Now that you know just what th
Monroe doctrine is, my patrioti,
reader, have the children get out thei
school Biographies for you are prob
ably as ignorant as the patriotic poll
ticians about the matter-and show
you the map of North America. Dc
you see that great tract Of country
painted red which lies just north of the
| United States and is labeled "BritisE
American" You observe it occupies
at least as much Of this continent al
does the United States. Well, thai
great, hig piece of North America ID
under British rule and has been so ever
since away back before the battle OF
Bunker Hill. And it is right up against
US; 80 close that our bank cashiers can
step across the line and put their de.
dsnt thumbs to their fat noses and
wriggle their fat, be-ringed fingers at
the helpless American policeman ten
feet away. A railroad that goes to
New York runs right across the line to
Canada. People from New York or
Michigan can 60 over there on BIZ
cycles to spend Sunday afternoon and
get back to an early supper and the
Christian EndesVor meeting held be-
fore church time. That same British
America was right there, just where 1t
is now, when President Monroe so SOL
emnly declared that it would be 'dsn.
gerous to our peace and safety" to
allow any European country to get a
foothold anywhere on this hemisphere
Does 1t not-honestly, now, does it not
look very much as If Mr.. Monroe
was making a fool of himselfP We
lose no sleep because British America
is dangerous" to us. DO WeP Yet
it is ''jinin' farms" with us. Now look
on the map again and see what another
great big piece of North America is
occupied by Mexico. Why does not
Mexico get excited over British en-
croschment upon Venezuels's gold
minesP Why should we, living in
the middle one-third Of the continent,
set up for exclusive guardian and all
around boss of all this side of the earth ?
Now get the children to show you
the map Of the Western Hemisphere.
Below Mexico comes Central America,
and then another large continent
South America. In the northern part
there in green is Venezuela, and ad-
joining that is a red country-Br British,
Dutch aud French Guiana. 1t is sew
ersl miles from Washington, you see.
Well, it is all right for England to have
nearly half this continent and be our
next-dool neighbor, so to speak; but
when England attempts to get control
of few acres more than she has now
away down there on another continent,
we say we won't stand it; that getting
up so close to us like that is "dsnger-
Gus to our peace and safety" and we
are going to spend 100000 bushels of
l5.cent corn to send some gentlemen
down there to see about it, while, in
the meantime, we rig up our navy, and
get the people to let us build up big
army which, If we should happen to
have no war with England, viii be

case. The people are becoming dan

Worldp The people must be given
something else to think about. Some

Don't Swear.

WetzeI Democrat.
There is not law upon our statute
books more completely dead letter,
than the law against profanity. Yet
there is no offense committed by men,
which has more degrading effect up
on public morals than loud profanity
upon the public streets. We know
that some great men and some good
men upon occasions of great excite
ment, have INDUCED in explosives not
agreeable to ears polite. But no real
ly good men ever offend the ears OF
the public by loud and vulgar oaths.
Some very rude and reckless men often
do this, aud some very foolish ones
imagine that profanity will pass for
wit and humor. But profane swear
ing is an of1ense against the laws
which ought to be punished. We
send men to the penitentiary for break
ing into barns and stealing corn for
food, when their families are starving,
because the law demands it. We
should enforce the law against crime
which is far worse than this, if an
injury to the rising generation counts
for anything at all. If the law is &c
be respected let it be enforced. 1t is
an offense to profanely curse, swear,
and get drunk, and these things are
paired in the statute because they
usually go together.
