The extreme factiousness of politics
in modern Athens is close reproduc-
ton Of the state of affairs in the an
cient city. Cfmon no longer roars to the
silent populace from the crumbling
bema on the barren slope of the Pnyx,
but TIE demagogne is just as prominent
a factor as ever. The orators of the
ecclesia are replaced by q throng Of
scribblers as partisan and as declama-
tory as the opponents of Periclee, The
method is modernizedHthat is ell.
There is the same curious mixture OF
intense patriotism and bitter party
strife.
The people grumble in precisely the
old strain Heavy taxation has been a
special grievance from the earliest
DAYS.
The king has ruined this, our poor
little country, with his army and his
taxes" protested Spero, my vivacious
and intelligent dragoman, as we rode
over the barren hills toward Marathon
not very long ago. And certainly there
is much truth in his complaint. The
national debt is overwhelming; the
country Is undevefoped; the currency
consists of deprecated paper closely
resembling the 'shinplasters" SO IA
mfliar during our own civil war. King
George, of course, considers the mill
tary establishment as essential to the
safety Of the nation. When Demos
themes. more than 1000 years ago, la
bored to persuade the Athenians TO ap-
ply their revenues to the maintenance
Of an army adequate to resist Philip
of Nacedon-the intriguing and en-
croaching monarch who answered to
the sultan in the politics Of that time
he was met with the same outcry.
When the crisis finally came, however,
and an effective army was seen to be
indispensable, they applauded him to
the echo; and the grumbler of to-day
is just as eager as the king for the ex-
tension Of the boundaries of Hellas.
For the dream of the Greek is a
united Hellas; but a united and indie
