Standpatism and Socialism
Striving to Control Both
Democratic and Repub-

Favors Middle Course
Believes Administration Has
S'Show" if 1t Works to
Benefit All the People
Special Correspondence

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 26.--Vice- Prcsi-
dent Marshall, speaking here day at
luncheon in his honor at the Indiana
Democratic Club, declared that the
aisle in the Senate Chamber supposed
to separate the Democrats and the Re-
publicans is not true line Of separa-
tion in regard to what the various
Senators stand for.
There are turmoil and doubt on both
the Democratic and Republican sides,
he said. And on both sides two forces
are at work trying to control the
destinios of each party. AS far as he
was concerned, Mr.. Marshall said he
was favorable neither to the success
of the stand-patism represented by
Penrose on the Republican side Of the
Senate, nor to manifestations Of social
ism from some of the Democratic side.
Mr.. Marshall said that some per-
sons arc expressing the opinion that
the Democratic party has no chance in
the next campaign. In his opinion the
Democratic party will have q "show"
if il becomes the middle party which
shall "Cry a plague on both houses" I"
which are trying to control Legislation
to-day. This was in connection with
the point he had just made in disap-
proving both stand -patsm and So
cialism.
Men Calling for Rights
"All the present trouble and turmoil
is caused by men calling for their
rights" said the Vice PRESIDENT "Stop
calling or your rights and contemplate
your duty to God, your country and
your fellow men"
Referring to Jeffcrson's declaration
that all men are entitled to "life, lib
erty and the pursuit Of happiness" Mr..
Marshall said that the man who serves
his country is alive and that the man
who has refused to serve his country is
dead. "The men who fell on the field
of battle are not dead" he added. "They
are simply absent in the discharge of
duty. The man who refused to buy
Liberty bonds and to do his part in the
war is forever dead, even though he
moves and breathes."
In speaking Of mans right to liberty
the Nice-President said that the old
liberty was gone. The war has for
ever answered Gains inquiry, cam |
my brothers kecper?' he declared.
"The liberty of the future is to be the
liberty of GOOD fellowship among men.
The time has gone when men can do as
they please.
"Manllind is not entitled to happi-
ness, but merely to the pursuit of hap
piness.
Founded en- Golden Rule
"Thc basis on which this country is
founded is not the Constitution or the
Declaration of Independence, but the
Golden Rule, and I believe so per cent
of the people subscribe to the princi-
pie"
In opening his speech the Vice-Presi-
dent sal there are too many men who
are trying to carry the burden Of the
world on their shoulders.
ever since I saw the expression on
the face of man named Atlas, whose
picture was in my old geography, I
have been of the opinion that I would
never attempt to carry the world on
my shoulders" he said.
