Love Thy Country
By EM1LE FAGUET.
(Member of the French Academy.)
Vnat is love of country? . ;
It Is the attachment of man to a cer
tain part of the soli of the earth where
tie was born and with which ha has
closer relations than with the . rest of
the world. In principle and primarily It
Is lore of what Is known and fear of the
unknown. . It Is love of the horizon with
which your eyes are familiar, strength
ened by the fear you feel when the
horizon changes.
Primitive man doesn't feel sate except
lthin his village' or within easy reach
of It There are enemies there, but there
are also friends and allies, and It Is with
a feeling of relief that he tees the smoke
from the huts of bis native place when
returning from an expedition or an ex
tended hunting trip. Of this feeling there
Mil, in spite of all civilization, always
remain something, . and It . Is even this
Mch Is the fundamental element of all
patriotism. , The great country will be
like the frame around the smaller coun
try, and when you return to the great
country after a long foreign trip you will
always have the feeling that you . are
gtttlng nearer to the little country, that
is to say your country, your home In a
narrower sense. What the traveler sees
In the cliffs of Havre is his small valley
In Limousin. ; . , ,
The Idea of country does not spring
from, but It Is certainly strengthened by,
all the thought that common interest and
common life may reveal. A festival, a
popular reunion after a vlctery or at the
end pf the grain or wine harvest gave
birth to the Idea of the larger family,
an - extended brotherhood, nomethln?
vhich though not as close ta you as
ycur brother or your children was never
, tnelets different from the feared or sus
pected foreigner. . This is the primitive,
the material country,
There is also a spiritual and mystic
country and this is the cemetery. La
martlne said: "It Is the ashes of the
dead that created the country."
Patriotism Is a union between the souls
of those who live and the souls of those
who have died. Into this union of souls
there enters the feeling of being of the
samo blood, the feeling of having been
brought up tn a certain manner with
certain ideas and sentiments wntch are
perpetuated and the feeling of gratitude,
"It was our fathers who cleared this
hill, exploited this forest and drained
these swamps." And notice that you do
not know whoso fathers, the father of
this man or the other man, did thoso
things. From this Ignorance the feeling
of country grows stronger, because I can
no longer distinguish the memories of
my fortefathers from those of my neigh
bors, and this create a solidarity of
memories, of respect and gratitude, and
this solidarity Is patriotism itself.
From the memories of the ancestors
springs the sympathetic prevision, the
kind thought of posterity. You say to
yourself: "Just as I honor the memory
of those who have cultivated this place
before me, so those who como after me
will honor the memory of me and I lov
to feel myself loved by those who com
after me." This' is a second solidarity,
the solidarity of those who are with those
who are to , come, and to Lamartlne's
vers we may add Nietzsche's word,
which is no less true nor less beautiful:
"Ubi pater sum, ibl patrla," and, if you
want to see these two sentiments ex
pressed together, then think of the say
ing of Jaurts: "You are attached to
this soil by all those who have rived here
before you and those who are to come
after you, by that which created you
and that which you create, by the' past
and the future, by the motionless graves
Und the rocking cradles."
This love of your native country and
this solidarity between those who are
and these who were, and between those
who are and those who are to 'come, is
enough to create a perfect, strong and
perhaps everlasting ; patriotism. It Is
very .interesting to see what Voltalr
thought of this patriotism, because he
was, perhaps, the man who most of all
was a stranger to this feeling and who
ironically asked:, "I wonder which was
the country of Abraham?"
I think, however, 'that Abraham's coun
try was his tribe, it was his forefathers,
his brothers, his countrymen and his chil
dren and grandchildren to whom he was
undoubtedly strongly attached. To ask
which Is the country of a patriarch is to
raise a very Interesting question.
Voltaire Insists: "Is not Colmbra the
country of a Jew from Colmbra? Still he
finds old enemies there. Is it perhaps
Jerusalem? He has heard vague sayings
to the effect that his ancestors, whoever
they were. Inhabited this stony and sterile
country bounded by an ugly desert, and
that the Turks are today masters of this
little country. Jerusalem Is not his coun
try. He has none. In all the world he
does not possess a single spot that he may
call his own." . . .
But how comes It then that the Jews
are the most patriotic people In the world,
most attached to anything that is Jew-
Ish? It is because . countryi is' tradition."
It Is because patriotism- Is solidarity in
the cult of tradition. The country of
this Jew Is neither Colmbra, nor Jeru
salem, one no more than the other his
country is Israel. And what makes pa
triotism so beautiful and so strong In
that It is not necessarily tied to a place,'
that It i.?ay be felt towards a race, and,
attached to a race, it is formidable.
Voltaire goes on; "Would this . word
(country) be a fitting one on the lips of a
Greek, who has never known that there
was a Miltlades, an Angesllaus, and who
knows only .that he is the slave of a
Jantrsary, who is the slave of an age, .who
again is the slave of Bacha, who is again
the slavo of a vizier or of the sultan V
, Voltaire is unlucky, for ho quotes as
people without a country the very people
who have shown themselves the most
patriotic of all, and as people without
patriotic memories ,the very, people who
have derived their patriotism from tUelr
memories.', It was because they thought
themselves the descendants of Mtltlades
and Agesllaus that the Greeks demanded
to be an independent nation. ; ,t ,
Voltaire continues: "Dare monks per
haps say that they have a country? It
Is, they say, In Heaven. Well and good.
It surely is nowhere in this world.',' . .
The country cf ' the monk, however, is
his order to which he is attached as is
the Jew to Israel .and . the Greek to
Hellas. The country Is the' succession
of men In 'a social organization which
lives on Its memories and traditions and
Is devoted to thm. ' The monk is even
the typical patriot, the patriot who has
created himself a country outside of the
recognized countries.' but nevertheless a
very real and strong one.
This is true unless Voltaire thinks of
the hermits, but hermits have always been
rare exceptions and the fact' that they
are so rare proves how strongly man
feels th need of having a country, real
or .artificial, most often rooted In some
soil, but sometimes only existing in his
mind and perpetuated by an organization.
Besides soil and tradition, the h'story I
of a country also is the country. This
historian may not always be a patriot,
but he nevertheless sows patriots. !;
"The ashes of the martyrs are precious
seeds." says Aublgne. ;
The . memories of ' the , ancestors con
signed to the ' books of history are
precious seeds, even those that germinate
fatally. "Pulvls verterum renovabltur."
Man of today is attached to 'his ancestors
by what he has heard of them, by the
vivid memory, of what he knows they
have done. Some one may ask: "Why
so? They have done wrong,, they have
had vices, they have committed crimes,
they have been rascals. There Is no rea
son why the tale of their deeds -should
create love of them and solidarity with
them." ' ;"' , ,"
You are very well aware, I answer, that
your father at least was "not altogether
a rascal and you remember only his good
qualities. This Is because he is - your
father .and the feeling of solidarity be
tween him and you automatically elimi
nates all or nearly all of his faults.
In the same way, while you read his
tory, you see what. was-good and what
was bad in your ancestors, but when you
think 'o them afterwards you remember
only their good qualities. ...
History is the great creator of patriots.
A nation which conquers another owes it
aS a first duty to itself to forbid the
conquered people to study and learn their
own history. ' '',! . ; , ,
STANDPAT SYSTEMS MUST GO
The Calendar, the Clock, Alphabet
and Other ., Hoary . Thins
Need Reform.
Annoyed at human inequalities and
asperities, several German savants . are
agitating a movement to systematize and
normalize the world. Principally, they
object to the present method of comput
ing time. In fact, they propose to chang.;
the calendar. In addition, they . would
adopt a new alphabet and a new system
of computing measures. Some of their
suggestions follow:- ..:.
Day of the reformed future will have
100 hours, each divided Into 100 minutes
and each minute into lot seconds."
New hours, being 100th part of day
each, will contain fourteen and two
fifths minutea Instead of saying "
quarter to one," people will say "at forty
nine." ,.
Every new clock will have a dial divided
Into ICO paits. The hour hand on the new
clock will go round' the dial but once a
day. . Old clocks can be easily adapted
to tho new system. - ;r :
Irregujar months are to ' be radically
reconstructed. The new months is to con
tain thirty-six days. Any additional days
are to be designated as holidays, such as
Christmas, New, Year and Thanksgiving.
The date of the month always will fall
on the same day each year.
There w'll be 360 days In a year. ' The
day will begin at 6 a. m. and end at 6
p. m.
; The gram of gbld is to be made the
unit of the money system. It Is worth
about "0 cents and Is to be divided into
ICO "parts.
Tho reformed international alphabet is
made up of characters irregular in form
something resembling tho sign writing
of tha earlier ages. It is claimed for It
that It Is much easier to read than the
present style of type. . " .
In addition, these reformers would re
vise the entire method of computation,
substituting the metric system as a basis.
