James M. Cox of Dayton was formally inaugurated governor of Ohio today at' liobn. There have been oilier governors inaugurated -i'i of them. There will be still other governors inaugurated after he has served the state iu that cr pat-it y. But it is safe to say that never before in the history "'of the state has a governor taken the oath of office under more f.ivorable auspices, nor that never again will a man be inducted into the great office with greater en-eouragement for his successful administration.

For. in 'the final analysis, it is the confidence of the people that constitutes favorable auspices. It is the good wishes for his success, the lack of opposition, the absence of secret prayers that he fail those are the things Which count for more than the' gilt and tinsel and pageantry. The gill and tinsel were not lucking. Those having the inauguration ceremonie in charge had prepared abundantly -for display.

Formality was in evidence everywhere, except in the greeting with which, the governor was received and the greetings which he gHve. But the governor, himself, had nothing to do with tho arrangements. Otherwise there would have been less of the formal gressive party had a hand iu the arrangements. So it is true in every sense of the word tljat it. was not the inauguration oi! a partisan governor that the state has a governor who rises over and above partisanship.

The Democrats were present-thousands and thousands of them. They came from every section of the state. They gloried in their victory, in their triumph at the polls. They rejoiced that one of their own should have been chosen serve the state. But they were not arrogant; they were well-poised and calm, as if they desired only to show others that they are getting used to furnishing governors.

The Stately Capitol. The stately old capitol never looked statelier. One must get acquainted with it to appreciate its beauties. One must understand architecture, and study the outlines and proportions of the building to comprehend its majesty. One, must 'walk through it, and gaze at the splendid Roman ceilings, to know that here was built, years and years ago, a structure that will hold its beauty and its charm for a thousand years and more.

one would have to see the building today, with its decorations and illuminations, to get the spirit of the state of Ohio. For in all the history of the capitol, with its many memorable records, it has never appeared to such good advantage it has never before taken such glorious splendor. In the Great Rotunda. The great rotunda was a mellowed diffusion of light and shadows. In the dome were placed masses of electric lights, forming stars and wreaths and vines.

About the arches shone masses of colored bulbs. The national colors blepded with the whole surroundings. The draperies were graceful in their folds, and the softened light thai streamed through the windows' made poetry of ihe whole interior 'of the building. The long halls, with their marbled their arched ceilings; were, of glimmering lights. The portraits of Ohio's illustrious sons seemed gladdened et the scene.

But the real inspiration of the occasion was the surging mass of humanity men and women and children, pleasant in contemplation of the greatness of the state they love; happy that peace prevails in such times as these; gladdened at the gorgeous view, and serene in all things. Only a small portion of the great throng could for'ee its way into the building while the inaugural ceremonies were taking place. But there were great masses of people gathered at points of vantage, gazing at the boilding and watching the parade. From every window, from every doorway, from street and pavement and park, there were good- CntUac Page 8, Colam 1.) Inaugural Address of Gov. James M.

Cox and more of the informal attendant upon the ceremonies. The bands played, the cannon boomed, the horses of the. peace officers pranced, chimes Announced the changing of an administration. Marching clubs decked in their finest apparel paraded the streets, splendid equipages were everywhere in evidence. Good-Natured Sightseers.

But of deeper meaning than all of these was the general good nature of the sightseers, and the cheerful, hopeful conversations 'heard upon every corner and wherever a little party congregated. Everywhere there was evidence of the love and esteem in which the new governor is held. From no place came even so much as a hint that he would not have a united people with him. Political terms were forgotten. Only by rememberjng the records could one tell that he is a Democratic governor.

Republicans, and IVogressives, and "Prohibitionists. 8nd Socialists everybody here in fc seemed to feel that they themselves were inaugurating a governor 'who is to serve hem for wo years. There was an entire lack of partisanship any-where displayed In fact, probably a majority of the committee that arranged the proceedings were Republicans. Certainly the judge who administered the oath is the one remaining Republican judge of the supreme court. The Republican chairman of the state committee is an active member of the entertainment committee.

Prominent members of the Pro- higher moral vision, atid It would have been a distinct anomaly of history ir government had not been carried on in the progress of the time. It requires considerable faith in the righteousness of a cause to turn face from the idd ordiT of things, mindful that in the plans and policies of government, about to be adopted, are involved the hopes and aspirations, the happiness and general welfare of five million human souls. I sense therefore the sublime resionsibility of this hour! Hut history tells us that while we can profit immeasurably by the experience of the past, every government that has. endured, kept Its face toward tlie sunrise and not the sunset of Wo must feed on the vitality of growth; not on the decay of decline. We reverence the works of our fathers, and seek to prove ourselves the worthy sons of worthy sires, bv making as great development in our time its they made In theirs.

Ours Is not the creed of the cynic, looking with worn upon the instil ut ions of yesterday. Civiluatlon is simply a relay race, and unless take it up with the freshness of spirit with which our fathers began it, the generation is in a condition of certain decay. will be 'made, Iwcause government is the creature of man. Itnt if civili.ntlon from its beginning had followed the course of least resistance and not approached uncertainty with experimentation, tills old world of ours would present a far different aspect. An advanced civilization dor not refine government from caprice, but from necessity.

Tlie savage needs no government, because the Interdependence oT human units Is not a characteristic of his existence. As a race progresses dependence on each other increases, and the meaning exact justice to all Is understood and the enforcement of that principle In government is demanded. The genius of man lias invented no system Intter fitted to work a greater national destiny than the even, balanced relation of our federal ami state governments. In our commonwealth there Is now a marked tendency toward a larger measure of home ride for municipalities, and au Increased opjHirt unity in their community affairs. At tlie same time tliere is exacted an increased jsdice power from the state In the projects of general human welfare that vitu only ho kept uniform in their beneficence by operation of the state unit.

Kxperl-ence luis demonstrated tlie soundness of the theory. Iu prmtice it hrlngs added responsibility with reference to matters of closer contact, and as we stimulate Interest in the plain duty of citizenship, we a iv, by improved community life, building a state structure of greater strength mid usefulness.

JIrtofnre the two messpge. have been combined in the ut'dres and the result hus beon a speech of several hours' duration, often delivered to a crowd ehilltd to the bono by 1m lement weather. Governor Cox's inaugural address today was less than one thousand words, and Its delivery consumed utile i few minutes. Ibid ho incl'ided- in it his message to the legislature, whic will be submitted to that body In printed form on Tuesday, at Ir-ipt two hours would been required to deliver it. The distiiif tlve departure brought rth many expressions' of economic life.

We are entering upon a new dnv. The evolutions mid liroeesws of time are working great nd winces in every activity of man. The forces of human Intelligence have carried us to a point of To tlic Teople of Ohio: I indulge the hope that endorsement will he given to a change in custom, made thin day, in taking from the Inaugural address that port which deals entirely with recommendations to the General As. senibly, and submitting my views to that body in writing. The growth in the activities and scope of our government entails a legislative message or such length as to encroach on th.

proprieties of this solemn occasion, and work a distinct inconvenience and discomfort to the organizations and Individuals, who in patriotic fervor, desire to participate In the arrangement that are to follow. Every impulse of my nature responds to the highest sense of obligation for the honor now conferred, in compliance with Hie suffrage expression of the electors, and yet, an appreciation of the responsibilities which go with it, reminds us of human limitations, and inspire the hope that our endeavors along the lines of justice and honesty, in the vision of the ltuier of all governments, will gain the benediction of IHs favor and assistance. While the executive station is one of generally accepted distinction, to me it does not besiK-ak elevation above my fellows. The relation of private citizenship establishes an eo.ual base, but when one assumes the duties Incumbent upon this office, a proper conception of the situation makes him the servant of the Mople, and nnless be responds to full appreciation of tlie suerior rlghtfl and powers of those he agrees to serve, he begins either with falso rlsion, or with a species of treason In his heart. There is much in tlie theory of the anelenw that nothing makes stronger appeal to the Almighty than the congregation of plo under peaceful auspices for the purpose of refining government to the needs and advancement of tho race.

If that were a spectacle of such omen In olden days then this day holds every portent for good, hceauso every community is represented in the festivities of the occasion end without regard to class or creed, Ibey exhibit their attachment to our Institutions of government. Ohio is a wonderful state and rich In tlie traditions that Inspire a proud citizenship. Her fertile soil, picturesque beau tie and delightful climate, attracted her borders a stnrdy of people, and they have here builded an empire in cuent and treasure.
