In the course OF the address Roose-
velt made reference to the subject OF
human rights and property right in the
following paragraph:
My position as regards the monied
interests can be put in few words,
In every civilized society property
rights must be carefully safeguarded.
Ordinarily and in a great majority of
cases human rights and property rights
are fundamentally and, in the long run,
identical: but when it clearly appears
that there is real conflict between
them, human right must have the up
per hand, for property belongs to man
and not man to property"
Day at Intellectual Center.
Roosevelt spent today in the Latin
quarter across the Seine, which was the
center o4 the intellectual world for
centuries. At o'clock this afternoon.
In his capacity as foreign member of

to thk traditional custom Of the acad-
emysl moral and politiaci sciences.
Rooseveft entered without formal pre-
sefitation. Emile Boutroux, who presided
addressed the academy upon the result
Of his observation during his recent
visit to the United States regarding the
Growth Of education there. He took
RoOsevelt's ideal as the highest type Of
man which American education sought
to produce, quoting frequently Roose-
yelt's own words in exposition Of his
theme.
aooseveIt's Definition Of Citizenship.
In his lecture Mr.. Roosevelt said:
with you here, and with us in my
own home, in the long run, success or
failure will be sconditioned 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 oc-
casional crises which call for the heroic
virtues. The average citizen must be
good citizen II our republics are to
succeed. The stream will not perma-
nently rise higher than the main
source; and the main source of ma
tiona1 power and national greatness is
found in the average citizenship of the
nation. Therefore it behooves US to do
our best to see that the standard Of the
average citizen is kept high; and the
average can not be kept high unless the
standard Of the leaders is very much
higher.
TT Is we'll II a large proportion Of
the leaders in any republic, in any
democracy, are, as a matter of course.
drawn from the classes represented in
this audience today; but only pro-
vided that those classes possess the
gifts OF sympathy with plain people and
of devotion to great ideals. You and
those like you have received special ad-
vantages: you have all of you had the
opportunity for mental training; many
OF you have had leisure; most Of you
have had a chance for the enjoyment
OF life far greater than comes TO the
majority Of your fellows. To you and
syour kind much has been given, and
from you much should be expected.
The Man Who Counts.
& '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 tho arena, whose face is
marred by dust and sweat and blood:
who strives valiantly; who errs, and
comes short again and again, because
there IL no effort without error and
s1,ortcoming: but who does actually
sstrive to do the deeds; who knows the
great enthusiasm, the great devotions;
who spends himself in worthy cause:
who at the best knows in the end the
triumph OF high achievement, and who
1t the worst, II he fails, at least fails
while daring greatly, 80 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 refine
Snnent to develop in a fastidiousness that
UNITS him for doing the rough work Of
workaday world. Among the free
peoples who govern themselves there
Is hut small field OF usefulness open
for the men Of clustered life who
shrink from contact with their fellows
etfll 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 forsthose others who always
profess that they would like to take

were not what they. actually are.
