appealed to its readers all over the
country to vote on the question OF the
relative pre-eminence of great French
men OF the last century. Fifteen million
answers have been received, and what
gives value to this striking democstra-
ton Is that we have here the opinion Of
average France. not that Of a political
coterie or of cultivated elite. The
world knows now approximately what
France things OF her great men and
what her conception IS Of civic duty. as
well as of intellectual and moral dis
tinction. 1t Is the revelation to the for
eigner OF an idealism certainly unsus-
pected. Only those observers who have
had the privilege of studying the evo-
luton of the French mind and feeling
over an unbroken series OF years on the
spot were aware OF the profound trans
formation which the republican school
system and stable republican govern
ment In general have affected in the
points OF view Of the present genera
ton of Frenchmen.
The winner of the recent contest Is
Pasteur. Victor Hugo runs him close,
having received 1.227. JOB votes against
L3Ss.425 for the world-renowned man of
science But 1t is characteristic that
two men of peaceful pursuits should
precede on the list those great French
men who might have appeared at first
sight to have contributed to that spe-
cial kind of glory known as French.
Gambetta follows Victor Hugo with
ll55,612 votes. Then come Napoleon L
