II ARIS, April 24.-Mr. Roosevelt
passed a comparatively quiet Sun
Il day in Paris. Accompanied By
Ambassador Bacon, he attended the
morning service in the American
church in the Rue de Berri and listened
to the sermon of the Rev. Chauncey
w. Goodrich.
Mrs. Roosevelt, accompanied by Ker-
NIT and Miss Ethel, attended the
American church in Avenue de PAlma.
Colonel and Mrs. Roosevelt lunched
with Ambassador and Nine. Jusserand,
the other guests including Premier
BRAND, NJ. Barthou. minister Of JUS
tice: Consul General Mason, A. Leroy
Beaulieu, Albert de Coubterin, Count
de Lasteyrie and Count de Portales.
In the afternoon there was an auto
mobile trip to st. German, where Col
onel Roosevelt visited the chateau of
Henry ". On returning the Roose-
velts dined quietly with Ambassador
and Mrs. Bacon at the American en-
bassy.
Although the general elections were
held today In France, Colonel Roose-
welt did not visit the voting booths,
saying he had not time to investigate
matters that did not concern him di-
rectly. Besides, he supposed the cleo
tion machinery of France was neith-
er better nor worse than in the United
States.
GUEST OF MUNICIPALITY
Tomorrow Colonel Roosevelt will be
the guest of the municipality of Paris.
The city fathers will receive him at
the Hotel de Vile. where luncheon will
be served, after which he will sign
his name III the "Livre dor" which
contains the signatures of all monarchs
and noted persons who have been
guests OF the city
In the evening he will dine with
General Brugere and from there will
go to the opera, where he VIII occupy
the presidential box. "Salome" was
the bill, but at Mr.. Roosevelt's ex-
pressed desire Saint-Saens', samson
and Delilah" will be produced with
ballet.
At the close of Mr.. Roosevelts lect-
ure in the Sorbonne yesterday someone
in the gallery hissed, but this passed
unnoticed in the applause. 1t has since
been learned that it was an Egyptian,
who later explained he desired to pro-
test by this means against the speech
the former president delivered at
Cairo.
The lecture at the Sorbonne created
q tremendous impression in France.
The newspapers, in spite of the closing
OF the electoral compaign last night.
devote an immense amount of space
to it and Colonel Roosevelts doings.
MEETS SOME CRITICISM
Except some mocking criticism by
free lances, such as Henri Rochefort,
editor of Patrie, and by Judet OF
Eclair, papers of all shades of opinion
ring with approval of the doctrines OF
civic morality expounded by the for
ner president Some of the ultra
Catholic organs are silent, but others
dwell especially upon Mr.. Roosevelt's
definition of the rights of the mi
nority.
The Temps declares the impression
produced is all the greater because Mr..
Roosevelt did not present theories he
conceived, but experiences he had lived.
1t finds many lessons therein Tor
France, and concludes with an appeal
to France to take "the advice of an
honest man, whose deeds and life dur
ing thirty years qualify him to speak"
The Journal des Debats says Mr..
RooseVelt's words are the echo OF the
old Puritan spirit, which made con-
quering England, and bear strange
significance when he breaches sane
and vigorous life, of which he is the
embodiment, to so many unbalanced
people, probity to politicians and COM
mon sense to those who are seeking
Utopia.
Our great democracies," says the
paper "are experiments. From the be-
ginning they leaned toward corrup-
ton. Roosevelts simple and energetic
language is that of Hercules, armed
not with a club, but a. broom at the
door of the Augean stable"
Liberte, under the caption, "a Mag
nificent Lesson" says:
1--WE have few men in France with
energy equal to Mr.. Roosevelt, but
thousands upon thousands who think
as, he does"
The Paris Journal says: mo nobler
lesson of civic duty ever fell from
human lips"
