YOUTH REPLACES
THE men OF AGE
VICE PRESIDENT MARSHALL
TELLS GRADUATES THAT
YOUNG MANS DAY is AT
HAND.

Charlottesville, Ind. June 17.-"This
is the young mans age" declared Vice
President Thomas R. Marshall in his
address here today at the commence
ment exercises of Wabash college.
THE old man is being showed off the
stage everywhere. Failing physical
vision is assumed to mark like dim
ness of intellectual sight. Scientific
truth Is not sufficient to establish the
leadership Of youth. This leadership
must be established by an openness
of mind by waving the ancient pre-
rogative of being right without infor-
nation.
"The old order of education has
changed iaid the vice president in
conclusion. "It furnished philosophy
and taught men that happiness was
not in his material surrounding, in po.
sition and power, but in his own pur-
pose and conduct.
"The humanities have been forgot
ten in the rush for success. Our insti-
tutions of higher learning may not be
expected to furnish a philosophic view
of life. but they can be expected to in
still into the minds of young men in
tellectual courage. am visionary
enough to believe that intellectual
courage combined with honesty will
solve whatever social and economic
problems may arise"

weeks as their gcal senate democrat
ic leaders were today expected to
continue their speed up work on the

position to take up the antitrust
bills.
Only three Of the appropriation bills
now remain to be passed They are
the Indian, the sundry civil and the
rivers and harbors bills. The senate
yesterday passed the diplomatic and
pension appropriation bills and took
up the Indian bill. Consideration OF
the latter measure was expected to be
continued today. There is general
anxiety in congress for adjournment

to return home and enter actively in.
