A PROPHECY THAT SEEMS TO BE COMING;
TRUE.
•The republic, which ia not yet ripe, but which In »
century will embrace the whole of Europe. signifies that
society Is it* own sovereign. It protects itself b.v mean*
of its citizen-soldiers; Judge* Itself by trial by Jury, ad-
minister* H* own affair*, by loral government; rules
itself by popular representation. The four limb* of
monarchy—the standing army, the court*, the bureauc-
racy, the peerage—are for the republic only four trou.i. -
tome excrescence* which nr* withering up and will
aoon tie."
These prophetic words were written in 1830 by
'the great French novelist, Victor Hugo. At that j
'time the reaction from Napoleonic times had set in j
strong in Europe. Everywhere the kings were «m
preme and the people prostrate.
Hugo’s own France was to have ' ; .
king until the war of 1870 drove the wli.-’c
out. Europe is not yet given over to republican
I government, but Hugo’s century still has 13 years
'to go and the present war between democracy and
autocracy may hasten the blood-stained march "t
'human liberty.
Just see what has happened since Hugo wrote:
France is a republic. Tt has been a stable one lor
47 years. England is now a constitutional mon-
archy in which the people have as many liberties
as in a republic. In fact the monarch is a mere
gilded figure-head.
The new Italy has arisen from the ..'-anting ot
the various little Italian states. AUho it has a king,
parliament, elected by the people, rules. Norway
has broken away from Sweden" and for a time n
was touch and go whether the country would de-
clare for a republic or for the limited kingdom
which it finally adopted. Portugal some six years
ago cast out kings and has been a republic ever
since. Only the other day Russia revolted.
Viewed from this standpoint the most back-
ward countries in F.urope are the central powers
Germany, Austro-Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey.
In each of these the monarch is superior to the so-
called representative bodies and the latter have little
or no voice in the election of the responsible min-
isters, these being under the orders of the crown
°nlyThe defeat of the central powers, therefore,
will be as much for their own good as for that of
the rest of the world. If American arms can help
topple over the kingly cast in the enemy countries,
if our might can help bring democracy into its own
al over Europe, the date of our entrance into the
world-war will be the most important in the an-
nals of liberty. _______

WHERE THIEVES GET~ TOGETHER.
Many strange things have conic out of the Rus-
sian revolution, but none stranger than a convention
just held at Rostoff-on-the-Don.
This was a convention of thieves—men who had
preyed on society in all manner of illegitimate ways.
They said they had gathered to demand a place in
the new freedom, and a chance to turn over a new
Imagine a convention of thieves and safe-
blowers in Madison Square Garden or Chicago Audi-
torium l . , . . , , .
Imagine a gathering of confessed pickpockets
and strong arm men in Dreamland Rink, San bran-
cisco, or in a public plaza in New Orleans!
You have guessed it right. The reserves would
come on the double quick.
But at this convention of thieves in Russia the
chief of militia was an invited guest, as were other
government officials, and pleas were made for help
in giving the thieves a chance for an honest life.
This is one of the most amazing of all the amaz-
ing stories from Russia. And it brings up all over
again in a new light the question of whether society
makes thieves, or whether they just happen, like
Topsy.
New restaurant fad is reported—menus with
patriotic songs printed on the backs. What we want
to sec is some menu with 1914 prices printed on
the front.

HOW NOT TO MAKE FRIENDS.
The best editorial we have seen lately was
written by a motion picture actor. He calls himself
Fatty A'buckle. You may have heard of him.
Fatty’s editorial was merely a couple of pic-
tures—of himself—in an ad.
One picture showed him austere, dignified, for-
bidding, looking sternly out of the northeast corner
of his eye over the left shoulder of the reader. He
was about as inviting a subject in this picture as a
sabor-toothed boar from the African jungle.
Under this picture Fatty, or the enterprising
advertising man, had written: "How not to make
friends.”
The other picture showed Fatty with his nat-
ural smile. You can guess what was under that
picture. You can guess what the moral is to this
slight tale.
