southwestern France, which was then
a royalist centre. He was often
greeted with pitch forks.
i After studying medicine Clemen.
ceau went to England and later to
the United States where he visited
every city of Importance and studied
American institutions. He speaks
English huently.
Clemenceau, returning to France
was mayor of Mortmarte at 80.
Then he was elected to the cham
Der of deputies. AS an anti-impertal
ist he there fought frances partici-
patton in the British-Egyptian cam
paign. He was accused Of taking
British gold for letting England have
a free hand and lost his seat In the
chamber.
For ten years Clemenceau's adver.
saries thought him politically dead,
but he was merely preparing for re
entry into the arena. He founded
two or three newspapers, wrote sew
eral books and then quite suddenly
came back This time he was
elected to the senate.
Clemenceau was premier at the
time of the Casablanca affair between
France and Germany when, for a
time, war appeared to be inevitable.
Germany had insisted upon an
apology from France and the latter.
as Germany and everybody knew,
was In no position of war. But
Clemenceau sent back this message:
"Tell them there will be no
apology" And there was none.
The premier met with one serious
defeat in politics and that was ad-
ministered by President Poincare. 1t
is said Clemenceau will never for
give Poincare for winning the pres'-
dency over the Clemenceau candi-
date, NJ. PANS.
After the peace prelfminarfes got
under way Clemenceau created an
embarrassing situation by telling
chamber deputies he is in favor Of
retention Of ''ba lance OF power" sys-
tenn at precisely the same time
President Wilson was telling the
British in Manchester that the "bal-
ance of power" must give way to the
league of nations. It has since de-
yeIoped that Clemenceau merely was
seeking to obtain guarantees for
Frances future security against ag-
gression.l
Dangerous Wound.
PARIS, Feb 19.-According to
latest available information (noon)
the bullet lodged in Clemenceau's
back, near the spine, and 1t was
feared the wound was more danger
GUS than at first reported, especially
because of danger Of diabetes devel-

to be taken this afternoon.

We are the architect of
the house in which we
must live. The way we plan
and build will determine
whether we are to be happy
or unhappy in our resi-
dence.
With simplicity as the
keystone, flanked with truth
and honesty, one is pretty
sure of an existence that
will be both pleasant and
worth while.
A store is just like a
man.
If it is built of the baser
things of life. such as un-
truthfulness, deceit. selfish
ness, etc, it soon becomes
a bore for even those who
built it. Size, volume of
business, even beauty of
building can no more ease
the conscience of the
owner of such a store than
can fine clothes or popu-
1arity still the accusing
voice of mans inner self
after having committed a
crime against the laws of
humanity.
Truly, we live as we

 Real Americans should be ready at all times to aid Uncle Sam with their money because the Old Man is not unreasonable.
 Of all the advertising reading that appears on the various posters, the one that strikes with the most force is the one picturing Uncle Sam with hand scales weighing us. Underneath it says: Do you weigh 100 per cent? You are on the scales of Americanisln. You can't weigh up to standard unless you subscribe to the Vic tory Loan" And you can't For the simple rea- son that the job is unfinished. and Americans are no quitters.

HOIST BY HIS OWN PETARD

Politically and personally, Wickersham is the best" advertiser who ever came north. He knows no rule of fairness or political honor which he will observe minute longer than it serves his interests to do so. and there is no advantage he will not take; no length he will not go to obtain credit or hurt an opponent.
 However this is probably the reason he has worn out his welcome and his ''pull' in Alaska He has the ability which would enable a kinder man to remain delegate of Alaska forever but he cannot think of others or refrain from trying to hurt somebody. It is recited in his own home town where he is best understood and where study has been made of his acts in the long years he was there, that it is impossible to recall the name of another man who never has a word to say in favor of any other man on earth at any time or many place It is called to mind that in the long years he was on the Bench here, never in a single instance in sentencing some poor devil to long terms of Imprisonment did he ever find a word of kindness to say to the convicted man, but rather addedto the mans punishment by "balling him out and in the mans hour of trial when he had no possible protection against in suit being added to punishment. This last play of writing private letter to cabinet officer and then giving copy of it to the press of the coun- try; the making of charges which it would be
 possible to substantiate; the intimation that John E. Ballaine yves ever thought of as a di- rector of the Alaska government railway under Secretary Lane and the kind words Wick says of Ballaine whom he knows no Alaskan has any use for or confidence in his Alaskanism is an in- dcation of the political Machaevesm of Wick ersham which makes him the menace he always will be to Alaska and has finally reduced his vot ing sterngth until it is no longer formidable in Alaska-hoist by his own petard.-Fairbanks- News-Miner

The deputies have performed every task asked of them cheerfully and willingly; but in many cases it has been an impossibilty to ask their help With a body of constabulary patterned along the lines of the Mounted Police the two offices could work together, the deputies attending to the Fe- deral end of the business and the constabulary looking after territorial matters. In this way, the people of Alaska would be doubly protected, and aid could reach the afflicted much more quickly and with less governmental red tape- Valdez Miner.
