could not have expected victory against
the ministry upon the merits OF that
question alone. Clemenceau had become
almost what the French call tradition
His record as the longest lived premier
since the organization OF the republic was
In itself source of strength, and al
though the naval disclosures were de-
plorable and disquietng there was reason
to believe that he had not forfeited public
confidence. For there has never been q
question of Clemenceau's integrity and no
doubt OF his ability to repair whatever
damage might have been found in the
naval organization.
But when ClemenceaN in moment OF
irritation and probably OF confident ex-
ultation undertook to make counter at
tack upon his enemy by accusing him OF
having precipitated the Algeciras con-
ference concerning Morocco without suf-
ficient military preparation to enable
France to maintain its position if forced
by Germany. he took the step too lar
which he doubtless now regrets. lie
should have known that it Is unwise to
flaunt, even in domestic debate, the tact
that France Is unready 10 meet Germany
upon the battlefield. He should have been
conter.c to allow the Algeciras question TO
rest in the obscurity to which most
Frenchmen are willing to relegate 1t. 1t
was particularly unwise to invoke the
Moroccan ghost in connection with the
question Of the French readiness to main
tain itself at sea. Indeed. the whole al
fair proved colossal and incompre-
hensible blunder.
The passing of NJ. Clemenceau will be
matter of regret for those who nave
witnessed his career as premier. 1t Will
be impossible for him to fully rehaDlil-
tate himself. for the memory OF such
useless mistake will remain, even though
it does not impugn his craftsmanship. lie
is unquestionably one of the strongest
men in France today, and 1t Is pity
that his emotional temperament Carried
him off his balance at time when
France is in Srayest need Of calm guild
ance.

it Is today seriously rnarred by ugly bust

Had the original plans been carried into

The discussion raised in the House of

are eighty-five United States district at

age of nearly two to every state, and
each of these has number OF salaried

professional assistance when there is any
important prosecution to be undertaken.
According to the chairman of the conn
mittee on appropriations, some of thes
high-priced special counsel rendered no
active service at all. being retained to
give an appearance o. wei to the pr SCI

lacked. 1t must be recognized that much
of this array of distinguished counsel

permanent law officers of the government
would be capable of carrying on all of

back them up with a reserve of special

II is unfortunate that an opportunity

ing upon the West case. According 10
his decision the Juvenile Court has no
jurisdiction over the case of person
accused of non-support; consequently. I'M
less Judge Stafford's decision Is overruled
by the Court of Appeals, the Juvenile
court will be compelled to abandon a
work which has proved of the greatest
value. Under the Juvenile Court practice
non-support cases have been tried quietly
and effectively. Delinquent husbands have
been placed on parole and warned that
they are given a chance on condition of

required to report from time to time 10

who become the agents for the payment

Chairman Smith of the House District
committee, states that at the present time

of the House and I were elected in No
vember. Our party's platform was clear
expression of party faith, and the coun-

jority.
In obedience to the promise made. I
called Congress together in extra session
to revise the tariff. Nobody. I'm sure.
considered that the task would be easy.
I, for one. certainly had no such thought.
A measure touching our business inter-
ests at every point presents a thousand
difficulties.

That the country wants one is abundantly
testified to. We are in Office upon the
express promise of BILL If the friends
of protection should prove unequal to a
revision of the tariff ON protection lines,

If We are divided, so are our democratic

In fact. it Is the party's record for doing
