The growth in the activities and scope of our government entails a legislative message of such length as to en­ croach op the proprieties of this sol­ emn occasion, and work a distinct In­ convenience and discomfort to the or­ ganizations and individuals, who in patriotic fervor, desire to participate in the arrangements that are to fol­ low, Every impulse of my nature re­ sponds to the highest sense of obliga­ tion for the honor now conferred, in compliance with the suffrage ex­ pression of the electors, aixd yet, an appreclntioix of • the responsibilities which go with it, reminds ns of human .limitations, and inspires the hope that our endeavors along the lines of jus­ tice and. honesty, in the vision of the Ruler of all governments, will- gain the benediction of Ills favor ,and as-, sistariee. • While, the executive station is one of generally accepted distinction, to me- It does not ’bespeak’ elevation above my fellows. The .relation of private' citizenship establishes ■ an equal base, but when one assumes the duties incumbent upon this office, a proper conception of the situation makes him the' servant of the people,, and unless he responds jo full appre­ ciation of the superior rights and pow­ ers of those he, agrees to B'erve, he begins either with false vision, or with a species ot treason in his heart. •There is much in the theory of the ancients that nothing makes stronger appeal -to the Almighty than the con­ gregation of people under peaceful auspices for the purpose of refining government to the needs and advance­ ment of the race. If that were a spec­ tacle of 'such omen In olden days then this day holds every potent for good, because •every community is repre­ sented in the festivities of the occa­ sion and witt1011*1/regard to class or creed, they exhibit their attachment to qur institutions of government Ohio Is a wonderful state and rich in ihe traditions that inspire a proud, citizenship.

Wo are entering upon a new day. The evolutions and .processes of time are: working great advances in every activity of man. The forces of human intelligence have carried us to- a point of higher moral vision, and U would have been a-distinct anomaly- of history if government had not been carried on In the progress of the time, It requires considerable faith in .the righteousness of a cause to turn face from the old or-’er of things mindful that in the plans and policies of gov­ ernment about to be adopted are in­ volved the hope an.d aspirations, the happiness and general welfare of five million human souls. I sense therefore the sublime re* eponsiblUty of this hour! But history tells ub that while we can profit immeasurably by the experi­ ence’ of the -past, every government that has endured, kept Its face to­ ward the sunrise and not the sunset of civilization. We must feed on the vitality of growth; not on the decay of decline. Wo reverence the works of our fathers, and seek to prove our­ selves the worthy sons of worthy sires, by making as great development In Our time os they ipade In theirs. Our* Is not the creed of the cynic, looking with 'scorn upon the institutions of yesterday. Civilization la simply a re­ lay race, and unless we take It tin with the freshness of spirit with which our fathers began It, the generation is in a condition of certain decay. Mis­ takes will be made because govern* n ent is the creature of nitm, But* it civilization from its beginning had fal­ lowed the course of least resistance and tiot approached uncertainty. With experimentation, this old world of ours would present a far different aspect An advanced civilization does not refine government from caprice, but from necessity. The savage needs no government, because the interdepend­ ence of human units Is hot a charac­ teristic of his existence. As a race progresses dependence oh each other increases, and the ■meaning of exact justice to ail is understood and the enforcement of that principle in gov-, eminent is demanded. - The genius of man has invented no system better fitted to work a greater national destiny than the even bal­ anced relation of our federal and state government, Iti otir commonwealth there is noW A marked tendency to­ ward a large measure of home rulo for municipalities, and an increased opportunity in their community af­ fairs, At the same time there is ex­ acted An increased police power from the state in the projects of general human welfare that can only wi kept uniform in their beneficence by opera­ tion of the state unit Experience has demonstrated the soundness of the theory. In practice It brings added re­ sponsibility with reference to matters of Closer contact, and as Wo stimulate interest in the plain duty of Citizen* ship, we are, by improved community life, building a stale structure of great­ er strength and usefulness.
