Oxford, England.—Tho Romanes
lecture by Theodore Roosevelt, which
wan to have been delivered on May 18,
but which was postponed on account
of the death of King Edward, was
given on June 7 by the distinguished
American. The Sheldonlan theater
was filled to Its capacity by notable
persons and Oxford students and the
lecture, which was on "Biological
Analogies In History," was well re-
ceived. Lord Curzon, chancellor of the
university, presided.
In seeking to penetrate the causes
of the mysteries that surround not
only mankind but all life, both in the
present and the past, said Mr. Roose-
velt, we see strange analogies in the
phenomena of life and death, of birth
growth and change, between those
physical groups of animal life which
we designate as species, forms, races
and the highly complex and composite
entities which rise before our minds
when we speak of nations and civi-
lizations. It is this study, he assert-
ed, that has given science its present-
day prominence, and the historian of
mankind must work in the scientific
spirit and use the treasure-houses of
science.
To illustrate, the lecturer took sev-
eral instances of the development of
new species and the extinction of spe-
cies in the history of mammalian life,
showing tliat in some cases the causes
can be traced with considerable accu-
racy, and in other cases we cannot so
much as hazard a guers as to why a
given change occurred.
Analogies in Human History.
Continuing, Mr. Roosevelt said in
part:
Now, as to all of tho«--e phenomena I" the
evolution of specie.-. tli<'re are. If not
homologies, at leost certain analogies in
the history of human societies. In th«*
history of the rise to prominence, of the
development nnd change, of the tem-
porary dominance, and death or trans-
formation, of the groups of varying kind
which form races or nations.
As In biology, so in human history, a
new form may result from the specializa-
tion of a long-existing and hitherto very
slowly-changing generalized or non-
speclallted form, as. for Instance, when
a barbaric race from a variety of causes
suddenly develops a more complex culti-
vation and civilization. That is what oc-
curred, for Instan e. In western Europe
during the centuries of the Teutonic and
later the Scandinavian ethnic overflows
from the north. All the modern countries
of western Europe are descended from the
states created by these northern invaders
1 When first created they could be culled
"new" or "young" states In the sense
that part or nil of the people composing
them were descended from races that
hitherto had not been civilized at nil, and
that therefore for the first time entered
on the career of civilized communities.
In the southern part of western Europe
the new states thus formed consisted in
hulk of the Inhabitants already in tli
under the Roman empire, ami It
here that the new kingdoms ilrst took
shape. Through a reflex action their
Influence then extended back Into the cold
forests from which the Invaders had come,
and Germany nnd S andlnavla witnessed
the rise of communities with essentially
the same civilization as their southern
neighbors; though In those communities,
unlike the southern communities, there
wag no Infusion of new blood, and In each
case the new civilized nation which gradu-
ally developed was composed entirely of
members of the same race which in the
same region had for ug«*s lived the life of
a slowly changing barbarism. The same
was true of the Slavs and the Slavotiized
Finns of eastern Europe, when an Infil-
tration of Scandinavian leaders from the
north and infiltration of Byzantine
culture from the south Joined to produce
the changes which have gradually, out of
the little Slav communities of the forest
and the steppe, formed the mighty Russian
empire of today
"New" and "Young" Nations.
Again, the new form
merely a splitting off from a loriR estab
llshetl, highly developed and specialized
nation. In this case the nation Is usually
spoken of as a "your
spoken of as n "new
term should always bf
senst of the different-
described In such casi
■crlbed by the same term In speaking of j
a civilized nation Just developed from a j
barbarism. Carthage and Syracuse were I
new cities compared with Tyre and Cor- I
Inth; but the Oreek or Phoenician race was
In every sense of the word aa old In the
new city as In the old city. So. nowadays.
Victoria or Man'toba Is a new community
compared with England or Scotland, hut
the ancestral type of civilization and cul-
ture Is as old in one case as In the other.
I of course do not mean for a moment
that great changes are not produced by
the mere fact that the old civilized race
is suddenly placed In surroundings where
It has again to go through the work of
taming the wilderness, a work finished
many centuries before In the original
home of the race. 1 merely mean that
the ancestral history la the same In each
rase, We can rightly us* the phrase "a
new people" In speaking of ('unadlans
or Auxtiallans Americans or Afrikanders.
Rut we use It In an entirely different
sense from that In which we use It when
speuklng of such communities as those
founded by the northmen and their de>
acendants during that p*rlod of astonish
In# growth which saw the descendants of
the Norse sea-thieves nenq;ier and trans-
form Normandy, Sicily, ami the Krltlah
Islands we use It In an entirely different
ssnse from that In which we use It when
speaking of the new states that grew up
around Warsaw, KW, Novgorod, and
Moscow, as the wild savagea of the
steppis and the inarshv forests struggled
haltingly and stumbllngly upward to
bee «une builders of cities and to form
stub!# governments The kingdoms of
Charlemagne and Alfred were "new."
compared with the empire on the Foa-
tphoru*. they were also In e%ery way dif-
ferent. their lines of ancestral descent had
nothing In common with those of the
polyglot ri-slm which paid tribute to the
( aesars of llysantlum their aoclal prob-
leu s and aftertlme history were totally
different This la not true of those "now"
ration whl<h spring direct from old na-
! Uon • liiaz.ll the Argentine, the United
States, are all "new" nstlons, compared
with the nations of Europe, but with
whatever changes In detail, their civiliza-
tion Is nevertheless of the general Euro-
pean type, as shown In Portugal. Spain,
and England. The differences between
these "new" American and these "old"
European nations are not as great as those
which separate the "new" nations one
from another and the "old" nations one
from another. There are in each case
very real differenc es between the new und
the old nation—differences both for good
and for evil; but in each case there Is
the same ancestral history to reckon with,
the same type of civilization, with Us at-
tendant benefits and shortcomings, and,
after the pioneer stages are passed, the
problems to be solved, in spite of superfi-
cial differences, are In their essence the
same; they are those that confront all
civilized peoples, not those that confront
peoples struggling from barbarism Into
civilization.
So, when we speak of the "death" of
a tribe, a nation or a civilization, the term
may be used for either one or two totally
different processes; the ana'ogy with
what occurs In biological history being
complete. Certain tribes of savages, the
Tasmanlans. for Instance, and various lit-
tle clans of American Indians, have within
the last century or two completely died
out; all of the Individuals have perished,
leaving no descendants, and the blood has
disappeared. Certain other tribes of
Indians have as tribes disappeared or
are now disappearing, but their blood
remains, being absorbed Into the veins of
the white Intruders, or of the black men
Introduced by these white Intruders, so
that In reality they are merely being
transformed Into something absolutely
different from what they were.
A like wide diversity In fact may he
covered In the statement that a civiliza-
tion has "died out."
Phenomena That Puzzle.
In dealing, not with groups of human
beings In simple and primitive relations,
but with highly complex, highly special-
ized. civilized, or semi-civilized societies,
there is need of great caution in drawing
analogies with what has occurred In the
development of the animal world. Yet
even In these cases It Is curious to se'
how some of the phenomena In the
growth and disappearance of these com-
plex. artificial groups of human beings
resemble what has happened in myriads
of instances In the history of life on this
planet.
Why do great artificial empires, whose
citizens are knit by a bond of speech and
culture much more than by a bond of
rtlood, show periods of extraordinary
growth, arid again of sudden or lingering
decay? In some cases we can answer
readily enough; in other cases we can-
not as yet even guess what the proper
answer should be. If In any such case
the centrifugal forces overcome the cen-
tripetal, the nation will of course fly to
pieces, and the reason for its failure to
become a dominant force Is patent to
every one The minute that the spirit I
which finds Its h» ilthy development in I
local self-government, and in ti e antidote
to the dangers of an extreme centraliza-
tion. develops into mere particularism.
Into Inability to combine effectively for •
achievement of a common end. then it is
hopeless to expect great results. Poland
and certain republics of the western I
hemisphere are the standard examples of |
failure of this kind; and the United States
would have ranked w.ih them, and Its
name would have become a byword of
derlSlon, If the forces of union had not
triumphed In the civil war. So the
growth of soft luxury after It has readied
a certain point becomes a national danger
patent to all. Again. It needs but little of
the vision of a seer to foretell what must
happen In any community If the average
woman ceases to become the mother of a
family of healthy children. If the average
man loses the will and the power to work
up to old age and to fight whenever the
need arises. If the homely, commonplace
virtues die out. If strength of character
vanishes In graceful self-Indulgence, if the
virile qualities atrophy, then the nation
has lost what no material prosperity can
offset.
Rut there are plenty of other phenom-
ena wholly or partially Inexplicable. It Is
easy to see why Rome trended downward
when great slave-tilled farms spread over
what had once been a countryside of
peasant proprietors when greed and lux-
ury and sensuality ate like acids Into the
1 fiber of the upper classes, while the mass
I of the citizens grew to depend, not upon
j their own exertions, but upon the state,
land | for their pleasures and their very liveli-
hood. Hut this does not explain why the
forward movement stopped at different
times, so far as different matters were
concerned; at one time as regards litera-
ture, at another time as regards architec-
ture. at another time as regards city
building We cannot even gueas why the
springs of one kind of energy dried up
while there was yet no cessation of an-
other kind.
Holland as an Example.
Take another and smaller Inst.inc. that
of Holland. For a period covering a
little more than the seventeenth century.
Holland, like some of the Italian city
states at an earlier period, stood on the
dangerous heights of greatness beside na-
tions so vastly her superior In territory
and population as to make It Inevitable
that sooner or later she must fall from the
glorious and perilous eminence to which
she had been raised by her own Indomita-
ble soul. Her fall came; It could not
have been Indefinitely postponed- but It

It la therefore easy to see why Holland
lost when she did her position among the
powers; but It la far more difficult to ex-
plain why at the same time thera should
have come at least a partial loss of posi-
tion in the world ef aft and letters Some
spark of divine fire burned Itself out in

statesmen, of great warriors, by land and
sea. came to an end. so the line of tha
great Dutch painters ended The loss of

loss ef pre eminence In camp and In

Danger of Race Suicide,
There are qusstlons which we of ths
great civilized nations are ever tempted to
ask of the future. Is our time ef growth
drawing to an end? Are we as nations
soon to corns under ths rule of that great
law of death, which Is Itself hut i»oj t ef the
great law of life? None can tell Forces
that we can see snd ether forces that are
hidden or that can but dimly he appre-
hended are at work all around ua, Injth

ury, In love of ease, In taste for vapid
end frivolous tsclU-arent. Is beth evident
snd unhealthy. The most ominous sign
Is the diminution In the birth-rate, In the
rate of natural increase, now to a larger
or lesser degree shared by most of the
civilized nations of central and western
Europe, of America and Australia; a dim-
inution so great that if it continues for the
next century at the rate which has ob-
tained for the last 25 yearn, all the more
highly civilized people will be stationary
or else have begun to go backward in
population, while many of them will have
already gone very far backward.
There Is much that should give us con-
cern for the future. But there is much
also which should give us hope. No man
is more apt to be mistaken than the
prophet of evil. I believe with all my
heart that a great future remains for us;
but whether It does or does not, our
duty Is not altered. However the bat-
tle may go. the soldier worthy of the
name will with utmost vigor do his al-
loted task, and bear himself as valiant-
ly In defeat as In victory. Come what
will, we belong to peoples who have not
yielded to the craven fear of being great.
In the ages that have gone by. the
great nations, the nations that have ex-
panded and that have played a mighty
part In the world, have In the end
grown old and weakened and vanished;
but so have the nations whose only
thought was to avoid all danger, all ef-
fort, who would risk nothing, and who
therefore gained nothing. In the end the
same fate may overwhelm all alike; but
the memory of the one type perishes with
It while the other lep ,es Its mark deep
on the history of all the future of man-
kind.
A nation that seemingly dies may be
born again; and even though In the
physical sense it die utterly. It may yet
haud down a history of heroic achieve-
ment. ami for all time to come may pro-
foundly influence the nations that arise In
its place by the Impress of what It has
done. Best of all Is it to do our part well,
and at the same time to see our blood live
young ami vital in men and women fit to
take up the task as we lay It down, for
so shall our seed Inherit the earth. But
If this, which Is best, Is denied us. then
at least It is ours to remember that if we
choose we can be torch-bearers, as our
fathers were before us. The torch has
been handed on from nation to nation,
from civilization to civilization through-
out all recorded time, from the dim years
before history dawned, down to the bla-
zing splendor of this teeming centi^ry of
ours. It Is dropped from the hand of the
coward and the sluggard, of the man
wrapped In luxury or love of ease, the
man whose soul was eaten away by self-
indulgence; It has been kept alight only
by those who were mighty of heart and
cunning of hand. What they worked at.
providing It was worth doing at all, was
of no less matter than how they worked,
whether In the realm of the mind or the
r«*alm of the body If their work was
good. If what they achieved was of sub-
stance, then high success was really
theirs.
Strength With Morality.
In the first part of this lecture I drew
certain analogies between wl at had oc-
curred to forms of animal life through
the procession of the ages on this planet,
and what has occurred and is occurring
to the great artificial civilizations which
have gradually spread over the world's
surface during the thousands of years
that have elapsed since cities of temple*
and palaces first rose beside the Nile and
the Euphrates, and t!ie harbors of
MInoan Crete bristled with the masts of
the Aegean craft. But of course the
parallel is true only In the roughest
and most general way. Moreover, even
between the civilizations of today and
the civilizations of ancient times there
are differences so profound that we must
be cautious In drawing any conclusions
for the present based on what has hap-
pened In the past. While freely admit-
ting all of our follies and weaknesses of
today. It Is yet mere perversity to refuse
to realize the Incredible advance that
has been made In ethical standards. I do
not believe that there Is the slightest nec-
essary connection between any weaken-
ing of virile force and this advance In
the moral standard, this growth of the
sense of obligation to one's neighbor and
of reluctance to do that neighbor wrong
We need have scant patience with that
slliy cynicism which insists that kindli-
ness of character only accompanies
weakness of character. On the contrary,
just as In private life many of the men
of strongest character are the very men
of loftiest and most exalted morality, so
I believe that In national life as the ages
go by we shall find that the permanent
national types will more and more tend
towards those in which, while the intel-
lect stands high, character stands higher;
In which rugged strength and courage,
rugged capacity to resist wrongful ag-
gression by others, will go hand in hand
with a lofty scorn of doing wrong to oth-
ers. This Is the type of Tlmoleon, of
Hampden, of Washington and Lincoln
These were as good men, as disinterested
and unselfish men. as ever served a
state, and they were also as strong men
as ever founded or saved a 8'ate. Surely
such examples prove that there Is noth-
ing Utopian In our effort to combine
Justice and strength in the same nation.
The really high civilizations must them-
selves supply the antidote to the self-in-
dulgence and love of ease which they
tend to produce.
Problems of Modern Nations.
Every modern civilized nation has many
and terrible problems to solve within Its
own borders, problems that arise not
merely from Juxtaposition of poverty and
riches, but especiallv from the self-con-
sciousness of both poverty and riches.
Each nation must deal with these mat-
ters In Its own fashion, and yet the spirit
in which the problem is approached must
ever be fundamentally the same. It
must be a spirit of broad humanity; of
brotherly kindness; of acceptance of re-
sponsibility, one for each and each for
all and at the same time a spirit as re-
mote is the poW s from every form of
weal ness and sentimentality. As In war
to pardon the coward Is to do cruel
wrong to the brave man whose life Ills
cowardice Jeopardizes, so In civil affairs
it Is revolting to every principle of
Justice to give to the lazy, the vicious, or
e\en the feeble and dull wltted, a reward
which la really the robbery of what
braver, wiser, abler men have earned.
The only effective way to help any man
is to help him to help himself, and the
wurat lesson to teach him Is that he can
be permanently helped at the expense of
soma one else True liberty shows Itself
to best advantage In protecting the rights
of others, and especially of minorities.
Privilege should not be tolerated because
It Is to the advantage of a minority, nor
yet because It is to the advantage of a
majority. No doctrinaire theories of
vested lights or freedom of contract can
stand In the way of our cutting out
abuses from the body politic. Junt a lit-
tle can we affeM to fellow the doctrin-
aires of an Impossible—and incidentally
ef a highly undesirable social revolution
Which, in iMtfoylOf Individual rights
(Including property rights) and the fam-
ily, would destroy the two chief agents In
the advance of mankind, and the two
chief reasons why either the advance or
the preservation of mankind Is worth
while it la an evil and a dreadful thing
to be callous to sorrow and suffering, and
blind to eur duty to do all things pOMtblo
for the betterment of social conditions.
Rut it Is an unspeakably fooliah thing to
strive for this betterment by means so
destructive that they would leave no so-
cial conditions to better. In dealing with
all these social problems, with the Inti-
mate rotations of the family, with wmlth
In private use and business use, with la
bor. with poverty, the one prime neces-
sity Is to remember that, though hard-
ness of heart Is a great evil, It la no
greater an evil than eoftness of head.
But in sddltlon to thus* problems ti*e
moot trrtlmate snd Imporrant of all
which to a larger or less degree affect all
the modern nations somewhat alike, we
of the great nations that have expanded,
that are new In complicated relations with
one another and with allen races, have
special problems and special duties of our
own. You belong to a nation which pus- |
sesses the greatest empire upon which the
sun has ever shone. I belong to a nation
which Is trying, on a scale hitherto unex-
ampled. to work out the problems of gov-
ernment for. of, and by the people, while
at the same time doing the International
duty of a great power. But there are
certain problems which both of us have
to solve, and as to which our standards
should he the same. The Englishman, the j
man of the British isles, In his various
homes across the seas, and the Ameri-
can, both at home and abroad, are
brought Into contact with utterly alien
peoples, some with a civilization more an-
cient than our own, others still In. or
having but recently arisen from, the bar-
barism which our people left behind ages
ago. The problems that arise are of well-
nigh Inconceivable difficulty. They cannot
be solved by the foolish sentimentality of
etay-at-home people, with little patent
recipes, and those cut-and-dried theories
of the political nursery which have such
limited applicability amid the crash of
elemental forces. Neither can they be
solved by the raw brutality of the men
who. whether at home or on the rough
frontier of civilization, adopt might as
the only standard of right In dealing with
other men. and treat alien races only as
subjects for exploitation.
No hard and fast rule can he drawn as
applying to all allen races, because they
differ from one another far more wlde-
Iv than some of them differ from us. But
there are one or two rules which must
not be forgotten. In the long run. there
can be no Justification for one race man-
aging or controlling another unless ths
management and control are exercised In
thu interest and for the benefit of that
other race. This is what our
have In the main done, and must
tlnue in the future In even greate

Duty cf Nation to Nation.
The other type of duty Is the Interna-
tional duty, the duty owed by one na-
tion to another. I hold that the laws of
morality which should govern Individu-
als in their dealings one with the other
are Just as binding concerning nations in
their dealings one with the other. The
application of the moral law must he

This celebrated institootion 1s pleas-
antly situated in the barroom of Par*
ker's, in School street, and has poopils
elves derive their force from the poii.-e from an over the country. I had a let-
ter yes'd'y, by the way, from our
mootual son, Artemus, Jr., who is at
power of the state. The nation can de-
pend upon nothing of the kind; and
therefore, as things are now, It Is tha
highest duty of the most advanced nnd
freest peoples to keep themselves In such
i stale of readiness as to forbid to any
barbarism or despotism the hope of ar-
resting the progress of the world by stri-
king down the nations that lead in that
progr^fcs. It would be foolish Indeed to
pay heed to the unwise persons who de-
sire disarmament to be begun by the
very peoples who, of all others, should
not be left helpless before any possible
fi»f*. Rut we must reprobate quite -is
strongly both the leaders and the peoples
who practise, or encourage or condone,
aggression and Iniquity by the strong at
the expense of the weak. We should tol-
erate lawlessness and wickedness neither
by the weak nor by the strong; and both
weak and strong we should In return
treat with scrupulous fairness. The for-
eign policy of a great and self-respecting
country should be conducted on exactly
the same plane of honor, of Insistence
upon one's own rights and of respect for
the rights of others, as when a brave and
honorable man Is dealing with his fel-
lows permit me to support this state-
ment out of my own experience. For
nearly eight years I was the head of a
great nation and charged especially with
the conduct ef Its foreign policy; and
during those years I took no action with
reference to any other people on the fa< •
of the earth that I would not have IVlt
Justified In taking as an Individual in
dealing with other individuals.
I believe that we of the great civilized
nations of today have a right to feel that
long careers of achievement He before
our several countries. To each of us is
vouchsafed the honorable privilege of "lo-
in* his part, however small. In that work.
Let us strive hardily for success, even if
by so doing we risk failure, spurning
the poorer souls of small endeavor who
know neither failure nor success. Let us
hope that our own blood shall continue
In the land, that our children and chil-
dren's children to endless generations
shall arise to take our places and pla> a
mighty and dominant part In the world.
But whether this be denied or granted by
the years we shall not see. let at least
the satisfaction be ours that we have
carried onward the lighted torch In «>ur
own day and generation. If we do this,
then, as our eyes close, and we go out
into the darkness, and other hands grasp
the torch, at least we can say that our
part has been borne well and valiantly.

Arms and Legs.
According to the result of msny
measurements made at the An-
thropological laboratory In London,
thu right arm In human beings is, In
a majority of cases, longer than the
left arm, while, on the contrary, tho
left leg Is longer than the right leg.
Sometimes, however, the relative pro-
portions are exactly reversed, but
very seldom does perfect equality
exist between the two sides. The ten-
dency of the right arm to exceed I ho
left arm In strength Is somewhat
greater In men than lu women, while
equality of strength In the two artug
occurs almost twice ns frequently
with women as with men.

An English farmer, taking his little
son with him, was going to tho
polling station to give his vote. On
the way he met a friend on the same
errand, and the two entered into con-
versation. After an excited and heat-
ed argument about the budget they
came to blows. The poor lad was

father was getting the worst of it,
suddenly called out to him:
