Clernenceau Will Rest.

N01HEN the peace conference is over,
\VAVI Clemenceau says it is his purpose
wv to retire from active political life
and write a book. For so years he has
given all his powers to the service of his
country, and he feels that he needs and has
earned a right to rest little and do what
he likes.
Undoubtedly he has earned rest, but no
one who is familiar with his history but
will feel sense of loss if he retires from
public activity. His courage and wisdom
and his Astounding sense of humor make
him figure in million.
perhaps no one will read the book" he
says, in his quaint, modest way, "but it is a
book that I shall be glad to have written
He need have no fear that the book will
lack readers. It will be JOY unquestionS
able to read such history as he has been
making, with his pungent comments; and
though France and the world may lose in
one way by his retirement from public life
they will gain in another; for no man is
better fitted to write living history than

There is no special significance because
of the amount of money involved, which is
comparatively small, or, for that matter,
because of the immediate objective, but
the gratifying thing is that there is dis
closed united Boise!
We wonder If our citizens really under
stand what that means-the people acting
as one, for if the election had not been con-
fined to property owners tho result would
have been the same. The spirit is here
among all classes-the upbuilding spirit.
With such a sentiment there is no goal
within reason that this city cannot reach,
and that statement applies with equal
force to the surrounding territory and to
all Idaho. The identical spirit of progress
