THE LAWS AND THE VERITIES

Hon. Jonathan Bourne jr., says,
 Every ancient maxim contains a wealth of truth. If it had not contained truth it would not have survived long enough to become either a maxim or ancient. Here, for instance, is the old saying that 'one man can lead horse toI water, but ten men can't make him drink In those words we have statement of truth that should be hung upon the walls of bureaucracy'sl offices in Washington, where officaldom has gone mad with the desire to tell all creation how to live and move and have it's being. Just now we have in mind the visionary schemes to put returned soldiers on farms. Officialdom can lead million soldiers up to the land but it can't make them farm. Canada has tried it and has failed. If Uncle Sam also tries it, he will also fail. This is not saying that none of the re- turned soldiers will go to the farm. great many of them will. But they will go there of their own accord and not through the leadership of an official who is careful to keep away from the soil himself.
 ''The trouble with the present autocratic ad- mnstration is that it tells the returning soldiers to go to the farms and then does everything pos sible to keep them away Hours of labor and wages are made as attractive possible in cities or on railroads, while conditions remain practi- cally unchanged in the country. In fact, condi- tions are less attractive for the farmer who must hire some help, for he finds increasing difficulty in persuading men to leave the city to work on farm.
 "The whole policy of this administration has been one of attempted overthrow of economic law-an effort to prevent water seeking its level, an effort to dislocate the center of gravity, an effort to remake human nature by law or execu- tive edict. Price-fixing, government operation, artificial and inequitable wage scales, are illus trations of the determination of self-constituted omnipotents to perform modern miracles. The performances have taken place-their miracu- lous character has not become apparent for the reason that the eternal law of compensation is still in operation and the country is paying in one form or another for the attempt to set aside natural law. ..
 Whenever the governmental "back-to-the- farm" bureaus find themselves embarrassed by a flood of resignations from employees who are quitting government jobs to go on the farms, we may expect to find soldiers Hooking to agri- cultural occupations. Until then, soldiers will go to the farms when they feel so disposed, just as horse will drink when he's thirsty"

THE DIFFERENCE

John Brown Smith, the successful business man. imports the materials for his clothing, and shirts, and underwear from several parts of Flu rope. Anything under six cylinders and real plush upholstery is beneath his consideration. He thinks, sleeps, works, and enjoys himself in big figures. N.-.....
 John Smith, the plodder, wears the cheapest grade of ready-made clothing. He hopes, some day. to own a secondhand runabout. He thinks, sleeps, eats, and enjoys himself always with a watchful eye to his manifold responsibilities and a slowly growing rainy day fund.
 The real difference between the two Smiths, however, is this:
 John Brown Smith subscribes to a Victory Liberty loan with check for sum which would keep him in highballs, cigars and dinners for one month. He is not exactly ungracious about it, but he expresses the belief that the wars end makes unnecessary any further loan issues and hopes "this is the last"
 John Smith confers with the real head of the family and grins when he discovers he can take on a bigger load than he at first had anticipated by pairing his own weekly budget trifle more. So he makes the first payment on two bonds in- stead of one and gets quite cheerful about it.
 Great stuff" he says, "bring on some more bond issues."

It is said that whatever that is, means where all cousins, aunts sisters, brother in-aws unces are immediately put on the pay roll as soon as fellow gets position where he portions out the jobs. Things have got along that way in this state ever since statehood and the people had commenced to think it was the law. Recently, he ordered that his force in the state engineers office work eight hours day. First thing one knows this thing of regular hours will make it necessary to cut down his force, while the people have been educated to believe political job is for the purpose of cutting down the hours and increasing the force on the pay roll.

and stalwart beliefs many subjects he be-
bequeathed to his son a powerful and vigorous
bodily constitution.
Visits the United States
Unhelped by his subject, Mr.. Hyndman is unable
to give details of Georges Clemenceaus youth
The boy went to school at Nantes and then to hos
pital there to study medicine. In 1860 at the age
of 10 he went to Paris for further hospital work.
There two years later, he got two months i'm
prisonment for exhibiting political sentiment not
suited to a subject of Napoleon III. In 1865 he
got his doctors degree. His formal essay at the
time proved not only that he had worked hard ON
the lines of his profession but that he capable
of taking an original view of the subjects he had
mastered. " In 1866, after visiting England, the
25-year-Od came to the United States, where he
taught French at Stamford CONNECTICUT, and rode
horseback with the young ladies of the school. OF
these Miss Mary Pummer betrothed to him.
And on his return to France he became a working
class doctor in the Montmartre district of Paris.

answer to all questions hurled at
Georges Clemenceau, called the Tiger
of France, by those who doubted,
those who were dismayed, those who
trembled in the early half of 1918.
Always he has made war; the record
of the half century of his public life
is record of perpetual battle. FL. NJ.
Hyndman, a British Socialist, has
just put that record on paper In a
volume called CLemenceau: The Man
and His Time. 1t is a remarkable
biography because it is only partly
biography; what Mr.. Hyndman has
actually written is vivid "interpre-
tation" of French history from about
1910 to the present day. Let us say,
first, few words about this very in
tcresting book itself.
AS a curious commentary on pub
fishing conditions in England and
this country We may note that Mr..
Hyndman s book is being put out in
England at something over So, but at

in his attitude toward a vigorous
prosecution of the war against Ger
