8. Governor Cox. soon after taking the oath, delivered the following address: Standing here in the presence of monuments of the past, and looking out on the vast sea of uncertainty ahead of us, there comes an overwhelming feeling of human limitition, and our utter dependence on the God of all nations. But we are strengthened by the conviction that He has enriched our history by His design and will continue His benedictions if we but hold to the ideals which our government was builded. We assemble at the governmental shrine of our beloveed state, pledging again our homage to those who long ago made this day possible, and swearing our faithful protection to the treasured legacies bequeathed to us.

We cannot forget that our shrine has) been annointed by the blood of brave men and the tears of nohle women. We cannot restrain the pride knowing that in war and peace Ohio has made resplendent contribution in valor and statesmanshipthat her song led the mightiest armies of their day and assumed leadership of the nation when storm and stress called for men of iron. Steeped In such memories we ought not fail we cannot fail to see our duty now. The rarest gift from Divine hands is the desire. to progress, and to build better tomorrow than today.

Whenever the blue prints of yesterday are the unaltered architectural plans for tomorrow, the hand of decay, is insidiously, but surely tightening its grip. We believe In exploring uncharted seus, but not in pleasurable adventure, and the safest fuel for the -cruise is the experience of the past. Without chance assumed. there would be no experiment, and if the genius of man had not long ago turned toward the solution of things unknown, we would he living in the jungle. Never before was there such pressure of human intelligences upon mystery.

and possibility As now and in this wondrous day of achievement, government, which is simply means and method of human expression. must go' forward. We have great problems to meet. The world, in a sense, is to be made over when passion dies and races of men turn from the horrors of war to peace. Our state has always been a chosen asylum for the oppressed, and countless thousands will continue to come.

Let us so temper restraint of law with justice that every re class and, creed will know its meaning, and" become protectors of the ark of government. We are expected in time of hazard, to protect man, woman and child within our borders to enforce the law with such firmness as to preserve its majesty and dignitymaintain that even- relation to nation and community so necessary under our democracy in government- to search every lofty endeavor and give It such spur as function admits -to prevent inequalities through administrative policy or statutry writ--to mark no preference between labor and capital- to know no difference between the rights of cottage and castle. In short, to make of government a beacon light of protection and helpfulness that will be seen from every home. Sensing as I do these solemn obligations. I humbly invoke the guidance of an all-wise God, asking from Him the light to point the way, and the strength to do right.

NONSECTARIAN SCHOOLS Orying Need of Mexico, According to American Educators. Cincinnati, Jan. 8. -Intervention in Mexico, not with arms but by free. public, nonsectarian schools, was recommended in a report issued by a self-constituted committee of cans of national reputation as educators or publicists.

The committee began studying Mexican conditions about a year and a half ago. Its conclusions were summarized as follows: "The chaos existing in Mexico is due to variety of racial elements, woeful lack of general education, still greater lack of political experience and rapacity and cupidity of the edu cated leaders, and, in a few instances, of intelligent uneducated." To make educational intervention effective the committee recommended establishment of a nonsectarian college modeled after the Roberts college in Constantinople. The recommendation does not say what agency should establish such a college, cept that it should have the backing of the American people. New Mayor of West Mansfield. Marysville, Jan 8-0.

IS A DRASTIC MEASURE Provides For An Eight- Hour Day and Make Strikes or Lockouts Without a Ninety-Days' Notice I- legal Arguments Opened in Federal Supreme Court on Constitutionality of the Adamson Act. Washington. Jan. attorneys in the United States supreme court were making their opening arguments on the constitutionality of the Adamson act, Representative Ad amson, father of the law, began a fight in the house for prompt passage of his new blanket railway bill, intended to cover every phase of the situation, and resumed his efforts in behalf of continuing the life of the Newlands railway investigating committee. The new Adamson bill would provide an eight-nour day, make strikes or lockouts without a ninety-day notice illegal and permit the taking over of railwey lines by the military on the orders of the president when public convenience demands such ac tion.

Drastic though the bill is admitted to be, Mr. Adamson expresses confidence that it will be enacted into law. Save for the eight-hour day provision. measure is understood to have the approval of the president. The eight-hour provision was written without consulting the president.

"I didn't consult with either the employers or the employes regarding this bill." Representative Adamson said. "I took only the public into consideration. The railroads are trying to run up all the overtime they can to make the Adamson act look bad, and the men are insisting that the measure was for the purpose of fixing wages, which It was not. think it's time the public nad a hand in the proceedings." Coincident with the renewed activ. ity in the railroad controversy Warren S.

Stone, nead ct the engineers' brotherhood, spent the day here going over the situation. He declined to make any comment on the new Adamson bill or any phase of the problem. Pending the court's decision, which is expected within a few weeks, all litigation regarding the law Is St18pended by formal stipulation of railroad and government counsel.
