and Charlemagne, and Genghis Khan, and
Tamerlane, and Napoleon, and William
Hohenzollern. Except for the Kaiser, who
is chopping wood in Holland, these eight
would-be domnators are dust and a great
part of the world still dedicated to freedom
is dealing pretty vigorously with the ninth.
None of these men were defeated by the
disciples of despair, nor yet by those who
made merry in the conviction that tomorrow
we die They were defeated by people who
believed they could be defeated; by people
who faced facts, unafraid, and were ready to
