- What the Bastille Meant By the Rev. Thomas B. Gregory MAGINE etght massive round towers, connected by walls of tremendous thickness, the whole surrounded by a ditch twenly-five feet in depth, and you have a mental picture of the Bastille, the gloomy pile the fall of which on July 14, 1789, ushered in the great French Revolution Bullt by Charles V. in 1369, the Bastille stood for more than 400 years the embodiment of all that was hateful to French people. " For four centuries the only argument used by the French Kings and. +» their henchmen in answer to the popular appeals for justice was the famous | order, “To the Bastille!” The argument was final, for behind it stood the Dower that was as Irresistible as it was remorseless. Did any one dare to protest against the doctrine that the people were born to toll for the Kings and the aristocrats, he was instantaneously hustled off to the Bastille, there to change hia mind or go mad. Did genius utter some thought that had not been submitted to the cen- sor, the Bastille opened its jaws for the criminal, and he came not forth until he had learned to keep to himself the trust that inspired his soul. } The “Man in the Iron Mask” was no myth to the people of France. His | story was that of thousands. The “Mask” was merely the symbol of the complete loss of identity that came to many of the unfortunates who were \il-fated enough to be thrown into that damp and suniess prison, | To the French people the Bastille was the symbol of the cruelty and greed that made their life a living hell, By the year 1789, the King and his favorites had about starved France to death. Some 150,000 nobles in state and church owned the Nation. Three-ffths of the land of France belonged to them, and the remaining two-fifths were made to pay all the taxes. The 160,000 were the masters, and the 25,000,000 were but little better than thelr slaves, | If an acre produced seventy-five francs, fifty went to vie tax-gatherer, and the other third was halved between the landlord and the cultivator. Children helped feed their parents; women were harnessed beside cattle to do the ploughing. Squalor and degradation were everywhere, | Jame was preserved for the great, while the poor man who killed a rabbit to keep himself from starving was hanged. The King spent 250,000,000 francs a year on his household and in making | Presents to his favorites, many of whom were the recipients of princely sal- | aries for doing nothing. | Noblemen amused themselves by practising marksmanship upon work- | men upon their estates, and when the matter was reported to the King he vould simply throw himself back and laugh. The killing of peasants by | noblemen seemed to his Majesty an {nexpressibly funny thing! All of this came to an abrupt ending on that never-to-be-forgotten 14th of July, 1789, when the maddened people stormed the Bastille, and thus set n motion that paroxysm of “Truth clothed in hell fire,” known as the French Revolution. | Where the Bastille stood during those four terrible centuries now rises | | the beautiful column of the Place de Ja Bastille, standing beside which one may learn to be bravely hopeful for the future. Truth is not “FOREVER on the scaffold,” nor 1s wrong “FOREVER on the throne.” The poet who wrote those lines was, for the time being, sick Poets are healthier to-day and write in a more optimistic Truth has been on the scaffold many times, ried to strangle her, but without success.
