BASTILE DAY

CINCE men of France stormed the
~ Bastile and demolished that citadel Of
tyranny their country has known king
and emperor, and in other nations Of the
earth the autocrat has worked his will
and gambled with his peoples lives. But
no anniversary of that great event in the
history Of the struggle for liberty has
passed without relteration of its meaning
in all parts Of the world, and the democ.
racy Of which 1t was the symbol has ever
since been steadfastly at work leavening
the human mind and preparing II for the
great convulsion in which virtually all
civilization now participates.
The excesses OF the French Revolution,
deplorable as they were, emphasized the
purpose OF the revolt so dramatically as
70 fastcn on the period the Imagination
and the hopes Of succeeding generations,
and the doctrine taught by the great po-
litical philosophers of that time has rung
with never-decreasing eloquence through
every era that has since passed The
great American experiment might have
been vetoed by the rest Of the world had
not France indorsed It in the blood OF the
Revolution. In celebrating Bastile Day
we celebrate organized acceptance of our
program in Europe and that reinvigora-
tion Of the principles Of liberty which as.
sured their perpetuation.

CITIZEN SOLDIERS

VERY personal and intimate sympathy
and good wishes go from the city to
its national guardsmen, who enter the
Federal service tomorrow. These citizen
soldiers believed in preparedness years
before others began to talk about it. In
times Of profound peace they gave up
much Of their time to learn the art Of
war. voluntarily and without pay, and
thereby assumed a more responsible citi.
zenship than others. But six days out
of seven they were modestly indistin.
guishable from the rest of u.s. going about
their work in citizens clothes, which, they
rightly thought, were the best uniform
of all.
The trouble in militarism has always
come from setting aside the military from
the citizenry, making them separate
classes in the community. Nowhere since
ancient times has this class distinction
been carried so far as in Prussia, where
men virtually ceased to be citizens when
they put on uniform and became some.
thing more important than citizens to
the Prussian mind So 1t was in Rome's
ueCdyb "neH lOICe Tuleu. IN trying TO
put down a mutiny one OF the emperors
cried Soldiers, obey me or l shall no
longer address you as soldiers but
merely as citizens" In this republic it
is the other way about. Our commander.
in-ohief is a plain citizen in black"
Ideally the whole army should be made
up Of national guardsmen; that is, of men
who combine military and civil concep.
tions in their daily life. In every country
in Europe the fear has been expressed
about what the army will do when 1t
comes home" Even in England there has
been talk OF a social revolution impend.
ing on the return of 100000 soldiers to
civil life.
But no arrogance Of arms can be ex.
pected from our guardsmen. Keeping fit
and drilling never meant for them the
abandonment Of their votes their domes.
tic ideals or their life work. Their very
name is the symbol OF true military chiv.
alry-"guards." Protectors are not
aggressors

1T CAN BE DONE

HAYWOOD, of the 1. w. w, says that
l. you can't mine copper with machine
guns or dig It with bayonets" But that
is just what you can do and what every
nation does when it has to- The Chicago
strikers told President Cleveland that he
couldn't run mail trains with bayonets.
But he did. That was in time of peace
How much more can it be done in time
OF war!
Every corner mailbox stands in place
through the fact Of machine guns and
bayonets. Some day the only power that
will stand between the I. w. w. and the
infuriated mob may be those same
weapons of Federal authority

Starting a Revolution

The hare facts are these Hungry Paris,
cha Ang under the rule of an incompetent
and blundering King, was already in a
stata Of insurrection. After several days
~ rIoting, the mob-mind became focused
on the Bastlle, emblem Of centuries of re-
nression and absolutism. The insurgents
attacked the Hotel des Invalides, seized all
the arms stored there and then assailed
tbe Bastile. The garrison was small and
tfisheartened, and after some hours of
NghtinR, De Launay, the Governor sur
rendered on promise OF quarter Neverthe-
less he and several of his men were slain

access 10 the royal apartments and told his

HOW TYRANNY'S
CASTLE FELL
Capture of the Bastile, July Ia,
1889, as Described by
Thomas Carlyle

HNHEY still tell the story in Paris Of the
i American tourist who spied an omnibus
marked Bastile, coziiy sat In the vehicles
FIRST class" compartment, as good Ameri-
cans always do, stepped out at the END
OF the route and was astonlshed TO ind
not frowning prison walls at all, but
handsome open square. Even the graceful
and lofty pillar that adorned 1t gave no
clue to the most significant history of the
spot for the liberty.capped Column of July
commentaries a later revolution than that
of July H. 1883.
II the bewildered traveller like so many
before and after him, had not neglected to
"see America first" he could have beheld
in his own land the sole substantial relic
of the once terrible Bastile. The great
iren key of that fortress lies in the stately
old manor of Mt. Vernon on the Potomac,
gift from the Marquis de Lafayette to Pres
ident George Washington.
The fitness of that present makes it the
perfect link between the free Republic of
France and the United States. In the
spiritual sense America herself was indeed
the key to the Bastile. The propriety of
her possessing the physical instrument
that unlocked It powerfully appealed to
Gallo acuteness OF taste. IL was beau
tlful gesture" as the French say, this
dispatching by Lafayette Of the ancient
Bastile key to him who had been his first
teacher of the immortal gospel Of freedom.
. Very probably before our thoughtless
tourist had finished reconstructing his no.
tions of history he was informed by oblig-
ing bystanders that the missing Bastile was
destroyed on July IA, 1889 This belief is
fairly common the world over even in
France. AS a matter of fact, however the
sinister stronghold of tyranny was merely
captured on that illustrious day The raz-
ing of its walls was conducted in orderly
and official fashion during a later stage of
the French Revolution. But the actual TAX
ing was, of course, the significant event
marking the end of the old order of OPP
preston and the dawn Of the new era OF
liberty. Belloc, Theirs, Guizot, Dickens
though with fictional trimmings-and many
others have sought vividly to describe the.
so-called fall" (really the taking Of the
Bastile). Thomas Carlyles description, how
ever. remains the classic. His French
Revolution" has been criticized for being
so rhapsodic as to be actually uninforma-
tive hut as the capture of the Bastile was
essentially a rhapsody of emancipation the
men that pictured It as such was superbly
employed
