Cares for Her Own

Just at present there is much
feeling toward the action of Great
Britain in Venezuela, and no little
talk is made of the necessity for
enforcement of the Monroe doctrine
by the United States. There is
no doubt that among the American
people there is strong sentiment
that to Americans belong the good
things Dame Nature has stored
away on the western continent, and
that European powers must leave
them to be garnered 10y ttiose OF
American origin and sympathies.
Those holding this doctrine in no
way condemn Great Britain for
reaching out and agsrandizing her
self ct every opportunity. In fact
they admire that grand course of
policy which has planted Briti,h
colonies in all parts of the world,
and has made brilliant careers for
Britons on all continents and in
all climes. Americans who want
to see the Monroe doctrine en-
forced admire without end the
boldness and aggression of Great
Britain in these matters. and the
superb manner in which she cares
for her own; they hold that some OF
these good things she is grasping
after for her sons should go to the
sons of other races-particularly
the good things on the American
continent.
Wherever there is promising
mining region, or a fertile valley,
or a broad forest in which fortunes
may be made by enterprise, Gf
within reaching distance of the
lions paw whether in Alsska,'
Venezuela or Honduras, Britain is
ready to reach forth and make it
British territory, on which British
subjects may thrive, and where
British subjects may thrive, and
where British merchants can enjoy
exclusive trade. The Monroe doc
trine Is simply notice that the soil
of the two Americas is forbidden
preserves to John Bull; and the
American people will compel the
present administrator to enforce
that doctrine, or they will next
year elect an administration which
will do so.-Oasis.
