mcnceau and Orlando-who hel: rrotacted secret sessions and snap ca the work of the public aSscm bites.
 Many of his compatrioss sevcrell criticised Clemenceau for his atti. tude during the peace conference charging that he continued during the negotiations with Frances al- lies and associates the same meth eds he had employed in prosecuting the war against the Germans.
 During the conference sessions Ciemenceau frequently measured his wit and ability against those of President Wilson, who had nomi- mated him for the presidency of the conference.
 This became more noticeable in the discussions over the s5-called "halanee of power" Clemenceau having declared his purpose of sup porting the old Bismarclzian policy of grouping one set of nations against another, notwithstandins the American Presidents oppo5i- ticn. This sharp division ran through the entire proceedings leading up to the creation Of the League Of Nations. the peace treaty and the joint defensive agreement among France, England and the United States. In shaping the peace treaty, Clemenceau stood for rigor- ous terms which would compensate France for her sacrifice.
 The agility with which Clemen- csau went about even after passing his 18th year often proved suffi- cient disguise to make him un- recognized by persons who hac seen him for the first time, but who were familiar with his feature. through photographs.
 David Lloyd-G George, the former British premier, is quoted as hay ing said of him:
 What wonderful extraordi nary and terrible old man! Every time I meet him he appear to b, year younger and to have on, more tooth" Some say Lloyd George called it One more claw.
 During the peace conferenc' Clcmenceau was danger erousl. wounded by an anarchist, who mad 2 dramatic attempt to assassinati him. The Premier was proceeding a the time from his residence to committee meeting to be held il the rooms of Col. House. As hi automobile sped through the boule yard, the anarchist sprang from be hind a kiosk and fired a volle, of shots. Two hit their mark, on piercing Clemenceau's shoulder an' the other his breast.
 Because of his advanced age-h was 78-and suffering as he wa from diabetes, it was at frs thought Clemenceau was doomed However, he fought death as h had fought the war and his iroi will carried him through. Thre' weeks later he was at his place presiding over the sessions of tn peace conference.

! Imprisonment.
 Announces Retirement
 After the peace conference and while he still was Premier, Gle menceaus name was put in nomi- nation for the Presidency of France. However, a revulsion for every thing savoring of the war had set in and the late Paul Deschanel Was chosen. Clenenceau then announced his retirement and sailed for India to hunt tigers.
 Clsmerceau came to the United States unofficially in November, 1922, his second visit to this coun- try, to defend the position of hi country. There arose a feeling that the United States was losing somc Of it's traditional sympathy foi France because of the latters re- parations policy and other post war conditions and the Tiger came, as he expressed it, ito present the case of France to the American people" He addressed capacity audiences at New York, Boston, Chicago, St. Louis, Washington and Philadelphia, and was given tre- mendous public oyations. There was wide interest in the Tiger him self, but his mission was not re- garded as having been entirely successful.
 Clemenceau first came to the United States in 1865 when he was 25 years old. He had a physicians certificate and a case of new sllrgi- cal instruments, but little money and no friends here. He had served @ short sentence in prison for shouting on the streets of Paris: "Vlve la Repualique.7 and upon his release determined to visit America that he might "sec what a real republic looks like" Enter ing upon the practice of medicine, as several generations of his fam fly before him had done, he soon found his earnings sufficient to sup port him. He wrote articles on American life for the Paris Temps end to further increase his income took a position in the New York public library.
 Comes to America
 The Old Tiger later ascribed his intellectual development to that position and of that period in his life once wrote:
 ''They were the happiest days I have ever known, the only really happy ones, indeed. The library was well supplied with the best works cf all sorts. It was general ly deserted. I rcquisitioned it. Sc- cluded, far from the tumult of the streets in a little room inaccessible to the few visitors that came, read the best historians and philos- cphers. Days, weeks and months passed It lasted two years. My mind acquired there what it lacked There my intellect completed its formation. It was a delight"
 But hunger. which causes the wolf to come out of the woods brought the future Tiger out of his literary lair Reinittances from his father had ceased and the young man must earn his own living. About that time a Miss Afker rtarted school for girls at Stam- ford, Conn, and happening to hear of Clemenceau, induced him to ac- cept position as professor o1 French in the new school. In 2 mort time Miss Aiken learned that the young Frenchman was an ex- pert horseman, with the result tia.

a course in horsemanship was added to the schools curriculum with tho professor of French as instructor
 Weds American Girl
 Among the pupils he took for lor.s rides in the country was Mis-. Mary Hummer, whose father hac been a resident of Springfield Mass, and an official of the Con- necticut River Railrc I'd, now a par of the Boston arI Maine system Clemenceau fell in love with ths girl and upon the completion of her studies in 1869 they went to New York and were married
 After g years, during which three children were born to them they were divorced and Mime. C,e- menceau returned to the United States, making her home for g time in the central west. She was native of Durand, Wis.
 On March Is, 1923, the Milwaukee Journal announced the death of the former Mime. Clemenceau in Paris where she had been an invalid for ten years. A Paris dispatch of the same date stated that her death had occurred six months before and received little public attention at the time owing to the delicate and almost forgotten marital questions involved.
 A few years after the divorce pro- ceedings the Tiger married a Paris senne as his second wife.
 In 1870 when the power of Na- poleon III was waning rapidly, Gle menceau returned to France. Throughout the Franco-P -Prussian War and the siege of Paris he was mayor of the Montmartre district. He was first elected to the General Assembly in 1871 and five years later to the Chamber Of Deputies, where he soon became leader of the radicals.
 Journalistic Activities
 Clemenceau enhanced his politi- cal power by journalistic activities which had interested him for sev- eral years. He founded in 1880 La Justice, daily newspaper, of which he became chief editor. With the aid of this weapon he destroyed half dozen ministries in as many years. One of his insisterit de- mands throughout this period, and of his whole political career iii fact, was the complete separation of the Church and State.
 Powerful as he was for more than 20 years after 1870, Clemenceah fell in 1893, and fell so hard that his return to politics was believed hope Jess. He was accused of complicity in the Panama Canal scandal, and while he met every charge against his integrity and the attack on him in the chambev broke down com pletely, his constituents turned against him. For nine years he had no connection whatever with the government of France.
 During his enforced retirement from politics Clemenceau took ur journalism and became one of the foremost newspapermen in France In the Aurore, of which he was the active head, he wrote series oi sensational articles demanding the revision of the famous Dreyfu: trial. Throughout the contfover. sy he was a strong supporter o1 Emile zola. the champion of Drey- fus.

Whatever else happens in the coming cleo
ton. the schools must be saved from the faint
of Cofinism.
The arrogance Of the system in placing in
nomination for the city council a man whose
sole claim to the job is that he lent his name
to the suit which destroyed the city manager
law should prove the red signal of danger.
The manner in which Coffinisln, together
with a maker of ventilators, have conducted
the schools in the past administration is a
challenge to the whole system of popular
education.
The fight, of course, will be desperate. 1t
is made more so by the fact that on the last
day of the last legislature a law was passed
that removed the last safeguard against
fraud in the election.
That law gives, if Coffin dares to assert
his power, to the boss the right to name
every supervisor of the ballot boxes. In the
past there was a semblance of protection
against frauds in the fact that the inspectors
were named by the city council. ,
There is no longer any such safeguard. In
city election and in the county election the
inspectors hereafter will be named by Boss
Coffin.
The bill for this purpose was introduced
by a henchman of Coffin and when its defeat
in the Senate seemed imminent, three ma
chine senators were hurried to the scene
from the corridors or their hotels to cast a
ballot for it.
1t may be presumed that there was a
reason in the mind of the boss for this
change in the law. 1t may be presumed that
he wanted his own supervisors for a purpose.
And the only possible purpose of naming
them is that he intends to use them and use
them in the way that Cofiinism demands.
That law now menaces the schools. 1t is
possible, Of course, that Coffin will desert
those whom he has used. He may even try to
be half way decent. But that is a slight hope.
What is needed is an organization of
citizens who will guard the ballot boxes this
fall.
That organization must save the schools.
1t must see that the commissioners have
some regard for decency and honesty and the
education of children. The schools must no
longer be the bargain counter of politicians.

True to Form

The American Legion runs true to form in its adop-
ton at its national convention in Louisville of a reso-
luton demanding that the senate investigate all lob
bies. specifically naming ten organizations Of pacifStS
or liberal tendencies.
The list includes the National Council for the Pre-
vention of War, the Federal Council of Churches of
Christ. the Civil Liberties Union, and the League for
Industrial Democracy.
Always, it seems, the legion must condemn groups
which are seeking to promote peace. In the eyes of the
legion, they are inherently unpatriotic, and danger
Gus to the country.
The legion sees nothing sinister, however, in its
own lobbying for a bigger military establishment. Nor
does it include in its list of organizations the
Daughters of the American Revolution, which vocifer-
ously supported the absurd billion-dollar navy build
ing program of the last administration, the National
Security League, the Navy League, Fred Marvin's Key
Men of America and similar organizations.
And in condemning liberal organizations, the
legion takes no cognizance of the evils which liberal
groups are trying to correct
The National Council for the Prevention of War
of course has just as much right to voice the views
of its members as has the D.. A. R. The Federal Coun-
Gil of Churches has the same right to present its
views to congress as has tie American Legion. But
the legion apparently is unwilling to concede this.
The legion is a useful organization, particularly in
It's work for World war victims. 1t impairs its use
fitness by its jingoism and reactionary tendencies.
There is a question, however. whether the legion
politicians who make the lingo speeches and put
through the resolutions actually represent the rank
and file. We doubt it.

WhG{erer Happens IN This
Cigdret War, You Can Bet
on the Consumer Getting
the Worst Of 1t.
.SAYS:-

THREE great manufacturers de-
l. eide to end the cigaret price
cutting war. and it is expected that
others will follow suit.
Put in plain language. this means
that the wholesale cost of cigar
cts will go up 40 cents a thousand.
1t does not sound like much. but
experts already have estimated that
it means an additional revenue of
$4,000, 900 a year.
That is only half the story, for
the jobbers and retailers will also
come in for a cut.
Cigarets that have been selling at
two packages for a quarter will sell
for Is cents straight, which means
q rise Of 212 cents on each twenty,
or SIPS on each thousand.
If 40 cents a thousand will pro-
duce $4,000, 900 a year for the man
ufacturers, SIPS a thousand will
impose a tax Of S125, 600, GOO on the
consumer.
Whatever happens, you can bet
on the consumer getting The worst

Weakness

DR. CLARK seeks next to in
~ terpret these smilarities be-
tween man, insects, birds and ro-
dents.
Among the insects, man-like at
tributes are almost exclusively con-
fined to types in which the young
are very different from the adults,
either soft, delicate and headlesS
grubs or s~oft-bodied worm-like
things" he writes
among the birds, mental attri-
butes which parallel the human are
confined almost exclusively to those
types with helpless young which for
their upbringing require the atten-
tons of both parents.
Weak and helpless young are es-
pecially characteristic of the ro-
dents.
so a survey of the animal world
brings out the extraordinary fact
that mental ingenuity is developed
to offset some dangerous physical
weakness in the animal involved.
This physical weakness usually
has to do with helpless younger
stages.
Thus physical weakness in the
animal world is Offset by the ap-
pearance of mental attributes COM
parable, or at least parallel, to those
of man, and the more pronounced
the weakness the more manhke do
these attributes become.
Man is physically weaker than
any of his competitors"
And according to DR.. Clark, man
owes his superior mental Develop
ment to this physical weakness.
