one thing another rises 10 be done
an dthere must be a constant over

achievement What is the use Of hav-
ing democracy if the spirit OF de-
niocracy is not with the people.
''At this point the speaker told how
classes have grown up. Labor has
Its classes and all other people have
their classes, and one class feels
just little better than another class
and he reasoned that il the people
ever have a democracy they must re-
turn to the early-day principles upon
which this democracy was founded.
This country has been safe for
'snobocracy' and one maid won't speak
to another who does work considered
a little lower, and SO on through all
the avenues of the worlds activities" +"
tivities.
81 don't know anything of Republi-
can politics, but l do know OF Dem
ocratic politics. Politicians lay their
plans to catch votes, they would even
lay their hands upon the sacred Ark
of Rel. gion to try to catch the Cath
olic vote and the Protestant vote.
"This country is now getting ready
to spend hundreds of millions TO edu-
cate the foreign born and to teach
them the English language. English
is not such pretty language, the
Hoosier dialect Is superior to ii, at
least we from Indiana always think
80, but English is the language of
this country and 1t ought to be
spoken by every citizen and l have
Il plan to teach 1t without costing US
4 penny. Just deny the right of fran
chise to every man who does not
speak it. Not many years ago | saw
a man who voted for Taft because he
thought Mr. Taft was running for
president of the steel works at Gary.
Translation of language is trouble
some and dangerous. Even the lea
que of nations is now in row be-
cause they are disputing over the
translation Of language.
y"Class conscience in this country
has always been a fruitful source
Of trouble. II ought TO be struck
down. This country must be kept from
being submerged from bolshevism and
communism. We have no use for the
predatory rich on one side, and the
growing worker on the other. The
elimination Of classes in America is a
duty confronting us. The flag was
not made to float over classes, but
over every American citizen alike.
'As state you are l3 years old
and you have built a great univer-
sity. wonderful normal training schools
and useful newspapers, and you are
breaking down the old barriers be-
tween the trades and the profes
sions."
Here the vice president told a story
of a man in Indiana who was exert
ing great efforts to lower a drainage
tile because II did not meet specifi-
cations and he conferred the title
OF d. D. on this man. it was a title
1 Doctor Of bitches. At this point
the vice president spoke OF the
classss and brought home n useful
lesson He referred To the time when
every man tried TO educate his son
for the ministry, or the law or medi-
cine and he told his hearers that the
man who labors with his hands oc-
cupiss a position just as useful one
that Is entitled to the same respect
as the man in the professions.
This is an age when every body
gives the other fellow advice. The
fools are in office and the wise ones
on the outside. Every man on the
street knows just how the president
ought 10 carry on the affairs of the
nation.
"The need OF the world is 10 he
born again, We need regeneration We
must return to democracy and look
upon all men as being equal.
"The American doughboy won the
war" said the speaker. He won the
war because he broke the heart OF
the Germans" Here the vice presi-
dent told u story of coming In contact
with a captured officer OF the Ger
man army where he learned the feei-
ing of the Germans for the Ameri-
cans, and he concluded that the
spirit OF the American boys crushed
the spirit of the Germans
President Marshall referred in the
tenderest terms to the spirit Of Chris
tianity and to the loss OF his adopted
son, and added the finest OF feeling
to his address.
He touched the heart OF every
person who heard him. His sentences
were full OF wisdom. He made men
think. The democracy OF the man was
pleasing. His public career as gov
ernor of Indiana and as vice president
OF the United States for two terms
has placed him in q position where he
has had wonderful opportunity 10
learn and this learning he gives out
10 the people In a simpiiied' demo-
cratic way.
While his presence was CONNER
cialized In a small way, a. he came
under the auspices OF charity or
ganization. yet he was welcomed as
n great American, which he 49,
