France Sustains Po;ncare

rTHOSE who were predicting a reaction
against M. Poincare's foreign policies
will have hard time explaining the
results Of the recent French elections. or
the one hundred and sixteen senatorial seats
to be filled, only two or three passed from
the Premier's friends to his political foes.
This is the more significant In that he
took no aggressive part in the contest, but
left the voters to arrive at their own ver-
dict. Whatever turn of fortune the new
year may bring him-and it is not likely
that he will escape the reverses to when
politicians are fated-for the present, az
least, he continues dominant.
This does not imply that all Frenchmen
or even majority approve M. Poincare's
policies as an entirety. There are many,
1t may be, who feel that his course in the
European situation might have been more
liberal and yet have have lost nothing in
firmness in effectiveness. Certainly,
there are many who oppose that bloc or
militarist sentiment which would if it could,
lmDue their country With the very spirit
which spurred Germany on to ruthless ad-
ventures for conquest. But the rank ana
file of the French people, peace-loving as
they are, undoubtedly believe that to take
Premier Poncare from the helm at this
juncture would be to hazard much If nov
all that his insistence upon due PREPARATIONS
has won.
While the net result Of his thrust into
the Ruhr is yet to be seen, 1t undeniabIy
has strengthened Frances strategic position
Germany has abandoned passive resistance
Her industrial magnates seem much more
amenable to arguments for the payment,
one way or another, of indemnities which
they once encouraged their government to
resist. Her public also is apparently con-
vinced that the war penalties must be faced
Further, an international conference, IN
which the United States will have represent
atives Is soon to begin canvassing the rep
arations problem, particularly with a view
to means and methods of German payment.
With this much achieved and with so much
yet to be settled, Poincare naturally strikes
France as being the man to keep on the
job

AS YOU FALL ASLEEP
BY H. Addington Bruce

J ~~~'NN-N~SS
tn HERE seems to be growing tendency
today to decry oratory. Typical is the
declaration:
eff you are going to speak in public,
make it a point to speak simply. State your
facts as you would in conversation.
"Talk to your audience, don't crate at 1t.
The day of the orator is done"
Yet the day of the true orator, most en-
phatically, is not done.
And by the true orator l mean the speak
er who, sincerely stirred by emotions reused
by the subject Of his discourse, yields suf-
fciently to these emotions to use language
evoking responsive sentiments in those who
hear him. There always has been, there al
ways will be, demand for oratory of this
kind.
What there is not a demand for, is ora
tory that reflects a mere mim1cklng OF emo
ton, and oratory INDUCED in when 1T is real
" out Of place. There are many subjects
concerning which 1t IS absurd 1or d speaker
to wax oratorical.
Still. even in the case Of these subjects
audiences do not relish a dead-leyeI delivery.
Well chosen pauses, the introduction OF anec-
dotes, asides, etc., that provide resting
places for the mind, are always welcome and
go to enhance a speakers reputation.
When on the other hand, the subject Is
such as to have legitimate emotional ap-
peal that speaker is derelct who does not
recognize this and react to 1t oratorlcaIly-
when he can sincerely do so. Woe to him,
though, if he insincerely ventures into ora
tory 1t were better far for him to be a
speaker of the dead-level school,
Always sincerity is among the indispensa-
bles to successful oratorical speaking. AS
stressed by one most competent teacher Of
speaking in public
at said of an eminent British orator
that when one heard him speak in public,
one instinctivey felt that there was some
thing finer in the man than in anything he
said.
THEREIN lies the key to successful ora
tory.
when the truth Of your message is deep
Iy engraved on your own mind; when your
own heart has been touched as by a living
flame; when your own character and person
atty testify to the innate sincerity and no.
bility of your life, then your speech will be
truly eloquent and men will respond to your
fervent appeal"
Here is something for every public speaker
to remember.
To be as we'll as to know, to feel as well
as to think, are principles he must put into
practice if ever he is to rise above the ranks
of the mediocre and win for himself, not
merely applause, but lasting respect and adj
miration for oratorical power worthy of the
name.

THE ATLANTA TR.wEEKLY JOURNAL

the average value of a bushel OF wheat ex-
ported in 1928 was seven cents less than
in 1922. Of pork products a larger quantity
was shipped abroad In 1923 than in the
year before, but the market values were
from one and half to four cents pound
less Farmers who had looked to the Ford
ney-McCumber tariff for the prosperity
which the makers of that measure had pre-
dicted, wondered why the event was so woe
fully short of the promise.
The reason is really not far to seek. A
tariff act that ignores world conditions and
defes economic law cannot rebound to the
common veal, What does it advantage the
producer to be shielded from foreign COM
petition if at the same time he is shut off
from the opportunities of foreign trade in
disposing of his surplus, on which his profits
depend? government policy that would
tend to provide him with markets would be
a boon indeed; but the effect Of the Repub-
lican tariff policy Is to curtail his markets
and confine him within walls of barren eX-
clusiveness No wonder that Western grain.
growers, despite thirty-cents import duty
on wheat, found the year adverse.

MY FAVORITE STORIES
BY Irwin Cobb

According to Montague Glass, who special
lied in stories of the cloak and suit trade,
jobber in this line suffered bereavement.
His wife up and died on him. Possibly be-
cause it was neghborhood gossip that the
couple had not lived together very happily
the bereft one felt it incumbent upon him to
manifest an unusual degree of distress, the
theory being that this excess of grief on his
part would silence the tongues of the slam
derers and put to eternal rest these rumors
Of domestic infelicity.
Two days after the interment the husband,
dressed all in black and wearing broad
mourning band on his left arm, was on his
way through Mercer street to his place of
business. A felow-jobber halted him an4
without preamble spoke as follows:
Honest, Goldstein, I got to say tt-for
you [ am ashamed that you should carry on
so the way what you did at your wife's
funeral. AS mark Of respect for you
went to your house day before yesterday and
the way you acted-Well, I could only say
again: AS one business man to another l am
ashamed for you that you should act so.
"a wife, yes? They come, they go; you
get 'em, you lose EN- That's life, amt 1T?
So why, then, when you lose one should you
carry 1 positively, absolutely could not
understand"
did you maybe also come by the ceme-
tery?" inquired the widower.
"Soitinly not" said his friend. "Im a
business man and it amt so that I could
spare whole day running way over Long
Island TO a. cemetery. 1 come by your house
like l said before and when I how you
carried on that for me was sufficient Right
off I came away disgusted'
"You think I carried on at the house,
huh?" stated Mr. Goldstein. You should
a-come by the cemetery. That's where l
raised hell"
