NE HUNDRED AND TWENTY YEARS ago to-day the King | and Queen of France were hustled out of their palace through | a howling mob to a precarious refuge in a legislative assembly |, where royalty was at that moment a football. Through the long An- | qust day Louis XVI. and Marie Antoinette sat in a reporters’ box be- | ‘@ ecreen, forced to listen to blood and thunder denunciations of deings and all their works. Nor was there any dowht that what the lawmakers were saying the nation was thinking. In that brief walk from the Tuileries to the Legislative Assembly the monarch of France had heard himeelf | jeered and hissed like a thief going to the gallows, and his beautiful | wife pelted with names and insults that would have made a fishwife | Bush. People, legislators, army—all had had enough of kings and | their kind. All day the gorgeous Swiss Guards, the only armed men that re- mained loyal, in their gold lace and impnssive calm, Hefended the royal | palace, the last symbol of the monarchy, against the rabble of rioters and liberty-mad soldiers. Then at last the trembling King was per- | suaded to send an order to the Swiss to “cease firing upon his faithful | people.” With superb discipline the order was obeyed. Whereupon | the “faithful people” burst through the palace gates, swarmed up the broad staircases, massacred the Swiss Guards and filled the great halle with the shoutings and tramplings of triumphant republicanism. | The monarchy was over. It is a famous picture—one of the most famous in history. After) centuries of writhing under a crushing weight of power and oppres- | tion the nation threw off its tyrants and savagely put them out of the | way. All violences, all horrors have been forgiven that new France struggling to start the ball rolling in new grooves, to make practical | democracy march under the glorious banners of Liberty, Equality, Fraternity. Never was nation more fiercely enthusiastic, more rabid for freedom and liberty. What happened? After the revolution the nation found itself | campaign cry: Every career open to talent!

His “I serve” became “I command.” | The affaire, great and small, of the whole country weré straightway | stamped with thousands and thousands of imperial I’e. Then with his I’s and his armics and his ambitions he gathered France into his hand and beat and battered her against the walls of foreign power And under that Perpetual Candidate liberty was lost sight of and government became a greater tyranny than the Bourbons had ever dreamt of. Because the Candidate's tyranny was the worst of all tyrannies, the tyranny of one strong, selfish man over the imagina-| tions and hopes of # free people. That is what happened to the eager nation that surrendered itse!f strong and brilliant Candidate who began by crying “All things to The best man in the world is only fit to he at the head of a great government of free people so long as he can say “TI serve.” Beware the moment when he cries “I will,” and an awed nation is ready to whisper “We obey.” $$$.
