Evjue 1 FLEETING OBSERVATIONS ON INAUGURATION DAY: The day dawned murky and misty. Does the fog which enveloped the rapltol dome th.s morning portend anything for the next two years? With the Progressives ccntrolUc.g the governorship and the conservatives the state senate, will the fog of partisanship obscure the welfare of the state during the coming biennium? At 10 o'clock this morning nearly two hours before 'lw beginning of the inauguration ceremony, scores of people had taken positions of vantage in the balconies of the rotunda opposite the Inaugural stand. There were no reserved seats except for members of the Inaugural party and members of the state legislature and the rule prevailing was first come best places to see.

One of the impressive features of the inauguration today was the administration of the oath of office to Gov. Phil La Follette by Chief Justice Rosenberry, Back in the old days when the Progressive movement was In its Infancy. Chief Justice Rosenberry, then a lawyer at Wausau, and the elder La Follette were In hostile ramps. Today there Is a warm personal affection between the Chief Justice and the new governor. This personal friendship developed when Phil was in the law school and heard Mr.

Rosenberry lecture from time to time. One of Madison's highly belovrd figures who has taken part in many inaugural parades was missing today. The news headlines carried the death of Burr W. Jones. The vigorous, dignified figure of Mr.

Jones has been a Joy to Madison for decades and he caught the admiration of everyone in the way that he repelled the advance of time. Judge Jones will be missed by his thousands of Madison friends and admirers throughout the state. There was another man in Ihe inaugural parade who has marched to the inaugural stand for decade after decade with Judge Jones. William R. Bagley, the master of ceremonies today, was secretary of the inaugural committee which inducted Gov.

Hoard into office in 1888. The dignified, immaculately dressed Mr, Bagley has had an important part in nearly every inauguration tlnce. The newspaper boys are here all ready for the session to begin. Ed Kavany will watch the proceedings for the Milwaukee Sentinel. Harry Croy will be the scout for the Hearstllng Wisconsin News.

La Follette in his Inaugural address at the capitol this noon. Pointing out that the five principal state officials are of different political parties, the newly Inaugurated governor said: "There are times when it is necessary to emphasize such economic and political differences. But where, as now, those differences are already marked, and where concerted action is imperative, one of our tasks must be to find and emphalze those matters upon which there can and should be common agreement.

Government in Danger, View Gov. La Follette also declared that popular government Is in danger throughout the world today, and said that "definite evidence indicates America Is not immune from the menace of the "autocratic rule of the few. Following is Gov. La Toilettes address in full: "We are in the sixth year of intense and difficult times. Every phase of our life still feels the strain of continued hardship and privation.

"It Is only natural that prolonged distress of this kind should deepen our disagreements as to the causes of and the remedies for our economic condition. At the same time we need a government unSted in policy and capable of bold, concerted action.

He rarely missed an association meeting and was among those to return to the campus to meet old classmates at commencement time. At the golden Jubilee of the class of 1870, -held in 1920, Mr.

Jones was the principal speaker at the class banquet. Justice Jones was appointed to the supreme court in 1920 by Gov. E. L. Philipp, succeeding Chief Justice John B.

Two years later, at the age of 76, the Justice was re-elected by a large majority over hia Socialist opponent. He continued active in the courts affairs.

He wrote decisions in many of the court's most Important cases at that time. Including the action involving the right of the state to tax stock dividends as income, a right which Justice Jones held to be established by the constitution.
