It Is small when that aptrit dies. Do not Imajlne that UUla countries in Europe ruled by others are necessarily as deterr ing of freedom or as fit for It as those that are free and self-sor-crning. . Montesquieu says in the third book of the "Spirit of Laws:" "Athens had In her breast the same power when she dominated with so much glory as when she set-red with so much shame. "She had twenty thousand citi zens when she defended the Greeks against the Persians, disputed the empire -with Lacedemonia and at tacked Sicily. "Sao had twenty thousand citi zens when Demetrius da Phalare numbered, them as one counts Blares in the market." It was not' the sreat'neaber of Greeks that made it possible for Athens to hold back and defeat the millions of Persia. it was 'not the small number of Greeks that made it so easy later for Philip or anybody else to con quer Athens. The trouble was that Athens -feared Philip, father of Alexan der, not as an enemy of the LTB "EUTY of Athens', but as an enemy of the PLEASURES of Athens. When -Athens was great the money that the citizens could have spent on themselves they voted to spend on national 'defense. And the same Athens with the same- population later in the years of disgrace "had passed a law to punish with death whoever should propose using for national defense the money, that had been set aside for the public theaters." When a little tree blows over in the wind it Isnt because it was a LTTTLB tree. And it doesnt blow over because there are great trees near it- After it taa blown over yon see waere the break comes that it is de cayed within.1, jSreaty thousand Athenians with a leader like Themistocles could do uytbing, conquer any odds. And' the same number could be conquered by anybody' after they had passed a law .punishing with death the man- who would let patriotism interfere-with. pleaMre. t.

Carelessly, as though It doesnt Bakl much difference, it Is sug gested that the House" .and Senate, "getting ready to reorganize the military' branch, will establish In this coaatry a standing army of about five hundred thousand men." A man in the story written by Shelley's wife Ingeniously con trived a powerful monster called "Frankenstein." Presently he wished he -hadn't. , A man named William Hohen--xollera. built a gigantic standing army. He could not resist the temptation to give it a "tryout." Now at night be-szca above his head the French guillotine, the English noose, the suicide's pistol, and asks himself: "Whlchr There are powerful men in the United States that have always wanted a great standing army. They found that men hired from Pinkerton in great strikes were not satisfactory. There are men of power and wealth with better Intentions who say: "What harm can there be in a great standing army? At least, it will always protect property, stability and conservatism." But will it? The Czar had a great landing army. Trotzky and Lenine have It 'now. Be careful how yon build a dangerous weapon that somebody else may take from yon and use against you.
