THE MINISTER OF POLICE 2

Two hundred years ago. on the 2Ssh
day OF June. Jean Jacques Rosseau
was born In Geneva. Sxitzerlan'L
France is celebrating the bicentennlli II
Of his birth in the fervent. enthusiast
tic manner OF that race. Although
Rosseau's name can net be directly
connected with America. the fact re-
mains. nevertheless. that certain ~
his writings and teachings had di-
rect influence in bringing about our
revolution In ITs5. which preceded fha
great upheavai in F-anee. RosseaH's
writings set the whole OF Europe
Afame. and sparks from that Gre we're
borne across the ocean. For Ameri-
cas- connection at that time was Inti-
mate with both England and France.
and the tspers OF Thomas Paine and
Thomas jefferson were undoubtedly
lighted at the great fame kindIcd by
Hosseau.
Perhaps no more picturesque figure
has adorned the pages of history thAa
this dreamer. Dirty and unkempt. IA
nous for his laxincSs. and with a great
appetite for absinthe. RosSeaa was a
familiar figure In the Paris OF his
time. He was the leader OF group
OF pamphIetcers. and King Louis and
his band OF royal consplrators dread
ed his uticrances more than they
would have dreaded a plague CARLYLE
waR among the FIRST to assign Rosseau
his just place. selecting him for his

remained for a modern writer vlvidly
to set him forth as character in al
authentic historical novel. and this Is
