Prof. Fielding opened his talk BY
explaining that a political dreamer is
one who, living in the past would
turn the clock backwards and build up
empires; while the political idealist
is he who realizes that all power
springs from the people. In the for
mer class he placed Alexander the
Great, Charles First. OF England, and
Louis 18th of France. and in the lat
ter, George Washington. Cromwell and
Lafayette. The ideals Of the latter
live, while the former have died
Hohen1Ollerns Must Pay.
The history Of the HOhenzOllern
dynasty from the time OF the father
OF Frederick the Great to the present
was traced by the speaker. wsO told
how the dominant idea WIS always
that the people do not count lie re-
lated how Frederick the Great was
enamored of a girl not Of the blood
royal and how his father eXiled the
boy and had the girl, stripped OF her
clothing, lashed through the streets Of
Berlin. such acts as that have to
be paid for by the blood OF HOhen-

speaker concluded. 'Kultur," he said,
lis the doctrine OF might over right
Man had left that doctrine thousands
OF years ago in the past and the Ho-
henzollerns have dug back into the
scrapheap and revived it That's why
I say Germany is a nation Of the
past"
