The more l read the speeches of
Vice President Marshall, the more
fervently join in every prayer for
the preservation of the health of
President Wilson.
Marshall has a smooth-running
tongue, pfvoted in the middle, and
vibrating rapidly at both ends.
He has an absent-minded habit of
setting his organs of speech in mo-
ton, and going away and leaving
them. The result is that most of the
time the Vice Presidents speech is
several laps ahead of his brains.
When he discusses such matters as
confiscation of estates at the death
of their owners, the necessity of the
church resuming functions it has
abandoned" to the state-whateve
that means and his prospective
joining of the Socialist party, when
it shall have become socialism of
