GREAT FRENCHMAN DIED YESTERDAY
One of the few surviving founders of the Third Re
public passed away in Clement Armand Fallieres. As
Senator, Minister and President he aided the growth
of the French nation, but his strong Republican tenden
cies did not deter a most active social life among Eur
ope’s royalty when he became President.
His career encompassed the entire period from the
Franco-Prussian War until 1910, when, it since has been
revealed, the rumblings of the World War already were
being heard in the Continental capitals.
Fallieres was elected deputy from his department
in 1876, the first really Republican Parliament after the
Royalist party had been routed and their leader, Marshal
MacMahon, forced to abandon power.
Becoming Under-secretary of the Interior Depart
ment in 1880, he began a spectacular career as holder of
government portfolios which lasted for 10 years.
That year he also became Minister of the Interior
in Jules Ferry’s cabinet. Two years later he received
the same post under Duelerc and the following year was
called upon to form his own cabinet, in which he was
Minister of Foreign Affairs along with the Premiership.
His other cabinet posts after he lost control of the gov
ernment were: Minister of the Interior under Rouvier,
1887; Minister of Justice in Tirard’s cabinet, 1887; Min
ister of Public Instruction in Tirard’s second cabinet,
1889, and again Minister of Justice under de Freycinet
in 1890.
Following this post he dropped from public office,
remaining aloof, until 15 years later when a political
change made him President of the Senate.
A year later he was elected to the Presidency, suc
ceeding Emile Loubet, where he marked himself as a
strict observer of constitutional prerogatives and Presi
dential tradition which makes that office a far less po
tential factor than the heads of other Republics. He
contributed considerable, however, to the establishment
of the Entente Cordiale with Great Britain and helped
to develop that into the triple alliance with Russia.
His son, Andre, received his first political recogni
tion in 1926 when he became Under-secretary for Fi
nances.
Necessarily limited as is the career of a President
of France, Fallieres enjoyed a social position during his
term which had an undetermined effect upon the coun
try’s international dealings.
King Edward was a particularly close friend, their
meeting including numerous dinners and parties in
both their capitals. The Prince of Wales, now King
George V., also enjoyed his hospitality, while he ex
changed visits with King Haakon of Norway, the King
of Spain, King Frederick of Denmark and the King of
Greece. All of the other crowned heads of Europe also!
were his guests.
We read that a physical culture expert “made aj
large fortune by bringing people into contact with dumb- j
bells.” Most of us would pay to avoid either variety.
A modern Don Quixote might amuse himself by
tilting at political windbags.
It wouldn’t be so bad to be poor if we could keep the
distressing fact a secret.
Let us hope that June brides will always believe
their “hubbies” are the finest men on earth.
Man’s universal delusion is that he will some day
get out of debt.
