COL. ROOSEVELT IN PARIS
Former President Popular in the
French Capital.

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt ar
rived in Paris last week to
remain several days. He was
received by the people and officials
with great honor, and his lecture
last Saturday at the Sarbonne,
which was the greatest seat of
learning in Europe before America
was discovered, was greeted with
every appearance of popular ap-
proval. In this lecture, which he
had written year and half ago,
the former president defined the
duties of individual citizenship in
a republic, scorning the sluggard,
cynics and idle rich and preaching
the gospel of work, character and
the strenuous life. He repeated a
part in French, saying he desired
everyone to understand him.
Following the lecture, in reply
ing to M. Boutroux, before the
Academy of Moral and Physical
Science, Mr.. Roosevelt spoke in
French. M. Boutroux, he said,
had defined his moral conception
of life better than he could him.
self have done, and he continued:
81 have always tried to translate
into action the moral principles
which must inspire the life of men
and nations. There can be no
economic civilization without
morality. Genius is not essential,
but only courage, honesty, sincerity
and common sense. Men of gen.
ius without these qualities are a
curse to nation. They do more
harm than good"

ROOSEVELT IN D|2 /?
Is Taft to Retire After One
Term?
RUMORS IN WASHINGTON
Interest in Retirement Of Senators
Hale and Aldrich.

washington, -. ~, April 49,
There is no little interest in politi
cal circles here with reference t
the retirement of Senators Hal.
and Aldrich, the former for thirty
years the senior senator from
Maine and the latter for like
period Of Rhode Island. These
senators have been without doub,
more influential than any other two
in the senate. Senator Aldrich is
called in Newspaper Row the
"boss" Of the senate, and Senator
Hale the ruler Of the United States
navy.
Senator Hale's declination to
serve longer than the fourth of
March next appears to be based
upon the ground that after having
received Ave unanimous nomina-
tions for as many terms in the
senate, he will not engage in a
scramble for sixth endorsement.
The Maine senator is seventy-four
years old and may be said to be-
long to past political era. There
are other reasons why both these
aged statesmen should give place
to younger men. "The times
change and the world must change
with Them" Insurgent statesmen
like LaFollette, Cummins, Bever-
idge and Dolliver appear to have
the stage and the ear Of an audi
ence almost as large as the census.
The election Of Foss democrat in
Massachusetts few days ago and
Havens' election in New York,
changing strong republican ma
jorities into democratic majorities,
indicate revolution in politics.
A notable episode of the week
was the call of Mr.. Hearst on
President Taft and his eulogy of
the President after he had de-
parted. He said that Mr.. Taft
had accomplished as much in one
year as Roosevelt had in seven.
1t will be remembered that the
New York publisher and Mr..
Roosevelt were anything but
friends.
No matter how much Mr.. Hearst
may think Taft is superior to
Roosevelt, he is evidently with the
minority in this opinion. The
opinion prevailing here is that
Roosevelt will be a presidential
candidate in 1912 and that the
nomination will be forced upon
him. 1t is also understood that
President Taft has had enough OF
the burdens of office and has
definitely decided against a can
didacy for reelection. Moreover,
it is announced that he will advo-
cate the nomination of Theodore
Roosevelt. AS has often been
stated, Mr.. Taft prefers the law to
rulership. He has often made the
declaration that all his training
has been the Interpretation OF the
law. He has aspired to seat on
the supreme bench and surely the
preparation of his life, not omittine
the highest Office in the gift OF the
people, has been in the direction
of preparation for the supreme
court. 1t is said by those who
profess to know that Chief Justice
Fuller OF the supreme court, al
though eligible to retirement, will
remain until the end of the presi-
dental term and will retire at a
time that will enable Mr.. Taft's
successor as president to appoint
him to the chief justiccship.
