RESIGNS After Violent Debate
Over Naval Scandals.
WILD EXCITEMENT IN CHAMBER
After a Bitter Exchange Between Pre-
mier Clemenceau and Ex-Minister OF
FOREIGN Affairs Delcasse the Gov
eminent Was Beaten BY Vote OF
PIP to 176

Paris July 21.-The Clemenceau
cabinet fell suddenly under dramatic
circumstances at the conclusion oil a
violent debate over the naval scan
dals. extending over several days. NJ.
Delcasse. chairman OF the investiga-
ting commission. led the attack upon
the naval administration.
Premier Clemenceau, who always
has been an adversary Of NJ. Delcasse,
smarting under the criticisms, ana
doubtless overconfdent OF a majority,
tainted the ex-minister Of foreign al
fairs. who was thrown overheard by
the Rouyier ministry at the dictation
of Germany during the crisis OF 1919
with having led France to Illumination
st Algeciras. The spectre Of that
chapter Of Frances foreign history, in
which Delcasse was sacrificed. was
fatal error. Instantly there was en- up
roar of dissent from both sides OF the
chamber. Delcasse flung back the
taunt in Clemenceau's face with bit
ter words. declaring amid cheers, that
France had gone to Algeciras In the
interest of peace.
NJ. Clemenceau. now evidently In a
rage. shouted: Your policy, as for
eien minister, led us to the greatest
humiliation France has experienced
in twenty years"
Another storm Of hostile cries arose
several deputies crying 1T is an out
rage TO say that" But the premier
tried to assume his old cynical air
"Oh. no false Indignation, pray YOU
he exclaimed. You brought MS to the
verge OF a war without military prep
aratiOn."
Again the tumult was redoubled
Yes" he shouted above the roar, the
whole world knew that the ministers

ton was put TO them replied thai
France was not ready. | have not hu
inflated France; Delcasse has done
that"
Amid the widest excitement the
vote was taken. and when 1t was an
nounced that the government had beer
beaten. 212 to 176. Clemenceau clap
ped his hat on his head stalked ou
of the chamber. followed by the othel
ministers.
NJ. Clemenceau went Immediately tt
the Elysee palace and told the stor,
to President Fallieres, who seemed
stupefled at the incident which caused
the fall OF the cabinet. but he &C
cepted the resignation Of the premier
and his ministers.

Unfortunate.

In barking back to the year 1895
for some campaign material for the
year 1909 the democratic World
Herald is unfortunate.
The year 1895 is the year that the
World-Herald went back on the citl-
zens' movement for reform in city gov
eminent and supported the A. P. A.
ticket bearing the republican label.
The year 1895 is the year after the
campaign in which the World-Herald
sold part of it's editorial page to the
republican state committee in betrayal
of it's own party ticket.
The year 1895 is also the same year
in which the World-Herald sold out to
the silver bullionaires to switch from
IN honest ratio of coinage to the dis
honest ratio of 16 to 1.
The year 1895 is an unfortunate one
in World-Herald history.

Primary Sidelights.

The official anvas of the votes
cast at the recent statewide primary
in Nebraska gives the republican nom
~ination for the third place for supreme
Judge to Jacob l.. Fawcett of Omaha
over Francis G. Hamer of Kearney by
a plurality of 357 votes.
Judge Fawcett in this, his home
county, where he is best known, shows
up a handsome plurality Of 1,O01 over
Judge Hamer, and, therefore, owes his
nomination in point of fact to his
friends and neighbors in Omaha and
Douglas county.
In Buffalo county, where Judge
Hamer resides, he naturally ran ahead
Of his outside competitors and scored
a plurality over Judge Fawcett of 3S2
votes.
Deducting from the totals the home
counties of these two candidates the
remaining vote would be 1899 fol-
Judge Hamer and 1927 for Judge
Fawcett, giving the nomination to
Judge Hamer by 262.
Incidentally the vote on these two
candidates in Lincoln should not be
overlooked. Lancaster county gave
Judge Hamer 2.194 votes and Judge
Fawcett 1,74O votes, although there
was no special reason why republicans
in Lancaster county should prefer &
candidate residing in Buffalo county
over a candidate residing in Douglas
county, other things being equal, or 4
anything more favorable to the candi
date from Douglas county. Deductinl
the vote Of Lancaster county, as wei
as the votes from the two home coun
ties of these two candidates, would
leave the total 1875 for Judge HameI
and 1887 for Judge Fawcett, anC
would give Judge Fawcett the nomina
ton by 1872 votes.
Putting the two home counties bacl
and deducting Lancaster county's vot,
would. make the totals 14,4OO 70
Judge Hamer and 1921 for Judg,
Fawcett, giving Judge Fawcett tn,
nomination by S11.

Hays speaks OF the practical utility
Of providing technical schools which
will supply from our native children
a class of young men trained in the
higher grades Of technical trade skill,
instead of depending as we are begin
ming to do on the graduates of foreign
technical schools which can furnish,
ready-made, the necessary and highly
paid superior workers in demand at
the mills and other places Of con-
structive industry.
The thought is that the public
school must be something more than
a recitation place for lower-grade pu-
pills. The bulletin suggests that there
are 100000 small schools. more than
half of which can be consolidated. 1t
may be practicable that 100000 could
be systematized into 10000 consoli-
dated rural schools. The suggestion
goes on to join the sixty agricultural
colleges in the country to a system of
800 or 400 agricultural finishing
schools, each Of them either separate
or part of an existing institution. The
fundamental principle is that the day
is coming for training the youth of
both sexes in those things that will
help them to make a living in other
vocations than the professions.
Prof. Hays looks upon the collegiate
grade of American instruction as we'll
enough organized to warrant a belief
that its development is assured. Eff
fort is needed now in strictly voca-
tional schools. He is a friend Of the
agricultural high school bill now be-
fore congress and quite properly
counts on this bulletin to be a help in
the progress of the legislation.
