THE MONROE DOCTRINE.

The report comes by way of st. Paul,
Mimi, that tine administration is about
to take action in the Anglo-venezuelan
boundary controversy, and that Sec
Rotary Olney has prepared letters to
Ambassador Bayard on the subject.
The report also states that Ambassa-
dor Bayard has been instructed to
notify the British government that I'M
less the whole question is submitted
to arbitration and settled within ninety
days, this government will act upon
it's own view OF the dispute and enforce
the Monroe doctrine.
1t is not at all probable that this
report is true. This government is
not going to send an ultimatum as

of war This country is too large and
powerful and the American people have
too much good sense to adopt any such
bullying course. The American people
will never have an administration at
Washington, whether it he Democratic
or Republican, or anything else, that

ever they may be threatened. And if
the government does not always act
so promptly as partisan papers would
have it, it should be remembered that
the government and not the papers are
responsible to the people.
The Venezuelan question having been
the occasion of invoking, by the press,
the Monroe doctrine, we give below
that doctrine as enunciated by Presi-
dent Monroe in his message of Deem
Der 2, 1923:
Paragraph AT the proposal of the
Russian Imperial government, made
through the minister of the Emperor
residing here, a. full power and dnstruc-
lions have been transmitted to the
minister of THE United States at St
Petersburg, to arrange, by amicable
negotiation, the respective rights and
interests of the two nations on the
northwest coast of this continent A
similar proposal has been made by
his Imperial Majesty to THE government
of Great Britain, which has likewise
been acceded ITO. In the dis

PUT THE RIGHT MEN IN OFFICE.

We learn from a number of sources
chat Republican campaigners are
alarmed at The Herald's declaration
that the local issue is largely as to
MEN. They assert that it is TO be a
campaign Of 'principle" What they
mean by that IS, Republicans should
vote for every peprson on the Re
publican ticket from principe" To
quote the old saying, TT is the duty of
Republicans to vote for a yellow dog
if his name is on the party ticket"
We did not expect chat many OF the
people Of Utah, who have been strug-
Cling so long for the full liberty of
citizens. wodld bind themselves so
strongly with the chains of party sub
servienee that they would consider
themselves bound to support men for
office who are grossly unfit, simply be-
cauSe by wireworlzing and the arts
assd tricks of political chicanery they
nave been foisted upon the ticket
thrust into the hands of the voters of
their party.
We say it is the duty of the people
who are now engaging In the i'm
portant work Of founding the new
state. to put such men in office as can
be depended upon to study the well
fare of the whole community and not
the interests Of any class or their
own benefit and emolument The off,
GERS and legislators of the new state
viii have most important duties to
perform, and it viii be a shame and
disgrace to the citizens if they put
men in places for which they are not
adapted, simply to further the inter
ests OF a political party or its leaders
and to crafty the ambitions Of as
pirants for power
The Democratic party is ready to
meet the issue of principles. 1t is
also ready 10 meet the issue of MEN.
1t has the undying and understandable
principles which are the very founda-
ton Of our national system. 1t is
their exposition, defender and perpetu-
ator. It has also a ticket to present
to the people which they are asked to
examine and compare with the ticket
Of the Republican party and then
make their own choice
We say that as when the wicked
rule the people mourn" it is the duty
Of the people. for their own liberties
and the preservation. of their Cod
given rights. to seek diligently for
honest men and wise men to conduer
their public affairs, and that only such
men they should observe to uphold
for whatsoever is more or less than
this eometh ot evil"
No man should be such a slave 70
party as 10 vote for men whom he
knows ought not to be entrusted wifi,
power, nor to vote against men who
| are eminently qualified for such no
sitions, whom he would vote for ex-
cept for that slavery to party which
some Republicans are endeavoninp 10
enforce. Citizens Of Utah, do not he
oeguiled by the cunning craftiness of
politicians who lie in wait to de-
oeive Put only TIE right men in the
right place; that will be really voting

THE FACTS REMAIN.

The last kick of our "brayed" and
battered morning contemporary at the
silver dollar, is truly characteristic of
that sort of animal which is known to
be as stubborn as it is dense. "The
omnipotence of the silver dollar has
never been advanced either by The
Herald or anybody else, except in the
figurative sense when referring to the
effect which the almighty dollar" has
upon some people who need not now
be mentioned
The facts remain that the standard
silver dollar of the United States is
money in it's own right and not, like
a greenback, merely promise to pay
a dollar; that there is no law or regu-
lation requiring it's redemption by the
government, either in gold or anything
else; that it is receivable for customs
by the government and for all other
official dues and demands.
All of that has been repeatedly de-
MED by our egotistical and grabbed
contemporary, which has exhibited
such amazing ignorance on a subject
of which it pretends to be the sole
genuine expositor as to astonish its
closest friends. The official statement
of the Treasury department, which
supports every contention on this mat
ter made by The Herald. ought to be
the end of controversy and sufficient
even for a kicking mule.

up in an unauthorized way during his
absence from Washington, and that
he was surprised that what had been
d matter Of casual consideration had
received publication. Asked if the
board of directors would have author
ity to permit the entrance of women
without first consulting the Pope,
Bishop Keane replied he was very GER
tain that the board would not as
sumo the responsibility of authorizing
such a decided innovation without
first obtaining the sanction of the
Holy Father"
The Rector himself favors the adj
mission of women. He also says there
will be no question raised as to the
religious belief of students, nor will
there be any color line drawn. All of
which is as it should be and presages
success for the university.

"MlyGLrNG CHURCH AND STATE"

The morning church organ gives an
editorial dissertation on the policy and
discipline of the Church Of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints, and apparently
expects all good members OF that body
to obey the Instructions which it an
nounces as coming from the heads of
that Church. 1t does not, in terms,
proclaim itself as the official dispenser
OF Mormon counsel and command
ments, but this being Conference time,
it takes pains to make prominent what
it pleases to assume is an official pro-
nunciamento that all good Mormons
must observe.
The purpose in view is apparent
to those who can read between the
lines, and who know of the arrange
ment between the Tribune people and
an aspirant for the United States Sen
atorship. 1t is done to break down the
force of the nomination of Moses
Thatcher to that position, which might
make the way clear for the Tribune's
nominees. 1t will not work.
Moses Thatcher is just as eligible for
an office in the gift of the people as
any of his predecessors who were
prominent Elders in the same Church
as that to which he belongs. Unable
to impress a solitary soul with the in
famous charge against him, that he
was permitting his name to be used
as a candidate when he did not intend
to stand and could not serve in that
position, the Tribune now tries to play
the religious role, and will simply make
as fiat failure as it did in attempting
to befoul the gentleman whom it fears
as a political opponent
AS to its reference to an eminent
Catholic ecclesiast, we have to say that
the position occupied by him has no
parallel to that of Hon. Moses Thatch-
er. If the editor of the morning organ
cannot distinguish the essential differ
ence, it is evidence of his unftness
for the position he has assumed as ex-
FOUNDER of Mormon church tenets and
regulations.
And those who see behind the move
ment to head off Moses Thatcher a
cunning scheme to prevent the nomi-
nation of another gentleman, holding
equal if not higher authority in the
Church with him, despite the whole
contemplate business and the authors
of it, and assure them that they will
not succeed in the miserable mixture
of church and state" which is mere
~ a mess of their own connection.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1, the wages of
the 10000 employees of the H. C. Frick
Coke company and the Mcclure Coke
company, of Connellsville, Pa, were
raised 6 per cent. This advance has
been made in recognition of the work
mems consideration for their employ
ers in ignoring the recent attempts of
strike agitators to cause a Suspension
of work. The workmen showed good
sense in not striking and their employ
ers have shown good sense in advanc-
ing their wages.

BOOK OF MORMON MANuscR1pr.

The most valuable manuscript which the
limits of the United States, the Federal
constitution and the declaration of indie
pendence alone excepted, has lately come
into the possession of George w.
Schweich, of Richmond, Ray county this
state. The relic in question, which is
unique as well as historical, is nothing
more nor less than the manuscript of the
original Book of Mormon, just as it was
of the Nephltes by Joseph Smith and his
assistants. If you have. copy of the
Book of Mormon to refer to, you will
find that the back of the title page bears
a notice to the world in the shape of a
Testimony" by the three witnesses to
the divine authenticity of the book One
of the three witnesses who saw the an
gel which God sent from heaven with
the plates and engraving, and who heard
the voice Of God commanding tha they
bear record of the same, was David
Whitmer. who died at Richmond, Janu-
airy %. 1888. David Whitmer had long
been the sole owner of the manuscript
and upon his death it descended by right
of he;rship to d. j. Whitmer, a son. Not
long since d. j. Whitmer was smo thered
to death in a sand pit near Richmond,
and George w. Schweich, a nephew
grandson of David Whitmer, one of the
founders of the Mormon, church,, became
sole owner of the valuable document. In
order that readers may have an idea
of the value of Mr. Schweich's treasure,
1 will say that a short time prior to
David Whitmer's death the Salt Lake
hierarchy offered 100000 in gold for it,
and it is believed that they would have
made an offer of S500,Oo0 had they thought
that there was a prospect of Mr.. Whit
mer parting with it.-St. Louis Republic.

Perusing the evening journal
An interesting statement l saw;

This item fixed my attention

The puny, the chubby, bright fellow.
But never a baby for me.
1 sat by the freight half doing,
Reviewing the far-aWay past,
While Rover my slippers was noSing,
And Tabitha purred loud and fast;
I remembered gay Rosa and Florry,
And coniured Up May and Kate;
The beautiful Eva, sweet Laura;
How each had selected a mate
From the boys [ had played with since
/ could climb on my grandfather

O! their babies and babies! but never
Not one of them named for me.

The fet o gs to which these gave rise.
How many a priceless treasure
Was lost through neSlectlng TO prize
That which seemed Ill such easy ulS-
1t scarce were worth striving to gain;
But all that it once had existence
Brings memories laden with pain.
I had but to shake the full branches

And voiclng a valuelesS wish;
When one has finished his dining
On fowl, why banker for fish?

AS freest from sorrow and strife;
Better cold lunches, yea frozen,
Than endless hot stews with wife.
Though [ left no posterity dying,
Alive, I'd be happy and free
Strangely tonight 1 am signing,
There was never a baby for me.
All, well; 1 shall manage to trundle
Along as the seasons roll by,
To the end; then a useless old bundle
Be tossed in the corner to lie.
How / used to mock at this folly,
Resigning their freedom and ease;
But tonight am-pShawi melancholy,

Yet what will eternity be?
