Let the man of learning. the man of
lettered leisure, beware of thar queer
and cheap temptation to pose to HIM
self and to others as the cynic. as the
man who has outgrown emotions and
beliefs. the man to whom good and
evil are as one. The poorest way to
face life is to face it with sneer.
There is no more unhealthy being.
no man less worthy Of respect. than he
who either really holds or feigns to
hold an attitude of sneering disbelief
toward all that is great and lofty.
whether in achievement or In that no
bic effort which. even If it fail. comes
second to achievement.
Shame on the man Of cultivated taste
who permits refinement to develop into
a fastidiousness that units him for
doing the rough work Of a workaday
world. Among the free peoples who
govern themselves there Is but a small
field Of usefulness open for the men
Of cloistered life who shrink from con-
tact with their fellows.
No Room For sliohtsrs.
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 al
ways profess that they would like to
take action If only the conditions Of
life were not what they actually are.
The man who does nothing cuts the
same sordid figure in the pages Of his
tory. whether he be cynic or fop or
voluptuary.
1t is war worn Hotspur, spent with
hard fighting, he Of the many errors
and the valiant end. over whose mem.
DRY we love to finger, not over the
memory Of the young lord who "but
for the vile guns would have been
soldier"
The good man should be both a
strong and brave man-that is, he
should be able to fight, he should be
able to serve his country as soldier
II the need arises. There are we'll
meaning philosophers who declaim
against the unrighteousness of war.
They are right only II they lay all
their emphasis upon the unrighteous-
ness. War is dreadful thing, and
unjust war is a crime against human
ity. But It is such crime because it
Is unjust, not because it Is war.
The choice must ever be in favor of
righteousness, and this whether the
alternative be peace or whether the
alternative be war. The question must
not be merely. Is there to be peace or
war? The question must be, Is the
right to prevail?
Are the great laws of righteousness
once more to be fulfilled? And the an
swer from strong and virile people
must be YES" whatever the cost.
Every honorable effort should always
be made 10 avoid war, just as every
honorable effort should always be
made by the individual in private life
to keep out of a brawl, to keep out Of
trouble, but no self respecting indi-
vidual. no self respecting nation, can
or ought to submit to wrong.

CITIZENSHIP
IN A REPUBLIC.
Colonel Roosevelt Tells the
French Why We Succeed.
HIS VIEWS on SOCIALISM.

Again Asks For Large Families In
Addrsss In Paris-TaIks Of Mans
Chief Duty, Danger Of Class Hatred
and Appeals For Patriotic Spirit.
No Room For sIi9htsrs.
Paris, April 23.-Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt delivered the following ad-
dress on "Gtizenship In Republic" at
the Sorbonne:
Strange and impressive associations
rise in the mind Of q man from the
new world who speaks before this au-
gust body in this ancient institution
of learning. Before his eyes pass the
shadows Of mighty kings and warlike
mobiles, 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 hum students to whom
clerkshfp meant emancipation, to
whom It was well nigh the only outlet
from the dark thraldom of the middle
ages.
Today l 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 coun-
trymen, because you and we are citi-
zens of great democratic republics. A
democratic republic such as each Of
ours-an effort to realize in it's full
sense government by. Of and for the
people-represents the most gigantic
Of all possible 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 mankind, and
for you and for us the question Of the
quality of the individual citizen is su-
preme
To Succeed 81 Good.
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 in those great occa-
sional crises which call for the heroic
virtues. The average citizen must be

such Is often the case-wny. Then he
does become an asset Of worth. But
It is the way in which It has been
earned or used and not the mere fact
Of wealth that entities him to the
credit.
There is need in business, as in most
other forms Of human activity. of the
great guiding intelligences. Their
places cannot be supplied by any num-
Der Of lesser intelligences.
It is a bad thing for nation to raise
and to admire false standard Of sue
cess, and there can be no falser stand
ard than that set by the dedication of
material well being In and for itself.
The power Of the journalist is great,
but he is entitled neither to respect
nor admiration because Of that power
unless it is used Alright. He can do,
and he often does. great good. He can
do, and he often does, infinite mis-
chief. All journalists. all writer's. for
the very reason that they appreciate
the vast possibilities Of their profess
sion, should bear testimony against
those who deeply discredit 1t. Of
lenses against taste and morals, which
are bad enough in a private citizen,
are infinitely worse II made into in
struments for debauching the CON-
munity through newspaper.
Mendacity, SANDER, sensationalism.
inanity, vapid triviality, all are po-
tent factors for the debauchery of the
public mind and conscience. The ex-
cuse advanced for vicious writing, that
the public demands it and that the de-
mand must be supplied, can no more
be admitted than If it were advanced
by the purveyors Of food who sell poi
sonous authorizations.
Virtues Of tho Household.
The homely virtues Of the household,
the ordinary workaday virtues which
make the woman a good housewife
and house mother, which make the
man a hard worker, good husband
and father. good soldier at need,
stand at the bottom Of character. But
Of course many others must be added
thereto If a state is to be not only free.
but great.
Good citizenship is not good citizen
ship If exhibited only in the home.
There remain the duties of the indi-
vidual In relation to the state, and
these duties are none too easy under
the conditions which exist where the
effort is made to carry on free govern
ment in a complex industrial civiliza~
ton.
Perhaps the most important thing
the ordinary citizen, and. above all.
the leader Of ordinary citizens, has to
remember in political life is that he
must not be a sheer doctrinaire.
Woe to the empty phrase maker, to
the empty idealist. who, instead Of
making ready the ground for the man
Of action, turns against him when he
appears and hampers him as he does
the work!
Moreover, the preacher Of ideals
must remember how sorry and con-
temptible is the figure which he will
cut, how great the damage that he
will do, IL he does not himself In his
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1910-04-24
own life strive measurably to realize
the ideals that he breaches for others.

own life strive measurably to realize
the ideals that he breaches for others.
Let him remember also that the
worth Of the ideal must be largely de-
termined by the success with which it
can in practice be realized. We should
abhor the so called practical" men
whose practically assumes the shape
Of that peculiar baseness which finds
its expression in disbelief In morality
and decency, in disregard Of high
standards Of living and conduct. Such
a creature is the worst enemy OF the
body polite. But only less desira BILE
as citizen is his nominal opponent
and real ally, the man Of fantastic
vision who makes the impossible bet
ter forever the enemy Of the possible
good.
The Slave Of Names.
Much Of the discussion about social
ism and individualism is entirely point
less because of failure to agree on
Technology. 1t is not good to be the
slave Of names. l am strong indi-
vidualist by personal habit, inherit
ance and conviction. but it is mere
matter of common sense to recognize
that the state. the community, the
citizens acting together. can do a num-
Der of things better than If they were
left to individual action.
The individualism which finds its
expression in the abuse 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 tri-
umphs by greed and cunning, which
exploits the weak by craft instead of
ruling them by brutality.
We ought to 60 with any man In
the effort to bring about justice and
the equality of opportunity, to turn the
tool user more and more into the tool
owner, to shift burdens so that they
can be more equitably borne.
The deadening effect on any race Of
the adoption Of a logical and extreme
socialistic system could not be over
stated. It would spell sheer destruc-
ton. 1t would produce grosser wrong
and outrage. fouler immortality, than
any existing system. But this does not
mean that we may not with great ad-
vantage adopt certain Of the principles
protested by some given set Of men
who happen to call themselves Social
lists.
We are bound in honor to refuse to
listen to those men who would make
us desist from the effort to do away
with the inequality which means in
justice, the inequality Of right, Of op-
portunity, of privilege. We are bound
in honor to strive to bring ever nearer
the day when as far as is humanity
possible we shall be able to realize the
ideal that each man shall have an
equal opportunity to show the STUFF
that Is in him by the way in which he
renders service.
There are plenty Of men calling
themselves Socialists with whom up
to a certain point it Is quite possible
to work. If the next step is one which
both We and they wish to take. why.
Of course, take It without any regard

|. Finally, even more important than
ability to work, even more important
than ability to fight at need, is it to
remember that the chief of blessings
for any nation is that it shall leave its
seed to inherit the land. The greatest
Of all curses is the curse Of sterility.
and the severest Of all condemna tons
should be that visited upon willfuI
sterility.
The first essential in any civilizat ion
Is that the man and the woman shall
be father and mother Of healthy chill
dren. so that the race shall increase
and not decrease. II this is not so, II
through no fault Of the society there
is failure to increase. it is a great mis-:
fortune. II the failure is due to de-
liberate and willful fault, then it is
not merely misfortune; It is one of
those crimes Of ease and self indul.
gence, Of shrinking from pain and ef-
fort and risk, which in the long run
nature Furnishes more heavily than any
other.
If we Of the great republics, If we,
the free people who claim to have
emancipated ourselves from the thral-
dom Of wrong and error, bring down
on our heads the curse that comes
upon the willfully barren, then it will
be- an idle waste Of breath to prattle
Of our achievements, to boast Of all
that we have done.
No refinement Of life, no delicacy Of
taste, no material progress, no sordid
heaping up Of riches, no sensuous de-
velopment Of art and literature, can in
any way compensate for the loss Of
the great fundamental virtues, and Of
these great fundamental virtues the
greatest is the races power to per-
petuate the race.
Mans Chief Duty.
Character must show itself in the
mans performance both Of the duty
he owes himself and Of the duty he
owes the state. The mans foremost
duty is owed to himself and his fam
lily, and he can do this duty only by
earning money, by providing what is
essential to material we'll being. 1t
Is only after this has been done that
he can hope to build higher super
structure on the solid material foun-
dalton. 1t is only after this has been
done that he can help in movements
for the general we'll being.
1t is not good to excite that bitter
laughter which expresses contempt,
and contempt is what we feel for the
being whose enthusiasm to benefit
mankind is such that he is a burden
to those nearest him, who wishes to
do great things for humanity in the
abstract, but who cannot keep his
wife In comfort or educate his chill
dren.
decline to recognize the mere mul-
timillionaire, the man Of mere wealth,
as an asset Of value to any country,
and especially as not an asset to my
own country. If he has earned or
uses his wealth in a way that makes
him Of real benefit, Of real use-and

to the fact that our Views as TO the
tenth step may differ. But, on the 9TH
er hand, keep clearly in mind that,
though it has been worth while to
take one step. this does not In the
least mean that it may not be highly
disadvantageous to take the next
It is Just as foolish to refuse all
progress because people demanding 1t
desire at some points to 60 to absurd
extremes as it would be to go to these
absurd extremes simply because some
of the measures advocated by the ex-
tremists were wise.
Persecution Is bad because 1t IL per-
secution and without reference to
which side happens ut the moment to
be the prosecutor and which the perse-
cuted.
Danger Of Class Hatred.
Glass hatred is bad in just the same
way and without any regard to the
Individual who at a given time sub
stitutes loyalty to a class for loyalty
to the nation or substitutes hatred Of
men because they happen to come in
a certain social category, for judgment
awarded them according to their con-
duct. :
In republic to be successful we
must learn to combine intensity of con-
viction with a broad tolerance Of Diff
ference of conviction. Wide differ
ences Of opinion in matters Of religious,
political and social belief must exist If
conscience and intellect alike are not
to be stunted. if there Is to be room
for healthy growth.
Bitter internecine hatreds, based on
such differences, are signs not Of ear
nestness of belief, but Of that fanati- !;
cism which, whether religious or anti
religious, democratic or anti-democrat-
ic, is itself but manifestation Of the
gloomy bigotry which has been the
chief factor in the downfall of so
many, many nations.
Good Patriot First.
l believe that a man must be a good
patriot before he can be, and as the
only possible way Of being, a good cit
lien Of the world. Experience teaches
US that the average man who protests
that his International feeling swamps
his national feeling, that he does not |
care for his country because he cares
so much for mankind. in actual prac-
tice proves himself the foe Of man
kind; that the man who says that he !
does not care to be a citizen Of any
one country because he is citizen of
the world is in very fact usually AMI
exceedingly undesirable citizen Of
whatever corner Of the world he hap
pens at the moment to be in.
Nearly seven centuries ago Frois-
sart, writing Of a time Of dire disaster,
said that the realm Of France was
never so stricken that there were notI
left men who would valiantly fight
for it. You have had a great past.
I believe that you win have a great
future. Long may you carry your
selves proudly as citizens Of a nation !
which bears leading part in the
teaching and uplifting Of mankind.
