HOMBURG, April 23.-The plan for the

Beneath the ancient dome and over
the tomb of Mazarin is the curious

meetings of the academies. The orc nary

two rooms on the second floor of the left
wing of the rambling structure which

Composition of Academy.
Emile Boutroux, president of the Acad-
envy of Moral and Political Sciences, who
recently lectured at Harvard University,
has described his academy as composed
of philosophers, moralists, turists, econo-
and statesmen. whose aim is to base So
cial and political institutions upon moral
principles of justice and equity.
The members, who belong to various
political parties, although often fighting
bitterly in parliamentary life and repre-
senting opposing opinions in social life
meet at the academy in perfect harmony
for the academy is like a drawing-room
where everybody is expected to be scrupu-
ously polite and broadminded.
The preparations for Mr.. Roosevelt's
visit to the Sorbonne, where he delivered
his lecture, were worked out with the
greatest care. Although 1t was announc-

Sorbonne Built by Richelieu.
The Sorbonne was erected In 1920 by
Cardinal Richelieu and was enlarged

long and no yards wide, it contains
many famous works of art. <
The upper vestibufe leading to the am

In addition to the hemicycle and am

Probably the best test of true love Of lib

Important Commonplace Virtues.

Il pay all homage to intellect and to
elaborate and specialized training of the
intellect: and yet I know ! shall have the
assent Of all of you present when l add
that more important still are the COM
monplace, everyday qualities and virtues.
''Such ordinary, everyday qualities in
clude the will and the power to work, to
fight at need and to have plenty Of
healthy children. There are a few people
in every country born that they can
lead lives of leisure. These fill useful
function If they make it evident that leis-
ure does not mean idleness. But the av-
erage man must earn his own livelihood.
He should be trained to do SO, and he
should be trained to feel that he occupies

so; that he is not an object of envy if
he is idle, at whichever end Of the social
scale he stands, but an object of con-
tempt, an object of dersion.

with that type Of citizen of whom all that
can be said is that he is harmless Vir-
tue which is dependent upon sluggish

little place in active life for the tlmld
good man. The man who is saved by
weakness from robust wickedness is like

He Is no good citizen unless he has the

There are plenty of men calling them
selves socialists with whom. up to time

next step is one which both we and they
wish to take. why of course take 1t. with
out any regard to the fact that our views
as to the tenth step may differ. But, on
the other hand, keep clearly in mind that.
though it has been worth while to take
one stop, this does not in the least mean
that it may not be highly Instantaneous

Not the Critic Who Counts.

ut 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 va
liantly: who errs. and comes short again
and again, because there is no effort
without error and shortcoming: but who
does actually strive to do the deeds: who
knows the great enthusiasm, the great de-
votions; who spends himself in a worthy
cause: who at the best knows in the
end the triumph of high achievement, and
who at the worst, II he fails. at least
fails while daring greatly. so that his
place shall never be with those cold and
timid souls who know neither victory nor
defeat.
Shame on the man Of cultivated taste
who permits refinement to develop in a
fastidiousness that units him for doing
the rough work OF a workaday world.
Among the free peoples who govern them
selves there is but small field Of useful
ness open for the men of clustered life
who shrink from contact with their fell
lows. Still less room Is there for those
who deride or slight what is done by
those who actually bear the brunt of the
day: nor yet for those others who always
profess that they would like to take ac-
ton, II only the conditions Of life were
not what they actually are.

Col. Roosevelt's Address.

Col. Theodore Roosevelt in his address
spoke on individual citizenship in the re-
publics of France and the United States.
In part he said:
with you here and with US In my own
home in the long run success or failure
will be conditioned upon the way in
which the average man. the average
woman, does his or her duty-first in the
ordinary everyday affairs OF life. and
next n those great occasional crises
which call for the heroic virtues. The
average citizen must be 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 citizen

The Strong and Brave Man.

meaning philosophers who declainl

are right only il they lay al their en-
phasis upon the unrighteousness.
War is a dreadful thing. and unjust
war Is a crime against humanity. But 1t
is such crime because 1t it unjust, not

The Curse Of Steri1ity.
Finally even more important than
ability to work. even more important
than ability to fight at need. is 1t to re-

any nation is that it shall leave its seed

Crops of South Bring Enormous
Sums. Figures Show That
Wealth Increases Year
by Year.

With a grain crop this year; ;ag-55
gregating l,9oO,OOo,OoO bushels or,
more, with a cotton crop which will
bring into the south between $900,- (
100000 and sl,ooO,ooO, 900, with
total value of agricultural products
for this year running between 3d.
75o, 100000 and So, 900, 900, 900, the
south will have by far the largest
income ever received by it from.
agriculture, assuring greater PROS
perity to the farmers of this section
! than they have had in the past and
thus to all business interests de-
pendent upon agriculture.
AS late as 1900 the total value Of
the south's agricultural products
was sl,27l, 100000. The output
this year will be largely more than
double that. Contrast the figures Of
1910 with the total of 1890, Of
s77s, 1000, 900, land we get q fair con-
ce ption Of the wonderful advance
made by the agricultural interests
of this section in the last twenty
years.
This years cotton crop will ex-:
ceed by 100000, 900 to 5000, 0oO,-
900 the total value of agricultural
products of the south in 1890. s., y
Onnitting the value Of the cotton
crop this year, the total value Of
other agricultural products will ap-
proximate 81, $50, 100000. or some
$780, 100000 more for diversified
crops than the total agricultural
output of 1900, cotton included.
Possibly the magnitude ofthis
years farm product values in the
south will be the better grasped
from the simple statement that they
will exceed by at least 5000, 100000
the total value of all farm crops of
the United States in 1890.
Surely these are wonderful fig
ures. They are only indicative, how
ever, of the general advance of the
south. They give reason for mulch
of its progress in city building and
industrial activity. q iil 8
With,such afouundation on which
tosbuild with such increasing pros
perity among farmers, it is difficult;
to set any limit to the possibilities
of the growth of the south during
the next ten years. 1t has now solved
the troublesome problems that con-
fronted its agricultural interests ten
years ago. 1t has secured the worlds
recognition Of a profitable price for
cotton. 1t has found a way to di-
vers;ey its agriculture to such an e1-
tent that it is no longer compelled
to make cotton its only money crop,
but it can turn its attention from
cotton to other interests to equal
profit. 1t is entering upon a period
of increasing agricultural prosperity,
of expension in all business inter-
ests, of rapidity of cities and of q
trend of population southwark such
as it has never known in the past.
