Indianapolis. Ind.v Way 20.—"Equal and exact justice tofall men" as a remedy for unrest •fas prescribed by Vice President Marshall in/his .key note address today before the state democratic convention. He' also urged jail sentences, for profiteers and incr'ease.d production to relieve the high cost ot living. "I hold that the Democratic doc trine of equal and exact*justice to all men and of special privileges to none •will meet all the angry and irrecon ciled views of today," said-' Mr. Mar shall. Wants Treaty ltatificd. The vice president also express the hope- that -President Wilson and the achate would reconcile their differ ences over the peace treaty and that it would be ratified but said no man should be read out of the Democratic party because of his opinion on the League of Nations, "This was, as 1 understand it," the vice president said, an American war. The peace should be an Amer ican peace. The war could not have been fought successfully as cither a Democratic or- a Republican war. The peace cannot bring tliat real peace which the' American people want if it be made either as a Democrat or a Republican peace. "As a life long advocate of a resort to courts and not tp force I. gave my unqualified endorsement to the al truistic views of the president, in the defense of which.views he has broken' body." l*5tup of the enforcement of pro hibition until change has made in its provisions, was opposed by Mr. Mar shall, who warned the Democratic party that it "merit the contempt of the people if it' ever stands for the flaun,ting of a law because certain citizens do not believe in it." "While the prohibition act remains it must be enforced in accordance with its provisions," he said. Attacks Republicans.

"The question now is, to what party will the people commit -the work of reconstruction?" Equal Justice. Regarding the doctrine for "equ^l and exact justice," Mr. Marshall saftd: "Equal and exact justice for all men demands that the law shall take into consideration the inherent right of the individual to life, to liberty and to the pursuit oC happiness shall pro tect the individual in these rights shall punish him if he interfere with the rights of another shall separalte all citizens into the honest, law-abid ing and the dishonest law-breaking shall let' the honest law-abiding alone and shall punish without fear, favor, or affection the dishonest law-break ing. And to accumulate a mind which believes in these prr«»£iples, it is time for us to put our .flying ma chines into the hangars of life and realize that while there is less speed, there is more safety In walking. Jail for Profiteers.' "Let us not delude ourselves into the belief that the currency and cred- iit of .this £puntry can double, the pop ulation increase and the production remain at a standstill, and yet that1 the high cost of living may be re duced and peace, plenty and prosper Ivy,abound in the land. Let us quit talking about the profiteer and begin jailing him. And let the man who works understand that in greater pro uuction he benefits himself _as well rs his fellow men. "You cannot gain ithe loyalty of the citizens of America until they ». have made up their mindsi that the laws of this country shall rest with equal justice and eq.ual force on high and low alike." Restoration, now that the war'is .ended, of freedom of speech and of the press with punishment for tbose seeding to crate disorder or over throw the government by any other than legal means was urged, by Mr. Marshall, who also advocated read justment of taxation after 1 ment expenditures have been reduced to a minimum, in order to place the burdens upon thpse most able to bear them. \The Democratic party, he said, should also demand that the states take back the discharge of the duties which were reserved to them in the compact'made with'the general gov ernment, and the party, he thought, should promise that it would not sub- mit'any federal constitutional amend ,r hients which "further relieves the states of the.ir duty to enforce the police power inherent in the states and to protect the lives and fortunes df their citizens." «, While omitting Any direct. refer eno9 tq a soldier bonus legislation, the vice president said.'he would say (•.!• to the former service men __ "sound ,V/:! jf body and mind" that they "can ob tain almost anything they want front congress.
