Dobbin- Ferrall 11! 123-125 FayetteviHo St. Ccsipy Roosevelt Speds ca Citizen, ship (Continued From Page One.) the Sofrbonne lying in that famous section of Paris. . . " The largest hall in the handsome buildings of the Sarbonne, seating 3,000, was crowded long before the time set for the appearance pf the former president. , ; , The crowd swelled . rapidly and even the' heavy force of police, under the personal direction : of Prefect Lepine, had 'difficulty in keeping or der and maintaining a right of way through the throngs for the distin guished guests and the holders of ad mission cards. Nine hundred Eng. lish-speaking students had been se lected to hear the address. ' So terrific had been the demand for seats for two months that a score of extra clerks had been kept busy send ing . refusals, and M. Liard, rector, suffered a breakdown. He recovered for today's event, however. The Sorbonne, oldest and most fa mous of French colleges, dates from 1253. . It now comprises the three faculties of theology, science, and lit erature of the academy of Paris. Confiscated in 1793 it was re-opened by Napoleon in 1808, and between 1S84 and 1893 nearly $5,000,000 was spent in new ' buildings, in one of which Mr. Roosevelt spoke today. Mr. Roosevelt said, in part: Strange "and Impressive assoeintlons liso in the mind of man from the New World who speuks before this august body in this ancient Institution of learning. Before his eyes pass the shadows of mightly kings and warlike nobles, of, great masters of law and theology; through the shining dust of the dead centuries he sees crowded figures that tell of the power and learning and splendor of times gone by; and he sees also the Innumerable host of humble students to whom clerk ship meant emanipation, to whom it was well-night the only outlet from the dark thraldom of the Middle Ages. This was the most famous university of mediaeval Europe at a time when no one dreamed that there was a New World to discover. Its services to the cause of human knowledge already stretched far back into the remote past at the time when my forefathers, three centuries ago, were among the sparse bands of traders, plowmen, wood-choppers, and f isherfolk who, in hard struggle with the iron unfriendliness of the Indian-hunted land, were laying the foundations of what has now be come the giant republic of the west. Today 1 shall speak to you on the subject of individual citizenship, the one subject of vital importance to you, my hearers, and to me and my country men, because you and we are citiaens of great democratic republics- A demo cratic republic' such' 4s etich rbf"tturs an effort to realize in its full sense government by, of, and for the people represents the most gigantic of all pos sible social 'experiments, the one fraught with greatest possibilities alike for good and for evil. The success of republics like yours and like ours means the glory, and our failure the despair, of man kind, and for you and for us the question of the quality of the Individual citizen is supreme. Under other forms of government, under the rule of one or of a very few men. the quality of the rulers Is all-import - nt. If, under such governments,, the quality of the rulers is high enough. then the nation may for generations lead a brilliant career, and add sub stantially to the sum of world achieve ment, no matter how low the quality of the average citizen; because the aver age citizen is an almost negligible quantity '.-In working out the final re sults of that type of national great ness. But with you and with us the case is different. With you, here, and with us In my own home, in the long run, suc cess or failure will be contltioned upon FEU FROM HEAVEN Creating Great Excitement in His Neighborhood. (From the Bloomington, Ind., Daily Telephone.) . Mr. Martin Vanwick drove sixteen miles to town this morning to get three bottles of Root Juice. He Said The remedy has done wonders at my house and everybody in my house and everybody in my neigh borhood is excited over it. If it had fallen from heaven it could not be any better. I wouldn t take a for tune for what it has done for my wife. Before taking Root Juice she was in bed and everyone thought her case was hopeless. Even water- would sour on her stomach and gas would form. and press up against her heart so that it would almost stop beating. Her tongue was badly coated and she would complain of a bitter, then 8 sour taste in her mouth, .some times her bowels would be running off and at other times she was badly constipated. The doctors said hat her stomach, liver, kidneys and bow els were all badly diseased. When J got the first bottle of Root Juice she was reduced to a mere skeleton, and we feared that she couldn't take St, as no medicine we bad tried lately would lay on her stomach, but the first dose of the juice seemed to soothe her stomach and do her good. She has uesed hardly two bottles, but is now out of bed and is rapidly recovering strength, flesh and healtn. The number of people, that are going to Hicks' drag store to inquire about the remedy Is increasing: daily, as so many of .those who are using it are praising it very . highly ; to . their friends. It Iq sold for 11 a bottle or three bottles for $2.50. Many are buying three' bottles at a time in or der to save fifty cents. .

V- the way in which the average man. the average woman, does his or h r duty, first in the ordinary, every- lay affairs of life, and next in those great occasional crises which call for the lieroic virtues. The average citizen must be 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 greatness is found In the average citizenship of the na tion. Therefore it behooves us to do our best to see that the standard of the average citizen is kept high; and the average cannot be kept high unless the standard of the leaders is very much higher. . ' It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man- who Is actually in the arena, whose face Is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly: who. errs, and comes short again and again, beeauseLber that, as society develops and grows there is no effort without errdr and shortcoming; butfn-ho knows the great entnuslasm, the -grfat devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the tri umph of High .. aehivement', and who at the worst, If he fails, at' least while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nod de feat. Shame on the man of cultivated taste who permits refinement to develop Into a fastidiousness that unfits him for doing the rough work of a worka day world. Let those who have, keep, let those who have not strive to attain, a high standard of cultivation and scholarship. Yet let us remember that these stand second to certain other things. There is need of a sound body, and even more need of a sound mind. But above mind and above body stands character the sum of those qualities which we mean when we speak of a man's force and courage, of his good faith and sense of honor. I believe In exercise for the body, always provided that we keep in mind that physical development is means and not an end. I believe, of course, in giving to all the people a good education. But the education must contain much besides book-learning In order to be really good, f jch ordinary, every-day qualities include the will and the power to work, to fight at need, and to have plenty of healthy children. The need that the, average man shall work is so obvious as hardly to warrant insistence. There are a few people in every country so born that they can lead lives of leisure, These fill a useful function If they make it evident that leisure does not mean Idleness; for some of the most valuable work needed by civilization is essential ly non-remunerative in its character, and of course the people who dp this work should in large part be drawn from those to whom remuneration is an object of indifference. But the average man must earn his own livell- rood. He should be trained to do so, and he should be trained to feel that he occupies a contemptible position Vif he does not do. so; that he is not an object of envy If he is idle! at which ever e'nd'-of the social scale he stands, but an object of contempt, an object of derision, Finally, even more' important than ability to work, "jPVeB . more important than ability to fight at need, is to re member that the chief blessings for any ination is that It shall leave its seed to inherit the land. It was the crown of blessings In Biblical times and it is the crown of blessings now. The great est of all curses is the curse of sterility, and the severest of all condemnations should be that visited upon . willful sterility. The first essential in any civ. llizatlon is that the' man slid the wo man shall be father and mother of healthy children, so that the race shall increase and not decrease. It this Is not so. if through no fault of the so ciety there is failure to increase, it Js a great misfortune. If the failure Is due to deliberate and willful fault, men it is not merelv a misfortune. It la one of those crimes' of. ease and self-indulgence of shrinking from pain and effort and risk, which in the long run Tiaturj punishes more heavily than any other. Character must .show Itself in me man's-performance both of the duty he owes himself and of the duty he owes the- state.' The man's foremost Lduty is oweSl to himself and family; and he can do this duty only by v earning money, bv nrovidlne what Is essential j to material well-being; it Is only.after rhia ha hon done that he can hone to' build a -higher ' superstructure 1on) the solid material foundation; It is only af ter this has been done that he can neip in- movements for ine general well-being1. -v Of course all Miat I say of the oratoh applies with even greater force to th orator's latter-day and more influential "brother, the journalist. The power off the journalist is great, but he Is en titled, neither to respect nor admiration because of that power unless it used aright." Iffi can do, and tie often ones, great . aood.

' Offenses against taste and morals, which. are infinitely worse If .made Into Instruments for debauching the community through a newspaper. Mendacity, slander, sensationalism. In sanity, vapid triviality, all are potent factors for -the debauchery of the pub- lie mind and conscience. The excuse advanced for vicious writing, that the public demands , it and that the demand must be supplied, can no more be ad mitted (than if it were advanced by the purveyors of food who sell poison ous adulterations. In short, the good citizen in a republic must realize that he ought to possess two sets of qualities, and that neither avails without the other. He mast have those qualities which make for efft ciency; and he must also have those qualities which direct the efficiency into channels for the public good. He ,is useless if he Is inefficient. There Is nothing to be done with thai type.:-or citizen or whom all that cn De sain is that he is harmless. Virtue which is dependent upon a slugsist circulation Is Jiot impressive. There Is little place in 'active life for Hie timid good man. The mfin who Is aved by weakness, from robust .wickedness is likewise rendered Immune from the "-robuster virtues. The good citizen in a republic must first , of all be able to hold his own. He Is no good citizen unless he has the ability which will make him work hard and which at need will make him fight hard. The good citbtnn is not a good citizen unless he is an efflcicn citizen. . - . i The citizen must have high tleals, and yet lie must be able to achieve them In practical fashion. No pevma nent . good comes from aspirations so lofty that they have grown fantastic and have become Impossible and Indeed undesirable- to realize. The Impraotlc able visionary is far less often the. guide and precursor than he is the embittered foe of the real reformer, of the man who, with stumblings and shortcoming, yet does in some shape. In practical fashion, give, effect-to the hopes and desires. of.t those wl)p strive for. better We can Just' as little afford to follow the doctrinaires of an extreme individu alist. Individual Initiative', so far from being discouraged, should be stimulated; and yet we should remem more complex, we continually find that things which once it was4 desirable, to leave to individual . lultlatlve can. under the changed conditions, be performed with beter results By common effort. It Is quite impossible, and equally un desirable, to draw In. theory a hard and fast line which shall always divide the two sets of cases. This every one who Is not cursed with the pride of the closest philosopher will see, if he will 'only take the trouble to think about some of commonest phenomena For instance, when' people live on Iso lated farms or in ' little hamlets, each house can be left to" attend to its own drainage and water supply; but the mere- multiplication of families in Klvenarea produces new problems-which because they differ in size, are found to differ not only In degree but in kind from the old; and the questions of drainage and water supply have to be considered from the common 'stand point. It is not a matter for abstract dogmatizing to decide when this point is reached; it is a matter to be tested by practical experiment. Much of the discussion about socialism and indi viduallsm is entirely pointless, because of failure to aeree on terminology. It is not eood to be tne slave of names. I am a strong Individualist by personal habit, inheritance," and conviction; but it is a mere matter of common sense to recognize that the state, the com munity, the citizens acting together, ca"n do a number of things, better than if they were left to individual action. The individualism . which finds its expres. slon in the buse of physical force is checked very early in the growth of civilization, and we of today should In our turn strive to shackle or destroy- that individualism which triumphs by greed and cunning, 'which exploits the weak by' craft Insteadof ruling them "bv brutality. We ought to go with any man in the effort to bring aDout justice and the equality or opportunity, to turn the tooK user more and more into, the tool owners to shift burdens so that they can be more equitably borne. The deadening effect on any race of a logical and extreme social istic system could .tiot .be, overstated; It would snell sheer,' destruction; It would produce grosser, wrong and out rage, fouler Immorality, than any ex isting system.' But this -does not mean that we may not with great advantage adopt certain of the principles professed by some given sci of men who happen to call themselves Socialists; to be afraid to do so would be to make a mark of weakness on" our part. -To say that the thriftless, the lazy, the vicious, the Ineapable, ought to have the reward given to those who are far-sighted, capable, ana upngnt, Is to say what Is not true ana cannot be true. Let us try to level up, but let uS beware of thJ evil of, leveling down. If a man stumbles. It Is a good thin to helo him oaf his feet Every one of us needs a helping hand now unit then. But if a man lies down. It is a waste to time to try to carry him; afid K is a ver. ba thlnr for: every one If we make men feel that tne same reward will come to those who shirk their work and to thane who do It Sn, much for th slUsenshlp of the Inditldual In his relation to his family. his nelchhor. to th State.
