JULIOS CAESAR’S
CHARACTER AND HOW
HE DIED 44 B. C.
(By John Sauer*)
Casius Julius Caesar is one of the
greatest ment of all history. His
youth was bold but dissolute. His
courtesy and personal charm won
the hearts of all, so that even his
enemies dreaded interviews with
him, for fear that they should be
drawn to his side.
Caesar was not only a reformer,
but a broad minded, intellectual
genius, with a strong man’s delight
in ruling. He saw clearly what was
to be done ami did it. Caesar and
Alexander art' the two greatest
captains uho did the most for civili
zation. Alexander intermingled
the eastern civilization with that of
the west, thus making a higher ci
vilization, and Caesar checked the
Germun invasion, until Roman civi
lization had time to do its work and
to prepare the way for the coming
of the Christian church.
The seven campaigns in five
years after Caesar crossed the Ru
bicon, left less than eighteen
months for reorganization. In that
short time Caesar released all
debtors from further claims, refound
ed Carthage and Corinth and equal
ized taxation, took a census, remade
the calendur, and began great pub
lic works in all parts of the empire.
By his murder the work was left
unfinished, so it s impossible to tell
what Caesar would have done if he
had lived.
He was murdered on the 15th of
March 44 B. C., by a group of jeal
ous nobles led by Cassius and Brut
us his friend. In the senate house
they crowded about him, fawning as
if to ask a favor, then they sudden

ly drew their daggers. Caesar
stood on the defense until he saw
his friend Brutus among his • as
sassins; then drawing his toga
about him he resisted no longer, but
sank at the foot of Pompey’s sta
tute, stabbed in twenty-three
places.
His murder was unpardonable.
It struck the wise monarch not the
monarchy, and left his work to be
completed after another period of
anarchy by smaller men.
Wc owe much of our modern cul
ture and refinement to Caesar.
John Fiske, an American histor
ian said: *4We ought to be thank
ful to Caesar every day of our
lives.”
RALPH'S TRIUMPH AT SCHOOL
Ralph’s poor marks at school
were a source of constant disap
pointment to his parents, and his
mother, after painting in alluring
colors the career of other little boys
who were on the honor roll, went
even farther and promised her
young hopeful a whole quarter all
his own if he came home that night
wdth good marks. “Oh, mother,
mother,” he shouted, fairly dancing
with poy as he came home on the
eventful day, “I got a hundred.”
“Ralph!” cried the delighted
mother, she hugged anu \issed
him with joyous pride. Then giv
ing him the quarter, she said:
“And what did you get a hundred
in, pet?”
“In two things,” replied Ralph. “I
got sixty in spellin’ and forty in
’rithmatic.”

MONROE DOCTRINE
THEME OF DEBATE
BY ATHENEOMS
The program for the meeting of
the Atheneum society on March 20,
1917, was a debate: “Resolved that
the Monroe Doctnne Should be
Abolished.”
The debaters were Jack Sauers
and John Sullivan on the affirma
tive, against Elizabeth Torrey and
Aldoren Carlson, on the negative.
The chief points on the affirmative
were:
That the Monroe Doctrine has
been outlived and is no longer suit
ed to tho conditions.
That people have no faith in it
and that the only reason England
favored it was to protect her
colonies here.
The Latin American countries do
not want it.
It cost a great deal.
It is apt to involve us in war.
The chief points on the negative
were:
That as it has been tested by time
and favored by all great statesmen,
it should stand until something de
cidedly better takes its place.
That it should be amended to
suit the times, but that as America
and Europe stand for such entirely
different standards, it should re
main to divide them.
Washington solemnly warned us
against entangling alliances with
old powers.
America for Americans.
Lincoln upheld it. If he had not
and European nations had been al
lowed to take part in our civil war,
we might have lost the South.
Both sides put up a good argu
ment, but the negative side won
unamiously.
