Mrs. Benz to Health
AltooniL Pa.—“I am writing to tell
you what Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound has done
for me. We have
had six children
die almost at birth.
From one hour to
nineteen days is all
they have li ved. As
I was going to have
another, I took a
dozen bottles of your
Vegetable Com
pound and I can say
that it is the great
est medicine on
earth, for this baby is now four months
old and a healthier baby you would not
want. I am sending you a picture of
her. Everybody says, That is some
healthy looking bany.’ You have my
consent to show this letter.”—Mrs. C.
W. Benz, 1313rd Ave., Altoona, Pa.
No woman can realize the ioy and
happpiness this healthy babe brought
into the home of Mrs. Benz, unless they
have had a like experience.
* Every woman who suffers from any
ailments peculiar to her sex, as indica
ted by backaches, headaches, bearing
down pains, irregularities, nervousness
and “the blues’^ should not rest until
they have given Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound a trial.

At The Unknown's Grave.
From the London Mail.
"The prayers of the faithful go up
Unceasingly.” No vestal lights are here,
no sacred shades of some cathedral
aisle, that everyone should speak so
softly, tread so light. But there is a
simple slab of stono upon which flow
ers are scattered, all radiant in the
sunlight of a summer morning.
Around tho busy holiday traffic of
the Parisan Sunday sweeps unceasingly
in every direction across the great
Place de l’Etoile. But here In the
heart of it all is a little hushed oasis
where women cross themselves, where
men bare and bow their heads, where
even the laughter of children Is stilled
in wonderment, for here at the se
pulcher of an unknown warrior a na
tion has enshrined the memory of a
million dead, and here, above all hal
lowed places in the land of France, a
nation’s prayers are said.
The sunlight of a new born day had
hardly flung its gold upon the great
triumphal arch which rears Itself so
proudly over the grave of the unknown
before the first of the tribute brlngers
arrived. Noon has gone, and still the
slow stream of peoples passes. All ages,
all classes, all types are represented.
Here a widow in somber black who for
a second breaks away from the stream
to kneel and lay her little bunch of
lillles-of-the-valley on the tomb. An
aged man, who leans heavily on a stick,
pauses, bares his head with trembling
hand, and passes on. A girl, white
coiffed, from some distance province,
has reached the end of her pilgrimage.
She brought flowers with her from the
little village, did her best to keep them
fresh and fragrant on the way. All
flutteringly, she drops them on the flow
er-sprinkled stone. A soldier, In the sky
blue uniform of France, straightens
himself to ‘‘attention,’* salutes, and
goes his way.
It is evening. Men and women are
Etill passing before the sepulcher, by
this time hidden quite beneath a pyre
of many colored blossoms, which seem
Almost to burn In the crimson evening
glow.
Knox, the Indifferent.
From the Kansas City Star.
At the famous conference in the
Blackstone hotel at the last republican
national convention, when It was de
termined by the party managers to make
Senator Harding the candidate, the roll
of possibilities was frankly discussed.
The name of Senator Knox was sug
gested.
"Knox would make a dignified candi
date," one of the old hands said. "He
has sat in the cabinets of three presi
dents. He has had long service in the
Senate. But he has the handicap of
having voted against prohibition and
woman’s suffrage. And besides, he
wouldn’t make the necessary exertion."
That last sentence helps to explain
!he career of the distinguished Pennsyl
vania senator who died recently. A
brilliant man, keen, witty, an excellent
companion, for many years he had lost
interest in public affairs, although he
continued in the public service.
In his earlier years in office, Mr.
Knox was impelled by ambition. As
attorney general for Roosevelt he won
the first great victory of the government
under the Sherman act in his prosecu
tion of the Northern Securities case.
Under his administration the attorney
general’s office maintained a high degree
of efficiency.
But when he failed to get the nomina
tion for the presidency to succeed
Roosevelt his interest declined. He ac
cepted the office of secretary of state
under President Taft, but merely played
with its duties. It was commonly said
that he arrived at the office at 11:30,
went to the Metropolitan club for lunch
eon at noon, and did not return in the
afternoon.
France to Stop the Duel.
From the Columbus Dispatch.
It is assumed by a good many that
the effect of the war has been lo weak
en, rather than to increase, aversion to
the shedding of human blood. One who j
takes his opinions from such papers as
the New York Nation would be apt to
hold that this is unquestionably so.
Now and then, however, some very
strong evidence on the other side comes
to light.
Just now the cable brings the news of
a determined movement in France to
put an end to dueling. The minister of
justice has issued a circular of instruc
tions to public prosecutors, urging a
strict application of the law. “The war
has cost too much blood,” he says, “and
It is more than ever essential to take all
necessary steps to spare it. The war
has cost us so many crippled that their
number must not be added to with the
✓Vain pretext of settling private quar
rels.” The minister then goes on to
quote the provisions of the law under
the head of homicide and assault under
which prosecutions are to be brought,
and directs the prosecutors to demand
the heaviet penalties permissible for in
fringement. The French press is com
menting very favorably on the move
ment, and will do all that is possible to
insure its success.
As things settle down to a more nor
mal basis, we may find that the logical
leisions of the war have taken a deeper
hold than has yet made Itself apparent,
under the disadvantages of the reaction
which followed the close of the long and
terrible strain of conflict cn the field. As
France is now drawing the right con
clusion with reference to private con
flicts, so the nations in general may
find, as they recover their equilibrium;
that they have gained sufficient moral
enlightenment to avoid armed conflicts
with one another.
They Must Not Bluff.
From the Milwaukee Journal.
Will Irwin one of the men writing
today who sees that the people of the
world are demanding release from war
in a voice that will bo heard, warns
that the disarmament conference is in
danger, if it is not approached in a
better spirit. He says:
All politicians of all nations repre
sented in the coming conference are
going into that conference without any
sincere intention of doing anything.
They hope only to use the conference
for a ground of jockeying for national
advantage.
If that is true, if the nations are so
unfortunate and ineffective as to have
for their representatives men who do
not understand that this time something
real is expected of them, there needs
to be word go up from every organiza
tion and every interested citizen that
one thing is expected of this conference,
whether the other parts of its ambitious
program are reached or not. That one
thing is reduction of armaments.
In a million quiet homes, men and
women who seen that all pay for war
and the loss to the victor is little dif
ferent from the loss to the vanquished
look to the coming conference to take
a step forward—to make war less likely
by reducing the means of making war.
If a man has no other interest in
disarmament than the saving of his
j taxes, more than four-fifths of which
Iin our country in this year of peace
go for war, he can do no bettor than
find some way of making his voice
heard to say he expects the conference
to save him money.
If our government Insists that arma
ment must be cut down, it is likely to
? get armament cut down. It will make
I this Its first business If It hears from
j the country that that la what everyone
i expects of it. Private citizens writing
! to senators and congressmen ca^ do a
l great deal.

By Norman Hapgood, of Universal Service.
The breakdown of Clemenceau's popularity in France is as complete as
was that of Mr. Wilson in this country, but the explanation is simpler. Most
Americans think of Clemenceau at Versailles as a standpatter and imperial
ist. As a matter of fact, he was a liberal if we compare him with the other
strong forces in French governing circles. And what ho is being punished
for is his liberalism, not his imperialism.
From the standpoint of most Fiench politicians what happened at Ver
sailles was that Clemenceau gave up the desires of Foch and the other be
lievers in a settlement based on force and accepted Instead Mr. Wilson's
League of Nations and Mr. Wilson's promise to use his efforts to bring about
a temporary triple alliance to make Franco feel safe until the league should
grow into a real protection. Mr. AVilson was unable to deliver and the
French politicians now point out that France has neither the safety from
agreement which Wilson promised, nor the safety from crushing military
occupations of Germany and annexations, on which the Foch plan was
based. Clemenceau therefore is kicked out of popularity by his country with
as much promptness and decision as was ever handed to any other popular
idol.
Once an English statesman at the height of his prestige was congratulat
ed by a friend on the enthusiasm with which the people followed him. "AVait
awhile,” said the statesman. "It will not be long before they are crying
for my head.”
Clemenoeau in his youth was a radical. He took active part in the com
mune at the end of the Franco-German war. Since then ho has spent most
of his time in sharp opposition to existing governments. It was in the sav
agery of his attacks tiiat he earned his name of "the tiger” But being in
power is something different from being out. especially for a person wtio is
primarily a critic. AVhen in power, instead of throwing bricks, one has a
chance to seo what they feel like.
Clemenceau deserves our sympathy because he is more nearly right than
are those who are turning public opinion against him. The crowd that have
taught the French people to look upon tlie tiger as the betrayer of their wel
fare are the crowd headed by Poincaire and Foch. They are the crowd that
think safety lies in the French possession of territory up to the Rhino, in
French excuses for marehing to Berlin, in handling the Ruhr and Silesian
questions not from an industrial point of view, but from the standpoint of
weakening Germany.
Extraordinary revelations came out in the recent attacks on Clemenceau
■ by the Poincare people, both sides referring to documents. These documents
show that Lloyd George and Wilson tried to prevent the occupatian of Ger
man territory. But nevertheless France had her way on that point. They
show that Foch’s idea of getting hold of the Rhine for a French strategic
frontier has by no means been abandoned, blit has now more support than
before, among French statesmen, because of the failure of AVilson to put
through his plans for quieting French fears with international agreement.
They show also that both the Poincare and the Clemenceau factions ad
mit that the terms imposed on Germany are beyond her power to meet and
that this inability to meet the terms gives France an opportunity to occupy
the Rhino indefinitely.
For the two principal opposing groups of French statesmen to rejoice
that they have succeeded in imposing on Germany conditions that are im
possible, because that gives the French military power an excuse for indefi
nite occupation, is about as wise as the reconstruction policy that was car
ried against the views of the dead Lincoln. Yet the present feeling runs so
high that demands are constant that Clemenceau shall be put on trial for
treason. The reason for this fury is that Clemenceau has not been as crazy
as the Poincare people think he should have been.
In "Everlasting Dishonor."
From the New York World.
Even a limited debate on the German
treaty will afford to Senator Lodge the
opportunity to reconcile his 1918 opinion
about a separate peace with his 1921
opinion.
In 1918 certain critics of Mr. Wilson
had invented an entertaining falsehood
to the effect that Mr. Wilson might
make a separate peace with Germany
after the war was won, and that this
was his reason for not entering into an
alliance with the belligerent nations as
sociated with the United States. Among
those who pretended to take this fake
seriously xv£s Henry Cabot Lodge, then
ranking i€publican member of the Sen
ate committee on foreign lelations. Sen
ator Lodga's horror was so great that
he gave expression to it in these words:
The intent of congress and the intent
of the president was that there could be
no peace until we could create a situa
tion where no such war as this could
recur. We cannot make peace except
in company with our allies. It would
brand us with everlasting dishonor and
bring ruin to us also if we undertook to
make a separate peace.
Senator Lodge is not afflicted with
what Burke described "that chastity
of honor that felt a stain like a wound.”
His political career has never been
maired at any stage by devotion to prin
ciple, and we need wraste no time in
wondering why the 1921 Lodge lias re
pudiated the 1918 Lodge. But what the
senator from Massachusetts said In 1918
expressed the general opinion about

A Rich Woman on Strike.
From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
As the daughter of John D. Rocke
feller Mrs. Harold F. McCormick, of
Chicago, enjoy 3 hereditary eminence.
There is distinction, too, in her position
as the wife of the head of the harvester
company. But this reflected greatness
has failed to satisfy her. She is ambi
tious to be a personage in her own right.
She has chosen psychology as the me
dium in which to achieve individuality.
That the lady’s ambition should have
snapped the McCormick family ties is,
of course, unfortunate, but in this in
stance such a misfortune will be regard
ed as incidental. Public interest will
focus rather on the dissatisfaction with
fortuitous glamor and the purpose to do
something “on her own.’’ Probably
public interest will be sympathetic, too.
The unrest which permeates the so
called rank and file today, according to
a sociologist of some standing, Is caused
Vy the “desire to be somebody.” Thq^
“quantity production” and factory prac
tice generally take no account of such
aspiration is believed by some to be one
of capital’s grossest blunders.
Mrs. McCormick, it may be surmised
does not know that she is a striker, bu»
she is. She is protesting the order of
things in her sphere. If she were not
the daughter of the richest man in the
world, if she had come to America a
Russian peasant, if she had learned
how to make cigars and subsequently
achieved leadership among the workers
of that trade, she likely today would
be a Rose Pastor Stokes.
