- ONEWHERE about this time, 2409
years ago, died Pythagoras Of Sa-
mos. one Of the most remarkable
men in the whole history Of the race.
Around the name OF this wonderful
man fable has woven all sorts OF mar
vels. but we must remember, after au
impossible traditions have been dis
carded, that it is never the ordinary
mortal whom fable exalts into its
poetic realm
As a great modern thinker observes:
Wherever you find romantic or mi
raeulous deeds attributed, be sure that
the hero was great enough to sustain
the weight of his crown Of fabulous
glory"
For MANY years Pythagoras was the
oracle and high-priest Of one Of the
most iIIustrious societies Of antiquity;
was looked upon as being little less
than a god; while his influence was

ment, that came so opportunity for tae
struggling American patriots, there en-
tered three factOrs-the consummate
tact and perseverance OF Benjamin
Franklin: the real genuine sympathy
OF the French people, and the poltical
motive Of the French government
The king and his cabinet cared not
a rush for the American cause Ner-
gennes. than whom a cra1uer ana
more unprincipIed minister never lived
would not have lifted a finger TO as
sist US had II not been for the tacJ
thar he hated England, and hoped by
helping US, to find some way OF geIIlnS
back at that power for having driven
the French out Of Canada. But Tor
that thought Louis and his minister
would never have consented to the al
Franklin. whose astuteness was on a
par with his love of country, under
stood the situation perfectly He knew
that the French government did not
care a fig for American success; ana
he also knew that while the French
people sympathized with US. that that
sympathy would have but little weight
with the heTsdllAGE pOAlL4GldlA6 81 LAAS
only thing he could do was to keep
that wonderful tongue Of his busy en-
couraging the court gentlemen IN
thinking that by helping the United
States to heat England they would be
putting Francs in q position to retrieve
some of the hOnOrs she had lost by the
peace Of Paris in 1888.
And glOriously well did our grand
old Benjamin do his work. His mas
sive brain-agile as 1t was powerful
kept that hOneyed tongue going IN
season and out Of season, with the re-
suit that Vergennes was won over and
the treaty secured
There can be no doubt that the
French alliance was Of incalculable
benefit to US. As Fisk remarks: Both
in itself and in the European compli-
cations to which il led, the action OF
France very seriously crippled the
efficient military power OF England 1t
locked up and neutralized much Brit
ish energy that would otherwise have
been directed against the Americans"
IN addition we must reckon on the
direct benefit that came to US from the
six or seven thousand soldiers that
were sent over by France, who, in con-
junction with the French fleet, did such
solendtd service at Yorktown.
II is possible, and probable, that we
could have won our independence with
out the French alliance; but it Is Ger
tain that without such alliance the
var would not have ended when 1t
did.
