A MARKED

The difference between Democratic
and Republican Legislatures in dealing
with an evil is illustrated in the legisla-
ton of both regarding the delinquency
or sharp practices of township trustees
in holding considerable sums of unex-
pended school moneys in their hands at
the close of the school year. There
could be no doubt about the evil, SO that
there should have been no question
about the remedy.
Here is the remedy of the Democratic
Legislature: The amount of such unex-
pended money, if over 500, must be re-
turned to the treasury at the close of
the school year If the State tuition
money unexpended which will appear
by the trustees books in excess of 500
is not returned to the State treasury,
then the Attorney-general shall proceed
to collect it of the township trustees or
other school officers and receive IL per
cent. for the collecting. The late AT
torney-general Smith found a large sum
of such none u~nexpended, and re-
ceived as fees. in two years, something
like $780, 900 or $35, 5000. That is the Demo-
cratic method. which must have been
an excellent one for the late Attorney
general.
The Republican Legislature adopted a
different method for the correction Of
the evil. 1t is that the State Superin-
tendent of Public instruction shall be
officially informed of the amount of I'M
expended school moneys in the hands
of the trustee at the close of the school
year. If it shall appear that any trus-
tee shall not have expended for tuition
in the preceding year as much money
as the State has paid him. then the diff
ference between the amount he has re-
ceived and expended will be deducted
and returned to the State treasury and
the residue paid over to that official.
By the Republican method no fee is
paid any official. but If the trustee does
not exDend the school money he gets
from the State in any one year the peo-
pie whom he represents.win be deprived
during the next year OF an amount of
h State tuition equal to the sum I'M
expended the previous year. This
method removes from the trustee all
temptation to avoid the expenditure of
current State tuition funds that he may
have the use of the money.
No one of the sins of the Democratic
officials in Indiana has caused more in
dignation among the people than the
scheme of the last Democratic Legisla-
ture which made it possible for Green
Smith to raid the school fund.-. And it
may be added that nc remedy is more
adequate than hat devised by the Re
publican Legislature.

President. In 1926 Mr.. Adams sent a
special message to Congress relative to
a proposed congress Of American states
to form alliances against and prevent
the establishment of any future Euro
pean colony in any of them. In this
message Mr.. Adams said:
An agreement between all the parties
represented at the meeting that each will
guard, by its own means, against the es-
Establishment of any future European coli
ony within it's own borders, may be adj
visable.. This vas, more than two years
since, announced by my predecessor to the
world as a principle resulting from the
tinents. 1T may be SO developed to the
new southern nations, that they may feel
1t as an essential ~appendage to their ia
dependence.
This guarded Interpretation of the
Monroe doctrine gives no color to the
idea that the United States was bound
to intervene for the protec ton of other
states or to go to wal for the integrity of
any territory but her own. According
to this contemporaneous Interpretation
of the doctrine, each South American
state, like the United States, was to use
its own means within it's own borders
to prevent European intrusion.
So much for the sentimental side of
the doctrine. The business side is quite
a different thing. If it is true, as it
certainly is, that the United States is in
no wise bound to intervene for the pro-
lection Of any and every South Ameri-
can state against European invasion or
colonization, it is equally true that it
should promptly resent any establish
ment or extension of European power
on this continent that a Ameri-
can interests. For example. the United
States could not tolerate the establish
ment of any European power in the
n~eighboring republic of Mexico nor in
any of the South American states where
it would dominate or menace the Mica
rGgua canal or threaten any other
American interest. 1t would be the
height of folly for the United States to
go to wal to protect Patagonia from
European invasion, and it would be sui
cidal to permit any European power to
effect such an establishment in Nicara-
qua as would imperil American inter-
ests. The sentimental side of the Mon
roe doctrine has been greatly over
worked. The business side should never
be lost sight OF.

GREAT BRITAIN AND NICARAGUA.

A London cablegram confirms the
statement that Great Britain has de-
manded from Nicaragua $75,0 900. as in
demnity for the expulsion of the British
consular agent from Bluefields, and also
the appointment of a commission to ad-
judicate the damages done to the per-
sons and property. of British subjects
during the turbulent proceedings in
Bluefields last year.
Before Americans proceed to get fight
ing mad over the evident purpose of
Great Britain to protect British inter-
ests, they would do well to remember
that the present administration at
Washington has done nothing to protect
American interests in Nicaragua. On
the same day hat the President of
Nicaragua withdrew the exequatur of
the British consul, thereby practically
dismissing him, he did the same thing
by the United States consul, and when
Mr.. Hatch, the British vice consul, was
arrested and imprisoned, three Ameri-
can citizens were also arrested and put
in the same Jail. American residents
of Bluef1elds suffered more in their per-
sons and property than the British resi-
dents did. and the Americans were final
ly obliged to appeal to a British war
vessel for protection and to seek refuge
under the British flag. If the present
administration has ever demanded in
demnity or r~eparation from Nicaragua
for the arrest of American citizens and
insults to the flag the fact has not be-
come known.
There can be no question that Great
Britain has a valid claim against Mica
ragua for PREPARATION n damages.
Whether her claim is exorbitant or is
being pressed too peremptorily does not
seem to be a question for outside inter-
ference. Some of the American citizens
who were imprisoned in Nicaragua, or
who were forced to leave the country
after their business was broken up,
would nave been very glad if this gov
had shown similar energy in
protecting American interests. If Great
Britain should attempt to seize Nicara-
guam territory that would raise another
question, but that she has a just claim
for the insult to her flag and injury to
her citizens is beyond doubt.

Ex-Governor Warmoth. of Louisiana,
Il a recent interview gives a vivid pic
ture Of the calamity which the Demo-
cratic tariff policy has brought to that
State. The price of sugar cane has
fallen one-half, m the wage of all
labor, whether of the negro on the plan
tation or the mechani employed Id the
sugar industry, have fallen from 25 to 80
per cent. The whites hold the Demo-
cratic party responsible. and are in re-
volt against that party. Mr.. Warmoth
predicts that the electoral vote of
Louisiana will be given to the Republic

be guarded against. which will insure
