WASHINGTON— (UP) —Follow ing is the text of Mr. Hoover's in augural address: "My countrymen: “TCiis occasion Is not alone the administration of the most sabred oath which can be assumed by an American citizen. It is a dedication and consecration under God, to the highest office in service of our peo ple. I assume this trust in the nu mility of knowledge that only through the guidance of Almighty Providence can I hope to dlssharge Its ever increasing burdens. It is in keeping with tradition throughout our history that I should exrpess simply and directly the opinions which I hold concerning some of the matters of presem. im portance. “Our Progress" "If we survey the situation of our nation, both at home and abroad, we find many satisfactions; we find some causes for concern. We have emerged from the losses of the great war and the reconstruction follow ing it with increased virility and strength. From this strength we have contributed to the recovery and Jwogress of the world. What Amer en lias done has given renewed hope and courage to all who have faith In government by the people. "In the large view, we have reached a higher degree of comfort and security than ever existed be fore in the history of the world. (Through liberation from widespread poverty we have reached a hlghei degree of individual freedom than ever before. The devotion to and concern of our institutions are deep and sincere. We are steadily build ing a new race—a new civilization great in its own attainments. The influence and high purposes of our nation are respected among the peoples of the world. We aspire to distinction in the world, but to a distinction based upon confidence In our sense of Justice as well as our accomplishments within our own border* and in our own lives. For wise guidance in this great period of recovery the nation is deeply in debted to Calvin Coolidge. "But all this majestic advance should not obscure the constant dangers from which self government must be safeguarded. The strong man must at all times be alert to the attack of insidious disease. failure or Criminal Justice* "The most malign of all these dangers today is disregard and dis obedience of law. Crime is increas ing. Confidence in rigid and speedy Justice is decreasing. I am not pre Eared to believe that it Indicates an npotence of the federal govern ment to enforce Its laws. "It is only In part due to the ad ditional burdens imposed upon our Judicial system by the 18th amend ment. The problem is much wider than that. Many influences had in creasingly complicated and weak ened our law enforcement organiza tion long before the adoption of the 18th amendment. “To re-establish the vigor and ef fectiveness of its of law enforcement we must criticjly consider the en tire iederal machinery of Justice, the redistribution of its functions, the simplification of its procedure, the provisions of additional special trib unals, the better selection of Juries, and the more effective organization cf our agencies of investigation and prosecution that Justice may be sure and tiia.t it may be swift. While the authority of the federal government extends to but part of our vast system of national, state and local justice, yet the standards which the federal government estab lishes have the most profound in fluence upon the whole structure. Ill-Adapted to Conditions "We are fortunate in the ability of integrity of our federal Judges and attorneys. But the system which these officers are called upon to administer is. in many respects, Ill-adapted to the present day con ditions. Its intricate and involved rules cf procedure have become the refuge of both big and little crim inal's. There is a belief abroad that by invoking technicalities, subtei luge and delay the ends of Justice may be thwarted by those who can pay tne cost. Keiorxn, reorganlzation, ana fltrrngthenlng of our whole Judicial , end enforcement svstem. both in civil and criminal aides, have been ! advocated for years bv statesmen. Judges and bur associations. First steps toward that end should no I longer be delayed. Rigid and ex peditious Justice is the first safe guard of freedom, the basis of all ordered liberty?* the vital force of progress. It must not come to be in our r.-public that I can be defeated I by the indifference of the citizen, bv exploitation of the delays ami j entanglements of the law, or bv I combinations of criminals. Justice , must not fail because the Mender I of enforcement are ruther ' delin quent or inefficiently organized To consider these evils, to find their remedy, is the most sore necessnv of our times. •Enforcement of 18th Amendment” “Of the undoubted abuses which rove grown up under the LRth •merriment, part are due to the causes I have ju't mentioned; but pert are due to the failure of some states to accept their share of re sponsibility for concurrent enforce ment and to the failure of mam state end local officials to accept the obligation under their oath oi office zealously to enforce the law^ With the failures from these mam causes has come a dangerous ex pansion in the criminal elements who have found enlarged oppo> tunnies in dealing in Illegal liquo> “Hut a large resporvibilit v rents directly upon our citizens. There would be little traffic in illegal liquor If onlv criminals patronized it. We must awakr to the fact that this patronage from large numbers of law abiding citizens is supplying the rewards and stimulating crime. "I have been selected by you ' Chance to Get Even.

I propose to do so to the extent of my own abil ities, but the measure of suc cess that the government shall attain will depend upon the moral support which you, as citizens, extend. The duty of citizens to support the iaws of the land is co-equal with the duty of their government to enforce the laws which exist. Service of Goodwill “No greater national service can be given by men and women of goodwill—who, I know, are not un mindful of the responsibilities of citizenship—than that they should, by their example, assist In stamping out crime and outlawry by refusing participation In and condemning all transactions of illegal liquor. Our whole system of self government will crumble either If officials elect what laws they will enforce or citi zens elect what laws they will sup port. The worst evil of disregard for some law Is that it destroys re spect for all law. “For our citizens to patronize the violation of a particular law, on the ground that they are opposed to It. is destructive on the very basis of all that protection of life, of homes and property which they rightly claim under other laws. If citizens do not like a law. their duty, as honest men and women, Is to dis courage its violation; their part Is openly to work for Its repeal. “To those of criminal mind there can be no appeal but vigorous en forcement of the law. Fortunately, they are but a small percentage of our people. Their activities must be stopped. National Investigation "I propose to appoint a national commission for a searching Inves tigation of the whole structure of our federal system of Juriaprduce. to Include the method of enforcement of the 18th amendment and the causes of abuse under it. "Its purpose will be to make such recommendations for re-organiza tion of the administration of fed eral laws and court procedure as may be found desirable In the meantime. It Is essential that a large part of the enforcement ac tivities be transferred from the treasury department to the depart ment of justice as a beginning of more effective organization. "Government Relation to Business” "The election has again confirmed the determination of the American people that regulation of private enterprise, and not government ownership or operation, is the course rightly to be pursued in our relation to business. In recent years we have established a differ entiation in the whole method of business regulation between the in dustries. which produce and distrib ute commodities on the one hand, and public utilities on the other. In the latter, because we substantial ly confer a monopoly by limiting competition, we must regulate their services and rates. “The rigid enforcement of the laws applicable to both groups is the very base of equal opportunity and freedom from comination for ail our people, and it is just as essen tial for the stability and prosperity of business itself as for the protec tion of the public at large. "Such regulation should be ex tended by the federal government within the limitations of the consti tution and only when the Individu al states are without power to pro- | tect their citizens tnrough their own authority. On the other hand, we should be fearless when the author ity rests only in the federal govern ment. "Co-Operation by Government” "The large purpose of our eco nomic thought should be to estab lish more firmly stability and se curity of business and employment and thereby remove poverty still further from our borders. Our peo ple have In recent years developed a new found capacity for co-opera tion among themselves to effect high purposes in public welfare. It is an advance toward the highest conception of self government. “Self government does not. and should not, imply the use of politic al agencies alone. Progress is born of co-operation In the com munity—not from governmental re straints. The government should assist and encourage these move ments of collective self held bv Itself co-operating with them Business has, bv co-operation, made great progress in the advancement of ser vice. in stability, in regularity of employment and in the correction of its own abuses. Such progress, j however, can continue only so long j as business manilests its respect for law. There Is an equally Important i field of co-operation by the federal government with the multitude of ! agencies, state, municipal and pri- ! vate. in the systematic development of those processes which directly af- i feet public health, recreation, edu cation and the home, We have need further to perfect the means bv which government can be adapted to human service. “Education'’ 'Although education Is primarily a responsibility of the states and local committees, and rightly so, yet the nation as a whole Is vitally concerned in its development every where to the highest standards and to complete universality. Self gov ernment can succeed only through *n instructed electorate. “Our ob.ieetive is not simply tc overcome illeracy. The nation ha.* marched far beyond that. The more complex the problems ot the nation become, the greater is the need for more and more advanced instruc tlon. Moreover, as our numbers in crease and as our life expands with j science and invention, we must dis i cover more and more leaders foi every walk of life We cannot hope to succeed in directing tuts increas ingly complex civilization unless we can draw all the talent of le&dershu i from the whole people.

The full opportunity for every boy and girl to rise through the selective processes of education can alone secure to us this leadership. Public Health "In public health the discoveries of science have opened a new era. Many sections of our country and many groups of our citizens suffer from diseases, the eradication of which are mere matters of admin istration and moderate expenditure. “Public health service should be as fully organized and as universal ly incorporated into our govern mental system as is public educa tion. The returns are a thousand fold in economic benefits, and in finitely more in reduction of suf fering and promotion of human happiness. World reace “The United States fully accepts the profound truth that our own progress; prosperity and peace are interlocked with the progress, pros perity and peace of all humanity. - The whole world is at peace. The dangers to a continuation of this peace today are largely the fear and suspicion which still haunt the world. No suspicion or fear can be rightly directed toward our coun try. “Those who have a true under standing of America know that we have no desire for territorial ex pansion, for economic or other domination of other peoples. Such purposes are repugnant to our ideals of human freedom. Our form of government Is ill adapted to the responsibilities which inevitably follow permanent limitation of the Independence of other peoples. “Superficial observers seem to find no destiny for our abounding increase in population, in wealth and power except that of imperial ism. They fail to see that the American people are engrossed in the building for themselves of a new economic system, a new social system, a new political system—all of which are characterized by as pirations of freedom of opportunity and thereby are the negation of imperialism. "X'ney lan to realize that because of our abounding prosperity our youth are pressing more and more into our institutions of learning; that our people are seeking a larg er vision through art, literature, science and travel; that they are moving toward stronger moral and spiritual life—that from these things our sympathies are broaden ing beyond the bounds of our na tion and race toward their true expression in a real brotherhood of man. Seek Peace Throughout World "They fail to see that the Ideal ism of America will lead It to no narrow or selfish channel, but in spire it to do its full share as a nation toward the advancement of civilization. It will do that not by mere declaration but by taking a practical part in supporting all use ful international undertakings. We not only desire peace with the world, but to see peace maintained throughout the world. We wish to advance the reign of Justice and reason toward the extinction of force. "The recent treaty for the re nunciation of war as an instrument of national policy, sets an advanced standard in our conception of the relations of nations. Its acceptance should pave the way to greater limitation of armament, the offer of which we sincerely extend to the world. "But its full realization also im plies a greater and greater perfec tion in the instrumentalities for pacific settlement of controversies between nations. In the creation and use of the instrumentalities we should support every sound method of conciliation, arbitration and Ju dicial settlement. American states men were among the first to pro pose and they have constantly urged upon the world, the estab lishment of a tribunal for the set tlement of controversies of a Justi fiable character. Lauds World Court "The permanent court of Inter national justice, in its major pur pose, is thus peculiarly identified with American Ideals and with American statesmanship. No more potent instrumentality for this pur pose has ever been conceived and no other 1s practicable of establish ment. The resections placed upon our adherence should not be misin terpreted The United States seeks, by these reservations, no special privilege or advantage but only to clarify our relation to advisory opin ions and other matters which are subsidiary to the major purpose of the Court. The way should, and I believe will, be found by which we may take our proper place In a movement so fundamental to the progress of peace. "Our people have determined that we should make no political en gagements such as membership in the League of Nations, which may commit us in advance as a nation to become involved in the settle ments of controversies between oth er countries. They adhere tc the be lief that the independence of Amer ica from such obligations increases Its ability and availability for ser vice in all fields of human progress. “I have lately returned from a journey among our sister republics of the Western hemisphere. I have received unbounded hospitality and courtesy as their expression of friendliness tc our country. We are held by particular bonds of sym pathy and common interest with them.

We wish only for the maintenance of their Inde pendence, the growth of their sta bility and their prosperity. Record Encouraging "While we have had wars in the Western hemisphere, yet on the whole the record is in encouraging contrast with that of the other parts of the world. Fortunately the new world is largely free from the in heritances of fear and distrust which have so troubled the old world. We should keep it so. "It is impossible, my country men, to speak of peace without profound emotion. In thou sands of homes in America, in millions of homes around the world, there are vacant chairs. It would be a shameful confes sion of our unworthiness if It should develop that he have abandoned the hope for which all these men died. Surely civi lization is old enough, surely mankind is mature enough so that we ought, in our own life time, to find a way to perma nent peace. "Abroad, to west and east, are nations whose sons mingled their blood with the blood of our sms on the battlefields. Most of these na tions have contributed to our race, to our culture, our knowledge and our progress. From one of them we derive our very language and from many of them much of the genius of our institutions. Their desire for peace is as deep and sincere as our own. "Peace can be contributed to by respect for our ability in defense. Peace can be promoted by the lim itation of arms and by the creation of the instrumentalities for peaceful settlement of controversies. But it will become a reality only through self-restraint and active effort m friendliness and helpfulness. I covet for this administration a record of having further contributed to ad vance the cause of peace. Party Responsibilities ' In our form of democracy the ex pression of the popular will can be effected only through the instru mentality of political parties. We maintain party government not to promote intolerant partisanship but because opportunity must be given for expression of the popular will, and organization provided for the execution of its mandates and for accountability of government to the people. “It follows that the government, both in the executive and the legis lative branches, must carry out in good faith the platforms upon which the party was entrusted with power. But the government Is that of the whole people; the party is the in strument through which policies are determined and men chosen to bring them into being. The animosi ties of elections should have no place in our government for gov ernment must concern itself alone with the common weal. “Special Session Congress’’ “Action upon some of the pro posals upon which the republi can party was returned to pow er, particularly further agricul tural relief and limited changes in the tariff, cannot, in justice to our farmers, our labor and our manufacturers be postponed. 1 shall therefore request a spe cial session of congress for the consideration of these two ques ttons. I shall deal with each of them upon the assembly of the congress. “Mandates from Election’’ "It appears to me that the more important further mandates from the recent election were the main tenance of the integrity of the con stitution; the vigorous enforcement of the laws; the continuance of economy in public expenditure; the continued regulation of business to prevent domination in the com munity: the denial of ownership or operation of business by the gov ernment in competition with its citizens; the avoidance of policies which would Involve us in the con troversies of foreign nations; the more effective reorganization of the departments of the federal govern ment; the expansion of public works and the promotion of welfare ac tivities affecting education and the home. These were the more tangible de tazainations of the elections, but beyond them was the confidence and belief of the people that we would not neglect the support of the embedded ideals and aspira tions of America. These ideals and aspirations are the touch-stones upon which the day to day admin istration and legislative acts of gov ernment must be tested. Should Lead Way “More than this, the government must, so far as lies within its prop er powers, give leadership to the realization of these ideals and to the fruticn of these aspirations. No one can adequately reduce thesj things of the spirit to phrases or to a catalogue of definitions. We do know what the attainments of these ideals should be: The preservation of s. If government and its full foun dations in local government; the , perfection of justice whether in I economic or in social fields; the I maintenance of ordered liberty; the i denial of domination by any group or class; the building up and pre nation of equality of opportun ity; the stimulation of initiative and individuality; absolute integrity in public affairs; the choice of offi cials for fitness to office; the direc tion of economic progress toward prosperity and the further lessen ing of poverty; the fredom of pub lic opinion; Hie sustaining of edu- ! cation and of tire advancement of | knowledge: the growth of religious spirit and the tolerance of all faiths; WHERE W AS LF LIFER?

Ours is a progressive people, but with a determination that progress must be based upon the foundation of ex perience. Ill-considered remedies for our faults bring only penalties af ter them. But if we hold the faith of the men In our mighty past who created these ideals we shall leave them heightened and strengthened for our children. "Conclusion" "This Is not the time and place frc extended discussion. The questions before our country axe problems of progress to higher standards; they are not the problems of degenera tion. ‘‘They demand thought and they serve to quicken the conscience and enlist our sense of responsibility for their settlement. And that respon sibility rests upon you, my country men,. as much as upon those of us who have been selected for office. “Ours is a land rich in resources, stimulating in its glorious beauty; filled with millions of happy homes; blessed with comfort and opportun ity. In no nation axe the fruits of accomplishments more secure. In no nation is the government more worthy of respect. No country is more loved by its people. I have an abiding faith in their capacity, in tegrity and high purpose. I have no fears for the future of our country It is bright with hope. “In the presence at my country men, mindful of the solemnity of this occasion, knowing what the task means and the responsibility which it involves, I beg your tolerance, your aid and co-operation. I ask the help of Almighty God in this ser vice to my country to which you have called me.” Wheaton Coed Once Lived as Harem Captive Wheaton, 111. (UP) —Orphaned by the Turkish massacre of 1916, kid naped by Arabs and adopted Into the household of a sheik of a no mad tribe, then in the hands of a Turkish harem keeper, next a pris oner of war, and, at last rescued and befriended by American mis sionaries; such is the life history of Miss Arousiag Stepanian, now a co ed at Wheaton college here. Her adventures read like an Arabian Nights’ tale. When she was eight years old her parents and three sisters were killed In a mas sacre of Armenians In Arabia, where they lived in exile. A wandering desert tribe picked her up half dead and she was adopted by the sheik of the tribe. For three and a half years she lived in a tent and roamed the desert on a camel’s back. As a sign of her acceptance into the tribe, she was tattooed on her forehead, cheeks and chin with the mark of her “Arabian father,” as she refers to him. When about 12 years old she es caped from her Arab home, was re captured and finally persuaded her sheik master to take her on a visit to Mesopotamia. This he did and she slipped away from him again. Hiding in a freight train at Jer Jub, the girl eluded the sheik’s searching party and “rode the rods” to Arada. where she was be friended by an Armenian, who was an officer in the Turkish army. For aiding her, the Armenian was exiled and she was thrown into a military prison. A professional "harem keeper” found her there and because of her good looks, pm chased her for his master, a wealthy Turkish business man. After having been given an in tensive course in the ethics of be ing a lady of the seraglio, Arousiag pried open the heavy screen which enclosed all the windows in the harem, made a rope of sheets and escaped once more. i ms time sne tied to the Ameri can mission and was befriended by Dr. Stephen Trowbridge, who was in charge. The name Stepanian is not her real name but the Turkish rendition of that of her benefactor. She was sent to the Congregation al missionary- school at Marash and was a student there during a battle between the Turks and French in which many of her teachers and classmates were killed. From there she went to the American Girls’ school in Constan tinople for three years. Dr. Trow bridge interested the Sunday School Times, a religious publication, in her plight, and funds were obtained to send her to America to continue her studies. She attended the Friends’ Select school in Philadelphia, a Quaker In stitution. for three years, and en tered Wheaton this fall. She is specializing in music and plans to return to Constantinople to teach at the end of her college course She plays the piano and violin and has a splendid contralto voice. * NOVEL GARNISH A pretty and a different gam is! for lamb chops or fried chicken i: made by slicing small oranges lr very thin whole shoes and placing an even thinner rim of pimento or top of them.

A hearing will be held at which the property and securities valued at about $125,000 will be turned over to the state. One set of the nine sets of claimants to the estate still has a case pending in the United States supreme court which is expected to be cleared in a short time. John O’Conner was virtually un known in Hastings where he started in the cobbling business in the early days. Though hundreds of thousands of words have been heard from the witness stand or read from depo sitions taken in all parts of Ameri ca, Ireland, and other foreign lands no one knows a bit more about the real John O’Conner than they knew at the time he died. They know that O’Conner was a cobbler, that he lived frugally in the back of his shoe shop on First street, that he prescribed heavy cow hide boots for the growing child • that he was of medium build, and that he had black hair and a long black mustache, and that he never talked about himself, his family if he had one, or the places he had seen before he came to Hastings in the early days. Departing, O’Conner left behind him two farms, some business prop erty. and a number of negotiable se curities of gold bond worth. The men who were intrusted with the estate have taken much care of it that the value has increased.
