a wheelbarrow until it turns completely on Its back, or brings up against something It cannot upset. It is the most inoffensive looking object there is, but it is more dangerods than a locomotive, and no man is se­ cure with one unless he has a tight hold on its handles, and Is sitting down on something. A wheelbarrow has Its uses, without doubt, but in its leisure moments it is the great blight­ ing curse on true dignity.--James Montgomery Bailey. Removing the Rust From Steel.

TROOPS IN BATTLE CLASH WITH MEXICAN8 ON BOR­ DER NEAR DOUGLAS, ARIZ. ;Americans Kill Four of Enemy With­ out Any Loss to Themselves-- Excitement Intense. Douglas, Ariz., March 4.--The first fighting between American troops and Mexicans during the1 present trouble in Mexico occurred three miles from this city on Sunday. In a hot skirmish between regular Mexican soldiers and troopers of the Ninth United States cavalry four Mexicans were killed and several wounded. < There were no cas­ ualties on the American side. Intense excitement prevails all along the bor­ der as a result of the fight. Believing the Mexicans have begun an organ­ ized movement to terrorize the bor­ der, armed Americans are camping on the boundary line, while hunj|reds of others are armed and ready to take the field. Four American army officers walk­ ing on the American line three miles irom Douglas, are reported to beve been fired on by forty regular Mexi­ can soldiers, patrolling the border out of Agua Prieta, opposite Douglas. Six­ teen of the negro troopers ' of the Ninth rushed to the place of the fir­ ing and a spirited skirmish ensued. The American soldiers were hold­ ing their position at the International line when reinforced by two troops of the Ninth. The Mexicans were routed, leaving four killed on the field, and others straggling through the brush, nursing their wounds. It is said that the American troops became so ex­ cited that they overstepped the boundary and pursued tbe Mexicans for some distance. Mexico City, March 4.--In a fight in the suburbs of Santa Julia between Madero rurales and government troops, 100 rurales were killed. REPORT ON HARVESTER MADE Commissioner Conant Says Company Haa Monopolistic and Unfair Competitive Methods. Washington, March 4.--Luther Con­ ant, Jr., commissioner of corporations, Monday submitted to the president his report on the International Harvester company, a long and exhaustive docu­ ment which concludes with the state­ ment that the company's position in the industry Is chiefly due to a monop­ olistic combination in the harvester machine business, certain unfair com­ petitive methods and superior com­ mand of capital. The report shows that the five con­ cerns that consolidated in 1902 had been in keen competition, but that this competition had not been destructive as a't least four of them have been mak­ ing good profits. The new company, says Mr. Conant, was able to maintain Its monopolistic position and extend on a large scale Into' new lines of the farm machinery industry, in part by the acquisition of some of its chief rivals In the harvesting machine busi­ ness; in part by using its monopolist­ ic advantage in these lines to force the sale of its new lines; in part by certain objectionable competitive methods, and especially. through its ex­ ceptional command of capital, itself the result of combination. The com­ missioner found that the value of the physical properties that were involved In the consolidation plus the working capital covered substantially 90 per cent of the capital stock issued.

Mrs. Mabel Mills From San Antonio, Tex., Attacked and Left Uncon- scloue--Handbag From Which Money Was Taken Found. Chicago, March 4.--Beaten into un­ consciousness and robbed of $43,500 was the fate of Mrs. Mabel Mills, wife of a wealthy land owner of San An- tonia, Tex., guest in the Congress hotel, on one of the principal street^ of Evanston at ten o'clock Saturday night. The assailant escaped and the police have no clue as to his Identity. Mrs. Mills is lying In a serious con­ dition, in the Evanston hospital with a oVnll DKvalnlane «»»I ^ she cannot live. The affair presents the Evanston and Chicago police with <one of the most baffling mysteries in the history of the two departments. Mrs. Mills, who Is well known in Evanston society and to the manage­ ment of the Congress hotel, had been in Chicago for about a week, presum­ ably on a pleasure trip. On Saturday morning she cashed a personal check for $45,000 at the Union Trust and Savings bank. This is verified by Frederick H. Rawson, president of the trust com]>any. Saturday evening she took supper at the home of Mrs. H. L. Stevens, 819 Lincoln street, Evanston. She had the money when she left the Stevens' home In a cab. This Is veri­ fied by one of the women guests. Later Mrs. Mills boarded an elevated train and got Off in Edgewater, when she discovered that she had left her smaller purse, containing $1,950, be­ hind. She returned to Evanston. At about 10:30 she was found In a dazed condition on the front porch of the home of Mrs. A. J. Cooper, 806 Milburn avenue. Her handbag was found on Central street between Ridge and Sherman avenues. . It was open, and a short distance away from it lay the envelope in which Mrs. Mills had placed the bulk of her money. On account of the woman's condi­ tion she was unable to account cleKr- Iy for her movements.

Winnipeg, today, where Chicago stands as far lng the base of the great and agricultural country lying % thousand miles back of It It has aa advantage that Chicago did not have, for no country in the world's history has attracted to its borders* a larger number of settlers in so short a time, or has attracted so much wealth in a period of equal length, as have the Canadian prairies. Nevor before hM pioneering been accomplished under conditions so favorable as those that exist in Western Canada today. The provinces of Manitoba, Sas­ katchewan, and Alberta have the largest area of desirable lands on the North American Continent, and their cultivation has just begun. Even with a two hundred million bushel wheat crop less than eight per cent, of the land Is under the four per cent being in wheat. than five years ago the wheat crop was only seventy-one million bushels. It is a simple calculation to estimate that if four per cent, of the available cultivable area produces something over two hundred million bushels, what will forty-four per cent, produce? And then look at thd immigration that is coming into the country. In 1901 it was 49,149; 17,000 being from the United States. In 1906 it was 189,064, of which 57,000 were Americans, and In 1912 it was about 400,000, of which about 200,000 are Americans. In the three years prior to 1912, there were 358,859 persons who declared them­ selves for Canada, who brought into Canada in cash, bank drafts, stock, implements and effects over $350,000,- 000. Why have they gone to Canada? The American farmer is a man of shrewd business instincts, and when he finds that he can sell his own farm at from $100 to $200 per acre and move into Canada and homestead 160 acres for himself, and similarly for all his soiyp who are adult and of age, upon lands as rich and fertile as those he had left, and producing, Indeed, sev- prfli bushels to tu vuo T6 !u caCODQ VI anything he has ever known, it will take more than an ordinary efTort to prevent him from making the change He can also purchase good lands at from $12 to $25 per acre. And, then, too, there is the Ameri­ can capital following the capital of brawn, muscle and sinew, following It so as to keep in touch with the indus­ trious farmer with which he has had dealings for years back. This capital and the capital of farming experience Is no small matter in the building up of a country. Will Western Canada's development continue? Why not? The total area of land reported as available for cul­ tivation is estimated as 218,000,000 acres; only fifteen per cent, of this la under cultivation. Nothing is said of the great mineral and forest wealth, of which but little has yet been touched.--Advertisement SHE WASNT SKEPTICAL. • "Mebby youse wouldn't berlleve it, ma'am, but I oome uv purty good stock."
