A) THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, POETXAND. APRIL. 24, 1910. k) v 0 PROPERTY SECOND, SAYS ROOSEVELT Address Before Sorbonne Places Stress on Claim of Human Rights. REPUBLIC YET ON TRIAL Citizen's Duly Is to He Virile as Well as Virtuous Timid Good Man of Relatively Small Value. Speaker finds. (.Continue a from rase 1.) much impressed as the students and other auditors in front, joining heartily In the applause, and especially when Mr. Roosevelt spake against race sui cide and the necessity for a nation to perpetuate itself as one of its prin cipal duties. Following the lecture Vice-Kector Laard, in behalf of the university, pre sented Mr. Roosevelt with a bust of Jefferson and two- vases made at Sev res. Bust of Jefferson .Mistake. A curious mistake had been made in the bust. A bust of Lincoln had been orderd from the government factory at Sevres, but in home way one of Jefferson's was made. M. Jusscrand, the French Ambassador, has arranged to have the original executed. In replying to M. Boutroux before the Academy of Moral and Political Sciences, Mr. Rooscvc It spoke in French. lie said that he would not dare to do so if he were not among , conferees, for he was certain of their indulgence. "I cannot express how ni uch I have been touched by the honor you have paid me," he said. "It is the crown ing of the career of a man of letters." M. Boutroux. he said, had defined his moral conception of life better than he could himself, and he continued: I have always tried to translated into action the moral principles winch must inspire the' life of men and nations. There can be no economic civilization without morality. Genius Is not essen tial, but only courage, honsty, sincerity and common ?nse. Men tf gerd is with out these qualities are a curse to a na tion. They do more harm than good." Every-Iay Duty Enjoined.. In his lecture, Colonel KooseveU said in part; With you here, and v-itli ns In my own home, in the long run. succt-ss or failure "Will b conditioned upon the way in which the average man, the average woman, does hl or her duty, first in the ordinary, every day affairs of life, ami nxt in those grofit occanlcnai crises which call for tin,- heroic virtues. The average ritizen mut he a. good citizen if our republics are to succeed. The stream will not (permanently rise higher than the main source ; and the main source of national power and national preainosH is found In the average citizenship f the na tion. Therefore it behooves us to do our best to see that th standard of the average citizen is kept high; and the average can not bo kept high unless the standard of the leaders is very much higher. It ia well if a large proportion of the leaders in any republic, in any democracy, are, as a matter of course, drawn from the classes represented in this audit nee today ; but only provided that those classes possuas the ift of sympathy with plain peMple and of devotion to re-a t ideals. You and those like you have received special advantages; you have all of you had th opportunity for mental training; many of you have had leisure ; most of you have had a chance for the enjoyment ot life far greater than comes to the majority of your fellows. To ou and your kind much has been given, and from you much should be expected. It i not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the st rong man . stumbles, or where the doer of di-eds could liave done them better. The credit belongs 10 the man who is actually in the areiwi, whoso face is marred by diLst and sweat and blood ; who strives valiantly ; who errs., and comes short again and again, because there is no effort wit houl error and shoit noming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds ; who knows the great enthu ddaEtn, the great devotions; who spends him self in a. worthy cause; who at the best knows In the end the triumph of high Rchievement, and who at the worst, if ho talis, at least fails while daring grt-atly. so that his place shall never be. with those cold and timid souls w ho know nt-n her victory nor defeat. More Rich Men Not Abet. Nevertheless, while laying all srrej&j on thla point, while not h meieiy acknowledging, but insisting upon the fact tha t there must be a, basia of material wcll-bnig tor the indi vidual as for the- nation, hrt us with equal empnastfl insist that tins material well-hing i epreento nothing but the foundation, ami hat the foundation, though lnd:t per.iu)e, is worthless) unie?s upon it is raided tin super structure of a higher life. That is why i de cline to recognize the mere mull i-m lit lonairo, th man of mere wealth, as an acet of value o any country; and especially & not un us sot y my own country. if he ha earned or uses his wealth in a way that makw him uf real benefit, of real use and such i oiten the case why, then he does become an uawet, of worth. iiut it is the way in which it has been earned or used, and not the mere fact of wealth, that entitles him to the credit. There i need in buK:r,t.s!.4, as in n.f ;t other forms of human activity, of the great- guiuing Intelligences. Their places cannot be sup plied by any number of leaser itnedlgences. 1L la a good thing that they siiou'.d have ample recognition. aJiiplo reward. liut we m urt. not transfer our admiration ty the reward Instead of ti the deed rewarded ; and if What Should bo the reward exists without the .serv ice having been renyeteu. then admiration will come only from those w ho me mean of soul.

It n -i bad thiuif f"'' a na tion to ralso and tJ admire a faise standard of uccess; and there can be no falser --tandaxd than that t by the deification of ma-teriui well-btiig Ui and for itself. The man who, for any cause for which he It himself ac countable, has failed to support hhntKlf and those for whom he is respom-:nie, ought to feel that he has faUeu lamenrubiy whort In his prim duty. Hut the man h having far surpassed the limit f providing for the want, both of body anil mind, of himself and of those depending upjn him. tlwn ibe. up a great fortune, for the aeo,ub'itien or retention of which he returns no correal -on ding benertt to the nation a a whole, should r.imeif be made to feel that, sm far from being a desira ble, ho is an unworthy citizen of t he com munity; that he le to be neirher admired nor envfed; that his right-think inc fellow-countrymen put him low in the -"--ate of citizen ship and leave him to be eonrded by the ad miration of those whot-e level of purpo-ac is even lower than his own. I to ugh Work Necessary. Shame on the rnn of cultivated ta3te who permits refine in nt tu develop in a fastidiousness that unfits him for doing Una rough work of a wordaday world. Among the free peoples who govern themselves there is but a small held of usefulness open for the men of cloistered life who shrink from contact with their fellows. Still les room Is there for those who deride or slight hat is done by those who actually bear the brunt of the day; nor et for tbosa others who always profess that they. would like to take action. If only the conditions of life were not what they actually are. I pay all homage to intellect, and to elaborate and specialized training of the in tellect; and yet I know I shall have ihe as sent of all of you present w hen I add that more Important still are the common place, every-day qualities and virtues. Such ordinary, every-day qualities Include the "will 'and ttte -power to -work; -to fight at need, and to have plenty of healthy chil dren. There are a few people in every country so born that they cm lead lives j . leisure These fill a useful function if I they make it evident that leisure does not mean idleness. But the average man must earn his own livelihood. He should be trained to do so, and he should be trained to feel that he occupies a contemptible posi tion If he does not do so; that he is not an object of envy if he is idle, at which ever end of the social scale he stands, but an object of contempt, an object of derision. In the next place, the good man should be both a strong and a brave man; that is, he should be able to fight, be should be able to serve his country as a soldier if the need arises. There are well-meaning philosophers who declaim against the un righteousness of war. They are right only if they lay all their emphasis upon the un righteousness. Var Is a dreadful thing, and unjust war is a crime against humanity. But It Is such a crime because it is unjust, not because it is war. The choice must ever be in favor of righteousness, and this whether the alternative be peace or whether the alternative be war. The question must not be merely, is there to be peace or war? The question must be, is the right to pre vail? Are the great laws of righteousness once more to be fulfilled? And the answer from a strong and virile people must be, yes," whatever the cost. 1'osterlty Is Chief Blessing. Finally, even more Important than abil ity to work, even more important than ability to fight at need, is it to remember that the chief of blessings fcr any nation is that it shall leave its seed to inherit the land. It was the crown of blessings In Biblical times; nnd it Is the crown of blessings now. The greatest of all curses is the curse of sterility,, and the severest of all condemnations should be that vis ited upon wilful sterility. The first es sential in any civilization is that the man and the woman shall be father and mother of healthy children, so that the racn shall increase and not decrease. If this is not so, if through no fault of the society there Is failure to increase, it is a great mis fortune. If the failure is due to deliberate and wilful fault, then it Is not merely a misfortune, it is one of those crimes of case and self-indulgence, of shrinking from pain nnd effort and risk, which in the long run Nature punishes more heavily than any other. If we of the great republics, if we, the free people who claim to have emancipated ourselves from the thraldom of wrong and error, bring down on ur heads tho curse, that comes upon the wllf ullv barren, then it will be an idle waste of breath to prattle of our uch lovementJ, to boast of all that we have done. No refinement of life, no delicacy of taste, no material progress, no sordid heaping up of riches, no denfeuous development of art and literature, can in any 'way compensate for the loss of the great fundamental virtues; and of these great fundamental virtues, tho greatest of these is the race's power to perpetuate the race. 'Timid Good Man Useless. 1 n short, the good citizens In a repub lic must realize that he ought to possess two sets of qualities, and that neither avails without tho other. He must have those qualities which make for efficiency; and he must also have those qualities which direct the efficlnecy into channels for the public good. He is useless If he Is inefficient. There is nothing to be done with that type of citizen of whom all that can be said is that he is harmless. Virtue which is dependent upon a sluggish circala ticn is not impressive. There is litt le place in active, life for the timid good man. The man v ho is saved by weakness from ro bust wickedness Is likewise rendered Im mune from the robusfr virtues. The good citizen in a republic must first of all be uble to hold his own. He Is no good cit izen unless he has the ability which will make him work hnrd and which at need will make him fight hard. The gOGd cit izen is not a good citizen unless he Is an efficient citizen. There are plenty of me,a calling them selves Socialists with whom, up to a. certain point, it is quite possible to work. If the nc Tit stop is one which both we and they wfah 1 o to ke. why of course take it, with out any tesrard to the fact that our views as to the Huh ste may differ. But. on ih other hand, keep clearly In m!nd that, theuglv it has been worth while to take one step, this does not. in the least mean that it may not bo highly disadvantageous to tfke the next. The good citizen will demand liberty for himself, and as a matter of pride ho will see to it That others receive the liberty which he thus claims as his own. prob ably the best test of true love of liberty in uny country is the way In which minor ities are treated in that country. Not only should there be complete liberty in matters of religion and opinion, but com plete liberty for each man to lead his life as he desires, provided only that in so doing he does not wrong his neighbor. Colonel Roosevelt told how he had re ceived the news of his election to the ucudemy when hunting white rhinocerosls at the equator. 'I was living among naked savages," he said, "hunting for an animal which whs the survivor of the long haired rhinocersos that existed here in France when it was inhabited by naked natives." He had received the first news in let ter. which came simultaneously from two members of the academy, one in M'-xieo and the other in Brazil. "Mr. president and dear colleagues he concluded, "I thank you once more from the bottom of my heart." Colonel and Mrs. Koosevelt were en tertained at dinner tonight by Vice Kector L.iard the guests also including Ambassador and Mrs. Bacon, Ambassa dor and Mme. Jusvserand, Premier Briand, M. Uoumerque, minister of education and the deans of tho faculties. EXPULSION IS WITHHELD Jews tiet Kcprive at Kiev to Permit Investigation. ST. PETERSBURG, April 23.

Xavy Maneuvers Begin on Atlantic. NEWPORT, It. I., April 23.

CAPSULE NOT SEEN GIVEN More Told .About Convulsion of Cbrisman Swope Chart Xot Pre pared AVith Expectation It Would Appear In Court. KANSAS CITY. Jlo., April 23. Dr. Hyde's attorneys had better success In the cross-examination of Miss Anna Houlihan, the . nurse, than they have had with any other witness. They suc ceeded in getting her mixed up on some of her statement sl Regarding the box of candy which Miss Houlihan said' yes terday rr. Hyda had given to Margaret Swope t'even days before she was taken ill with typhoid fever, Mies Houlihan said she did not see Miss Swope eat any of the candy. Thia was considered a. fact of great importance by the defense. Miss Houlihan also admitted she did not see Dr. Hyde administer a capsule to Chrisman Swope on December 5, the day he had his firf convulsion. Her chart of Chrisman Swope's illness, she said, had been filled out from memory at her con-enience. Her records. Ehe said, had been left at the Swooe home, and she did not see them until she was summoned to the grand jury room in March. Miss Houlihan took the rtand this morning for further "direct, questioning by the Assistant Prosecutor. James A. Reed. He asked but a few questions about tho illness of Margaret Swope, and then Attorney Walsh took, the witness. Mr. Walsh's first question was re garding the box of candy which Miss Houlihan testiPed yesterday that Dr. Hyde gave to Stella Swope just seven days before the young woman was stricken with typhoid. "Did you see Dr. Hyde give Stella this candy?" asked Mr. Walsh. "Yes, sir." "Did you see her eat any of the candy?" "t did not." Miss Houlihan said she could not re call the size of the box nor could she say whether Dr. Hyde and his wife ate candy at the house on the day the box is said to have been presented to Stella Swope. Using a plot of the second floor of the Swope house drawn by Dr. Hyde, Mr. Walsh developed that three persons were 111 on that floor and that the plumbing in the house had been torn out. Examination of the witness showed that Dr. Hyde ordered the nurses to wait on all of the patients instead of acting individually, in order that each" nurse might have to work but 16 hours a day. Had each been assigned to a patient, she would have had to be on duty 24 hours a day. Mr. Walsh dwelt for some time on the entries in the nurses'a chart. The witness seemed confused about several of them . "I had noidea these records were to be grought into a court or I would have taken more care in preparing them," said Miss Houlihan. The specj tators laughed. Judge Latshaw rapnea for order. Preceding Chrisman Swope's first convulsion, the patient was alone. Mrs. Hyde went Into his room and found him --fering and complaining. Miss Houlihan was not in the room. "Miss Churchill, another nurse, left Mr. Swope and went, at your sugges tion, for a rest, didn't she?" quired Mr. Walsh. "That is true," replied the nurse. "Did you see Dr. Hyde give Chris man a capsule on Sunday?" (This was the day Chrisman Swope suffered his first convulsion.) "I did not," she replied. Journalist Tramps Around World. CHICAGO, April 23. Attired in a quaint Dutch dress and wearing cum bersome wooden shoes, Gottfried Rod riguez, an Amsterdam newspaperman, is in Chicago on a trip around the world on a $12,000 wager made with a num ber of Holland friends. Rodriguez left Amsterdam February 1, 1909, with the intention of covering the globe in three and a haVf years. He has no luggage and must earn his way. During his first year he covered every European country on foot. Leaving Naples, Italy, last January, he worked his way to New York on the Princess Irene. He then went to Boston. From Chicago he will go to the Pacific Coast by way of Omaha, Denver and Salt Lake. Leaving San Francisco he will .sail for Japan, touring that country, China and Siberia, and thence home through Russia. ' London motor 'bus drivers are fined for being ahead of time, but rarely for being late. it 1 9 3 Another Home at Alameda Park It is in rustic California style, ritb. clinker-brick porch pillars and massive-beamed pergola. There is a "sunken den" opening off the living-room, with broad fireplace. The glass breakfast room is so arranged as to be in effect a sun room. The bathroom is finished with tile. The house is heated with hot air. The whole interior is remarkably well thought out. and this may be accounted for by the fact that a woman, Miss Spencer, of Spencer-McCain Companj-, architects, made the plans. .All should see for themselves the wonderful strides in the DEVELOP MENT OF ALAMEDA PARK.
