Clemenceau's Great Day

Clemenceau's years are many, his |
labors have been heavy and officeholding !
has few attractions for him; he would
retire.
"We have waited forty-nine years."
he says, 'for this moment" France is
again free. Since 1870 she has lived
in the shadow of great and warranted
fear. She has seen the Prussian's heavy
foot about to trample her down. AL
Lorraine concerned her, but greater
has been her concern for the safety of
her mutilated remainders. Her thought
has not been Of revonche, although she
deemed it due, but of self-defence.
Four men are sure of place in his
tory as the saviors Of France, and,
through France, as the saviors of
ivilizatiop-Clemencea and Delcasse,
Joffre and Foch. One was creator of
morale, the next laid the diplomatic
foundations of success, and the other two
were soldiers.
Clemenceau saw Germany as she was,
pierced her design, knew what she would
do No crazy Boulanger or Deroulede,
but, earnest and clear thinking, he be-
Held the peril soberly. He devoted his
ne to arousing among the French peo-
pie an unconquerable spirit of resistance
and to providing them with weapons and
discipline and allies. He did not belittle
Gcrmany's strength, and was equally i'm
patient with those who opposed her with
bon mots or did not see that France must
harden herself. His dissatisfaction with
successive ministries was their failure to
keep the main thing steadily in mind.
Clemenceau has been described as a
swashbuckler, as blunt and tempestu-
Gus realist and imperialst. In truth his
culture is high and his ideals are noble;
and SO little is he imperialist that he
struggled to make the French people
more democratic and to trust them. The
Hohenzollern method was to make a man
q machine; Clemenceau's method was
to make him free. He pitted the spirit
against mechanics, and events vindicated
him. The poilu, responding not so much
to the orders Of his officers as to his
own inner commands, won the war.
To a statesman Of vision and de-
termination the French people turned
when the crisis came. They knew he
would stick and believed he would com
municate his energy to others. HI
made few mistakes, because his purpose
never wavered and because he looked at ,
great business simply. That old gray
hat, with the i'll dressed figure beneath
it, bobbed in and out of trenches be
cause its wearer knew the trench holder
must win the war, if it was to be won
and because he knew it was necessar,
for them to know the home folks wer,
with them heart and soul. No wonde
Clemencsau is beloved alike by soldie
and civilian!
Victory having come, Clemencea,
devoted himself to effort not to lose tn
victory at the peace table. He under
stands and is sympathetic toward peac
organization; but the world must b
made safe, and the facts about German
are notorious. Not to crush any one
but to insure against barbarism agai
becoming crusher, he guarded tn
peace. While willinesto give German

This is what was 'coiled in the flag.
During the last six months of the war
it burned incense at the feet of the gov

And now it strikes, not in anger, not
for revenge, but in the fulfilment Of it's
true ophidian nature.

CORONER'S JURY
INVESTIGATES
Sister of Girl Whose BODY was Found
in Trunk, Refuses TO Answer
Questions From
Jury.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.1
LAWTON, Mich, Dec. 2.-Joseph
Virgo, former sweetheart Of Maud
Faith Tabor, whose body was found
in trunk in the basement Of the
Tabor home, was brought here early
today to tell the coroner's jury Of
his relations with the dead. woman.
Virgo was apprehended in Chicago.
He was formerly an undertaken and
embalmer here.
He had charge of many business
deals for her aged mother, Sarah
Tabor, and for the brother Of the
dead woman, Walter, who are being
sought in connection with the case.
Friends stated the mother and son
are believed touring in California.
Mrs. Florence Tabor Critchlow,
sister OF Maud, who refused 10
answer any questions when summon
ed before the coroner's jury, was
held in jail here today as witness.
Practically all acquaintances of the
Tabor family agree that Maud disap.
peared in the summer of 1915. This
is disputed by DR.. w. r. Young. who
declared she called at his office for
treatment early in 1916.
DR.. Young stated examination of
the body proved the woman was
about to become mother at the
very hour when she met her death.

necessity These taxes performed in
Irresponsible service during the war.
They must, however, be simplified

1T is OF the utmost Importance that
in dealing with this matter the pres

far as regards taxes for the calendar

slider whether the higher rates OF in
come and profits taxes can in peace
times be effectively productive of rev.
enue, and whether they may not, on
the contrary be destructive of busi-
ness activity and productive of waste
and inefficiency There is point at
which in peace times high rates OF
income and profits taxes discourage
energy, remove the incentive TO new
enterprise, encourage extravagant ex-
penditures and produce Industrial
stagnation with consequent unemploy-
ment and other attendant evils.
Not an Easy Problem.
"The problem is not an easy one. A
fundamental change has taken place
with reference to the position OF
America in the worlds affairs. The
prejudice and passions engendered by
decades Of controversy between two
schools of political and economic
thought-the one believers in protec-
tions of American industries; the
other believers in tariff for revenue
only-must be subordinated to the
single consideration OF public interest
in the light of utterly changed condi-
tions. Before the war. America was

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2.-The text
Of the presidents message to con-
gress follows:

resentatiyes:

present at the, opening OF this ses-
sion of congress. 1 am tnus prevent

as | could wish the many questions
that are pressing for solution at this
time. Happily, l have had the ad-
vantage of the advice OF heads OF
several legislatives departments who
have kept in close touch with affairs
in their detail and whose thoughtful
recommendations l earnestly second.
In the matter of the railroads and
the readjustment of their affairs
growing out of federal control, l
shall take the liberty at later date
OF addressing you.
81 hope that congress viii bring TO
a conclusion at this session leglsla-
ton looking to the establishment OF
a budget system. That there should
be one single authority responsible
for the making of all appropriations
and that appropriations should be
made not Independently of each other
but with reference to one single COM
prehensive plan of expenditure prop
erly related to the nations income,
there can be no doubt. l believe the
burden of preparing the budget must
in the nature of the case, If the work
is to be properly done and RESPONSE
bility concentrated instead of divided,
rest upon the executive. The budget
so prepared should be submitted to
and approved or amended by a single
committee of each house Of congress
and no single appropriation should be
made by the congress except such
as may have been included in the
budget prepared by the executive or
added by the particular committee of
congress charged with the budget
Legislation.
Another and not less important
aspect of the problem is the ascar-
tainment of the economy and eff
cheney with which the moneys ap-
propriated are expended. Under
