Made by Marshall
Before Graduates
Urging his auditors to follow the spirit
shown by the Nazarene and the founders
and the patriots of this country, wee
President Marshall in an address at the
graduation exercises of the Central H1gh
School, held at the u. a. Il. Memorial
Continental Hall yesterday afternoon,
declared that if they would do that
even better days awaited the repuohc
of America than it had had In the past.
these young men and young women
have not been going to school so they
could come out and make a career,
declared the Vice President. Ihey
could have come out five or six years
ago and still have done that. Any
body who will stifie his conscience, who
will kick his neighbors over, who WILL
ride rough shod over the Tisnts OF
others. can make a career. Ihel, Gus ad
women for the republic-that rs more
dificult thing than making careers"
America Setting Pace.
Declaring it as his belief that in two
centuries the entire world will be
democracy. Mr.. Marshall asserted that
The age is coming-in fact, Is here
now-when democracy spells Christi,
anity and a square deal for every body.
America. he said. was setting the pace
for the rest Of the world.
Speaking in the same tenor the Vice
President said: 1T is not what man
does in this world or what man
makes. or what a man has. 1t Is what
God intended us to be brothers; not
half brothers. not step-brothers' out
full brothers"
Abraham Lincoln was pointed out BY
the speaker as "the typical Amerlcan-
the man who knew his own rights ana
recognized the rights of others.
The man who In the right spirit
digs bitches is as splendid an exam
pie of American citizen as the Presi-
dent of the United States" asserted Mr..
Marshall at another point of hts ad-
dress. 1T is true that this Is the land
of opportunity, but not the land of OPP
porunity for trickery and knaVery. Ii
is the land of opportunity for the man
who is willing TO put to good use the
natural talents and benefits that are
his"
Enthusiasm the Key.
Enthusiasm was the faculty by which
anything could be done, the speaker
believed
IF these young people go out into the
battle of life with enthusiasm they can
do anything they set about to accom-
plish," said Mr.. Marshall. we are no
wiser from the intellectual standpoint
than the Greek. His enthusiasm. how
ever. was for art and beauty. Rome's
enthusiasm was for power and conquest.
The enthusiasm of the English was for
law and order. Three things make up
American enthusiasm-the three things
named by Thomas Jefferson-life. liberty
and the pursuit of happiness"
