AMERICAN AND ROMAN
LAND SYSTEMS IDENTICAL.
Cincinnati Pastor Sees Dangers Ahead
If Reforms Are Not Made in the
Land Laws of the United States
Money Getting Was the Chief Ahn
of Rome and is the Chief Aim of
Americans Draws a Deadly Paral
lel of Social Conditions.
y
Cincinnati, Jan. S. At the Vine
Street Congregational church New
Tear's evening, the pastor, Herbert S.
Blgelow, discussed the question: "Are
we going the way of Rome?" Mr.
Blgelow said In part:
If your house were on fire, you
would thank a man for telling you.
You would not waste time abusing
him for being a pessimist and looking
on the dark side of things.
If your neighbor thinks the Ameri
can republic is developing the same
tendencies which destroyed the Re
public of Rome, do not denounce
him. Read Froude's "Caesar" and
see If there Is not some ground for
his fears.
Between that Roman history and
our own there are points of contrast
to be sure. But there are also points
of likeness which should receive the
attention of all true patriots.
Splendid Temples, But No Religion.
First let us note the state of re
ligion. Of the religion of Rome
Froude has this to say: "Religion,
once the foundation of the laws and
rule of personal conduct, had subsid
ed Into opinion. The educated. In
their hearts, disbelieved It Temples
were still built with Increasing splen
dor; the established forms were scru
pulously observed. Public men spoke
conventionally of Providence, that
they might throw on their opponents
the odium of Impiety; but of genuine
belief that life had a serious meaning,
there was none remaining beyond the
circle of the silent, patient, Ignorant
multitude."
Of ourselves Tolstoi wrote, only lust
May: "The evils from which men of
the Christian world suffer is that they
have temporarily lost religion." Some,
he declares, "live without religion and
preach the uselessness of any religion
of whatever kind. Others holding to
that distorted form of the Christian
religion which is now preached, like
wise live without religion, professing
empty external forms, which cannot
serve as guidance for men."
"The whole spiritual atmosphere,"
said Froude, "was saturated with cant
cant moral, cant political, cant re
ligious; an affectation of high prin
ciple which had ceased to touch the
conduct, and flowed on in an Increas
ing volume of liuiincere and unreal
speech." Would It be necessary to
do more than change the tense to
make those words true of us?
Money by Any Means.
The history of the Standard Oil
Co., written by the late Henry D.
Lloyd, Is no doubt worthy of all confi
dence as a painstaking and conscien
tious report of the truth. How can
one help recalling this history when
he reads these words of Froude: "To
make money money by any moans,
luwful or unlawful became the uni
versal passion."
In politics It Is the same story. Lin
coln Steffen'a book, "The Shame of
the Cities," describes a condition
among us very like that which Froude
described when he said: "The elec
tions were managed by clubs and co
teries; and, except on occasions of
national danger or political excite
ment, those who spent most freely
were most certain of success."
if Rome had her mob maintained
at public expense, so has New York.
The New York Times states that dur
ing the first nine months of this last
year. 60,000 men sought shelter in
the municipal lodging houses, and It
was estimated that 600,000 people In
the metropolis alone were dependent
upon charity for their Christmas din
ner.
Great Question in Both Republics.
The great economic question in the
Roman republic was the land ques-

tlon. "To rescue the land iroro me
monopolists." That, according 10
th aim of Home's patri
otic statesmen. In that they failed
and for that reason more than any
other Borne perished. We have the
nme land laws that Rome had. Un
less we mend those laws so as to pre
vent a private monopoly or tne na
tinn's resources, we are as certain to
suffer the fate of Rome as like ef
fects are certain to follow like causes.

to Improve upon the Roman civilisa
