MY OPINION OF JULIUS CESAR.
Bv member of Glass E.

Julius Caesar. as ruler of Rome, won great
name and was looked up to by the Romans as a
god rather than a human being, and he is given
a place III their history one of the greatest
men Rome ever produced. Yet fail to see why
he should have been idoliZed by them, as he
did more for them than any other patriot
would have done. He fought and won a few
battles and brought to Rome much treasure and
many slaves: this was not accomplished for the
benefit Of the Romans, but to enable him to live
the eXtravagant life that history credits him
with living. When the proceeds OF one campaign
had been spent he commenced another to get
more. His nObleness extended no further than
TO win wealth SO that he might live in plenty
and crafty every wish. man of courage he
undoubtedly was; but he was also hard-hearted
and did not deserve the praises that were given
him. His courage would have been credit to
him indeed, had he used it TO help the oppressed
instead of being the oppressor.
