IN WASHINGTON AGAIN.

Marshall is again in Washington!
This time he is a mere visitor but
most welcome one, and on all sides
he is being enthusiastically greeted.
He paid vi it to the White House
and had a long chat with President
Harding and later on the press boys
gave him a dinner. Mr. Marshall did
some talking to the pressg TeNesenta-
tiyes and he was sticking tdNhis old
time theme, "a speedy returH to the
constitution faith Of the fathers
Of the republic" His urging is time
ly: it is Of utmost Importance, espe-
cially in these days whalrInere is so
much Of unrest, so much of desire
manifested to get away from the solid
bedrock of government as prescribed
by the constitution underl which and
which the people of the United
States have become the free, the most
enlightened and the most prosperous
people in all the world.
Men. some men, pretend to believe
the fathers of this republic, men OF
courage and vision, men who were ac-
tuated by a desire to form more
perfect union, establish justice, insure
domestic tranquility, provide for the
common defense, promote the general
welfare and secure the blessings OF
liberty to ourselves and our posterl-
tvp quoting the words Of the pream-
bIe of the constitution which our fath
| erg so wisely drafted and made the
foundation of this government They
had Astounding and abundant faith IN

which the above words ere quoted

The, faith was and is justihed.

II is to return to that faith that form.
or vice President Marshall is urging
He may be classed as "old-fashioned
in his views, but better than tnou-
sond times to desert what is old in
constitutional government, that has
heen tested and found true, and turn
10 something new and untried, espe'
ciallv something that is not the result
Of wisdom, something that gives no
promise whatever of insuring justice
and tranquility, or G. promoting the
general welfare, all Of which were
the matters Of prayerful consideration
on the part of the fathers OF this re-
| public.
The cure-alls that are being offered
today, to replace the original Consul
tuition Of the Republic, will not an
swer. Mr.. Marshall. and otherwise
| patriotic citizens, recognize this. lie
and they also deplore the present
drifting away from the old but none
the less true principle Of government.
He urges "a speedy return to the son
stitution-the faith of the fathers.
That alone Is sufficient to keep this
government from falling into the pit
which its would-be destroyers are dig

sert that which has proved to be good
for something that can not and Is not.
All. no. Let not the American peo-
Pile be deceived. "The faith of. the
fathers Is the faith that all loyal. pa.
triotic American citizens need now
10 have and 10 hold, and all who have
to any degree lost that faith, let them
heed the urgement of the former vice
president and return with all haste
to the faith that the fathers possessed
and by whose wisdom we have been
guided successfully and with prospect
" and happiness all these years.

Thomas r. Marshall has the ear and
the heart Of all Washington!
He breaches a sound gospell
