Terror of Frankness.
“There Is no worse vice than
frankness," said Booth Tarkington, at
a farewell dinner In New York prece-
dent to hlB departure for Europe.
“How should I feel, for example, if I
asked yon for your opinion of my
plnys, and you answered mo frankly,
quite frankly?
“Why, I should feel like the poor
lady at the bridge drive who said to
her hostess’ little daughter:
“ ‘Your eyes are such a hoavenly
blue. And what color aro my eyes,
darling?'
“The child's high treble traveled
easily to the further corner of the
quiet room as she replied, looking
earnestly up Into her questioner’s
face:
“ ‘l)wab middles, yellow whites
and wed wlms!”’
Inside and Out.
Spenker Cannon, at a dinner In
Washington, said, soothingly, to a

“After all, you know, there Is room
for both men and women In this world.
Men have their work to do and women
have theirs.
“It Is the woman’s work to provide
for the Inner man, and It Is the man's
to provide for the outer woman.”

HEARD 10 BERLIN
Ex-President Lectures on “The
World Movement.”
UNIVERSITY AULA THRONGED
Modern Civilization It Compared With
That of Former Agee—Speaker le
Hopeful for the Future of
Mankind.
Berlin.—Before an audience of
learned men and offlclaln of high
mark, Theodore Roosevelt lectured
Thursday In the University of Berlin.
Every seat In the aula was occupied,
and many hundreds of requests for
admission had to be denied. The dis-
tinguished American was Introduced
to his hearers by the rector of the
university. His subject was “The
World Movement,” and he spoke In
English Instead of In German as he
at one time Intended.
Beginning with an eloquent eulogy
of the German race and Its achieve-
ments, the lecturer soon reached the
main theme of his discourse, and re-
viewed the civilization and culture, so
far as we know them, of the earliest
peoples and their contributions to the
modern world. Ho then continued:
Modern Movement Begins.
At lust, a little over 400 years
a*o. the movement tdWards a world civili-
zation took up its Interrupted march. The
betrlnnlntc of the modern movement may
roughly he taken as Hynchronlzlng with
the fllsrovery of printing, and with that
series of bold sea ventures which culmi-
nated in the discovery of America; and
after these two epochal feats had begun
to produce their full effects In material
and Intellectual life, It became Inevitable
that civilization should thereafter differ
not only In degree but even In kind from
all that had gone before. Immediately
after the voyage of Columbus and VaMco
da Gama there began a tremendous re-
ligious ferment; the awakening of Intel-
lect went hand In hand with the moral
uprising; the great names of Copernicus,
Bruno, Kepler, and Galileo show that the
mind of man whs breaking the fetters
that had cramped It; and for the first
time experimentation was used as a check
Upon observation and theorization. Hlncn
MM, osatury by esntury, tin changes
have Increased in rapidity and complex-
ity, and huve attained their maximum In
both respects during the century Just
past.
Instead of being directed by one or two
dominant peoples, as was the case with
all similar movements of the past, the
new movement was shared by many dif-
ferent nations. From every standpoint It
has been of Infinitely greater moment
than anything hitherto seen. Not In one
but In many different peoples there has
been extraordinary growth In wealth, In
population. In power of organization, and
In mastery over mechanical activity and
natural resources. All of tills has been
accompanied and slgnullzcd by an Im-
mense outburst of energy and restless
Initiative. The result Is varied as it Is
striking
Conquest of the World.
Tn the first place, representatives of this
civilization, by their conquest of space,
were enabled to spread into all the prac-
tically vacant continents, while at the
same time, by their triumphs In organiza-
tion and mechanical Invention, they ac-
quired an unheard-of military superiority
as compared with their former rivals. To
these two facts ts primarily due the
further fact that for the first time there
Is really something that approaches a
world civilisation, a world movement. The
spread of the European peoples since the
days of Ferdinand the Catholic and Ivan
the Terrible has been across every sea
and over every continent. In places tho
conquests have been ethnic; that Is, there
has been a new wandering of the peoples,
and new commonwealths have sprung up
In which the people are entirely or main-
ly of European blood. This Is what hap-
pened In the temperate and sub-tropical
regions of the Western Hemisphere. In
Australia, In portions of northern Asia
and southern Africa. In other places the
conquest has been purely political, the
Europeans representing for the most part
merely a small caste of soldiers and ad-
ministrators, as In most of tropical Asia
and Africa and In much of tropical Amer-
ica. Finally, hero and there Instances oc-
cur where there has been no conquest at
all, hut where an alien people Is profound-
ly and radically ehnnged by the mere Im-
pact of western civilisation.
There are of course many grades be-
tween these different types of Influence,
hut the net outcome of wlmt has occurred
during the last four centuries Is that civi-
lization of the European type now exer-
cises a more or less profound effect over
practically the entire world. There are
nooks and corners to which It has not yet
penetrated; hut there Is at present no
large space of territory la which the gen-
eral movement of civilised activity does
not make itself more or less felt. This
represents something wholly different
from what 1ms ever hltlu rto been seen.
Tn the greatest days of Human dominion
the Influence of Home was felt over only
a relatively small portion of the world's
surface. Over much the larger part of tho
world tho process of change and develop-
ment was absolutely unaffected by any-
thing that occurred In the llonmn empire*;
and those communities the play of whose
Influence was felt In action and reaction,
and In Interaction, among themselves,
were grouped Immediately nround the
Mediterranean. Now, however, the whole
world Is hound together ns never before;
the bonds are sometimes those of hatred
rather than love, but they aro bonds
nevertheless.
All the Nations Linked.
Frowning or hopeful, every man of lead-
ership in any line of thought or effort
must now look beyond the limits of his
own country. The student of sociology
may live In Berlin or St. Petersburg,
Home or London, or he may live In Mel-
bourne or San Francisco or Buenos Aires;
hut In whatever city he lives, he must pay
heed to the studies of men who live In
•uch of the other cities. When In Amer-
ica we study labor problems and attempt
to deal with subjects such as life Insur-
ance for wage-workers, we turn to see
what you do here in Germany, and we
also turn to see what the far-off com-
monwealth of New Zealand Is doing.
When a great German scientist Is warring
against the most dreaded enemies of man-
kind, creatures of infinitesimal slse which
the microscope reveals In his blood, he
may spend his holidays of study in cen-
tral Africa or In eastern Asia; and he
must know what Is accomplished In tho
laboratories of Tokyo, Just as he must
know the details of that practical applica-
tion of science which has changed tho
Isthmus of Panama from a death-trap
Into what Is almost a health resort. Every
progressive In China Is striving to Intro-
duce western methods of education and
administration, and hundreds of European
and American honks are now translated
Into Chinese. The Influence of European
governmental principles Is strikingly Il-
lustrated by the fact that admiration for
them has broken down the Iron barriers of
Moslem conservatism, so that their Intro-
fUetlon has become a burning question In
Turkey and Persia; while the very unrest,
the Impatience of European or American
control. In India, Egypt, or the Philip-
pines. takes the form of demanding that
the government be assimilated more close-
ly to what It Is In England or the United
States The deeds and works of any great
statesman, the preachings of any great
ethical, social, or political teacher, now
And echoes In both hemispheres and In
cv. r v MltiMlt From a new .11m.-overy In
science to a new method of combating or
applying Socialism, there Is no movement
of note which can take place In any part
of the globe without powerfully affecting
masses of people in Europe. America, and
Australia. In Asia and Africa. For weal
or for woe, the peoples of mankind are
knit together far closer than ever before.
So much for the geographical side of
the expansion of modern civilization. But
only a few of tho many and intense ac-
tivities of modern civilization have found
their expression on this side. The move-
ment has been Just as striking In Its con-
quest over natural forces, In Its searching
Inquiry Into arid about the soul of things.
Stenin and electricity have given the
race dominion over land and water such
ns It never had before; and now the con-
quest of the nlr Is directly impending. As
hooks preserve* thought through time, so
the telegraph and the telephone transmit
it through the space they annihilate, and
therefore minds are swayed one by an-
other without regard to the limitations of
space* and time which formerly forced
each community to work In comparative
Isolation. It Is the same with the body as
with the brain. The machinery of the fac-
tory and the farm enormously multiplies
bodily skill and vigor. Countless trained
Intelligences are at work to teach us how
to avoid or counteract the effects of
waste.
In the Realm of Intellect.
The advances In the renlm of pure Intel-
lect have been of equal note, and they
have been both Intensive and extensive.
Great virgin fields of learning and wis-
dom have been discovered by the few,
end at the same time knowledge has
spread among the many to a degree never
dreamed of before. Old men among us
have seen In their own generation the
rise of the first rational science of tho
evolution of life. The astronomer and the
chemist, the psychologist nnd the his-
torian, and all their brethren In many dif-
ferent fields of wide endeavor, work with
a training ami knowledge nnd method
which are In effect Instruments of pre-
cision differentiating their labors from
the labors of their predecessors as the
rifle Is differentiated from the bow.
The play of new forces Is ns evident In
the moral nnd spiritual world as In the
world of the mind and the body.
One Danger of Civilization.
One of the prime dangers of civilization
has always been Its tendency to cause
the loss of the virile fighting virtues, of
the fighting edge. When men get too com-
fortable and lead too luxurious lives there
Is always danger lest the softness eat like
an acid Into their manliness of fiber. The
barbarian, because of the very conditions
of his life. Is forced to keep nnd develop
certain hardy qualities which the man of
civilization tends to lose, whether he he
clerk, factory hand, merchant, or even a
certain type of farmer. Now T will not
assert that In modern civilized society
these tendencies have been wholly over-
come; but there has been a much morn
successful effort to overcome them than
was the case In the early civilizations.
This Is curiously shown by the military
history of the Graeco-Homan period as
compared with the history of the lust four
or five centuries here In Europe and
among nations of European descent. In
the Grecian and Homan military history
the ehnnge was steadily from a citizen
army to an army of mercenaries. In the
days of the early greatness of Athens,
Thebes, and Sparta, In the days when the
Homan republic conquered what world It
knew, the armies were filled with citizen
ooldlers. But gradually the citizens re-
fused to serve In the armies, or became
unable to render good service. The Greek
States described by Polybius, with hut few
exceptions, hired others to do their fight-
ing for them. The Homans of the days of
Augustus hud utterly ceased to furnish
any cavalry, and were rapidly censing to
furnish any Infantry, to the legions and
cohorts. When the civilization came to
an end. there wore no longer citizens in
the ranks of the soldiers. The change
front the citizen army to the army of
mercenaries had been completed.
Modern Citizens’ Armies.
Now, the exact reverse has been the
case with us In modern times. A few
centuries ago the mercenary soldier was
tin* principal figure hi most armies, anti In
great numbers of cases the mercenary
soldier was an alien. In the wars of re-
ligion In France, In tin* Thirty Years'
war In Germany, In the wars that Imme-
diately marked the beginning of the
break-up of the givat Polish kingdom, the
regiments and brigades of foreign sol
tilers formed a striking and leading fea-
ture Iti every army. Too often the men
of the country In which the lighting took
place played merely the Ignoble part of
victims, the burghers and peasants ap-
pearing In hut limited numbers in the
mercenary armies by which they wore
plundered. Gradually this has all changed,
until now practically every army Is a
citizen army, and the mercenary has al-
mort disappeared, while the army exists
on a vaster scale than ever before In his-
tory. This Is st* among the military mon-
archies of Europe.
In our own Civil war of the United
States the same thing occurred, peaceful
people us we are. At that time more than
two generations had passed since the
War of Independence. Luring the whole
of that period the people had been en-
gaged tn no Itfe and-death struggle; anti
yet, when the Civil war broke out, and
after pome costly anti bitter lessons at
the beginning, the fighting spirit of the
people was shown to better advantage
than ever before. The war was peculiar-
ly u war for a principle, a war waged

and shortcomings were plentiful among

little sordidness of motive or conduct. In 1
such a giant struggle, where across the
warp of so many Interests Is shot the
woof of so many purposes, dark strands
and bright, strands somber and brilliant,
are always Intertwined; Inevitably there
was corruption here and there In the Civil
war; but all the leaders on both sides,
and the great majority of the enormous
masses of fighting men, wholly disre-
garded, and were wholly uninfluenced by,
pecuniary considerations.
Wealth and Politlce.
Another striking contrast in the course
of modern civilisation as compared with
the later stages of the Graei o-Roman or
classic civilisation Is to be found In the
relations of wealth and politics. In clas-
sic times, as the civilisation advum • i to-
ward Its zenith, politics became a recog-
nised means of accumulating great
wealth. Caesar was again and again on
the verge of bankruptcy; he spent an
enormous fortune; and he recouped him- '
self by the money which he made out of
his political-military career. Augustus es- ,
tabllshed Imperial Rome on Arm founda-
tions by the use he made of the huge
fortune he had acquired by plunder. What
a contrast Is offered by the careers of ;
Washington and Lincoln! There were a
few exceptions In ancient days; but the
Immense majority of the Greeks and the
Romans, as their civilizations culminated,
accepted money-making on a largo scale
as one of the Incidents of a successful
public career. Now all of this Is In sharp
contrast to what has happened within |
the last two or three centuries. During
this time there has been a steady growth
away from the theory that money-making
Is permissible In an honorable public ca-
reer.
In this respect the standard has been
constantly elevated, and things which
statesmen had no hesitation In doing
three centuries or two centuries ago, and
which did not seriously hurt a public ca-
reer even a century ago, aro now utterly
Impossible. Wealthy men still exercise a
large, and sometimes an Improper, influ- 1
enee In polities, but It Is apt to be an In-
direct Influence; and In the advanced
states the mere suspicion that the wealth
of public men Is obtained or added to as
an Incident of their public careers will
bar them from public life. Speaking
generally, wealth may very greatly Influ-
ence modern political life, but It Is not ac-
quired in political life.
Optimistic for the Future.
Mr. Roosevelt called attention to
the fact that hitherto every civiliza-
tion that has arisen has been able to
develop only a few activities, Its field
of endeavor being limited in kind as
well as In locality, and each of these
civilizations has fallen. What Is the
lesson to us of today? he asked. Will
the crash come, and be all the more
terrible because of the immense In-
crease In activities and area? To this
he replied:
Personally. I do not believe that our
civilization will fall. I think that on the
whole we have grown better and not
worse. I think that an the whole the fu-
ture holds more for us than even the
great paHt has held. But. assuredly, the
dreams of golden glory In the future will
not come true unless, hlgn of heart and
strong of hand, by our own mighty deeds
we make them come true. We cannot af-
ford to develop any one set of qualities,
any one set of activities, at the cost of
seeing others, equally necessary, atro^
phled. Neither the military efficiency of
the Mongol* the extraordinary buslnsss
ability of the Phoenician, nor the subtle
and polished Intellect of the Greek availed
to avert destruction
We, tho men of today and of the fu-
ture, need many qualities If we are to do
our work well. We need, first of all and
most Important of all. the qualities which
stand at the base of Individual, of family
life, the fundamental and essential quali-
ties—the homely, every-day, all-important
virtues. If the average man will not
work, If he hns not In him the will and
tho power to he a good husband and fa-
ther; If the average woman Is not a good |
housewife, a good mother of many
healthy children, then the state will top-
ple, will go down, no matter what may
be its brilliance of artistic development
or material achievement. But these home-
ly qualities are not enough. There must, 1
In addition, be that power of organization,
that power of working In common for a
common end, which the German people
have shown In such signal fashion during
the last half-century. Moreover, tho
things of the spirit are even more Impor-
tant than the things of the body. We can
well do without the hard Intolerance and
arid Intellectual barrenness of what was
worst In the theological systems of the
past, but there hns never been a greater
ne« d of a high and fine religious spirit
than at the present time. So, while we
can laugh good-humoredly at some of
the pretensions of modern philosophy In
Its various branches, it would be worse
than folly on our part to ignore our need
of Intellectual leadership.
Must Steer Middle Course.
Never has philanthropy, humanitarian-
ism, seen such development as now; nnd
though we must all beware of the folly
and the vidotisness no worse than folly,
which marks the believer In the perfec- ;
tlhlllty of man when his heart runs away
with lfls head, or when vanity usurps the
place of conscience, yet we must remem-
ber also that It Is only by working along j
the lines laid down hy tho philanthropists,
by the lovers of mankind, that we can
he sure of lifting our civilization to a
higher and more permanent plane of well-
being than was ever attained hy any pre-
ceding civilization. Unjust war is to he
abhorred; hut woo to the nation that does
r.ot make ready to hold Its own In time
of need against all who would harm It;
nnd woe thrice over to the nation in
which tho average man loses the fighting
edge, loses the power to servo ns a sol-
dier If the dny of need should arise.
It Is no Impossible dream to bulk! up a
civilization In which morality, ethical de-
velopment. and a true feeling of brother-
hood shall alike he divorced from false
sentimentality, and from tho rancorous
and evil passions which, curiously enough,
so often accompany professions of senti-
mental attachment to the rights of man;
In which a high material development In
the things of the body shall be achieved
without subordination of the things of
tho soul; In which there shall be a genu-
ine desire for peart and Justice without
loss of those virile qualities without which
no love of peace or Justice shall avail any
race; In which the fullest development of
scientific research, the great distinguish-
ing feature of our present civilization,
shall yet not Imply a belief that Intellect
can ever take the place of character—for.
from the standpoint of the nation as of
the Individual, it Is character that Is the
ono vital possession.

Loss of appetite is ono of the surest
signs of inward weakness and if you
are wise you will heed the warning
promptly and take a few doses of Hos-
tetter's Stomach Bitters. The system
requires a certain amount of nourish-
ment every day in order to keep up
health and strength and to replace the
waste portions. This can only be ac-
complished with a keen appetite and
and perfect digestion and assimilation
of the food. Then again Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters should be taken. It
will stimulate the flow of gastric juices,
so essential to perfect digestion, and
aid in every way possible. For over
56 years it has been used with wonder-
ful success in cases of Poor Appetite,
Heartburn, Flatulency, Indigestion,
Dyspepsia, Costiveness, Biliousness
and Malaria.

The Horse In America.
Dr. O. P. Hay expresses the belief
that horses became extinct In tin
glaciated region* of North America,
and probably In the whole continent,
about the middle of the glacial epoch.
He points out that aP. the apparently
authentic finds of fossil horses In the
United States east of the great plains
fall Into two seta of localities, one
ranging along the Atlantic and gulf
coasts, and the other extending from
New Jersey to South Dakota, the lo-
calities In the last set lying, with few
exception*, close to the southern bor-
der of the drift-covered area. The
earliest discovery of fossil hors* re-
main* waa made near the Neverilnk
highlands.
