w 2 SENATE CAN SAVE i Peculiarly Its Guardian, Says Vice President in His Inaugural Address. Washington, March 4.?That the forms of government should I J I rU _ * ^ uc preserveu uy trie saving salt | of honor and that the senate should do its part in this was the outstanding thought in the inaugural address of Thomas R. Marshall, Viee President of the United States. Mr. Marshall, immediately after taking the oath, launched into his inaugural address. He spoke of the government of the United States as a harness. The blind- 1 ers?typifying the senate?he said must be so adjusted as to 1 enable the body politic to see ' clearly. ' He touched on the need of \ honor as the best preservative ' of the nation. The senate, he 1 said, was singularly the guard- * ian of the people's honor. He ( closed with an expression of the * hope that all the nation's diplo- ( macy might spell truth and 1 justice. 1 "The proprieties of this oc- ^ casion probably require a few * words from one who is grateful ( to the American people for the J' honor heretofore done him and ' this day consummated," Mr. J1 Marshall said. I 1 "No senator has, I trust, a 1 keener appreciation of the ne- e cessities in the way of tact and 1 courtesy now devolving upon 11 me than I myself. I otfer no: t surety as to my discharge of, f duties other than a personal 1 pledge that I will seek to famil- 1 arize myself with them and will l endeavor always to exercise i that complaisance and forbear- s ance which are essential to him who ably presides over great t debates upon great public ques- \ tions by great men. c "Divergent views relative to J this body would be less diver- a gent if the American people 1 would come to realize that on all c sides of real questions much i may truthfully be said. Such c an attitude of the public mind 1 would eliminate the view that e this body is distinctively delib- t erate and not thoroughly pa- ? triotic. i "Charges of bad faith based i upon an attitude of mind or s upon conduct should never be f made until it is clearly estab- v lished that tin* resultant inn C* is the outcome of personal interest or improper and dishon- s orable business or social rela- a tions. p BODY STILL NEEDED. r "Your action has not always !' met with universal approval but . up to this good hour no work- ' able substitute for the exercise ! of the functions of this body has been proposed. It is not netdful for me here and now to accept a brief in your defense, r This body will continue to stand not because of its presiding J. officer, but because of the patriotism and intelligence of its n constituent members and to their devotion to our system of government. V "To my mind, government is the harness with which a people draw its load of civilization. If the harness be properly adjusted the load, though heavy, will sv be drawn with ease and no part m of the people will be galled, j on The senate is the blinders, in-:.. teiidc'l to keep the people from t)l shying at imaginary dangers S(. and toppling into the ditch ourj m system of government. So long; as the blinders serve their purpose they ar< a most valuable jj. part of the harness, but if they . ) be drawn so closely to the eyes , - to prevent the seeing of real <(! dangers, then they should .(|( either be spread or done away jj( with entirely. 1 am one of those U| who think that we can so ad- ,'j, just our blinders as to meet new (^ conditions and render us sanely j responsible to every reasonable demand of the people without ! disturbing any of the checks, j and balances of our system of government and presen ing u. with loyalty and fidelity the an-; ^ cient ideals of the republic. ! "With neither right nor de- ; >u sire to infringe upon the prerogatives of the President so ()t soon to be, 1 beg the expression of the opinion that whatever diverse views may be held relative to the work of this w 1 i k/i t/ oil n vrt orfron/1 4Vi*i4 ./v.jr <*.. i fifii' t.l Him s| under the constitution the senate of the United States is sing- jl_ ularly the guardian of the peo- cu pie's honor; that more and tji more, as righteousness is ex dted amonj this people, the k COUNTRY'S HONOR idea is becoming more firm fixed that it is not vast ter; tory, great wealth nor lar learning which marks the r status of America; that Ame: ca is to be measured by t golden metewand of honor; ar as the idea in her formats was the inherent right of m to rule themselves, that n< she can ill afford to announ this doctrine in her own lai and renounce it for an instr ment of oppression in oth lands. NO FIXED STANDARD. "Unfortunately there is ] fixed standard of honor outsf the dictionary. The gambl may hold it to consist in payii fiis gaming debts; the memb )f* the smart set, in divorcii his neighbor's wife before ta ing her unto himself; the se iter, in eliminating persona ;ies. But when we enter tl chancelleries of the world ai submit to their judgments n )nly our right to be but 01 *ight to be respected we ct lope to be measured in but 01 vay; and we must be able 1 ;how that the solemn treat >bligations of this republic wi )e kept with the same scrupi ous honesty; bath of spirit ar etter, whether made with tf lumblest people of this cont lent struggling for self-go1 rnment or with the miglitie: nonarch of the old world. Th ligh sense of honor constitute he panoply of the America leople. Armies and battleshi] urnish no substitute for i ?hese are valuable but the pe< >le never intended that autho ty should use them as acce: pries to a burglar's kit. "If any one in the name ( he American people, either i dotation of treaty obligatior >r the manifest purpose of tf Jonroe doctrine, has take night while this body was d< iberating, it is your duty to a; :ertain all facts thereto.
