VICE PRESIDENT LAUDS WORK OF THE SALVATION ARMY

IWATKBMAN pays tribute to GELINE BOOTH. . "ARMY FILLS GREAT NEED” Problem of the Age Is to Arouse • Brotherhood of Man, Says Mr.Marshall in Voluntary Appro- | eUtien of Amy's Wedk. A heartfelt app: eclat ton of the Salvation Army and Commander Evangeline Booth ,was made by Vice-Pres-ident Marshall tn an Informal address before a small group of people In Phoenix, Arizona, March 14. Friends of the Anny preserved the Accompanied by Mrs. Marshall, the vice president went to Arizona to grieve over the loss of the little * footer son who had come to mean so mneh ♦«> them Finding himself called upon to speak, the vice president chose the Salvation Army to talk about, and gave as hisreason the following statement: “I said to myself while here I would say nothing on any public quest lon, but when I was informed that there was to be a meeting for promoting the interests of the Salvation Army. I said I could pot keep silent and be faithful to the memo# of the little one we loved so well, if by any word of mine I could induce you gentlement to be faithful to the • little ones still on earth.” Continuing the vice president said: “I have sat tor seven years in the seats of the mighty, and 1 have met, perhaps, more of the great men of the earth than any American prior to this age has ever seen —scholars, statesmen, diplomats, patriots, orators, warriors—and yet of all the great ones that the opportunities of my office have enabled me to meet,

the greatest man I have met was not a men—be was a woman, and her name is Evangeline Booth! I speak that with no mere lip service, but as the gwnfn* outpourings that have sounded above all human passions of who has tried, with a clear and deliberate lodgment, to survey the world and tried to find out what toe world needs. Wise to Promote Happiness. “I have not myself been opposed to any measure of legislation which good men have thought would contribute to the good of the people, but more and more, as the years go by and the nearer I ght to that time when I must push aside the purple curtains for the twilight and go home. I hope, I am convinced that the wisdom of mankind is to promote the real happiness of the human race, and the* there is but one supreme thing in every hflman life that will enable a men to reach what Thomas Jefferson said—that is, a supreme belief in an overruling and all-loving God. “I am myself, as most of you know, an old-fashioned, blue-stocking Pres byterian, but I am a far better Presbyterian than I am a Christian, and there are a lot of others in the same —boat. I glory in the traditions of my church. I have faith that it is a power for good In the world. I am not lessening the good-will and respect I bear for my own when I say to you that it is my deliberate judgment that there is not anything today in the world that is comparable to what The Salvation Army is doing for humankind. I never have doubted it since I first met and listened to Evangeline Booth. Of all the great orators in the world, she Is the greatest. “If, Instead of being a Salvation lassie, she had been an actress, no woman would have graced the stage as she would have; if, instead of being a Salvation lassie, she had been a politician, it would not hav§ been worth while for anyone else to run on the other ticket. It has been ten years now since I first met her and presided over one of her meetings.

and she pricked my conscience as a Presbyterian then, and she has been hitting it many a blow since. =4==, Difference Between Herses and Men. "I remember well what she said about the different way in which we - treat men and treat horses —how if a horse falls down on the icy pavement, the street-car stops; one man —a second, a third and a south—pats the horse on the neck and says, ‘Whoa, boy!’ and no one ssks the horse how he happened to fall down. But, in our treatment of our fellow man. she said, when he is down, before we ever attempt to help him up we inquire how he came to tall down and what was in him to make him fall. For the first time in all my relgious life I understood what was meant by the Scriptures (1 do not quote accurately): How can you love God whom you have not seen if you do not lev* your brother- whom you have seen?’ From that time I have watched, and whether I could by word of mouth or by contribution, I have helped this Salvation Army, for what the world really needs, and you know it and I know It, Is not somebody who Is underneath you. pushing you up, or someone who is above you pulling you t up, but it is somebody who is just beside you, walking with with you and keeping you up, and that is what The Salvation Army does tor humankind. "Brotherhood in America is something of a joke. In the city of Washington a lady’s maid will not associate with a chamber-maid, and a chamber-maid will not associate with a scullery-maid. A chauffeur will not associate with a Government clerk, and a Government clerk will not associate with a clerk in a store. And what a clerk In a store will associate with I have never found out We preach here about democracy and

about God making all men equal, and we go on, each man arrogating to himself that he is just a little bit better than any other man. “Now, The Salvatloh Army does not do that. Mrs. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and the lowest magdalene sitting by the wayside of life are treated just' the same. The Salvation Army says, ‘God made you all, and if you expect to have any standing in His sight you have got to get nearer together and closer together and have more confidence In each other.’ Asks Blessing on Salvation Army. “I do not want you to think that I am disloyal to my own church, because I belong to. one that you cannot quit. They can throw you out, and I Ao not want to be thrown out,, and I do not mean that should lessen any zeal you have for your various denominations, but 1 do mean that this organization fills a great need in the world today. The problem is not one of labor or capital, or of poverty or riches, democracy or aristocracy. The problem of this age is to believe that men are mutually helpful to each other and that men have mutual interests in each other. That is the problem of this age aqd toward the total solution of it all religious organisations of 'America will contribute, but I know of no organisation which will stand back ot mep and humankind better than the Salvation Army. And for its success I pray God’s blessing! It can find things out for you that you and I could not find out.

“There is a man out here at Scottsdale that I think more of than any man in America. Do you know why? I will tell you: Because when he goes by my little bungalow he throws up his head and yells: ‘Hello, Tom!’ I am not Vice-President of the United States to him; I am just a plain, old-fashioned. Godfearing American to that man. That is what I like about that fellow, and that is what I like about The Salvation Army. That Is what, I hope, will permeate into the hearts of the churches and into the hearts of all our people.”

story of how prayer brought a mudineeded dishpan to Major Jennie Ward, tho baloved bead of the Army’s famous Cherry Street Slum Settlement and Nursery on New York’s East Side. So much poverty and suffering existed in the neighborhood at the time that the Major and her helpers did not feel justified In taking even a slim dime to buy a new dishpan. Finally the Major and her assistants went down on their knees and prayed for a dishpan, just as they had prayed for guidance tn their work of relieving the distress about them. That evening, the Major set out with her tambourine to collect such money as she could on the streets and in the saloons thereabouts. In one of the “gia-miUa" was an utterly inebriated man with a large bundle. ' ■ "Here, shtahter," he mumbled, as the Major rattled tambourine before him, *T ain’t got no money, but yer-hle-wolcome to ylsh." “It was a fine big dishpan.” said tee Major the other day, as she reminisced about bar work of thirty years - - I

HOW TO BEAT JOHNSON.

■ The way to beat Johnson ill to vote for Wood. This is a painful thing to say, in view of the praiseworthy campaigns made by Governor Lowden and Ben--1 ator Harding—both men of fine character and fully equipped for the presidential office. But it is I’heyertheleab’the plain truth. Recent primaries everywhere show that division of the anti-Johnson . vote results in benefit for. Johnson. For those who want to beat Johnson, the simple expedient is to combine their votes on the leading candidate opposing him. In this state this is Gen. Wood. If Johnson is beaten in Indiana,, it.will be by Wood. If Johnson wins, it. will be through the votes of those who think they want to beat Johnson, but help to win by voting for LoWden or Harding. _ ; We have no quarrel with Senator Johnson or his supporters. He makes a straightforward campaign, he is followed by men who know perfectly well what they wanty who are very earnest in their desires. Every man who crave? to see Johnson nominated in June and elected m November - should vote for JohnsonBut every man who sincerely hopes foi the defeat of Jotosonat to ’dtseredk him now -in a very debeat him here next Tuesday if he is beaten. r TTowlino .wipti vO CuUCKIC over Johnsons wwh A, main lit. <1 fTR IV lO I
