of the main features of the inau.uura

augural ceremony nad been designed toj
De a more imposing and cr > stly function
than any of its predecessors , but the
weather marred the magnificence of the
affair and bedraggled the expensive
2eco rations.
A wet , clinging snow , driven before
a stinging northwest wind , fell through
out the night and wrought havoc with
telephone and telegraph wires , com
pletely cutting off the capital city from o
communication with the remainder of
the country for many hours. Snow a
and slush filled the streets to the depth \
of a fool or more in places. CM
For several hours during the morning 0
Washington was out of communication 0p

vice President Fairbanks , presiding
nflicer of the Senate , administered to
Mr. Sherman the brief oath of ollice
prescribed by tlie constitution and
turned over to him the presiding otH-
i-er's gavel. Vice President Sherman
made but a brief inaugural address and
then rapped the chamber to order for
lie further business of inaugurating
Ihe new President of the United States.
Mr. Taft's induction into ofiice was
Ihe same simple ceremony devised in
Ihe early days. He swore to uphold
ind defend the constitution , to enforce
laws , and to protect the republic
ig.-iinst all enemies , both foreign and
li.mestic. The oath was administerej

iaiifg at such a ceremony for the last

The new President reviewed the pa

AVill tiuxKtxit Cliuiixe * .
I hope to be able to submit , at the first
regular session of the incoming Congress ,
in December next , definite suggestions in
respect to tlie needed amendments to
the anti-trust and the interstate com
merce law. and the changes required in
the executive departments concerned in
their enforcement.
A r .ii.r of most pressing importance
is tin rev -ion of the tariff. In arroi'd-
- n.e'l. . .ae promises of the platform
.ij on Ii5' . . ' was elected. I shall call
Congress into extra session , to meet on
tiie l.'th ( . - jf March , in order that con-

tory , protection by tariff equal to the dif
ference between the cost of production
abroad and the cost of production here
and have a provision which shall put in
to force , upon executive determination of
certain facts , a higher or maximum tariff
against those countries whose trade pol
icy toward us equitably requires such dis
crimination.
Basincvs IVow A H'etrtcd.
The proposal to revise the tariff made
in such an authoritative way as to lead
the business community to count upon it ,
halts all those branches of business di a
rectly affected , and as these are most im
portant , it disturbs the whole business
of the country. It is imperatively nec
essary , therefore , that a tariff bill be
drawn in good faith in accordance with
promises made before the election by the
party in power , and as promptly passed
as duo consideration will permit. It is
not that the tariff is more important in
th < - long run than the perfecting of the
reforms in to anti-trust
respect - legisla
tion and interstate commerce regulation ,
but ' the need for action when the revision ol
Df the tariff has been determined upon ,
is more immediate to avoid embarrass
ment of business.

mucit attention to the cause of labor , wita
whose struggle for better thingsIn - hag
shown the sincerest sympathy. At b' < in
stance. f'ongros * has passed tbe liil ; lixin
liability of interstate farriers to their
employes for injury sustained in the co-irse
employment , abolishing the rule of fel.
Iow--ervaut and the common iaw rule as ta
contributory negligence , and substit itin ;
therefor the so-called rule of compar-iiv :
negligence. It has also passed a law iixing
compensation of government employes.
injuries sustained in the employ of rb
government through the negligence of the
superior , ft also passed a model child labor
for the District of Columbia. In pre
administrations j n arbitration law for
interstate ( onirnerce raiir > ads and their omr
. . and lav.-s for tbe application of safe
"device to save tbe lives and limbs of'
employes of interstate railroads had boon
passed. Additional legislation of this kind
parsed by the outgoing Congress I
to say that in so far as I can. I bopa
promote the enactment of further legis
of this character.
Another labor question has arisen which
.iwakeaed the most ox.-ied discu--ion.
is in respect to the power of tie Fed-
courts to is.suw iniunctions in indii-
disputes. A to tlint. my convit'oa ' ?
fixed. Take away from courts , if It
bo. taken away , the power to i.---io : in

a privileged clas-- among the ! ab r's
save the lawless among their namhr-r
a mo-t needful rome-ly available to all
for the protection of their h-u-io'-ss
asain-st lawless invasion. The propo-jtioa
business is not a property or pe < i it.-y : :
which can be protected by oq ri.ir.Ia
injunction is utterly without foundation irx
precedent or reason. The proposition la.
usually linked with one to make the sec-
' boycott lawful. Such a proposition
at 'variance with the American instinct
will lind no support in my judgment
submitted to the American people.
secondary boycott is an instrument of
tyranny , and ought not to be made legitl--
.
XtMv Statute deeded.
The i. suing of a temporary restraining
without notice has in several in-
been abused by its Inconsiderate
exercise , and to remedy this , the platform
which I was elected recommends th
formulation in a statute of the condition *
which s.uch a temporary restraining
ought to issue. A statute can and
to be framed to embody the best
practice , and can bring the sub
NO closely to the attention of the court.
