The island of Arran is one OF those
places on the west of Scotland where
the geologic phenomenon known as

along the coast there are evidences
that the land has been considerably

! Theophile Braga IS a poet, author
and idealist. who lives in a cottage
and who has suffered long for his re-
publican principles. That the revolu-
tionists chose such a man to head the
new republic shows not only that their
hearts are in the right place. but also
that some poets are honored before
they are dead.
Portugal is but one more link in
the chain OF republics that is to en-
girdIe the world. The first link Of this
chain was the United States of Amer
lea.
America Republican Progenitor.
When our Declaration of Independ-
ence was adopted there was not a real
republic on the face of the earth. The
Swiss republic did not properly come
into existence until many years later.
In 177G Switzerland was under a can
tonal government corresponding some
what to our articles Of confederation.
The so called Dutch republic was aris-
tocratic, and the stakeholder was vir-
tually a hereditary king. Not only so,
but there had never been a republic
according to the new ideals. The re-
pubIics of Greece and Rome and later
those of Italy were only so in name.
The birthday of the American re-
public was really the dawn of the re-
publican age in all the world. the glory
of which we have not as yet begun to
see. Herein is the chief honor of
America. Compared to it our material
splendor is but cheap and vulgar. We
hold the hope of the world. Our torch
of liberty has shed a light into al
lands, and it will be well for US If we
feed the flame. The CRATER, the
mammonist, the reactionary, who dc
aught to subvert or regard popular
government here in the land Of its
birth are not only enemies of Their
country, but foes to the best hopes OF
all mankind.

Paine a True Forecaster.

Under the very shadow of the gull
lotine Paine risked his reputation by
writing for religious liberty. He pro-
posed the republic of Europe. He fore
cast most of the reforms that have
occurred since his day. among them
the emancipation of the slaves, the
end OF duelinC, the age Of peace. the
single land tax and the rights Of wO-
men. He wrote, The world is my
country. to do good my religion"
II Washington was the Father of His
Country. to Thomas Paine will be re-
served a yet higher title. When at
last real history is written by men
who can look above the fogs Of preju-
| dice Paine will be recognized as the
/ father of the republican era in the
/ whole world.
When poor Paine died he was fol
/ lowed to his grave by only a woman
/ and her two sons whom he had be
! friended, by q Quaker preacher and a
negro. Yet every new republic erect
! ed is his monument
Such a man can afford to wait for
the recognition of the ages.
Forever the right comes uppermost.
And ever is justice done.
! If that is true the world at last will
nut the name of Thomas Paine as
high as before it has dragged 1t low.
Paine kindled the fire of independ-
ence and republicanism in America,
and America in turn kindled it in other
nations.

~NHE republic of Portugal is the

; it is a child of the American

such should be enthusiastically vel

Portugal in area is not much larger
shan the state of Maine and in popula-
ton is but little bigger than New York
city, yet the size of a world event can
not always be measured by footrule
or counted by the head. Portugal
may start a fire in Europe that will
burn far and consume several other
thrones before the flames are Quenched.
