A LOYAL PARISIAN.
He Resents Dr. Brougher's Reflec
tions on the Morals of Paris.
SEASIDE, Or., Aug. 18 (To the Editor.)
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
