GEORGE PUTNAM, Editor and Publisher
Clemenceau's Mission
1
Georges Clemenceau, aged war premier of France, is tour
ing the United States, in behalf of France- His articles on
the European situation are being widely printed, his
lectures are being delivered to great audiences. He is making
a popular appeal to enlist American sympathies and retain
American friendship for France, and American intervention
in Europe, and to accomplish hi3 purpose is scolding Amer
leans for running away from world problems-
Of the ability, force, courage and sincerity of M. Clemen
ceau there is no question. He is too old for personal ambi
tions. His elevation to the premiership at a critical hour
undoubtedly saved France. But the Prussian terror has
seared most of the charity out of his nature and he is unable
to think of Germany save as the beast that perpetually en
dangers. Force has always ruled the Prussian and he be
lieves that force only can avert the German menace. After
what France has suffered at German hands, no one can
blame Clemenceau or the French but it is questionable
whether doubt and suspicion and dread can ever patch-up
a permanent peace for shell-shocked Europe.
To charges of militarism and imperialism Clemenceau
reminds us that the thin blue line of France was all that
stood between the world and German conquest in 1914 and
that if Germany had the power today, it would in all prob
ability be all that could avert disaster until the world again
made ready, so in this light, the more soldiers France has to
protect herself, the better the protection for the world
Clemenceau tells us that having once interfered in Euro
pean affairs and so- changed the course of destiny, America
can not now evade the consequences. Having played a part
in war, the United States must help put the world in order
by doing our part in peace. As long as we continue to play
the slacker, just so long will the world drift from bad to
worse as demoralization and collapse theaten a new dark age
for civilization. And if it comes, the fault will be largely
America's for failing to live up to the splendid promise she
held out to a war-wrecked world, and which still lives in the
hearts of humanity.
Clemenceau's message is to tell us that it is not too late
to do our share, to wake America out of the moral lethargy
that has benumbed our sense of responsibility, so that we
may lead the old world out of the slough of despond.
As the New York World puts it : -
He comes, therefore, this ancient man who has seen so much evil
and has passed beyond Illusion, to reaffirm the greatest hope In the
world. He who cared only for France, he who embodied the cynicism
of a mature civilization about the naive Idealism of a young one, that
man, Clemenceau, has emerged out of retirement to say that the
youth of the world was right. He has come to say that European
civilization, weary and tangled In Its own history, had reached the
end of its own devices. That, beneath the surface of his
speech, is the dramatic meaning of Clemenceau's mission. That is
what he wishes us to understand. That is all he need let us know.
For having said this much, the rest follows inevitably. A Nation
whose name is bound up with the hopes of men cannot permanently
refuse a call like this. Here is the common ground la a
distracted world. Here is the one standard to which all men can
rally. Here Is the test of America, the test of her vision and her fibre.

The Regeneration of
Malcolm Starmount
By Idah McGloneGibson.
Our Besetting Sin.
Farmers of Kansas and Oklahoma along with many other
states this year elected governors pledged to reduce taxes and
at the same time voted in Kansas to pay the ex-service men a
bonus of $25,000,000 and in Oklahoma, a bonus of $50,000,
000, a characteristic American procedure. The same story
was repeated all over the United States. Taxes can not be
reduced as long as the people continue to vote bond issues
and sanction great expenditures. This situation brought
forth some pertinent remarks from officials of the National
Grange assembled at Wichita, Kansas, last week for the
56th annual convention-
"The American farmer must get into his economic cyclone
cave, must retrench and quit borrowing money if he is ever
to see the dawn of an era of prosperity comparatively free
of debt," said Thomas C. Atkeson, legal representative at
Washington, D. C. "Any national or state legislation which
facilitates borrowing money for the farmer is highly
detrimental to him. Agricultural ills can not be remedied
by legislation, but the American farmer cannot be convinced
of this, as was shown in the recent election. The spirit of
Roman times when the people turn to the government asking
them for assistance, forgetting that they are part of the
government, in our besetting sin at present."
The administration's policy of loaning to farmers and
stock-raisers only postpones the day of liquidation and the
producer is not materially aided thereby. But the farmer
has got it into his head, after listening to the song of the
politician, that the government is the source of his pros
perity and his adversity, rather than he himself, and that to
remedy matters he must tinker with government, as he has
been doing Jn North Dakota, with the result of making a bad
matter worse.
The great trouble with Americans is that they will not
pay the price for success which is self-denial and rigid
economy, the toreigner whether a boot-black or a dairy
hand, is here only a short time before he is in business for
himself' They can all of them teach thrift to our native
population, including the farmer. But it is easier to vote a
change in government than it is to reform ourselves.

In a few moments Sather return

Sargent Flan Denounced.
Commenting upon the Sargent
plan of stock salesmanship known
as the "one call system," Handley
expresses his lack of confidence in
the ability of the average stock

presenting figures to show that
out of 876 salesmen quizzed by his
department only 22 per cent had

Handley also points to the fact
that through the inauguration ot
a policy of close cooperation be

mission to this state or permission
to sell stock in this state has been
greatly expedited and the cost tc
