TIU'CKLK TO KUKOl'E REPUBLICANS HAVE ABANDONED MONROE DOCTRINE. New Policy of "Policing the World" In It Place 8iter Republics Given Over to the Tender Mercies of the Foreign Powers. Ho much Ih b-lng written about the MnnriM- doctrine and lt.n abandonment ly our K public an administration, un til tlie Kuroiwan itowera have colb-cted IhHr debtn of Venezuela arid the other South Airi"rhan republics, that It Is Important that the p-pU- of the I'nit ed Stati-H rciiK mbcr just what I'r-ai-d at Monrof raid when h' made t hat dec laratiou to the world and lAs coun try men. It DniFt flri-t be remembered that a coalition of kiiiiic of the old world powers had been formed to restrict the march of doinoci acy, and the Mon roe doctrine was a declaration that, for our own safety, we would not per mlt any extension of Kuropean control on thin continent. President Monro- made this plain In thene words: "W owe it to candor and to the amicable relations existing between the United States ami the allied pow ers to dec lare that we should consider any attempt on their part to EXTEND THKIU SYSTEM TO ANY TAUT OK THIS HKMISI'HKIIK AS DANflKH- oirs to ovn vkack and safety. With the existing colonies ot depen dencies of any European power we have not Interfered, and shall not in terfere; hut with the governments which have declared their independ ency and maintained it. and whose In dependence we have on great consid eration and just principles acknowl edged, we could not view AN INTER POSITION FOR OPPRESSING THEM OR CONTROLLING IN ANY OTHER MANNER THEIR DESTINY HY ANY EUROPEAN POWER IN ANY OTH ER EIGHT THAN AS A MANIFESTA TION OF AN UNFRIENDLY DISPO SITION TOWARD THE UNITED STATES." This doctrine was enlarged by John in!ncy Adams when he said that "the American continents should no longer he subjects for any new European set tlement." and was treni;t luned by Thomas Jefferson, who said. "We will oppose with all our means the forcitde interposition of any othe. power, as auxiliary, stipendiary or under any .ther form or pretext, and most espe cially their transfer to any iowers by conquest, concession or acquisition in any other way." Those were the bold words of the fathers of the republic, anil the same doctrine has been upheld by the states men of all parties until President Roosevelt made a new interpretation In his la.U message to Congress. In which he paid: "No independent na tion in America need have the slight est fear of aggression from the Unit ed States. It behooves each one to maintain order within Its own lorders and to discharge its Just obligations to foreigners. When this is done, they can rest assured that, be they strong or weak, they have nothing to' dread from outside interference. More and more the Increasing interdependence and complexity of international politi cal and economic relations render It Incumbent on all civilized and orderly powers to Insist on the proper policing of the world." This is a modification of the Mon roe doctrine and a most extraordinary one. for not only does it give European countries permission to collect their debts, by force if necessary, but it also advances a new doctrine for the "PO LICING OF THE WORLD" by the civilized and orderly powers. That amendment was evidently ex pected by Germany and England, for as long ago as last June there are strong indications that a secret under standing had been arrived at between those countries and the United States. The coercion cf Venezuela was then decided upon, but was to be delayed until the effect of ?fce President's mes sage to Congress had been observed. It did not take long for the allied powers to act upon finding that no expressed opposition had developed to the "policing of the world." In an Interview President Roosevelt is stated to have said that those who wish to fully understand his position en this question "must read between the lines of his first message." Are we to understand from this that an entangling alliance has been entered into with Germany and Eng land and perhaps other "civilized and orderly powers." to aid them In col lecting their debts of the semi-civilized and disorderly countries, where ever they may be? What if this question is considered by The Hague Court, when it tries Venezuela for her shortcomings, and the arbitrators decide that the "po licing of that state is necessary and appoints Germany cr England or both as high-sheriff to civilize her and col lect what is due and charge a good round sum fcr the expense of collec tion? Where will the Monroe doctrine be then? Will President Roosevelt be in a position to maintain it. with the sheriff in possession of Venezuela for an unlimited time, until the debts and expenses are paid. Venezuela cannot pay what he owes. The only settle ment possible is for her to issue bonds at a large discount and a ruinous ra of interest. That would be a mortgage 1 on her land and her people, principally to England and Germany. If she de faulted in the interest or otherwise be came disorderly, which an uprising of her people against some great injus tice would be construed by the powers to be, her creditors would claim the right to occupy and administer her affairs until the debt was extinguished. Like England's occupation of Egypt, this would be perpetual. All the South American republics may be claimed to be disorderly, and all owe large sums to Europe, and there is no doubt the same coercion will be used on them and with a like result eventually permanent occupa tion. There is but one escape for all of them and that is the refusal of the people of the United States to endorse "Ue policing of the world" and by the Oe.'eat of the president and party who have undertaken to carry it out. h a Jacksonian Democrat In the I WMtr Hoimp ami a declaration by him that th lonr' (lfctrln will t? main tained at all haaidx. the powerit of Kurgjx vintild not vrnfnri- to molest or make afraid ;nr tdfder republics.

As it rule the present heads of the government departments and bureaus recognize the trusts as tte real power behind the Republican throne and understand wiiat is required of them if they wish to hold on to their jobs. In Khort. they serve the trusts. Some serve in their official capacity only, others curry favor anl promotions by serving with all their faculties at all times. These latter are the wise ones, &a is evident from the kind of men ap pointed Ut tiie commissions, bureaus, etc. Treasurer KUis II. Roberts was un doubtedly right when he told the con vention of the American Association for the Advancement of Science that: "With all other things equal. large additions to the currency carry up the prices of commodities measured by it." lie then said that "notable advances have taken place- in the prices of articles of necessity during the past five years." His estimate of the in creased cot of living as "." to an per cnt is undoubtedly too low. however. Treasurer Roberts would have u.3 infer that these increased prices and higher cost of living are due entirely t the additions to the currency of the country. The increase in gold alone in this country, he said, had overaged $I07.7S.'.;3 a year since Jan. 1, 1SH8. He said nothing a boat the marvelous growth of trusts, since tie passage of the Dingley act in 18'J7. and the probability, amounting almost to a certainty, that most of the advanco in prices is tine to the monopoly of our markets by these protected trusts. In fact, most of the notable advances can be traced to some trust formed since 1 SU7 or to natnral causes, such as xor crops abroad or poor crops at home. Some farm products are sell ing for less now than in 18'.7 in spite of the great scarcity abroad. Thns, .Mr. Roberts mentions wheat as being lower now than in 1897. That tlie trusts are the real culprits in putting up prices is evident from a consideration of foreign prices. France. Kngland and Germany have increased tneir gold holdings since 1898 almost as much as has this country. Yet the cost of living in those countries has increased only alout one-third as much as here and, in fact, has probably declined consid etably during the last two years, in spite of poor crops there and while it was rapidly rising in our own trust ridden country. Sauerbeck's "index- tables show that prices in England declined 5 per cent in 1901 and were- only 16 per cent higher than in 1896. Prices there probably declined further in 1902. although most meat and other priMlucts imported from the United States were higher. It is up to Treasurer Roberts to tell us why, with greatly increased currency, both here and abroad, prices have not risen almost as much there as here. "With all other things equal." he said. Will he please tell us what other things, that might affect prices, were as unequal in this period as the growth of trusts here and abroad? No. he will not. He prefers to play the sycophant and to apologize for the trusts. He says: "Great lorporations cannot throt tle competition; they arouse it on a larger scale. The giants among them' promise moderate prices with a view to steady profit." Here is trust truckling for you. He well knows that great trusts do throt tle competition and charge immoder ate prices. He knows what the beef and coal trusts did in 1902, for he must have read the reports of the Washington tCity) committees that investigated these trusts. He must know that the railroad and mining companies in control of the anthracite mines have stopped competition almost absolutely, and are charging prices limited only by the competition from other products and by the fear of the wrath of an outraged people. He is. perhaps, no worse than most others above and below him in the government employ. All recognize and serve their real masters, the t: usts that contributed the funds, that carried the elections, that put the Republican administration in pow er. They will ever remain faithful to their trusts and will always be ready, at command, to fool the people by throwlng statistical dust in their eyes or by injecting official sophistry into their heads, whenever the trusts think there is serious danger of trouble to their monopolies.

It was recently in a well-known club room and one of those rare occasions 4 oV conviviality In which the best of 1 men like to indulge. The party num- bered a dozen, all prominent locally, and some whose fame Is more than local. A good piit prevailed, because none but the best of spirits had been flowing, and the spirit manifested It self in a brilliancy of speec h that bub bled from every one present to euch an extent that an ir.ipromptu toast master was chosen to keep it In curb by having eac h speak in turn. So up rose Mr. Toastmaster, and, rastinjr his eye about the board, let it rest upon the iiian the fountain of whose elequence was first to be let loose. "Gentlemen." said the tnastmaster, "as becomes the occasion I will intro duce the wittiest man first, Mr" (pause). "Gentlemen, I take pleasure in intro ducing to you one whose name is a household word in Buffalo" (pause and embarrassment). "Gentlemen, it affords me great pleasure to introduce a man whose name stands for civic pride and all that is best in this community" (pause and embarrassment). "Gentlemen, the man I am about to call upon first Is known to me for the past twenty years, and to some of you perhaps longer. I will not dwell upon his qualities, his talent. They have made him famous. You all know to whom I refer. The man whose name rushes to all our lips" (a long pause). "I refer .o the third gentleman to my right," and as the toastmaster sat down amid an uproar he said to his neighbor, "I'll be hanged but his name wouldn't come." Buffalo Evening Times. FOIBLES OF GREAT MEN. Nearly All Had Superstitions of Some Sort or Other. Nearly all gTeat mea have had su perstitions of some sort or other. Na poleon with his star, Bismarck with his Great Dane, Franklin with his lucky stone in this manner the list might be continued on down to to-day. Dr. John's superstition was the touching of ail the iron posts he passed on the streets. Ho believed that to fail to touch a single post would give him bad luck, and, on dis covering such a failure, he would turn back, no matter what his hurry, and make good his omission. Napoleon believed that a certain red and fiery star governed his destiny. When his star was brilliant and large Napoleon pushed forward his enter prises resolutely, confident of success. When it waned and paled Napoleon de spaired. Gen. Grant was pursued all his life by dreams of crockery. These dreams brought him good luck. In his letters to his wife they are mentioned fre quently. Benjamin Franklin carried a round, white stone. He would undertake no important business if this object was not in his pocket. He believed as im plicitly in lis occult power as the heathen believes in the wood and stone to which, in his blindness, he bows down. The poet Tennyson had great re spect for the power of the number thirteen. He blamed the failure of his last poetical drama to the fact that, on the night of Its presentation, he made one, for the first time In his life of a party of thirteen at dinner. Won Him His Liberty. Congressman Ruppert of New York tells of a constituent of his who is never known to work. Ho is a most accomplished and dignified "panhan dler," and for many years has man aged to wheedle a fairly comfortable livelihood out of his good-natured and less impecunious acquaintances. Not long ago he allowed Bacchus to get the better of him one evening, the re sult being his arrest. Next morning the judge asked him his occupation. "Must I tell?" said the prisoner. "You must," was the magistrate's reply. This was rather a poser, but the pris oner knew he must classify himself in some way or stand the chance of be ing sent to jail as a vagrant. "Your honor," he finally said, "I am a trim mer of Christmas trees. I work the day before Christmas every year." The original idea von him his liberty Nothin Doin'r Nothin Is comin' and nothin' in view, Nothin in pocket and nothin to do. Nothin' to kick for and nothin' to kick, Nothin to love and nothin to lick. Nothin to hear and nothin' to see, Nothin' to want and nothin' to be; Nothin' to think of, of nothin' to fret, Nothin to ask for, nothin' to get.

Hart in Newark News. Lovers for Thirty Years. A wedding was celebrated at a Leeds Wesleyan chapel on a recent Saturday, to which a pathetic interest attached. The groom was fifty-five and the bride a year younger. They had been court ing continuously for over thirty years, but the bridegroom had a sick mother and the bride had also invalid rela tives whom she could not leave, eg that the happy event had to be post poned time after time. An enthusias tic crowd of friends assembled to see the faithful lovers united, and they left the chapel amid a shower of con fetti and a salvo of ches. Treasures of the Sea. The sea around the shores of Greece Is full of treasures. A little time ago the divers were bringing up the sta tues lost when the ship which was taking them to Rome was wrecked over two thousand years ago. Now the relics of the battle of Navarino, which was fought in 1S27, are being fished up, and a number of old bronze cannon, swords, guns and pistols have been recovered from the wrecks of 'he Turkish and Egyptian ships. A Recipe for Becoming Popular. In the gpme of social success you bold a trump card if you are Just ahead of other people in the latest pop ular fad. Then, too, be able to do something and to do it well. A hostess likes a girl who can help her out in entertain ing guests. But If you want to climb, make so ciety's fads your own. A girl got into one of the best sets in the city, though the had stood mournfully without the gates for a long time, by making her solf expert in "bridge" when it first started. She saw at once the possi bilities of the game, mastered it thor oughly, and when fashionables went crazy over it she was welcomed every where enthusiastically as an expert and authority. Differences in social positions were thus bridged, as it were, by this clever girl, and all her frit nds are yet wondering how she managed to get Into Mrs. Tiptop's set. Another girl who was a local fail urn at home became quits a sensation in London and a reigning favorite as well by the enchanting way in which she sung "coon songs" when the vogue was in- its infancy. So when a fad comes along scan it carefully to see 12 it is likely to take. If you are convinced it will, get into the game at once. It will help you up the social ladder to be au fait in such matters. MADE HIM MAD. While on an automobile trip State Senator James K. Flood of Hart, Mich., met a mounted Indian whose horse appeared much frightened at the ma chine. The senator called out: "Joe, is your horse afraid?" Naw; heap big fool. He only mad, te t'ink you take his job.!" A Struggle for Life. Eagle River, Mo., Jan. 19th. Maggie E. Decker, a hard-working woman 49 years of age, whose home is here, has Just gone through a thrilling battle for her life. Many another would have lain down and died, for ior twelve long years she has suffered the most awful pains. She h.d Kidney Trouble and Rheu matism, combined with a very dis tressing stomach trouble. At last she got so bad that she could not sleep, for she ached all over, and was so lame that she could scarcely walk. She spent over a hundred dollars in different medicines, but only to be dis appointed, for everything failed to help her. At last, however, just when she was beginning to despair of ever finding a remedy, she heard of Dodd's Kidney Pills and bought six boxes. She says: "Now I can eat well, sleep well, and am feeling splendid. God bless Dodd's Kidney Pills, for they saved my life. My troubles were many, but Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me completely. But for them I surely would have died." Admittedly there is no standard of greatness, hence the difficulty of decid ing who are the truly great. NO MORE TICKET SCALPING IN CHICAGO. Illinois comes into line with New York end Pennsylvania in vigorous action against the ticket scalping thieves and forgers, three having boen sentenced on Saturday, In Chi cago, after a fortnight's trial, one of whom, profiting by his experience, pleaded guilty to a second indictment, while the trial of the others will doubtless proceed to another convic tion. Chicago has long been a favor ite field for ticket speculation, and a' blow against the nefarious practice could nowhere have been landed more effectively. The persistent and unit ed efforts of the leading railroads of the country to exterminate the busi ness, which is simply one of petty lar ceny, robbing the poor and the wag earners, are bringing most satisfac tory results.
