Not a Socialist.
C1emenceau showed himself dur
Ing his former power an astute
politician. In the public eye since
the days of the Commune, he had
through the combination Of journal
ism and politics built up reputation
as a wrecker Of cabinets. When II
first fell to him to hold the power
from which he had driven so many
at which most politicians are
through. He is now an old man Of
rs, living on his nerves.
When prime minister ten years aso
he carried through the separation OF
church and state. Then, too, a great
miners strike was organized by the
socialists, He went into the district
to investigate the complaints of the
workmen, who knowing his revolu-
tionary sympathies, expected his aid
I'VE are not fighting on the same
side of the barricade now" was his
reply.
Riots were put down by the mill
tary, and the strike was lost. For
this he was bitterly attacked by the
socialists. They now seem to have
buried their hatred in the crisis. A
threatened revolution in the south
of France by the wine growers also
was ruthlessly put down by him IN
1907.
Loves Only His Country.
Although strongly opposed to So
ciallsm, Clemenceau adopted many
"A - Il ~ &rsyav md
q scheme for an income tax and for
old age pensions, and carried
through a law making compulsory
one day OF rest out of seven. He also
added to the system Of state rail-
ways. His cabinet ultimately was
ousted on charge of neglecting the
navy.
His foreign policy was one of
friendship with England, and this
in a day when most Frenchmen
spoke of "Perfdious Albion" The
charge of selling state secrets 20
England he met with duel. Cynical
about everything else. he lover his
country with a pure devotion. He
stood against French colonial ex-
pansion, and when L. was believed
that France could acquire Egypt be-
fore England got It. he said that he
preferred SLTdSSUuTB 10 1ctAAo.
Alsace- Lorraine he regards as
French soil that must be reclaimed,
and he desires nothing else out 4
the war. 1--WE want schools and
country roads, not colonies" Is one
of his statements.
There he finds himself in accord
with most Of the French socialists,
and on that basis OF anti imperial
ism he may succeed in holding his
ministry. At the beginning Of the
war he won the confidence of the
people by his defiance of the censor
ship. His newspaper. L'Homme
Libre, was suppressed after two
months, only to reappear as L'hom-
me Enchaine. The jest of the change
from the Freeman to the Man in
Chains was not lost on the people.
He dislikes President Poincare and
had objected to the SaioniN expedi-
ton as a scheme to get the able
General Sarrail out Of France. 1t is
his often expressed belief that every
soldier should fight on French soil.

The French cabinet, always in a
state of instability. is now headed by
Georges Clemenceau, the best hated
and most admired man in the re-
| public.
He loves lighting, and always has
hit hard aand quickly. Though a
pitiiess enemy, he lie known as an
absolutely just man TO friends and
| enemies alike. Reckless frankness
Is in him combined with irrepressible
irony and sarcasm. Since the day
he arrived in Paris from Brittany as
q medical student. he never has loaf
ed. When, in the '90s he was driven
from politics for ten years, he built
up a reputation as a novelist, play
wright and art critic. No French
statesman has fought more duels
than he. and he was equally keen
with sword or pistol, tongue or pen.
I Altogether, he is the most brilliant
French politician, and an honest one,
which is even more rare in France
than in most countries.
Fled to America.
There is much in that description
that fits Theodore Roosevelt. II is
remembered that when he left the
White House. the colonel said that
there were two men that he was
eager above all others to meet. They
were the kaiser and Clemenceau.
The latter recently returned the
compliment by an appeal to Presi-
dent Wilson to let Roosevelt fight in
France.
Something of his spirit may have
been acquired in the three years he
spent in America just after our
Civil war. AS a youth he had been
imprisoned for editing, with lola, a
labor paper in the Latin Quarter Of
Paris. After his release he had to
come to New York to avoid arrest
for shouting on the streets. ''Vive la
Republique." That was in the reign
of Napoleon III. He became LAM
guage teacher in a girls school at
Stamford, Conn. There he married
one Of his pupils, a match that end
ed in divorce. Had 1t not been for
the outbreak Of the Franco Prussian
war he might have remained to, be
an American writer or legislator, for
he had registered his intention Of
becoming an American citizen.
Became a RevoIUtionist.
On his Homecoming he was made
mayor of Montmarte and became a
leader in the revolution that found
ed the third republic. His hatred Of
shams and stupidity he never has
lost, and he has been a consistent
radical.
AS the usual thing, the formation
of a new ministry is a mere shutting
Of the cards. in which tho same faces
appeal, but in different order. But
Clemenceau is the joker in the deck.
Once before he turned up as
premier. holding Office in the stormy
days from 1906 to 1909. That was
almost a record for France, where
the average tenure of a ministry is
only a year and a half. There are
nine parties represented in the cham
Der of deputies, and also eighteen
members who are independent of all
parties. No ministry can be made
up with any hope Of its being able
to command a working majority in
the chamber unless it represents in
it's membership a coalition of several
parties. A government so constitut-
ed almost invariably is vaciliating

WHERE IS THE BENEFIT9

Just what can be gained by the
latest order Of the state fuel admin
istrator, limiting coal deliveries TO
1000 pounds, is not evident on its
face.
Il will serve to increase the burden
Of the consumer. not to tighten it. 1t
will triple or quadruple the cost of
delivery. Few housekeepers buy less
than a ton of coal at time, and
most of them buy in two or three ton
lots. Two tons of coal can be deliv-
cred about as cheaply as half ton,
and the dealers cannot be expected
TO absorb this extra cost. On top of
this is the waste of delivery. 1t
won't conserve coal; it will waste
it.
The Forum hopes that there has
been some mistake, or that the order
viii be modified to permit load of
coal or at least two tons to be deliv-
cred at one time.

VENICE AND HER ART
TREASURES.

Austria is reported to have prom
Used to spare the art treasures of
Venice in the event that the Italians
find it necessary to abandon the city.
The sacking Of Venice would be
the elimination Of the unforgivable
crimes committed by the Central
Powers.
The memory Of the devastation,
wanton and terrible, left by the Ger
mans in Belgium and France will not
be wiped out for generations, but the
razing of Venice would be the apogee
of ruthlessness.
Venice is perhaps the greatest
storehouse of art treasures in the
world. In one group Of FIVE build
ings, are, or were, more priceless
possessions that were contained in
any other group of buildings on the
globe. The buildings include the
Campanile, st. Marks. the Doges'
Palace, the Royal Palace and the
clock tower. The irreplacabIe
works Of the worlds masters of
painting and sculpture are guarded
here, unless they have been removed
by the Italians. The picture of Ger
man officers stabling their horses in
these buildings, and defacing these
paintings and this statuary with
obscenities is conjured up by the
story Of Belgium.
The Austrians may keep their
word. 1t is possible that even the
Hun may stay his hand should
Venice fall, but there is nothing to
warrant such a belief. II Venice
falls. it at least win never be recap
tured intact. Only what is movable
and what is carried away by the
Italians, win be saved to the world.

st. Paul, MINI, Nov. 20. The
Minnesota Public Safety commission
has ordered proceedings to close all
Minnesota breweries which habitual-
ly violate or encourage violations Of
state laws. Products of outside
breweries that encourage violations
are to be barred from the state.

a motion instructing the attorney
general to begin proceedings to
Vacate the charters Of all domestic
brewery corporations that violate
the law and to terminate the right
of all foreign brewery corporations
to do business in this state that
habitually violate or connive at the
violation of Minnesota laws.
Atty, Gen. l.. A. Smith said he
would follow the instructions of the
commission and Immediately took up
the case of a brewery at Fergus
Falls, which, it is charged, is in the
class referred to in the motion Of the
commission.

William Allen White, more re-
Gently from the Italian front

that Italian officers told him

'tion. One Syrian who escaped has
been located on farm two mile:
from this city. A posse of 40 mel
left here at 6 o'clock to capture him.
The Syrian is heavily armed.
The trouble is said to have started
over the drafting of Syrian alier
enemy, Thomas Simon. who is said tc
have relatives in the Turkish army
Simon's name was certified to the dis
trict exemption board because of lack
Of proof of his claims. He met some
of the officials of the local board T.
a crowded drug store last night and
is alleged to- have struck one of the
officials.
Simon is then said to have run to
the Syrian store kept by himself and
his brother, Nose Simon. The two
Syrians and the formers wife loaded
Winchester rifles and revolvers in
plain view of the street and prepared
for a pitched battle, it is said.
Late in the evening the police at

the assault. Then the Syrians opened
fire. Allen Dortch. popular young man
about town. fell wounded in the lung.
M. L. Bembey. postoffice clerk, was
shot through the ear and, John Hill
planter. was shot through the arm. In
the return of shots the wife Of Simon
was killed. When her body was pick
ed up in the street every cartridge in
the revolver which she still held in
her right hand was empty
The Simon brothers then barricaded
themselves in a vaut inside the store
and defied the police. They are al
legged to have opened fire on every one
who approached. Several vehicles
were struck, but no one else was in
jured.
Shortly after o'clock this morning
the crowd prepared to close in on one
OF the Syrians. The Syrians tried to
escape through the rear shooting az
they retired Thomas Simon was sho,
and killed in his flight.
An appeal was made for troops
from Camp Harris during the night
but information was obtained tha:
the officers had no authority to send

Thomas Simon came here recently
from Oklahoma. 1t is declared by
the police here that he was affiliated
