eight imperial chancellors in all, and
only five up to last year. But the
Third Republic has far outlasted any
Of the many experiments i'll gov
ernment which France tried from
l189 to 1871. As Theirs predicted, it
has been found to be the form of
government which divides the nation
least. When the French are tired OF
their governors they no longer build
barricades and set up guillotines;
they have a ministerial crisis" which
displaccs a premier without violence
and puts into power a man Of much
the same political convictions, ,rd
often a colleague in the same cab
met. An avowed enemy to the re-
public is almost as rare in France to-
day as in the United States.
Second, France has attained ma
tional strength. The army of Louis
Napoleon, as the late Won Moltke
demonstrated, was only a preten-
tious sham, The army commanded
by Jofire and Foch is, for its size,
probably the best army in the world.
An unjust and partial conscription
has been replaced by a strictly i'm
partial system of universal service
under the republic; merit has dis
placed favoritism in appointments;
science has prevailed over the cult
OF glory and pretentiousness~
Third, France has educated her
people. The Germans won the Fran
co-Prussian War by the thinking
bayonet," the skill of an educated
army. The Third Republic started
out with a heavy handicap of illIt-
eracy; a handicap which has prac-
tically disappeared. The thinking
bayonet is now a French weapon.
Fourth, France has built an en-
pire. 1t is a strange paradox :hat
the empire" which came to an end
in 1870 left France with bare foot
hold on the north coast OF Africa
and a few less important colonies in
the Far East and in the West In
dies, where as the republic has ex-
panded that empire into the second
most important colonial domain in
world; worthy rival of the Prit-
ish. and in both quantity and quality
immeasurably ahead OF the Qate)
German overseas empire.
Fifth. France has done something
for the welfare of her own people.
Few realize that hardly a trace OF
French warfare legislation, of care

"Uncle Remus'" Black
String Tie Still
Hangs on the Gas Jet

Atlanta, Ca, Dec. l7.-Atlanta
War Camp Community Service has
had the rare privilege OF opening
one OF this country's literary shrines
to our men in uniform. This is the
home of Joel Chandler Harris, the
author of the "Uncle Remus" sto-
ries, which with Washington r.
wings rip Van W;nkle," form vir-
tually our entire stock of folklore
tales. The big rambling house is
known as the "Wren's Nest" from
the following characteristic incident.
One day the children rushed in and
told the kindly writer that a wren
had built her nest in the battered old
box i'll which Harris mail was de-
posted. He hurried out and inter
cepted the postman, and forbade him
ever to put mail in it again.
you can leave my mail any
where he said; Il don't want to
break up home"
In all the windows OF the CID
house at PA Gordon street appear
the red circle of War Camp Com
munity Service, the sign of welcome
to all the soldiers in the world ex-
cept Germans, Austrians, Bulgarians
and Turks. Admission is free to
them, and they throng in at all
hours, but especially Saturday af-
ternoons and Sundays. Pictures OF
Uncle Remus'" friends, James
Whitcomb Riley, Theodore Roose-
welt, and Andrew Carnegie, adorn
the walls, and our men in Uniform
have the run OF the house-ali ex-
cept one room.
This is the room in which Harris
lived and wrote most of his Uncle
Remus tales. A wooden gate bars
the entrance and the room is kept
just as he left it. There is shc bed
he slept and died in. There is his
table, and on it his antiquated type
writer and the black Stetson hat
which he wore perpetually except az
meals. Beside them lie Uncle Re-
mus" spectacles, and against the
mantel lean his stout cane and an
cient umbrella. His black string tic
hangs on the gas jet where he put
it, and on the bureau his shaving
brush and razor strop are visible.
Everything is OF the utmost sim
plicity.
He was raised poor and liked
things simple" says the courteous
old gentleman who exhibits these
mementoes. why, Lazarus was
opulent compared to him in his |
early life"
The membership of the Uncle
Remus Association extends far and
wide, and at one time the Boston
members proposed to buy the house
and transfer it bodily to that city.
But Atlanta'S citizens rose in their
wrath and the house remains where
it was. A branch Carnegie library
where they can obtain books adds
to its attractions for the soldiers. OF
course, they all read the Uncle Re-
mus stories, and many of them can
quote the pathetic lines written in
his memory:
THE rabit will hide as he always hid,
And the fox will do as he always did,
But who will tell us what they say
Since Uncle Remus has gone away"

on the liberal side in international
affairs.
Ninth. French scholarship and
science has come abreast of German,
so that just before the war American
and English scholars were flocking
to the French universities as once
they did to the German. With Berg.
son and Boutroux. French philoso-
ply took the world leadership so
long held by Germany. The solid
achievements OF French thought IN
democratic institutions, bewailed by
so many French literary men as the
rule OF the mob, have been far great
er and more important than at any
previous period.
Finally. there has been a marked
and unmistakable spiritual and ethic-
al growth among the French pco
pie. Some of the poison OF the de-
cadent period has been eliminated
from the national literature. and we
have the wholesome romanticism 0f
Rostand and the strenuous moral
teaching OF Brieux instead OF the
"Fleurs du NAL Pasteur has dis
placed Napoleon as the national
ideal. The Frenchman at war, re-
tanning his old dash and enthusiasm.
has acquired a steadfast endurance
not marked in 1870, and yet surely
no growth of yesterday. The French
man at peace is better citizen than
his ancestors of the coup d'etat and
the commune. In every respect
France was a better country when
she faced the only enemy after a
generation OF the republic.

independent

The united German empire and
lhe Third French republic were born
during the war OF 1901. They
started at the same time on a career
of national development after some
three generations Of political eX-
pertinent and upheaval they started
fairly with equal area and approNi-
mately equal population. That the
German experiment had been a mar
yelous success was admitted almost
universally till the present war, and
in some respects (other than nor
aD it must be admitted more en-
phatically now than ever. So great
has been the material development
Of united Germany that it was the
fashion as recently as decade ago
10 moralize on the decline of French
power and prestige under democrat
ic institutions in contrast to the
rriumps of imperial Germany. Tie
population Of France remained prac-
tically stationary; that of Germany
increased by more than half as much
again. German industry, trade and
sea power overpassed French. Ger
many displaced France as the dom
inant military and diplomatic power
Of continental Europe. German was
gaining over French in the curric
ula of foreign schools. Many were in
haste to draw the conclusion that
democracy was necessarily a fail
ure. and that if France had stuck to
the Empire of Napoleon or had re-
stored the aristocratic traditions of
the Bourbons she might have held a
higher rank among the nations.
Even the harshest critics of
France admit that the last four years
have been the most glorious in her
history. But are these achievements
a sudden miracle or the legitimate
flower OF her years of peace under
the republic? Have we. perhaps,
been unjust to the accomplishments
of France between the two wars F.?
Just what has the Third Republic &C
complished to set over against the
imposing deeds OF the empire beyond
the Vosges?
Attained Political Stability.
First, then, France has attained
political stability. This seems
strange thing TO say OF a nation that
has had fifty-nine changes in min
istry, while Germany has had only
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1918-12-18

for the interest of the workers, OF
even the most ordinary freedoms oil
press and assemblage existed under
the rigid bureaucracy of the empire
While politicians were scuffling and
Journalists shouting, so that the list
ening world mistook French poll
tics for a form of light amusement
reform after reform was being en-
acted in law, and abuse after abuse
was being eliminated. The world
knows too little about the solid leg
islative work accomplished in France
underneath all the din and smoke OF
the perpetual "crisis.'
Sixth, France has eliminted from
politics, after struggle Of peculiar
bitterness and injustice on both
sides, the Church ISSUE" Since dis
establishment it is no longer neces-
sary, as once it seemed to be, to
choose between belief in Catholic
Christianity and belief in Christian
political system, between the rights
of God and the rights of man. Ger
many has not yet taken this enlight-
ened step, and has ahead of her
many 4 bitter fight over the rival
claims OF church and state.
Seventh, France has eliminated
militarism. The battle between the
claim of the army to rule the nation,
and the claim of the nation to rule
the army was fought to finish in
the Dreyfuss case, and the victory
for the civil power was SO complete,
that the issue has never been re-
vived. In France Poincare and Glenn
enceau, the civilians, rule, and Gen
eral Foch is their honored guest. In
Germany Hindenburg and Luden-
dorff, the generals, have ruled, and
the chancellor was only their pup
pet.
Ethics in Public Policy.
Eighth, France has introduced
ethics into public policy. 1t was not
conspicuous in the days when Ma
poleon plotted Mexican empire or
schemed to annex Belgium; it was
not prominent in the beginnings OF
French overseas empires But under
the republic France has sought
peace, has endured insults and in
juries from Germany for the sake of
peace, has fought openly and hon
orably in strictest self-defense, has
her colonies with ali
eye to the welfare OF the natives,
and has generally cast her influence

Rambling Around
Political Ranges

The woman suffrage amendment is
one vote short in the senate, and
the women have gone out to get
that vote. They are on the trail OF
three Senators-Gay, the new sem
ator from Louisiana, Borah of Ida
ho, and Moses OF New Hampshire.
Gay and Borah are said to favor
suffrage as state proposition, but
are against it as an amendment to
the federal constitution. Moses has
replied TO an inquiry as to how he
will vote on the amendment that he
will vote as he desires. The sui
fragists have until March next, in
which to win the one vote they need.
If that vote is not obtained by that
time they must begin all over again,
with another house of representa-
tives.
Governor Whitman of New York |
has failed in his effort to prevent the |
issuance of a certificte of election
to Alfred f. Smith, his opponent for
the governorship in the November
election, and Mr.. Smith will be in
augurated on Jan. |. The governors |
contention was for an inspection OF
the ballots before the issuance of
certificate of election, but the courts
decisions were against him. What
further steps, if any, he will now
take to contest Mr.. Smiths election
can only be conjectured. 1t is est-
mated that Smiths majority over the
governor, when the soldier vote is
counted, will be about 10000.
