Clemenceau's Case

.~ Cincinnati Enquircr)
 Clemenceaus reply the address of Cuers sug- 'ssling him for the next President of the Republic trance did not assume tone of false modesty in iecinfng the honor The Premier who saved his coun- ry by his indomitable energy does not relish the prospect Of being scarcely than figurehead which the French Constitution confines the Pres deht in fact, he is such thorough Republican nat public honors have charm for him.
 when he assumed the Premiership during the var he did not aspire to it and made effort to ob ain It. The office sought the man, not the man ne office, and he assumed the responsibility from sense or duty and not from wish for distinction.
 Ihe situation of France before entrance into ne war was so desperate that many of those who eemed available for the Premiership declined to erve But Clemenceau had confidence in his coun. ry and In himself Despair is unknown to his fiery ature, and the result justified the universal hope nd expectation that if it at all possible to ave France such salvation could only come through Iemenceau.
 The Premier intmated in his speech at Cuers his esire to return to the editors desk, and by saying hat he could do better work In his office than in he Presidential chair at the Elyesse he has exper. ence to support this view. For many decades Clem- nceau's the most influential factor in mold ng the pubic opinion of France, and the glamour f Presidential dignity does not blind him to his 'ish to return to the sanctum where he did such fficicnt work for his country.

ENTHUSIASM

Enthusiasm is one of the most desirable of Gla1- itics! It attracts people you and causes them tC cooperate with you.
 Enthusiasm is the spark which touches off that dormant power which is housed in your brain and puts 1t into action.
 Enthusiasm is sure antidote for laxiness and procrastinat ton; it is the man-spring which keeps your mental machinery in action.
 Enthusiasm overcomcs despondency and gener- ates hope, self-condence and courage. Enthusiasm stirs up your liver and puts it to work. thereby helping it carry it's vital function of cleansing your blood.
 Enthusiasm your whole being and causes you to transform your dreams into reality!
 If you are not enthusiastic your work you do not love it, therefore you trying to perform work for which you are fitted
 Enthusiasm is contagious. Unconsciously you pass 1t on to those with whom you come in contact ana 1t arouses them to act and think you do.
 An enthusiastic person. when guided by sense ol justice toward others is usually great asset Ill any organization business family community.
