within the conventional metes and
bounds Of the office; though it
would probably have chafed and
fretted him to do so. There can
be little doubt that he would have
felt that he was making a sacrifice
of himself, when such a sacrifice was
not needed. His own inclination
was to remain out of the office; and
his unfailing philosophy will save
| him from feeling any of the sting Of
| ingratitude which others will per-
ceive in Frances treatment of him.
He retires to private life with an as
sured place in history greater than
that of any president of France,
save one.
To say that is not, however, to be-
little the office, which is second in
dignity to no other, and which is in
vested with immense opportunities
and powers for advancing the good
OF the French nation and Of the
world Nor in dwelling upon the
l extraordinary services which M.
Olemenceau has rendered to France
can there be any thought of ignor-
ing or minimizing the exceptional
worth of NJ Paul Deschanel. Indeed,
in character, in intellect, in success
full experience in the chief depart
ments OF government, he stands pre-
eminent among his contemporaries
as qualified for the high office to
which he has been elected. He has
more than once clashed sharply with
M. Clemenceau. Yet 1t would not
be easy to find two men more in ac-
cord in devotion to the true inter-
ests of Republican France or In
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1920-01-29
FRANCES NEW pREsrDENT

M. Georges Clemenceau Is prob
ably the least surprised and most
contented man in France today.
Many of his friends are bitterly dis
appointed. Millions of his admir-
ers all over the world are surprised
beyond expression. Three days
before the election it was unhesitat-
ingly assumed that he would be chos-
en- president of France with prac-
tically no opposition; an achieve
ment which, it was recognized,
would be honorable to France in the
highest degree. Yet on the pre-
liminary test of strength, he was
decisively beaten; wherefore, OF
course, he withdrew from the con-
test. We cannot regard that as
creditable to France. There was
no gift, no honor, within her pow.
er to bestow which she did not owe
to the man who had been her in.
SEPARATION to victory Yet it may be
that 1t was for the best. 1t is quite
probable that M. Clemenceau him
self thinks so.
For it is difficult to imagine q
place of comparable distinction less
suited to his temperament and his
genius than the presidency OF
France. He can say with Brown
ing, 81 was ever a fighter" But
the presidency is not the place for a
fighter. That was why Theirs
found it so uncomfortable, and why
MacMahon found it intolerable. 1t
is to be assumed that il he had
been elected M. Clemenceau would
have been able to restrain himself
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1920-01-29

their ideals for her security and her
greatness. By temperament and
training M. Deschanel is indeed bet
ted fitted for the presidency than M.
Clemenceau would have been and at
any time before his achievements in
the war gave M. Clemenceau his
unique distinction as the veritable
political savior of France, there is
no doubt that M. Deschanel would
have been the favorite candidate for
the office.
OF this we may feel assured, that
under NJ Deschanel the French Re-
public will be no less secure than 1t
has been under M. Poincare or than
it would be under NJ Clemenceau.
OF this, also, we are assured, that
there will be no impairment of
Frances cordial relations with this
country, since no Frenchman of his
day feels more warmly toward the
United States than does M. Paul
Deschanel.'

BRYAN CONTINUES BLIGHTING
ATTACK ON PARTY LEADERS

Further evidence of the peace and
harmony which prevails within the
democratic household has been given
by William Jennings Bryan in re-
cent speech at Richmond, Va.
Attacking Homer Cummings, ma
tional democratic chairman, Mr..
Bryan declared Mr.. Cummings must
either separate from Governor Ed
wards of New Jersey or resign the
national craftsmanship. Bryan call
ed attention to the fact that Nation
al Chairman Cummings had sat
down at the banquet board with
Governor Edwards of New Jersey,
who has announced his candidacy
for president.
Mr. Bryan arraigned Governor
Edwards for his opposition to pro-
hibition and National Chairman
Cummings for his apparent support
of Governor Edwards. Mr.. Bryan
said he would not join with Mr. Ed
wards in trying to turn the demo-
cratic party over to the liquor in
terests.

an, of National Chairman Cummings

Inc. foregoing startling Indictment of

this brainy speaker, that the $50 girls

herently or hopelessly bad. but they are
daily exemplifying in their lives much
that is actually good and they are po-
tentially filled with much more of the

are gradually changing these latent

ones"

was distinctive, not only because OF a
rather pretty face and figure, bat be-
cause of certain air about her which
MADE one think of heroines in popular
novels. pictures in fashion books, a
successful business woman and a debu-
tante all at once. In that crowd OF
bewildered foreigners, disgruntled and
complaining Americans, shabby EN-
ployers and immaculate clerks, dowdy
women and fashionable young girls, this
girl stood out marked by her lively
interest in everything going on about
her, her smiling eyes, her buoyancy Of
spirit shown in her very carriage, and
her youth.
Was she a carefree young business
girl ION her own?' Or was she a young
woman OF leisure living on an income
from investments, Or perhaps young
wife taking care of her husbands
taxes2 Before a decision could be
formed the line had progressed and the
girl was being questioned by the clerk
Privacy is an unknown thing to some
people and although the girl answered
the questions In a low tone the clerk
repeated her answers in a. voice audible
to any who might be listening, 1t was
his voice which answered all the ques-
tons which had been inspired by the
looks OF The Girl.
Amazing, indeed, was the informa-
ton. That sweet young girl was the
sole support of an invalid mother and
her salary was $500 no more, nor less
OF that sum she had given $50 to Red
Cross and charity and she had two
government bonds. All of that on $1,000
year!
The girl finished swearing to the truth
OF her report and went her way. What
did she do? How did she manage?
Surely she was undergrad, whatever
she did. Anyone who could manage like
that was capable OF big things and
would surely be a good investment for
any office. Perhaps she only worked
part time in order to be able to care
for her mother.
Aside from her accomplishments as
manager she had done something else
She made the clerk and the woman
next In line think. The clerk voiced
his opinion by saying, Some people
are lucky, no tax to pay" The woman
looked at her own report showing $40
to charity, no dependents, and blushed
for shame.
