How to Be Vice-President
By Ralph Block

before he leans back and crosses one leg
high over the knee of the other and sends
his attention toward the speaker.
Senator Smoot, of Utah, and Senator
Ransdell, of Louisiana, are quarreling over
the rivers and harbors bill, but the Vice
President, calm and little a1oof from the
dust of the arena, remains impassive, save
for quiet scrutiny of the galleries as an
assurance against levity. His face is small,
even thin. About his solemnty there is a
hint of the naive and of deep simplicity.
He maintains his patience in the little
scene before him until the temperature of
speech on the floor reaches climatic point
Senator Gallinger is on his feet resenting
with vehemence the implication Of Senator
Ransdell that Senator Smoot is slanderous
in his speech.
The gavel taps lightly and deicately on
the desk. The Vice-President speaks His
voice has Hoosier drawl that is not with
out acid.
"The Chair thinks it is about time to en-
force the rule of two speeches in q day
We will never get through. The Chair has
been here five years and nobody has ever
been converted since he has been here"
The bell rings and Senator's flock in for
their rollcal
The method is interesting. 1t is not
entirely credible that Theodore Roosevelt
also sat in this chair once and used this
some light ivory gavel. The Speaker Of
the House thunders and attacks his desk
savagely with a malIet when he wants
order. But the Senate has its own idea
of discipline
He was a Governor once, Mr.. Marshall,
of great and powerful state. He believed
in all kinds of interesting doctrine, had
storehouse filled with the fragments Of
craftsmanship. He was for the referen.
dunn, but against the recall; he believed in
states rights, individualism, strongly sus
pected Socialism, and in time of impend
ing Capitalization of government seemed
to hang on grimly to enforced limitations
OF democracy ne was iona OF the simple
division of humanity into two classes-th.
rich and the poor, probably not recogniz-
ing it as orthodox Marxianism. He h.d
ideas about the limitation of inheritance..
But this was long time ago, as time
goes. Mr.. Marshall may have all th.s.
ideas still, but the world will not know i
Not so long as he remains resigned to the
silences of the vice-Presidency.

School Teachers Feel the Pinch

The largest group of state or con,mu-
nifty employees in the country is that of
the school teachers. It is now nearly
100000 strong. The teachers are charged
with as important a function, certainly,
as any; and this Importance does not
diminish by the intrusion of perhaps sew
eral years of war conditions.
Their pay is notorously low. These
100000 employees with stationary in
comes feel more severely than perhaps
any others the heavy increase in the cost
OF living. They are beginning to realize,
acutely, what 55-cent or 60-cent dollar
means. They cannot strike. All over
the nation they are now asking for an in
crease of salary. 1t is justified. None
deserves it more
New-York tribune., 1918-05-24

Let us boast, if we must, but softly.
Representative Charles Pope Caldwell, in
moment of rhetorical excitement, said:
America has raised and equipped big
ger army in shorter time and now holds
greater section of the fighting front,
transporting her troops 5000 miles
across an infested sea in ten months,
than England was capable of doing in
twelve months across the English Chan
mel of less than thirty miles," Even if
literally true, it would be nothing on
which to base disparaging comparisons.
The population Of Great Britain is 49,
100000; ours is more than 10O,O00,O 600.
Half of our army is still going in British
ships. 1t was England that made the
Channel safe for us to cross.

States; also, discerning man;
therefore he has discovered that very little
is expected of Vice President. He has
become quiet, even "a demure, man, who
keeps union hours at the Senate, runs his
side of the show with the minimum of
noise, takes his comforts gracefully and
looks with wisdom and tolerance upon the
spectacle.
Nobody is paging Mr.. Marshall just
now," remarks a member of the left wing
of Democracy at Washington, adding with
genial generosity, although once in while
they let him come up and get cigar"
Some of this is due to the Constitution.
The Constitution was very sparing about
the Vice-Presidency. 1t made the incum-
bent of the Office depend always upon the
things done by other men. He can listen
to other men talk; he can count other mems
votes; he can pronounce judgment on other
mems measures. Beyond that much silence
is expected of him.
Thomas R. Marshall wasn't always a
quiet man. Men from Indiana rarely are.
In fact, the chief quality that marked him
before he came to Washington and in the
early cpochs of his term was fondness
for rhetoric and an aptitude that equalled
his desire. There can be no doubt that in
the hierarchy of the Jeffersonian Democ-
racy at the capital rhetorical facility and
felicity are distinguishing characteristics.
There is an unhappy r1mor that the Vice
Presidents indulgence of his gift has been
curtailed. Whatever the implication. the
facts point out the result unsparinrlv.
Most of the talking being done by the Vice
President is limited to speeches for the
Red Cross and saying mild things in sar-
donic tone to Senators who forget why
they came to Washington. When il ia.
considered how often the heat of argument
can make even Senator forget, it must be
granted that this is no small contribution
to the national cause.
There are two kinds of biographies. In
the case of Mr. Marshall his own leaves
the impression that he was born in Indiana.
educated in Indiana and entirely fashioned
by Indiana for the Vice Presidency. He
leaves 1t to some more meticulous recorder
to write that he smokes large, dark and
redolent cigars, is fond of children and is
particular about his lunch hour.
He appears through small door near
the front of the Senate chamber at the
very minute that the hand of the clock
above his chair rests at 2:3o o'clock. Hs
Is small man, dressed in smooth ma
terlal of light gray that matches the al
most sllken grayness of his hair. His eyes
are intrenched behind impressive horn
glasses. He awaits the retirement of the
temporary president, then seats himself,
comfortably, even luxuriating little lin
the ease of his swinging chair. He yawns
little, doubtless, as the unending argument
on the floor again strikes his ears. He
cannot refrain from o second indulgence

IS \ ND as to tho Hearst papers,
n Mr.. Burleson may say that
they have been very careful,
since we got into the war, not to
break any law. Before VS. get into the
war they were very actively anti-war
and anti-English. They were strong
for military preparation for defence Of
tho United States, especially against
Japan, in whom Mr.. Hearst sees, or
affects to see, a dangerous enemy.
They were also for moro aggressive
proceedings in Mexico.
"But since we got into the war
Mr.. Hearst has seemed to be heartily
and very carefully for Hearst and the
Hearst papers, and so long as the pros
perity of those publications and
their proprietor requires him to sup
port the war no doubt he will support
the war, after a fashion, and throw
in as much support Of the Adminstra-
tion as it seems profitable to him to
afford. So long as he does not violate the 4
law, Mr.. Burleson cannot suppress him.
and so long as attacks on the govern
ment do not appear in his papers Mr..
Creel can hardly come to the rescue
with replies.
"If Mr.. Hearst should permit his
before-the-war sentiments to get the
better of him and should get into
trouble with the law and Mr. Burlc-
son, there are those, and not a few,
who would bear it with cquanimity.
But the chances are that Mr.. Hearst's
opinions will not get him into any
trouble with the law. His discretion
and his indiscretion are we'll practised.
and seem nowadays to be operated for
him by careful hands that know the
law from day to day and how not to
trip on it,"

war the Hearst papers have printed:

the intimation that Southern Congress
men will object on the ground that it
would interfere with the sale of the
South's own crop at the very high
prices now prevailing. This is not, as
it seems, symptom of conscious Sec
tional selfshness or unpatriotism. It
is an illustration of what happens to
people who live by one crop. They are
governed by habit of fear.
