It is not often possible to place that shrewd

But his tongue slipped this time. He urges
parents not to train their boys for the vice
presidency. Dead wrong! II American par

Through all the tension of late war and

throne. He was everlastingly Tom Marshall.
ready cheerfully to "sit in" at cabinet meets
ing or crack a. wise joke with the boys. and
equally willing to efface himself from the
grand frontispiece of the national history
which is the White house.
He has given out. from time to time, many
a shrewd, blunt word. none the less forceful
for its dry humor. He knows he's only vice
president, and II ever there was a man in that
subdued office who gave the impression of be-
ing completely happy there. that man is
Marshall.
Whether the vice presidency made him that
way, or whether he was. as the public is In
clined to think. a big enough man to yield to
its limitations with good grace, doesn't matter.
The country can stand more Tom Marshalls.
