OLD ORDER OF EDUCATION
CHANGED, SAYS MARSHALL
Vice President Addresses Graduates
Of Wabash College at Craw-
fordsville, Ind.

CRAWFORDSvILLE. Ind, June IT,
This is the young mans age, declared
Vice President Marshall in his address
here today at the commencement exer-
cises Of Wabash College. "The old man is
being showed off the stage everywhere.
Failing physical vision is assumed to
mark a like dimness Of intellectual sight
Scientific truth is not sufficient to estab-
lish the leadership of youth. This leader
ship must be established by an openness
of mind, by waving the ancient preroga-
tive of being right without information
'The old order Of education has
changed said the Vice President in con-
clusion. 'It furnished a philosophy and
taught men that happiness was not In his
material surrounding-in position or pow
er-but in his own purpose and conduct
The humanities have been forgotten in
the rush for success. Our institutions OF
higher learning may not be expected to
furnish a philosophic view of life. but
they can be expected to instill into the
minds of young men Intellectual courage
1 am visionary enough to believe that in
tellectual courage combined with hon
esty will solve whatever social and eco
nomic problem may arise"

Kentuckian Urged for Coroner
by Senator James and Rep
reSentative Rouse.
INFLUENCE OF PRESIDENT
is ASKED IN HIS Behalf
Montana Mining Troubles Discussed
at the White House-Peace
Believed in Sight.

kentuckians were satisfied today
that the next coroner of the District of
Columbia will be from that state. and
that his name will be Dr. c. N. Chip
man Of this city.
The confidence arises from the fact
that Senator Ollie James, a power at
the White House, and Representative
Rouse of Kentucky called on President
Wilson and Secretary Tumulty today
and asked the President to use his
influence with the Commissioners to
have DR.. Chapman named as coroner in
place of ]. Ramsey Nevitt, who has
held the Office fourteen years. and
whose politics have not been of the
democratic faith. The belief prevailed
today that the Influence of the Pres
ident at the District building will be
sufficient to have DR.. Chapman, who has
resided in the District some years, ap-
pointed to the position.
The position of coroner of the District
pays Sl,SOO year and at times keeps
the occupant Of the office fairly busy.
Montana Mining Troubles.
Senator Meyer and Representative
Evans of Montana called on President
Wilson today to tell him that the i'm
pending conflict in that state between the
men of the Western Federation Of Miners
and those belonging to the 1. W. w. does
not appear to be as imminent as it has
looked for some time, and that If q mass
meeting :, be held in Butte tonight passes
without bloQdshed and disorder the state
and county authorities may be able to
handle the situation without the aid of
federal troops.
The White House continued to be san
guine that Congress will adjourn by the
end Of July and Secretary Tumulty was
willing, in his morning talks with corre-
spondents today, to fit out some of the
correspondents with new hats If his pre-
diction as to end-of-July adjournment
fails to come true.
Business Indorses Presidents View.
AS one result of President Wilson's
denunciation of what he characterized
as a deliberate campaign to spread
abroad the idea that business is In the
doldrums. the White House has begun
to receive letters from manufacturers
and others throughout thes country taxi
