Intfie PUBLIC EYE
j "Tiger" Says, "Remember!"
What has France's "Tiger" in
mind? That is the question. Georges
Clemenceau, France's war premier, at
the unveiling of a monument depicting
him in his well-known little slouch
hat, and surrounded by ppilus, facing
the Germans in the trenches, delivered
what some observers considered to be
his valedictory to French public life.
Others, however, considered it as in-
terpreting the "Tiger's" re-entrance in-
to the active political arena. The
monument was erected by the people
of Clemenceau's native department of
Vendee, in honor of the former pre-
mier's activities during the war. "He-
member !" was the keynote of his ad-
dress.
"Let us remember," said Clemen-
ceau, "and let us keep from substitut-
ing by vain words, the acts which are
expected of the country. Let us re-
member France's motto, 'Live In the
peace of Justice, or perish.' Yester-
day we were the victors. Let no one place us in the situation where we ask
whether we still are victors.
"It Is not too late to say that reparations and securities are Inseparable
terms; that each Frenchman is worth one German, and that France renounces
nothing of what is due her."
Phipps and Colorado Roads """j
Senator Lawrence C. Phipps of
Colorado did his state a good turn
the other day. He wrote to State
Treasurer Strong:
"I am advised that unemployment
In Colorado has been aggravated on
account of the stopping of state
highway work because the state of
Colorado Is unable to sell the high-
way bonds at the price fixed by law
in competition with other offerings of
securities. That I may help In a prac-
tical way to relieve the unemployment
in Colorado, I shall be glad to pur-
chase $50,000 of the state of Colorado
5 pier cent bonds on as favorable terms
and price as may be arranged for the
sale of these securities. Not only will
the unfortunate condition of men be-
ing out of work be remedied by the
purchase of these bonds by our citi-
zens, but all of the citizens of the
state will benefit by the development
resulting from the construction of
proper highways."
There are $2,000,000 of these highway bonds. Senator Phipps' offer in-
spired plans for a statewide campaign to sell the bonds and prevent 5,000 men
from losing their jobs on more than 60 highway projects, embracing about
i!i>0 miles of roads. Then a trust company of Denver stepped in and bought the
whole Issue nt par with accrued Interest.
Have You a Daughter?
Is She Nervous ? Pale ?
Then You Cannot Afford to Overlook
One Word of This
Kansas City, Kans.—"When I was a
girl just coming into womanhood, I be-
came all run-down, weak and nervous.
I was pale as death. My people became
very much alarmed; they thought I
was going into a decline. My mother
took me to our druggist and asked if he
could recommend some medicine that
would be good for my case. He told
her to try Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription and she did. I had only
taken it a short time when I began to
improve and it was not long until I
was well—in the best of heath."—
Mrs. Belle Gammon, 2906 N. 11th St.
A beautiful woman is always a well
woman. Get this Prescription of Dr.
Pierce's for your daughter, in liquid or
tablets at any drug store, and see how
quickly she will have sparkling eyes, a
clear skin and vim, vigor, vitality.
The Dark Cloud.
It Is not surprising that clouds come
in for more or less criticism. They
live high, are often dissipated, and can
usually be classed with the wets.

If you want the true, world-famous
Aspirin, as prescribed by physicians for
over twenty-one years, you must ask

The "Bayer Cross" is stamped on
each tablet and appears on each pack-

Liquor Laws and the Rich j
Radicals Threaten Crowder.
Havana.—Threats against Maj. Gen.
Enoch H. Crowder and the United :
States legation in Havana are contain- |
ed in proclamations distributed here
in connection with the Sacco-Vanzetti i
case. The posters denounce General
Crowder as a "representative of the
American bourgoiese" and threaten i
"the dagger of vengeance" against the I
Americans. The police, however, are
taking prompt action. They arrested
ten persons at the headquarters of a I
syndicalist labor organization. A num- j
ber of terrorists pamphlets were found
on the premises.
Judge Ben B. Lindsey of the Den-
ver Juvenile court is again In the pub-
lic eye. On the ground that it would
be unjust to punish a lesser offender
against the bootleg laws while wealthy
social leaders of Capitol Hill, Denver's
society section, are allowed to fill their
wine cellars with smuggled liquors
without fear of molestation, Judge
Ben B. Lindsey of the Juvenile court
freed Chester Lasater and Clete Hin-
ton, accused of giving young girls
liquor to drink. Judge Lindsey charged
that a "conspiracy" exists among the
rich to have the liquor laws enforced
only against the poor.
"If we are to have jail sentences,"
declared Judge Lindsey, "I would rec-
ommend that the prominent men In-
volved in the delivery of thousands of
dollars' worth of first-class booze—free
of the poisons that in the booze of the
poor are punishment enough—be fol-
lowed, prosecuted and sent to jail.
"I would recommend that the society leaders and women of prominence
who are interested in gettftig these laws enforced send their investigators in-
to the homes of the rich with search warrants to inspect their cellars, and then
have the courage to go after them."
Davison Will Take a Rest
Henry P. Davison (portrait here-
with)' called by some economists the
"greatest banking genius" in the coun-
try, will be definitely out of all finan-
cial and social activity for a year, it
is announced at the office of J. P. Mor-
gan & Co. Davison plans to go with
his family to his plantation at Thoraas-
ville, Ga. He was forced to give up
active direction in Morgan & Co. re-
cently to have au operation for tumor
of the brain.
The temporary retirement of Mr.
and Mrs. Davison from New York
society leaves a niche to be filled, it
is reported, by Mr. and Mrs. Marshall
Field of Chicago. The Davison box
at the Metropolitan opera will be oc-
cupied this season by the Marshall
Fields, who also will occupy the Dav-
ison mansion at 690 Park avenue.
Marshall Field, third, returned to
Chicago recently from a two months'
trip to Europe, and he had, as he ex-
pressed it, a marvelous piece of luck while he was there. His two colts, Gol-
ien Corn and Cistercian, ran well at Doeesster, winning flYe rates.
