"Without or with offense to friend or foes 1 tkelch your world exactly as it goes." Byron Two Elder Statesmen Pass Within a few hours of each other, death Sunday sum moned two of the world's elder statesmen, each, of whom had flayed important roles in the history of their respective na tions for over half a century, Georges Clemenceau, who as the fighting, victorious premier of France brought the world war to a successful conclusion and Francis E. Warren, of Wyoming, who held all records for length of service in the : United States Senate and was a leading figure in national , affairs. Clemenceau, physician, editor, politician, scholar, duel list, twice premier of France, whose public career began with the Franco-Prussian war and ended with the termination of the greatest of all wars, was a world figure and one of the most picturesque of characters. Warren, who won the con gressional medal of honor for gallantry on the battlefields' in the civil war, has been continuously in public life since 1873 when he was elected president of the Wyoming Senate, 56 years, of which 39 he served in the United States Senate, the longest tenure in history. During all of this time he was foremost in the political affairs of his state and of his party. Clemenceau's was an extraordinary personality. His combativeness, his tenacity his ferocity won him the sobri quet of "Tiger" but turbulent as such characteristics were in parliamentary life, they were just what was needed, to save France in her hour of peril and turn the defeatist complex into one of victory. As to his personal appearance, we quote from William Bolitho who depicts in a recent article in the New York World his impressions at Versailles after the sign ing of the treaty: Tall, or only gtvln; the impreaslon of filze, Clemenceau t-as the most unexpected head In the whole gallery of Europe. Par he does not look like a European at all. In his coloration, the bent of his expression, and strongest of all in an indefinable, unmistakable allure probably not seri atim In his features, which: may be why all the pictures miss It he is a Mongol. Not, please, a Chinaman, still less a Japanese, but some stronger. coarser, older branch, let us say the vanished tribe of Attila, of Genghis Khan. The French usually Lave a legend to account lor this, about a lost equadron of Hunntsh cavalry who took refuge and rooted in his native province. La Vendee, after their last battle, ages ago. Really a mighty face, and a dangerous face. I think the only other detail that matters Is his eerie habit of gray wool gloves, which no one for generations m ever seen him, morning or night, without. Tills thick gray padding of his hands, whatever it conceals, makes all his gestures seem blindfolded, or groping, even the xamous it&ta nan closed on the table. . . Clemenceau began public life as Mayor of Montmarte, llie blood pool of the Commune. Previously he had practiced as a physician and taught school in the United Slates which gave him his American outlook. He was a member of the Paris municipal council until 1876 when he entered the Chamber of Deputies as leader of the Radical party. Thence followed his long career of cabinet wrecking, periods of power and the smash over the Panama canal scandals in 1893. In 1880 he founded the famous "La Justice" and in 1903 the daily h Aurore wherein he defended Captain Dreyfus. In 1906 Clemenceau became premier, losing out in 1909, but retaining his senate seat. In 1912 he brought about the overthrow of Caillaux, and in 1913 wrecked -the Bnand cabi net. On the outbreak of the war, he entered the Viavini ministry and in 1917 he became prime minister, retiring in 1919. He ruled as a tireless, remorseless dictator in coordi nating the forces of victory. Warren, on the other hand, despite his early exploits as a soldier, was a hero of peace rather than war, a product of the colonization, exploitation and commercialization of the wilderness. He was as much a symbol of America as Clem enceau of France. He served as legislator, mayor, state treasurer and governor of Wyoming, both as a territory and state. For over half a century he dominated his party in his state and played an important role in national affairs, as chairman of major committees. Despite his long record of achievement, no halo of glory enshrines the memory of Warren for he had no great role to play and was never thrust into seats of the mighty. He ncved developed the leadership to lift him out of the ranks of the near-great. Which, however, does not blemish a long record of useful public service. Hoover's S. O. S. President Hoover, in his desire to coordinate all con struction forces for the maintenance of prosperity has tele graphed the governors of the 48 states urging their coopera tion by "the energetic yet prudent pursuit of public works by State, municipal and county authorities". He declares: It would be helpful if road, street, public building and other con struction of this type could be speedi-d up and adjusted lu such fashion as to further employment. Governors however, have little to say about such expen ditures. They are the product of legislatures and none of them are in session. The suggestion is along lines of previ ous recommendations by Mr. Hoover for the stabilization of employment by timing public works for seasons of industrial slump, regardless of the fact that tho taxpayer, who foots the bill, is least able to pay additional taxes during periods of depression. It begins to look as if Mr. Hoover is over-emphasizing the result of the Wall Street stock debacle and so despite his assurance that business conditions are fundamentally sound, will create the opposite impression, that they are not, and that hard times are really here. Thus he is likely to defeat the psychology of confidence he aims to establish. Such prosperity as we have had has been largely spot ted, and much of it as mythical as the billions of paper val ues that evaporated in the stock market crash. The fact that Jialf a billion dollars of taxpayers' money had to be appro priated for relief of agriculture, proves general prosperity a mirage. And for a long time, the textile, oil, coal, lumber, paper and other great industries have suffered depression due to the same cause as agriculture over-production. Other industries are threatened with the same situation, because production has passed the point of market saturation and either an orderly curtailment to suit absorption must be en forced, or depression ensue, as the law of supply and de mand enforces itself. It cannot be artificially flouted for ever. It is over-produclioa, not Wall Street losses, that canses concern.

Oeorge Clemenceau, generally characterized as the most forceful personage the French nation has ever produced. Lived up to that estimate of him until hit end. Al though he retired from active par ticipation in French pouiici in mt, after his defeat for the presidency of the republic, he did not regard his life's activities finished, not withstanding that he was then 78 wan of age. Later he disclosed that he had planned work which would take 15 years to complete. After his retirement from public life. Clemenceau selected as his home for his remaining years a little farm house overlooking the aea on the wild coajt of the Bay of Biscay, a few miles from where he was bom. There he lived virtually the life of a recluse a rather unique experience for the Tiger of France and. for that matter, for France Itself. The only time he appeared before public audiences rince then was on the occasion of his visit to the United States In the latter part of 1922. Clemenceau physician, editor. politician, scholar, duellist and twice premier of France had an active public career of more than 50 years. It really began with a great war and terminated with the greatest of all wars. And in be tween he fought many battles in the political arena and oh the field of honor he always loved a fight and never let llp by the opportun ity to engage In one. His indom itable courage had become a by word in the land. Nothing daunted him. Hence, his self-ellmlnatlon from public life caused the French to wonder whether defeat in his ad vancing years had broken the fight ing Clemenceau spirit. They recal led his "1 11 see this war through to a finish." hurled defiantly at those who demanded his resigna tion only a year before. They could not reconcile retirement in defeat vfth fuch a defiant spirit. But Clemenceau remained silent. He did not disclose his plans. After he had been in retirement a few years publishers on both sides of the Atlantic sought to bring him to the fore again with tempting offers for .his writings. He would not be tempted. "I cannot accept." raid the old statesman to one agent. "If I write anything for you I must write what I think, and if I write what I think It is certain t vcate a whole lot of trouble. There la enough trouble now. Why cause more?" About that time friends disclosed that the Old Tiger, since his re tirement, had been occupying him self with a little garden to pro duce vegetables for his meager liv ing and writing his memoirs. Clemenceau's memoirsl That announcement caused varied emotions among the public men of Prance curiosity, Joy, lndigatlon, fear according to their relations with the Tiger during his lifetime For whether accused by his enemies of ha vine imposed npon France a dictatorship of Napoleonic insolence or hailed by his followers as the "Saviour of France" and the "Fath er of Victory." he waa widely dls- cussed, hated, admired and loved; Clemenceau left no one Indifferent Clemenceau waa ?A vhM ha ... called to pilot France through the oaraeii aaya oi tne world War.

He had, you know, the magic power of being able to turn the time backward or forward when he took the children off for adven tures. -I dldnt want to disturb any of them," he explained. John and Peggy hadn't the slight est Idea what be meant, but the Little Black Clock continued speak ing. "The members of the wood chuck family, the members of the prairie dog family, the frogs, tne bean, and many, many others nave gone to sleep for the winter, and I did not want to disturb them. ."When they go to bed for then winter aleep they do not wish to be awakened until the early spring, so Z thought we would be very very quiet.

"Where?" the children aiked, as they looked about them. And Just then the visitor appeared. Tomorrow "The Chilly Visitor." MRS. MATILDA BROWN PASSES AT STAYTON Stayton Matilda E.

Interment will be in the Brown cemetery at Dallas. . the parade grounds of Dea Invalides, reverberated through the city, and good Frenchmen stopped and raised their hats in their own salute to the statesman who died Sunday morn ing. Paris could not hear but every French battery throughout the re public and Its possessions and every French warship on the high seas joined In the same salute of 101 guns. The body of Clemenceau, left the capitol at 3 urn., enroute to its last resting place in the quiet of a wood in the province of Vendee. There was no muffled drum beat, no oratory, no acclamation to speed the body on its last Journey. Instead the former premier's last behest was carried out to the letter with ail the simplicity and calm he desired. A hearse drove up before the light in front of the departed statesman's door, the only light kept thereabout in the dimly illuminated street. Four men dressed in black went inside the courtyard and in a lew minutes emerged with the light oak coffin, which they placed rever ently inside the hoarse. Only a little group, constituted of General Henri Gouraud. Prefect of Police Chiappe, the artist Gilbert Bellan. and a few neighbors wit nessed the removal, so impressive for all its simplicity and lack of os tentation. After the hearse four automobiles drove up and 30 guests, those In vited by the dead man himself in his last hours, emerged from the house and, saluting the little group of spectators, found their places in side the civs. An automobile containing the spe cial police commissary. Dupin de la Fourcade, took the lead and the cortege started on Its 250-mile Jour ney while an adjacent clock struck. The group on the sidewalk, hatless. watched wistfully as the procession receded into the night. A few minutes later the convoy passed the Porte (.Orleans, a sou thern exit from the city. Both routes to be followed to the place of inter ment, at Mouchamps, and the hour of burial were kept secret by the HEAR 101 GUNS FOR CLEMENCEAU (Continued from pare 1 STOP COUGH!
