READ HISTORY.

The Great Napoleon dying in exile at St. Helena, sent
last letter to the little he WOrshped and whom ne
had hardly seen. "Read history" he wrote, and again
read history The study of the past was to him the one
foundation of true understanding and true philosophy
1t does not matter how views the conquerors stu
pendous work of far-flung dreams of empire No one
today questions his sheer ability, his insight into and
matters his breadth of statesmanlke vision He loved
the little king of Rome, the duke of Rechstad who was
to die brokenheared before he had the chance to try
his eaget's wings We may believe fathers love in
spred the last advice he gave his The mere con-
sderaton of who that father should to make
that advice seem worth the while.
1t was evident that the pacsts do not read history
The last of land like that of every other,
flutes their arguments There was a time when Thomas
Jefferson dreamed Of disarmament. He thought
going navy worthless and urged the construction Of gun
boats and floating batteries instead. No real
would not safeguard it's seaborns trade Great Britain
and imperial France both took liberties We fought
and learned at the cost of enormous loss and national
humiliation what unpreparedneSs meant The lesson bore
no fruit
At the close of the civil the United States init
mated to France that the presence of the imperial troops
who supported MaXmlans shaking throne in Mexico
undesred France did not fight The United States
prepared than before since, and the mere
movement of 10000 Americans toward the Rio Grande
brought speedy evacuation of Mexico The Monroe doc
trne which had been threatened at very DOORS
upheld and strengthened
and the past proves it. When nothing can prevent war
and it that such times come preparedness makes
war infinitely less costly. 1t shortens wars horrors
Engands plight in the great should be lesson enough
If prefer to study at home American history will lead
you to the same conclusion Plain Dealer.
