Impressive silence while the new
president of the United States and

dent, flrs.t to Ambassador Jusserand,
of France, dean of the diplomatic
corps. Secretary Bryan was pre
sented with similar ceremony. To
each diplomat the president spoke a
word of greeting, but the ceremony
throughout was quietly formal. Af
ter the president had met individu
ally tho circle of diplomats, he ad
dressed them briefly, expressing the
hope for the continuance of amicable
relations between this nation and
their respective countries and in
dulging the wish that their service
in Washington might bo personally

to strengthen tho relations between
the United States and other members
of the great family of nations, and
spoke in an optimistic way of the
possibility of accomplishing that re
sult through the application of the
principles of justice and equity in
international dealings. Ambassador
Jusserand, the dean of the corps, re
plied in a responsive strain and then
personally presented the members of
the diplomatic body to the new sec
retary of state. They were particu
larly impressed by Mr. Bryan's
earnest appeal to them to call upon
him personally and without restraint
whenever they felt that the relations
between their government and th
United Spates demanded speedy con
sideration and action.

retary Bryan, Brazilian Ambassador

with a noble heart who for so many
years has been preaching the advent
of social justice, of respect to tho
rights of individuals, of reciprocity
and good will among men. Secre
tary Bryan referred to his trips to
Latin-America, and said that when
his present office was offered to him
one of the reasons he gave as willing
to accept it was that it would enable

GOVERNOR ItALSTON'S RECOM
MENDATIONS
In his Inaugural address, Gover
nor Ralston, of Indiana said:
Indifferently, indeed, has ho lived
who does not understand that the
people know their government Is slip
ping away from them and that they
are pleading for honest public ser
vants.
I shall hold that tho mind which
devises schemes that is in violation
of law is guiltier than tho dependent
hands that execute tho offense in
obedience to orders.
While I was nominated for gover
nor as a party man and elected as
such, and am with pride, still a
democrat without apology, I do not
fail to recognize In the hour of
triumph that tho noise and preju
dice of a campaign have been suc
ceeded by the calm so essential to
good neighborhood and tho public
welfare.
Property rights are shielded by
constitutional guarantee and must be
respected.
It may bo appropriately observed
that tho loudest denunciation does
not necessarily indicate the surest
way to tho reform tho people want,
and that catch phrases often lead in
tho opposite direction to real pro-
gress.
. Tho average American citizen
standi for tho obedience to law.
I shall conscientiously strive to
confine my official acts to the execu
tive sphere prescribed by the con
stitution, and steadfastly refrain
from attempting to coercive methods
respecting tho other branch' j of
government.
By my official conduct con
fidence in mo will either bo strength
ened or destroyed. I intend it shall
be strengthened.
I assume that the democratic ma
jority of the present legislature will
abide by and promptly proceed to
carry out the last platform declara
tions made by its party in this state.
This will include an efficient pri
mary election law and a general re
vision of the road laws.
Not to carry out this platform
would be a betrayal of the people's
confidence.
The people want a new
