Speech in Chamber Itself.

President and Cabinet Officers

Georges Clemenceau, FRENCH
Tiger" will not be permitted to
speak from the Senate rostrum
in reply to attacks made upon
him by Senators Borah and
Hitchcock for his imperialistic
policies.
The technical reason, as sup
piled by Senator Lodge yester-
day, is that Clemenceau came to
this country solely in the ,capac-
ity Of q private citizen Of
France, and possesses no Off
'cial status whatever.
RULES OF SENATE.
The rules Of the Senate, Lodge
explained. make 1t impossible fol
Citizen Clemenceau to make q
speech in that forum.
When a suggestion was made
that the rules of the Senat, might
perhaps be stretched a Bit, 1t wa.
received without enthusiasm.
President Harding gave a lunch
con in Clemenceau's honor yester
day which was attended by Vic'
President Coolidge. the Cabine
headed by Secretary of Stat'
Hughes, Chief Justice and former
President Taft, Speaker Giilett o
the House. and former Ambassador
to France Henry White.
PLEASED AFTER LUNCH.
The old statesman seemed highl,
pleased when he left the White
House. His remaSks at tn
luncheon were not made public
but those who have been with hin
on his tour are sure he did no
overlook the opportunity to pre-
sent his defense of France and at
tack on Germany.
II is equally certain that whil'
his remarks were listened TO will
respeat and interest. they fell upol
politically deaf ears.
This was his only engagement
of a rainy, miserable day. He re
turned Immediately to the Whit
residence. where he secluded him

afternoon. when he delivers hi

SCIENTIFIC TEMPERANCE
IN KENYON PUBLIC SCHOOL

The national organization of the
Woman's Christian Temperance
Union have arranged temperance
essay and poster contest, furnishing
subjects and how to conduct these
contests in their leaflets which they
have endeavored to place in every
school in the State. The teachers
have been and are urged to take this
scientific temperance instruction in
to their schools. as a part of their
| regular curriculum, thus requiring
no extra effort or time. Tho essays
can be worked into the English aud
reading lessons, and posters as busy
work for the little felix's, who always
seem to enjoy it more than play.
Temperance is now and has always
been the most essential feature in all
our life. Surely there is no n ore eff
ective way in which to teach it than
the one mentioned.
This work has been introduced in

work, and were the busiest little

magazines, catalogues and picture
books for suggestions. They did good
work for their grades.
