CHAMPION ORATOR WON THOUGH ILL Severe Cold Was Climaxed by Nose Bleed Shortly Before Contest. The world champion high school ofator won last night in the face of ill- ness, which at the last moment threatened to keep Edmund A. Gullion, the victor, out of the contest. This was revealed by parents of the victorious 17-year-old post-graduate stu- dent at Western High School, Lieut. Col. Allen W. Gullion, U. S. A, and Mrs. Gullion, after their son had ploughed his way through a milling throng of admirers from the stage, with | the champlonship in his possession. Delayed by Nose Bleed. Edmund had been fighting a severe cold all week, and the climax of the in- disposition was reached a few moments before the youth was to leave home for Constitution Hall last night. nose bleed, which defied all home ef- forts to staunch, delayed the boy's de- parture, and_necessitated calling of physicians. Expertly applied packing was resorted to, and the orator downed the first cup of coffee of his lifetime, and so supported ascended the rostrum. ‘When seen by representatives of The Btar, the newspaper which sponsored his participation in the contest, the ‘Western High School graduate declared he felt fit and fine, for the trial, with no mention at all of the trying experi- ence through which he had just passed. As he stood patiently while a battery of newspaper photographers made flash- light pictures of him and Dr. Cloyd Heck Marvin, George Washington Uni- versity president, who had presented him the cup, and his parents, Edmund appeared weary and “let down.” Is Glad It Is Over. “It has been an awful grind and I am glad that it is over,” he said. “But my own happiness—and I must admit this—in the completion of the job isn't | P in it with my gle-.sure at bringing back the champions| ‘The title has ip to the United States. been away from us, you know, since that boy (Herbert Wenig of California) won it the first year.” Between the flashlight flares and the noise of clamoring youthful admirers, ‘who beseiged stout doors for the cham- %’ autograph on a contest program, und managed to look ahead to, his new ambition. Having been graduated from Western High School last June, less than a month after he won the national finals, in the contest, Edmund returned to Western for post-graduate work this year. He said last night, how- ever, that he still is determined to go to Princeton University. There he will take academic courses fitting him for training later, should he desire it, and at the same time, giving a sound education for literary work. “I want to do some kind of writing; some kind of paying writing, like the work you are doing,” Edmund told The Star reporter. Vietor From Kentucky. While Gullion has been identified rather widely as a “Washingtonian,” he admitted last night that actually he is & Kentuckian. It was in that State that he was born, 17 years ago. Hence Kentucky may elaim a national cham- plon for the time,’ for it was that State which sent James Raeburn Moore of Scmerset to the National Capital to win the United States finals ‘The new world cham- parents for six years, with a year vening during which Lieut.

Gullion’s Vict Which Won National Edmund Gullion's winning speech | on *“John Marshall and Federal Su-! premacy”’—the same oration which, | togetherwith his extemporaneous ad- dress, won the national finals here 1ast May—follows: 4 These are the law givers. These are the kings of wisdom in the ages of man; Moses and Solomon, Solomon and Pericles, Justinian and Antoninus Pius. These are the justices of some supreme and immortal court that sits oa Olym- us. In the year 1755 there destined to lend prestige even to that eternal tribunal. That one was John Marshall, the law giver of the new era, a new nation, & new theory of govern- ment conceived in individual liberties, but to be confirmed in & national patriotism. 1 He saw the futility of our government whose powers were distributed among the several colonies; he realized that the future of the Nation, unless su- | preme and responsible powers were re- posed in a strong central government, was hopeless. Finally, he knew that the need of a fixed policy, a final au- thority, and a national organization could be supplied only by the Constitu- tion of the United States. But vital to his conception of the State as a body of people governing themselves by ‘means of a written constitution was the acceptance of the supremacy of Federal Government. As Chief Justice for years his deci- sions were to become the milestones of our progress toward nationalism. But at the time of his installation, the posi- tion of the judiciary was precarious. The policy of the Supreme Court was but indicated. Jefferson had begun to attack it and the whole theory of centralized government. The Constitu- tion, ostensibly, was the moving genius of the Government. The people saw and wondered. Would this document destroy the individual capacities of the States? Take away the initiative of the citizen? Was it a charter of their liberties. or some maleficent proclama- tion of thelr restrictions? these the judiciary and John Marshall came to represent the Constitution and the central government. Our general ap- plication of the Constitution is actually determined in the cases John Marshall decided. In' them he established the principles which are vital to Federal supremacy. He read in the Constitu- tion & P which confers immor- tality, an ideal -principle that the Na- tion was no mere compact of States, but a PFederal unit, constituted by a sovereign people as the agency of democratic government and the saf guard of individual lberty. So con- stituted, the Federal Government was supreme and indestructible. Marshall, for and through | an institution of uncertain prestige, yet made his opinions the foundation of our Constitutional law and the embedded strength of the Constitution itself. These opinions form the gospels of na- tionalistic doctrine. Their apostle is John Marshall. Study his cases. At acl ¥ e 25 circumstances of Marshall. To deliver a final and responsible verdict on ques- tions of contemporary controversy, and to initiate a national policy frequently without recourse to preconceived statute or established precedent, is, in itself, a new and radical departure. But to in- corporate this verdict in an opinion em- bodying the elements of law and equity involed, and to correlate the whole to some final instrument of decision, such as the Constitution, demands of the jurist, the statesman’s sense of the aim of government. Marshall's general policy of interpretation was neither | strict nor liberal. His way was the | middle course—the golden mean of | government. He seems to have been | raised up by a beneficient Providence, & | happy Destiny. Without him the Gov- | ernment_would have had no balance, terpreter, no expounder. He bullded a Nation just as Washington before him, { and Lincoln after him. There seems & fact of greatness in the very similarity. Marshall and Washington both marched from Viiginia to & position around the fount of Government. | Marshall's contribution was one of | prophetic vision. 1If, as Emerson said, | “an institution is but the lengthened shadow of a great man,” then the | Supreme Court, and through it the | Constitution, is the full bodied, subli-| mated shadow of John Marshall. His | place in our national history is that of & | wise man approaching across the waste | sands of doubt and ignorance, bearing | gifts to the new-born Constitution. Second-Place Oration. Paul Leduc's second-place winnin | speech on “Canada and International Peace” follows " Two new concepts — international | solidarity and peace—preoccupy the | minds of our generation. Who does not feel that something new | has penetrated the human soul! It seems that we are “concerned with | brotherhood.” D fore than this; the war spirit has disappeared; the ideal of the nations |is like a bymn to peace—& paean | life—to lighi. | "'Under French and English regimes alike, Canada cherished the idea of | peace, and 1 am proud to offer her as | an_example to humanity. ‘When Canada was first being settled, !

But Bockhacker’s oration was lengthy and six minutes is brief. The timing board’s whistle sounded and, smiling, the youth gave way to the next speaker. Canadian Discusses Peace. Paul Leduc, Canadian French. ing orator, took the stage to ‘“Canada and International Peace. “The ideal of the Canadian people,” he said, “is peace; their history and present policy prove it. We left Europe three centuries ago to better our con- dition: we flattered ourselves that we were the most fortunate people until the day when we returned to the Euro- pean continent to defend the empire of which we were a part.” Andre P. J. Pioux, Prance's orator, spoke on “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity. Discussing his topic, Ploux said: “Lib- erty—Men have the right to govern themselves. Equality—All 33"“' the same right under the law. ternity— should help.each other and treat each other as brothers. Three words, but the same thought—three aspects of the mighty power that has most pro- foundly moved the nations since the history—the aspiration of Fioux was Javier Vivanco R. Mexico's entrant. “Nationalism and Its New Ideology” was his topic and it was a plea for a purity of aspiration in civilization. Less stress upon the ma- terial and more upon the ideals was what the young Mexican pleaded for. Gullion Takes Stage. “The Star Spangfed Banner'—a knowing smile from the boy—Edmond Gullion, champlon since May of the United States and the Washiagton champion, walked to the center of the stage to the strains of “The Star Spangled Banner.” The young Amer- ican's oration on “John Marshall and Pederal Supremacy” had been heard in Constitution Hall before, for it was the speech with which he won the right to speak last night. William Hayes, Ireland's clear-voiced spokesman, followed Gullion as the last speaker in the prepared-oration phase of the meeting. “Ireland” was Hayes’ topic and his was a fair if sympathetic recitation of the Emerald Isle’s various bids for world renown. He named his country’s poltical, literary art and world figures and cited briefly its history. With Hayes’ oration heard, all of the | prepared speeches were over and the | audience waited for the fina! and vital on our con- ker, “and ak- wn Justice.” After mlmul parties. its aims and the othe: sires a new leader. Draws on Historical Facts. Clemente Terez-Zanartu was next to return with a discussion of “Bolivar and Venezuela.” It afforded him still further opj ty to exhibit his knowledge of history and he drew upon that store of facts he has assembled for the splendid performance he gave. “Political Realities in Germany To- day” was the subject which Bock- hacker brought back to the stage with him. He attacked his task with poise which he held without. Paul Le Duc smiled when he returned to discuss “The Significance of the Treaty of Montreal.” It was a weighty nt and the PFrench-Canadian seemed to sense it, but he launched an acceptable oration which the timer's whistle stopped. News reading stood Pioux in excel- lent stead when he came back to dis- clgl “The United States of Europe.” Ofily one hestitation, caused more by determination to build proper expres- sion than by lack of opinion, marked this exceptionally well timed speech. ‘The little Mexican, Vivanco R., was introduced to talk on “The Integrating Pactors in Mexico Today.” The whistle sounded on his last word. ‘When Gullion came back to speak on “Marshall's Influence on World Af- fairs” he chose first to discuss the world’s . influence on Marshall. audience tittered at what seemed a strategy, but the young Washingtonian dodging the, issue. He came back after a moment of speaking to an attack which he was concluding when his time elapsed. Flash of Irish Wit A flash of the famed Irish geniality and wit, together with an exhibition of frankness, rarely seen in the contest, marked the appearance of young Willlam Hayes. He drew the title “The Makers of the New Ireland.” “Before getting into that, ladies and gentlemen,” Hayes said, “I owe you an apology. You are disappointed, I fear, because I lack an Irish brogue.” laughed. 11" eoniinved Hayes, “that is no fault of mine.’ Hayes admitted that he was not thor- oughly familiar with the makers of the new Ireland, explaining that he was bit young for such study. In a bold ef- fort, however, to make some accounting of himself he sought to name the first President of the Irish Free State, Scratching his head, and grinning a winning smile, Hayes declared that he feared he had forgotten that one. An obliging listener away up in the balcony sang out the name “De Valera,” and as Hayes smiled his thanks the audience roared its delight. Not discouraged by | one defeat, however, the young Irish- | man tried to recall the name of an- other modern Irish patriot, but again | his memory failed him. | In a last effort to execute a great coup, he said, “Before I conclude, ladies and gentlemen, I want to give you one bit of advice.

TRACES ORATORICAL AR Minister of Irish Free State Tells of Influence on People. The text of the speech delivered by Michael MacWhite, Minister of the Irish Pree State, before the contestants in the International Oratorical Contest were introduced, follows: “The gift of oratory is one I heard illustrated at a dinner at which I assisted a few months ago. A gentle- man told a story of a bishop traveling in a railway carriage with an individual who was swearing outrageously, until the bishop finally said to him, ‘My dear sir, where in the world did you learn to swear,’ to which he replied, ‘It can't be learned, sir, it's a gift.’ ‘Well we are all inclined to think that the art of public address is a heavenly gift, but if we study the lives of great m‘ we also find that some of them contend against many physical disadvantages. Nevertheless, urged on by & ruling passion, they became masters in their art, and transmitted to us a style and form which can hard- 1y be improved today. “Every age and every clime have produced orators. In prehistoric times, the club no doubt clinched home the’| final argument, just as in more recent days the decision was frequently left to the arbitrement of the sword. Traces Power of Oratory. “Prom the days of ancient Greece, with its record of oratorical rivalry between gods and men, as illustrated in the Illiad of Homer, down through the centuries when the Roman Senate ruled the world, we can trace in master- pleces of oratorical art the power of the human voice. In the middle ages, the preaching of & few monks drew together the most motley collection of people ever assembled in the noble and futile endeavor that culminated in the crusades. In more modern times, the close of the eighteenth century, wit- nessed the magnificent pleadings of the great orators of Europe and Amer- ica in the cause of democracy and liberty. Almost within our own times, the speeches of Abraham Lincoln and Henry Clay have left an unmistakable effect on the policies and destinies of this great continent. “The anclents regarded oratory as the art of arts and practiced it as a profession. In Europe today oratory is regarded as a fine art, requiring con- stant study and practice, which is, of course, essential to any man taking part in public affairs. It is therefore a mis- take to conclude that it is a gift that 18 no longer effective or useful. On the contrary, the living voice sways the soul of man today as effectively as it did in the days of the younger Pliny. “A little reflection will convince ‘us or his abilities today than every before in Multigraph and Addressograph Operator Wanted Young man, tious and understand D Federal-American Nat'l Bank Cor. 14th & G Sts.

Consequently many of the late arrivals were disappointed and some did not get into the auditorium. human history.

Young Orators Typieal. “The young orators whom you are to hear in a few minutes are typical not only of their respective peoples, but of an epoch when science has brought the whole world much closer together with- out, however, banis] altogether our national prejudices. lese young men are leaders in their class today. They will lead in the forum tomorrow. Their influence in the development of sane international relations in the future must, therefore, be considerable. They are compeun¥ now in a unique contest in the Capital of a great country, which is freer from national prejudices than any other capital city I know of, and I hope its example will be an inspiration to them. . “In some parts of the-Old World there are people who regard America as a vast and semi-barbarous extension of Eu- Tope. They only know it from books, which are so overdrawn as to be thor- oughly misleading, and besides, they judge it by their own standards and naturally find much to criticize.
