POLICY
STRONGLY UNHELD
Riotous Opposition Succeeds In
MarshaIling Only 100 Voices
in Test of Confidence.

Paris.-The Chamber Of Deputies, by
q vote OF 4S4 to 100, gave Premier
Polncare a lice nand to continue to
direct the foreign policy Of France
along the lines he has pursued since
he assumed power.
The vote also approved the govern
ment's attitude at the Genoa confer
ence. left the government the sole
judge as to whether France shall be
represented at he Hague conference
and reserved TO the government the
right to act alone toward Germany In
case Of fragrant violation Of the Yer
sailles treaty.
The vote came after one Of the most
stormy sessions ever witnessed In the
French chamber, which has been the
scene OF many bitter debates
Evidence of the influence OF Polncare
over the chamber was shown when the
questions as 20 priority OF the numer-
Gus orders OF the day came up. M.
Herriot, leader of the Radical party,
Insisted that his order OF the day re-
garding international loans should
have priority. To this Poincan OBJ
jeeted, and the chamber voted 420 10
LAB agains Herriot, but when the
straight order Of the day, involving a
vote of confidence in the government,
was put before the chamber, the oppo-
sltion vote was reduced to loo, while
that Of the supporters Of the govern
ment was increased 20 4s4.
NJ Herriot had charged the Premier
with being responsible for the question
Of international loans not being put
being put before the Genoa conference.
The Premier replied he had refused to
bring up the question because he was
convinced Il was too closely and dan.
gerously associated with that Of the
German debt.

children? Too often we are careless
and blunt hurting sensitive littl.
feelings and often making il twice Al
hard for children to be good and kiao
because we are 20 untactful.
On a pretty suburban street there
were ten boys who played together
and problems Of property rights often
came up. Every time a mother ap-
preached the boys in frierdly, reas-
enable spirit, the boys responded, and
there was no trouble. One day a
mother looked out Of the window 70
see two boys fighting furiously over
her smooth back lawn, while an adj
miring crowd Of playmates gathered
near. She thought minute and the.i
went out and stepped up to the an
tagonists, and said goodnatuedly Il
don't like to have my pretty lawn torn
up, SO would you boys please go over
to the vacant lot across the street to
finish your fight? You see, this is my
land and | can't have you fighting
here, but there is plenty Of room over
there"
The boys stopped minute, looked
at each other, then each slowly grin

the whole crowd moved amiably up
the street without finishing the fight.
Children do not like to be talked
over as il they had no ears, and they
are hurt and sntagonized when their
likes and dislikes are laughed at or
their mistakes ridiculed.
A little girl, whose family had in

We would not dare treat our friends

children that way when we need TO be

friendship of little children is one of
the sweetest, most precious gifts with
which life can bless US, and unto the
tactful shall it BE given.

FORMER HOLD
Chief Of the Democratic Ma
tionaI Committee Issues
Letter to Press
of the Nation.
BY RICHARD LINTi1CuM,
(Special CorresDondent.)

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-The great
Democratic victory of November 7th,
accurately forecasted by Chairman
Cordell Hull OF the Democratic Ma
'tional Committee, marks the begin
ming of the return of the people to
the Democratic party and the resto-
ration of that party to complete
power in 1924 1t is more than q
protest against Republican incom-
potency and failure. 1t is a repudl-
alton OF the major policies which
the present reactionary Republican
Congress and administration-the
most reactionary in history-ha
advocated and listed upon the PEG
pie. It is reputation OF tariff
robbery, OF tax-shifting and tax
Juggling, of Gewberryism, Daugher-
tyism and Laskerism, of reckless APP
preparation and extravagant expendl-
ture, of the alliance between the
reactionary leaders of the Repub-
lican party and special privilege and
system in government departments.
In many of its features the cleo
ton was a personal rebuke to Pres
ident Harding himself. The Repub-
ilican candidate for Governor of Ohio
who is supposed to have won his
nomination by reason of being an
administration favorite, was defeated

than his defeat would have been,
and q recount OF the votes in Massa-
chuaetts may add to his humiliation.
There were minor casualties in the
presidential coterie.
President Harding had definitely
committed himself to the Republican
policies and candidates that were on
tri2l. He spoFe for them by the
lips OF his cabinet officers. He
gave every sign that he regarded
the result as either approval or dis
approval OF the Republican admins
istration'S acts and omissions. The
supreme court of the electorate has
given it's decision. Mr.. Harding
aad the Republican Congress stand
condemned for the future no less
than for the past.
One thing lacking in the election
Iof Nov was the failure to give,
the Democrats substantial ma
jority in the House. A small Ret
publican majority in the Houses'
however, is equivalent to a Demb-
cratic victory. The balance of pow,

radicals who are as much opposed.
to Republican reactionism as thej
Democrats.
Republican reactionism has been
checked but not destroyed. The
work so auspiciously began Noyem-
