The Greeneville daily sun. (Greeneville, Tenn.) 1918-1920, 1918-11-14
BY Arthur Brisbane, in Washington Times.

Fate and the have shaken the face of Europe as
child shakes the rolling particles within the kaleido-
scope.
The kaiser is to be replaced by republic in Germany
Little doubt of thatuness bolshevsm should win and
replace autocracy of the throne with autocracy of the
gutter.
In Constantinope the crescent that nearly five hun
dred years ago, placed the dome of Saint Sophia
will come down and the again take its placeuness
new kind of government by mob leadership should de-
eide that neither crescent nor cross is wanted.
The Poles that saved Vienna from the Turks, under
Sobieski, four hundred years ago. and that were
shaved and divided among their neghbors for their pains
are again to rule themselves selecting ter own kind Of
experiment.
The Turks are to stop numbering Armenians and the
world will learn what powers Of construction and ex-
pansion reside in that interesting people that combine
Christianity with Semitic blood and that have been sys
tematcally murdered by the Turks because the Turks
could not compete commercially in any other way
Europes famous "baance Of power" is suddenly lop-
sided and abandoned Western Europe has the war,
and except for Japan and the United States western
Europe controls the world
Having control of the worlds intelligence that result
was inevitable Intelligence wins and has all
in the end.
The head Of the worlds biggest machine becomes
a private citizen-although he will probably die without
knowing it. His partnership with the celestial regions
ends abruptly and the remaining chapters will be the
ending Of his relations with his people earth.
There are fewer than half dozen men living that
could enumerate clearly and completely the chief factors
in the problems that victorious democracy finds its
hands,
The kaisers right to rule is settled How about the
alleged rights of millions dreaming dreams in Russia
waving the red flag in Germany, and declaring that they
will not be ruled at all?
How will territories suddenly deprived of organized
government be kept going and the populations fed?
they are not fed, what will happen?
To say to various peoples 'You free, you may
govern yourselves" does not mean anything. How are
they to govern themselves? Government is a growth.
1t was never made overnight Plato or Carl Marx could
map it out on paper But model government on paper
does not deliver milk and rolls in the morning
age to do their best by protecting them in the pos
session of what they produce.
All sciences combined could not crate quivering
jeysh without the aid of that mysterious thing called
fe Scientists do experiment with the problem of life
production in its lowest FORMS But none would ever
dream Of attempting to create vertebrae Infinitely
more complicated than any vertebrate is human govern
ment the mental association Of millions Of primates
The scientists Of government approach with fine
age the problem Of creating government Many sur
prses and disappointments ahead Of them.
Man are not free merely because has treated
them justly slaves because they have been unjusy
treated They free because they have proved them
