I crave a brief space In which to make some necessary reply to the statements coni talned in a sermon on Paris, presented last Sunday In the White Temple by Dr. J. Whltcomb Brougher, and printed In part In The Oregonlan of the following day. In view of the amazing assertions calmly made by the reverend gentleman as to 'the morals, tastes, appearance and virtues of the French people. I should like to ask Dr. Brougher how long he was in Paris, and If he can speak French. If, a3 I understand It, he was in France only about a week and cannot speak a word of the language, may I ask him by what precedent he thinks him self qualified to preach upon the matter and to brand the French a3 people utterly abandoned to vice. Dr. Brougher's statement that in the art galleries of Paris, admittedly the finest In the world, the study of the nude is nause ating, falls with a strange sound upon the ears of one whose artistic education has not been confined to the classic halls of a New England seminary. Many of the stu dents whom Dr. Brougher must have seen copying the great , statues and paintings are young men and women from America. The magnificent galleries of Paris are open to the world. Let me say. sir, that pure- minded men and women will find nothing wrong or dangerous in a nude statue. It ap peals to the lust of only the low-minded. Again, Dr. Brougher Is horrified at the habit which people have in Paris of going to the cafes, sitting down at tables and 6lpplng beer or wine, while they watch tho throngs pass by on the boulevards. Where Is the harm? The chairs and tables are In the open, on the sidewalks, In full view of the public- Men take their wives and daughters there knowing that they will see no drunken person, nor have to listen to vulgar language. How does that compare with the ladies' entrances In tho back- of Portland saloons 7 Which, sir, seems the worse to you drinks served in public to people Intent on sightseeing or music, or drinks served in the seclusion of saloon back rooms? 'The busiest court In Parts Is the di vorce court." said Dr. Brougher. I have not the statistics at hand, but I will say that there are less than half as many divorces in proportion to population in Franco as In America. "May It never come that French women. who now set the fashions In dress, shall make the standard for tho world's morals." The man. be he preacher or nott who can so wantonly Insult the whole feminine por tion of a nation, the mothers, wives, sisters and daughters and the rich and pour, the city .dweller and the humble tiller of .the soli, Is a stranger to truth and Is guided only by a craving for notoriety. Later on In his remarkable address Dr. Brougher is kind enough to admit that "amidst the black and mlrky waters of licentiousness there bloom many instances of the highest love. In the cemetery of Pere Lachalse Is tho famous tomb of Abelard and Helolse." It Is certainly gratifying that the reverend gentleman has found one re deeming feature amidst the wickedness of France. It Is a little old. that's all. About 000 years old. If I remember correctly. Be lt's better than nothing.' M. DONZAf Save the Umpire. Denver Post. If the umpires Chance to err. " j Hold your peace.
