Readjusting the Monroe Doctrine.
Henry Watterson, editor of the Lou
isville Courier-Journal, recently print
ed an editorial which was interpreted
as a suggestion that tho United States
abandon the Monroe doctrine. The
Washington correspondent of tho
Brooklyn Eagle interviewed a numbor
of democrats on tho subject with tho
folowing result:
Senator Simmons, of North Caro
lina, expressed the general opinion
of democratic members when he said
today in commenting on Mr. Watter
son's editorial:
"I have a profound respect for Mr.
Watterson's opinion, and his advice is
generally to be followed with the ut
most safety and satisfaction, but tho
Monroe doctrine is not a party declar
ation. It belongs to the government,
no matter which party is in power,
and it should bo supported absolutely.
The slightest deviation would be in
advisable, and we, as a united people,
should see to it that it is carried out
to the letter.
"I am not sure that we do not need
the Monroe doctrine now more than
before. It seems a safe one to tie to."
Representative A. S. Burleson (dem.,
Texas), member of the house commit
tee on foreign affairs, said:
"I do not believe tho Monroo doc
trine could be expressed moro clearly
today than it was by President Mon
roe. Neither do I believe that the
present situation requires any read
justment of the Monroe doctrine. I
think Mr. Watterson has a mistaken
idea of tho object o tho doctrine. It
fs not for the protection of the 'Riff
Raff Latins as he says, but for the
protection of our own government."
Representative John Sharp Will
iams (dem., Miss.), said:
"Colonel Watterson seems to think
the Monroe doctrine was based upon
some intent of the United States to
acquire South American territory.
Our reason for the promulgation of it
was to protect our own people. I
think Watterson's utterances are a
little moro jingoistic than tho jingo
Ism he denounces."
Hugh Dinsmore, of Arkansas, rank
ing democrat on the foreign affairs
coirimitteo, said:
"It is folly to talk about abolishing
the Monroe doctrine. No party will
advocate such a course; instead we
want to reassert and maintain it."
Representative W. S. Cowherd,
(dem., Mo.), said: "I am not in sym
pathy with Mr. Watterson's article.
Tho Monroe doctrine was timely
when it was promulgated and is a wis
policy yet I think it would bo a
grave misfortune to the United States
to permit Europe to apportion out
South America as it has divided up
India, Africa and China.''
Representative S. B. Cooper (dem.,
Tex.), said: "I do not concur with
Mr. Watterson's opinion. Aside from
the benefit to the United States, the
Monroo -doctrine tends to the forma
tion and protection of republican gov
ernment in South America. Inasmuch
as the republican government is the
best government for the people, and
as the Monroe doctrine tends to main
tain and establish that government in
tho South American states, it ought to
be enforced with vigor."
Representative Rico Pierce (dem.,
Tenn.), said: "I am an ardent be
liever in the Monroo doctrine and 1
disagree absolutely and completely
with tho idea expressed by Mr. Wat
terson. I. do so because I believe in
republicanism as against monarchism.
Inasmuch as the Monroo doctrine sus-,
tains republicanism na nfminof m,
principles of monarchy, I am in favor
of its provisions. I believe that tho
announcement of this doctrine by
President Monroe was to keep tho
principles of monarchism from tho
western hemisphere, and this can only
be done by keeping tho old govern
ments of Europe on the other sido of
the Atlantic. I believe this govern
ment Bhould uphold the Monroe doc
trine and let Great Britain and Ger
many understand they cannot hold
territory in tho western hemisphere. '
Representative J. M. . Robinson
(dem., Ind.), said: "The Monroo doc
trine should bo upheld in all Its vigor
and strength. The reasons for it
originally aro fortified by an un
American colonial policy that is
threatened. While we may be in a less
advantageous position to maintain It
by reason of our attitude in tho Orient
this supplies the strongest reason for
upholding it. We are drifting fast
enough and far enough away from our
traditional policies without abandon
ing our safe and well defined land
marks." Representative James M. Griggs,
chairman of the democratic congres
sional committee, said: 'I cannot givo
my indorsement to tho proposition to
abolish the Monroo doctrine."
Replying to these criticisms Mr.
Watterson disclaims any intention of
desiring a complete abandonment of
the doctrine. He says that the ques
tion is, "Shall we readjust it to mod
ern conditions and requirements?''

How Is This?
"Both reason and experience show
that thero Js but one way to maintain
parity between different forms of
money, and that is by exchanging one
for the other at the will of tho holder.
But when tho test shall come, if any
doubt exists whether the secretary of
the treasury will follow reason and
experience, a panic will bo precipi
tated as in 1893." Secretary Shaw.
As in 1893? What does that mean?
Was it the troubl: in the tieasury, the
scarcity of funds and the doubt as to
what courso the secretary would take
was that what caused the panic of
1893?
What, then, becomes of the vener
able contention, which is so often
seon in republican organs, that the
tariff of 1894, by some miraculous
force, brought on a panic a year be
fore it was born? Did Secretary
Shaw intend to rob the organs of one
of the choicest weapons in their ar
senal? Does ho not understand that
the tariff of 1894 reached back about
a year and brought on a panic which
"cost the country more than our great
war in tho early sixties?" Have we a
secretary who cares more for the
truth than for tho exigencies of his
party's organs? It would seem so;
and tho Post congratulates him for
his independence. Nevertheless, we
expect to see that exploded fiction re
paired and put on the road again in
1904. Washington Post.
The Hypocrisy of Chamberaln.
Mr, Chamberlain, in his first speech
in South Africa, praised the Boers for
their bravery, and declared that they
need not fear humiliation in theii de
feat The Boers have already kein
sadly humiliated, and they must feel
it for many years to come. Two well
regulated republics, with as good war
rant for their existence as any gov
ernment ever had, have been knocked
out; and the republic of the United
States shares in tho humiliation.
