tiii: in u <;i ration.
All the world knows that the Domuocratie
party, as represented by Wootlrow
Wilson and Thomas It. Marshall
and a majority in each branch ot < ongress,
assumed control of tie government
of the I'nited States March 1.
Mr. Wilson, after taking the oath of
office as President, declared that the
party had been chosen by the people to
perform a ta.-k: that the event was no;
one of more politics, not a triumph, bit'
a dedi< at ion.
The Capital was crowded by hosts of
visitors front all parts o: the nation,
who demonstrated in the parade and
the associated acclaim, a rejoicing for
party success, the tirst since Marcn,
1S9C, when Drover Cleveland became
President.
i\ \rci k\i, unmnss.
In delivering his inaugural address,
after noting the complete change in
government front Republican to Democratic
control, the President defined th->
purpose of tlte change as follows:
"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
peeks to use the Democratic party. It
seeks to use it to interpret a change
in Its own plans and point of view. Some
old things with which we had grown
familiar, and which had begun to croon
into the very habit of our thoughts and
of our lives, have alterod 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
now thines, as we look frankly upon
them, willing to comprehend their real
character, have come to assume the
aspect of things long believed in and
familiar stuff of our own convictions.
We have been refreshed by a new insight
into our own life."
After defining the more prominents
policies of the new administration, the
President concluded as folows:
These are some of the things we
ought to do. and not leave the others
undone, the old-fashioned, never-to-be
neglected, fundamental safeguarding of
property and of individual right. This
is the high enterprise of the now day;
to life everything that concerns our life
as a nation to the light that shines from
the hearth-fire of every man's conscience
and vision of the right. It is
inconceivable that we should do this as
partisans; it is inconceivable we should
do it in ignorance of the facts as they
are or in blind haste. "We shall restore,
not destroy. We shall deal with our
eeonomic 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 excitement
of excursions whither they cannot tell.
Justice, and only justice, shall always
be our motto.

because it pate the
States the right to interfere with interstate
commerce. Closely following
the Senate, on March 3. the House
passed the Webb bill over the Presidents
veto by an overwhelming majority.
Representative Webb, author of
the bill on being informed of President
Taft's ,*eto had said: "I am not at all
surprised at Mr. Taft's veto. It was
expected from the beginning, although
in doing so he arrogates to himself

chance than did poor Madero on his
way from the palace to the penitentiary.
"T am greatly surprised, however, at
the President's cheap conduct in holding
the hill until the eleventh hour
and fifty-ninth minute, evidently for the
purpose of making its passage over his
veto that much more difficult, owing to
the crush of business in the closing
hours of Congress

Consternation spread widely among
the propety-owning clashes of Germany
as the news became kno.vn that Emperor
William lias announced that this
year s taxation will be the heaviest ever
demanded in times of peace and has
warned his subjects that this will bo a
year of sacrifice" in Germany like that
just a century ago?the year 1S13. It
is now given out that J130,000.000 will
be the sum demanded this year for the
projected increase of Germany's army
and for new fortifications which it is
especially planned to build on the Russian
frontier. Indeed, there threatens
to be something in the nature of an exodus
among old people who are living
on incomes derived from small capital
accumulated after years of toil and
i ii in. .uaiiy win leave uermany and
take up residences in Switzerland.
Every person having a capital of more
than $5,000 will be compelled to pay
from one-half to one per cent, of the
value of their possessions. This proposed
levy is roundly denounced as
smacking more of confiscation than
taxation. The only consolation Is the
small one that the emperor himself
and all the petty German sovereigns
and princes must also meet the tax. The
program contemplates adding 100,000
fresh troops to the German army within
two years.
A good man is happy within himself,
and not dependent upon fortune; kind
to his friend, temperate to his enemy,
religiously just, lndefatigably laborious
and he discharges all duties with a
constancy and congruity of action.?
