DR.. BARTON'S
DAMYLETTER
The LION
By DR.. William E. Barton

By DR.. William E. Barton
TUST one hundred years ago in
1921, there was carved out of the
face of rock-cliff above Lake Lu-
cerne in Switzerland, one of the most
majestic monuments at this day Wis
! ible on earth. Thorwaldsen's Lion of
Lucerne." 1t is erected to the memory
Of the Swiss guard, consisting or &c
officers and 760 soldiers, who died
at their post in Paris, defending the
Tuilleries.
They died August 10, 1892. This
is the anniversary of their heroism.
For them the lion is cut out of the
living rock He lies lhere dying,
transfiXed by a spear, and guarding
with his paw a shield which bears
emblasoned upon it the lilies of
France.
World WEI Honor
On this day the Swiss will gather
about that noble monument, and
Americans will be there with them,
and they will commemorate the
heroism of those Swiss soldiers, who
died at their post.
The world will always honor hero
ism, and we will pay our tribute to
the courage of those 1856 officers and
men, each of whom gave his life
courageously.
Having done that, let us remind
ourselves that those men deserved to
die. 1t would have been a sad thing if
they had not died.
What business had those free
Swiss republicans there, guarding in
their last refuge of iniquity, the
guilty representatives of a corrupt
monarchy? Why were those freedom
sons of republic there, selling their
birthright for a mess of pottage?
They learned their courage in
home of freedom; why did they sell
it for lust of lucre to the foes of the
freedom they loved?
Deserved to Die
1t is a harsh thiUg to say, but let
us say it bravelg-- they deserved to
die. The cause to which they had
sold themselves was damned and
doomed. Not even the fortitude of
their devotion can keep us from re-
membering, or ought to keep us from
remembering, that they died because
they were fighting on the side of OPP
preston and corruption.
1t is a good thing that not even
devoted courage can save so bad
cause. 4
Having said this, we bow for
moment in reverence before Thor
waldsen's mighty masterpiece. And
we honor also the COURAGE which it
commentaries. But it was courage
sold to bad cause. 1t did not avail
to save that cause

w wildly before us, with all its
absurdity, its futility, its utter stu
pidity, may we not suggest how diff
ferent the situation would be were
the plan suggested recently in these
columns now in effect? Under that
plan the legislative session would not
be limited by law, but only the num-
Der of days for which the members
of the Legislature could draw pay
would be limited. What a difference
there would be now should the pay
of the members of both houses stop
at midnight Wednesday and the SEES
sion continue until the calendar was
cleared and all business handled in
an orderly manner Well say that
bunch would have begun hitting the
BALI some days ago and arranging to
dispose of business so as to get away
from the capital without having to
put in much time without pay.
Present and recent Georgia legis-
latmes have been jokes and cruelty

tured their plans for memorial
buildings to perpetuate the memory
of the American soldiers who died
in the World War. Georgia is not
among them.
Unlike memorials erected after
previous wars, those now contem-
plated will serve some useful pur-
pose. They will combine beauty and
reverence with usefulness.
This same trend is evident in mem
orials that have been proposed IN
England and France.
The Strictly monument type of
memorial appears to have nearly run
its course. It's place is taken by
memorial Libraries, hospitals, auditor
