How for 5 Minutes Tom Marshall
Thought He Was President of U. S.
j Hy .JOSKIUU'S UJI:LS.
'. (Kecietury of the Navy In W.Imoh
cabinet.)
,; "Now nee hero, liacon," drawled
Ylvt'-l'reridtMit Marshall In his Inlm-
' liable way, "the people of the l.'nlted
' States elected me Vice-President wllh-
out ever BeinK me or that chair. I
expect in the next four years to huve
to Bit in the penate chamber and listen
to many Ioi.k winded Hpeechen which

lie held his unllghted cigar, as hl
i eyes twinkled merrily, not In keeping
I with the serious manner and words.
I The time of that characteristic re-
mark was early In March. 1913, a few
j days after Thomas It. Marshall had
f been Inducted Into office. The place
- was the vice president's room in the
! Capitol. The dramatis personnnre were
Vice President Marshnll and Senator
Augustus o. Paeon of eGorglu, who
was chairman of the committee on
; rules, and. therefore In charge of the
order nml furnishings and traditions
of the cenate chamber. If there ever
. was a stickler for tradition, precedent,
regularity, decorum, dignity, and all
the nther things he regarded requisite
to tlu highest legislative body, the
name of that stickler was A. O. Ita
roii. lie looked the part of a senator,
A Roman toga on his shoulder would
fit him to a "t." Ho was tall, with the
weight of averdupols and stntclincHs
of carriage. Tie was, moreover, one of
' tin ablest lawyers In the senate. Ills
devotion to form and tradition were
equalled only by his honesty and sin
eerily. If you were disposed to smile
at the fetich he made of senatorial
precedent you were checked when you
realized his equal devotion to integrity
which becomes a senator. .
The Kergrniif at Arms Jtchukcd
"Where is the vice president's
chair?" asked Senator Itacon, ns, with
veneration even for jtho furniture In
the senato chamber, ho entered the
chamber fine afternoon on March af
ter adjournment. His engle eye; rest
ing upon the elevation where the pre
siding officer sits, saw something was
wrong. He could have detected the
absence of a lead pencil. It troubled
him for a second, and then, in the
place of the beautiful and gilded und
dignified chair that had held the place
on honor on the elevation for moro
than a century, his eyes rested upon a
little "dinky chair," as ho called It. Ho
regarded the presence of such an In
significant chair In that lofty place as
nn Indignity to the senate. His wrath
arose nt the sight.
Senator Itacon sent for the sergeant
at arms of the senate and demanded:
"liy what authority was the vice
president's chair moved from Us placo
nml that little 'dinky little thing' put
in Its place "
That officer saw indignntlon and re-

buke, perhaps a loss of his office, In
the dark cloud of disapproval on the
face of his superior. He hastened to
prove an nllbl for himself.
"I removed it. sir," he said, "by di
rection (lhe vice president."
And it was thnt which carried Sen
ator Bacon In post haste to the vice
president's office, and to hear the
quaint and original answer of Mr.
Marshall.
This incident Is illustrative of the
spirit that characterized the late vice
president. Krom his youth he had
never been physically strong, and yet
in all the years he rose superior to
everything that stood In his way. His
playful nature, his fine spirit of mak
ing light of trouble, his way of laugh
ing at the frailties of himself nnd fel
lows, and freedom from taking him
self too seriously won him regard and
admiration of all who knew him In the
flesh, and many thousands also knew
him only by his piquant humor and
cheerful philosophy.
Thought Ho Was President
Otic night during the critical Illness
of President Wilson, Vice' President
Marshall was at a great gathering in
Atlanta, ready to speak. Just as he
win to be Introduced a gentleman
walked hastily on the stage and whis
pering to htm. said: "A message Jias
Just been received taht President Wil
son died five minutes ago." He could
not doubt the truth of the Informa
tion. How did it affect him?. What
did he do? He directed that a song,
a familiar religious hymn (it was Sun
day night) be sung, and, with his wife.
quietly left the hull during the singing.
(t was a solemn moment In his life.
Speaking of the moment when he
thought ho was to be president, ho
said: "There was no sense of elation,
but rather the contrary. I was stun
ned, first by grief for my dead chief
tain, and second by the awful respon
sibility that would fall upon me. I was
resolved to do my duty, but I can truly
nay I dread the great task." ,
When the message came that the
meKPage was Incorrect, did It disap
point Mr. Marshall? "I felt mingled
the greatest gladness and sense of re
lief that ever came to me" was the way
he expressed his feeling.
Sonic Tried to Oust Wilson
People In the country generally did
not know the feeling In Washington
during the days that President Wilson
lay 111, hovering between life and
death. For weeks he was unable to
attend to public business. Would hef
live? Thnt was the question on every
tongue. In the nbsence of definite;
statement ns to the nature of his lll-l
ness. al) sorts of gossip circulated,
Some sensational long distance diagno-
stlticlans seriously stated ' that Mrj
Wilson wan unable to discharge the du
ties of chief executive "Inability to
discharge the duties of said office";
to quote Article 2 of the Constitution,!
and that ' Vice President Marshall
should assume tho duties In accord-
ance with the successsion prescribed in value -for his services arrived at and
the Constitution. This sentiment waa',m(1 nilhont question, leaving every
not confined to the senate. Even a m.iv satisfied. The old Idea that two
member of the cabinet felt that sonita
step must be taken and sought the ad
vice of the president s physician. When
it was stated that the president was
improving, no effort was made to de
pose Wilson for Inability. But there
were senators, who did not like Mr.
Wilson, who were determined to oust
him. Chief among them were Sena
tor Fall, of Teapot oil notoriety. Ho
and others of like mind could not be
content until two senators wero directs
ed to go' to tho White House In person
(a scandalous performance) to make
a personal diagnosis, under the pre- flUU,,.0i Any merchant who deals In
tense of discussing with Mr. Wilson the merchnndlst of anv character is entl

when they saw Wilson was Improving I ontlttlotl to be paid for his knowledge;
and had more sense In a day than Fall for nis iHi,or: tv his financial risk;

farious program of ouster was aban
doned. The Crucial Tost
Tn this painful week the position
of Mr. Marshall was one that tested
the man in him ns nothing else could
have done. If he had said tho word,
or said nothing, a resolution Would
have been introduced In congress de

Such an effort would have stirred up
the bitterest resentment and have put

country. 11 wouiu nave nau a serious

But the bitterness It would have eni
tailed would have been the most se

the contemplated action, put his foot
down on tne proposition, lie would
have none of It. He sincerely hoped
Mr. Wilson would survive. Aa long ns

In lighter vein, when people were
heatedly debating what was the great

Marshall caught the popular approval

G HA NTS PA SS, June 2 0. There
are certain activities connected with
the development of any industry which
by their very nature are susceptible
of a larger proportion of crooned work
than any other. This fact has led to a
nomenclature generally regarded as
not praiseworthy to put It mildly
.These activities have to do with the
promotion and are Just as essential as
nny other part of the building up of
nn industrv. Tho ordinary return a
nmn gets for his work Is based upon
the difference between the value of
the thing to one man and the value
of It to another. In the promotors
line of work the wider 'he can make
this margin, tho bigger his pay, and
inasmuch as there is no fixed stand
ard by which tho value can be deter
mined it Is natural for him to make
that margin ns great ns possible by
whatever nfeans presented.
It is conceivable, however, that both
parties might be taken Into the con
fidence of the promoter and a fair
( ,mrlM to n hargain must in order to
be successful in a business way, each
trying to beat the other has for some
time been regarded ns obsolete. Sec
recy In business Is no longer regarded
as nn essential or even a desirable
factor, and the biggest businesses In
existence today In the mercantile field
are successful In the degree to which
they npply fair dealing with their cus
tomers and those from whom they
buy. niid any attempt to build up a
business in this day upon the basis of
'caveat emptor" Is foredoomed to
for his investment: and for the ser
vice he performs for his customers,
and a man who has a mine to sell,
and who has gone to the trouble to

The term "option hound," which has
come to bo regarded as npprohrious Is
regarded by the bureau as applicable
to one whose activities as a broker
are confined to what practically
'Iim0unts to a holdup, that Is to an In
dividual to ascertain the presence of
a huyrr, or n prospective buyer and to
