Hf u L i a i Thy UST one hundred years ago in 1821 there was carved out of the face of @ rock - cliff above fake Lu cerne in Switzer land, one of the most majestic monuments at this day vinibie on earth, Thor waldsen’s “Lion of Lucerne.” It is erected to the memory of the Swiss guard, consisting of 26 offi cers and 160 soldiers, who died at their post in Paris, defending the Tulllertes. They died August 16, 179%. This is the anniversary of their heroism. For them the tion ts cut out of the living rock.

On thie Gay the Swiss will gather about that noble mongment, and Americans will be there with them, and they will commemorate the heroism of those Swiss soldiers, who died at their post, The world will always honor hero ism, and we will pay our tribute to the courage of those 786 officers and men, each of whom gave his life courageously. Having done that, let us remind ourselves that those men deserved to die, It would have been a ead thing if they had not died. What business had those free Swiss republicans there, guarding tn their last refuge of iniquity, the guilty representatives of a corrupt monarchy? Why were those ¢ree bern sons of a republic there, sell tng thetr birthright for a mess of pottage? They learned thetr courage tn a | home of freedom; why 4id they sell it for lust of lucre to the foes of the freedom they loved?

Not even the fortitude of | their devotion oan keep us from r membering that they died because they were fighting on the side of oppression and corruption. It is a good thing that not even) devoted courage can save so bad a) cause. Having said this, we bow for s moment in reverence before Thor- waldsen's mighty masterpiece. And we honor also the courage which it commemorates, But !t was courage sold to a bad cause. It did not avail to save that cause.
