Marshall Says
There Is Menace
Class Legislation

Hamilton. Ohio. June 5-Thomas
r. Marshall. former vice-president
of the United States declared there
is a menace of class legislation, in
a commencement address here to-
day.
Laws ought to be far removed
from the storm and tumult of poll
tical and economic life" he said.
THE old American order was an
order of representative government,
consisting of three branches, one to
make laws. one to interpret them
and one to execute them. 1t was an
effort to remove law making, law
prosecution and law-enforcing from
sudden burst Of anger and passion
that sways the minds and Judgment
of men.
1T is up to the American people
pretty soon to determine whether
they care to maintain this old fash
toned system of government which
preserved the life, liberty and prop
erty of its citizens whether they are
to plunge themselves into the ex-
pertinent of new democracy where
the shifting tides of the passion of
self interest or class interest vary
standards from day to day.
THE new idea of democracy in
evitably tends to legislation by
classes and once the classes have
obtained control of government.
then some one class will take charge
of affairs and that will be the end
ing of democracy. The tyranny of
class is just as inimical to the
rights of the people as the tyranny
of a single man sitting as the rep
resentative of an unlimited mon
archy.

Washington. June 5-President
Harding will make II addresses en-
route to the Pacific coast on his
Alaskan trip and will speak in five
coast cities after returning from
Alaska, according to an official an
nouncement of the executives itin-
erary made public late today at the
White House.
Final details of the itinerary with
respect to addresses we're worked
on today by the President in con-
ference with Walter f. Brown,
chairman of the commission on re-
organization of government depart
ments and an adviser of the eXecu-
tive.
The itinerary for the visit of the
presidential party to Alaska has
been only tentatively worked out as
the trip will largely be dependent
upon the Presidents desires on
reaching the territory and also upon
transportation facilities. The itin-
erary announced at the White
House, however. shows that the ex-
ecutive will spend about two weeks
in Alaska with about five days to
be consumed in the voyage from
Tacoma to the territory and the
same or somewhat less time for the
return trip to Vancouver.
Details of the return by way OF
the Panama Canal and Porto Rice
likewise remain in tentative state
although it has been announced
that the President would sail from
San Diego on the Shipping Board
steamer President Harrison. After
a brief stay in the Canal Zone the
party will continue on the President
Harrison to San Juan. where its
members will embark upon another
Shipping Board vessel. The Ameri-
can Legion. for New York.

various kinds were flying about
Berkeley Oval and by midnight
about 500 students, many Of them
clad in pajamas were taking part in
one Of the widest disturbances ever
staged at Yale. The occasion of the

sdphomores today. Three students
wtre arrested. A fire alarm was
sounded soon after the disturbance
started Apparatus was quickly
surrounded by students. Bottles and
p monograph records were included
in the weapons used, trolley poles
were pulled from overhead wires and
a lone policeman on duty in the vi
entity got out of range and sent in a
call for reserves. A bug!e call was
sounded by a student ard this SEEM
ed to be n signal for reinforcements
to the undergraduate ranks. The
parade of students that followed was
stopped by police several blocks
from the campus. A policeman fired
several shots in the air while pur-
suing student carrying traffic

In the small hours they were re-
leased on 500 bail each.

ments editorially on the disturb
ance saying it is bound to be fol-
lowed by remorse in various FORMS
1T is most sincerely hoped that
the citizens will feel no animosity
over the actions of a body of under
graduates carried away for the
moment by excitement says the
Daily News. AN apology is unques-
tionably due the city and the assur-
ance that the real Yale heartily
condemns demonstrations removed

surged forward resistlessly tearing
great swaths as they passed. Tower

Behind the big fellows came a far
