America and Rome.

There are many other obvious rea-
sons why the greatest republic Of the
twentieth century should not follow the
course Of the greatest republic Of the
past. Nevertheless, II is well to remem-
ber that the same course has been fol-
lowed by very many republics of the
past, great and little alike. Liberty is
a rare and beautiful blessing; but. like
many other blessings. 1t becomes indif-
ferent from too great familiarity. AS
has been well said of 1t, it is won with
long struggle, suffering and sacrifice; il
is lost with such apathy and indiffer-
ence that the transformation has taken
place even before it is perceived. AT any
rate the stanchest believer in manifest
destiny" cannot but admit that the
study OF old-time mistakes is of the
greatest value and interest for modern
achievement And, assuredly, any such
study of ancient Rome cannot be made
with a more suggestive and more thor
oughly human guide than NJ. Boissier.-
