i Walter ID. Dabney, late Solicito,
for the Department of State at Wash,
ington, now Professor of Law in the
University of Virginia. in an an ar
ticle on the Monroe doctrine, says;
| "The extent of terrinry does rot
affect the principle involved, though
it may be an important consideration
in determining whether our Govern
nent should insist on its application
in this particular instance. But if a
comparatively trivial aggression by
foreign powers upon a weak South
American republic should appear
likely to result in similar OF further
aggressions by the same or other
powers, wisdom should suggest that
the doctrine be either promptly asa
serted or definitely abandoned by the
United States. That the cond.t ms
under which the doctrine was an.
nounced was very different from these
which now exist cannot be denied
"7he divine right of Kings and
absolute royal or imperial power,
whatever the theory may be, are
practically recognized in but one of
the great European powers of today.
Englishmen, whether in the mother
country or in her colonies, scout the
idea that their institutions are less
free than ours, and it is highly improb.
able that the principles of the Holy
Alliance will ever again be seriously
asserted, even on the continent of
Europe. They certainly can never
endanger the free Institutions of the
United States.
"It should in fairness also be said,
in reference to the pending Anglo
Venezuelan controversy, that the COLI
ony of British Guiana would probably
not suffer by a comparison ofits pol
itical institutions with those of Ven
ezuela as regards the practical pro-
lection afforded by them respectively
to individual liberty. Perhaps Lord
Salisbury has reference to consider
ations of this sort when he says that
the Monroe doctrine is generally in
applicable to the state of things in
I..n;.,h- ,".S;,~ "p Viiv PrS1. = .l...
Upon this suggestion the President,
without, as he says, attempting marks,
and he undoubtedly voices the senti-
ments of the people of the United
States, that the doctrine was intend
ed to apply to every stage of ournat-
ional life, and cannot become obsolet
while our Republic endurcs.
''It may be remarked, too. that
commercial as we'll as political con-
siderations lie at the basis of the Mon
roe doctrine, and if the latter have
diminished in Importance the former
has increased since the doctrine was
first announced. If Englrnd is rea
ly claiming territory which of right
is not hers, but Venezuelns, the case
certainly falls within the purview of
the Monroe doctrine, and, since Eng
land refuses to submit the whole con-
troversy to arbitration. the President
proposes the only feasible mode of
determining what the action of this
Government in the case should be -
namely, an investigation ofthe merits
of the question by commissioners Of

The PopularI.y ID Cnttard.


Very few of those who habitually
eat at the cheap restaurants in the
vicinity of the city hall can have fail
ed tonotice the large amounts of Gus
tard pies and custard buildings which
are consumed by men, and mostly
middle aged men at that. Custard
in one of Its various forms and a glass
Of milk constitute a very large part
of the luncheons that are eaten.
When the manager of one Of these
eating houses was asked for an ex-
PLANTATION of the phenomena recently,
he said;
I'VE undoubtedly sell O big lot Of
custard, especially in pies. Most men
seem to like it, and there is a heavy
demand for it in summer. But there
is another reason for its popularity.
1t is quick lunch. A-man can eat
custard about as fast as he can drink
a glass Of water, and with many of
our customers that appears to be
the thing desired. They want some
thing that will not keep them long,
and eustard being pleasant enough ia
itself Is hit upon. We have III reg
ular custard customers, and l tell you
they can eat their favorite dish In
record time. It's wonderful even to
me, and 1 sec a good many varieties

Every woman enjoys the sense Of
daintincss which a spotless clean white
petticoat gives. But not every woman
can afford this luxury. The laundry bill
which surely stares her In the face is
appalling. Less expensive and almost as
dainty are the new -undergarments Of
linen dimity. They are ecru in color
and made with a deep rufae tastefully
embroidered in dark shades Of silk.
Skirts of black mohair or MORGAN
wear much better than the p~etticoats Of
silk. They have much the same effect
when made with silk rufles. Don't
make the rufies Of old silk which you
may have in the house, left over from a
gown which has seen better days. There
is no economy in it. The rufilos will be-
como worn before you have had the skirt
a week. It pays to buy good silk for
this purpose.
