What U grest nation and whit
a little nation?
A nation U treat while it baa
within itself the spirit that makes
grcatncsa. 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.

Carelessly, as though It doesnt

"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

army. He could not resist the
temptation to give it a "tryout."

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.
Please remember that there is
no country in the world in which
it would be more difficult than In
America to keep iu barracks five
hundred thousand IDLE men,
ready to obey orders from above,
always refraining from starting
