that hints Of assassination, much less
does it excuse or justify it.
The entire history of human lib.
erty demonstrates that assassination
Of real or alleged tyrants has not only
never contributed to the advancement
Of mems freedom but has always re-
suited in riveting more tightly the fet-
ters Of autocracy upon the people who
have perpetrated it.
When Brutus and his fellow con
spirators stabbed Caesar to death in
the Roman forum their desire and in
tention were TO save the then waning
republic from the man Of ambition.
But the act resulted in the setting up
of the Roman empire, which for near.
~ FIVE centuries destroyed human lib
erty in Europe and left upon the hu.
man race the marks Of the bloodiest
tyranny mankind ever suffered.
The bloody record of the French
revolution, with its reign of assassin
alton and Wholesale murder, so far
from bringing to the people who had
been enslaved for centuries the lib
critics they sought, fettered them in
the chains of an imperial autocraey.

An interesting feature OF the occasion
was the planting Of a tree by the Danes
on the front lawn, overlooking the river,
after the adjournment Of business. The
tree was a silver maple. Mrs. Cox threw:
lin the first spadefnl of earth, and the
others followed suit.
Luncheon was served in the spacious

themums Mrs. Ramsey's health was
drunk by the Danes standing. Just be-
