Coyotes and Cattle.

A novel scheme for saving his cattle
from the droves Of coyotes that infest
the region has been hit upon by i
rancher Of Glen Rock, Wash. He has
placed bells on the necks of a great
number of cattle in his herds, and the
result has been to scare the coyotes
away. In the two months since he
belled his herds he has not lost q sim
gle animal, while previously his loss
averaged at least one steer q day.
Coyotes are becoming more Of pest
every season in many parts OF Wash
ington and Oregon, despite all the
efforts of the cattlemen and farmers to
eXterminate them. Thousands of dol
lars are spent every year III Waging
war on the beasts, but with little re-
suit. Poison availed for @ time, but
now the coyotes refuse to touch the
poisoned carcasses of steers strexn
about for their consumption. The only
way of killing them is by shooting
them, and this is feeble and wholly
inadequate means. Occasionally the
residents of a district combine and have
grand roundup hunt, driving the
coyotes toward the center of d circle
and slaughtering them there and this
is the only means of appreciably thin
ming them out Occa siOnally. In some re-
gions the packs Of gray wolves are as
numerous and troublesome as the coy
otes. The coyotes are particularly
adept chicken thieves, and, indeed. are
general pest around the farm yards.

PRESIDENT ADAMS VIEW.
Says the Monroe Doctrine is Not
Applicable to the Vene-
zuela Dispute.

Madison, Wis, Jan. lion invitation
of the university literary societies Presi-
dent Charles Kendall Adams gave an adj
dress last evening on the Venezuelan
question. After going over the historical
features of the boundary dispute and ad-
uniting that England had apparently TAX
en- 10000 square miles of territory arbi-
erariiy. he said, speaking of the Monroe
doctrine:
Now, when we bear in mind that this was
q declaration Of nation Of about 10000
SF people at a time when it was feared
that all the forces of an alliance consisting
OF Russia, Prussia and France would be
brought to bear upon the subjugation Of
South America, it must be seen that the
doctrine as then promulgated has only a
eeSy remote relation to such a question
as that which is now presented in South
America
1t is not claimed that Great Britain has
at any time undertaken to, interfere with
1Eae methods of the Venezuelan government
The question is simply and solely, accord
ing TO the aYOWal of both parties, determi-
nation of a boundary line. The Monroe
doctrine is probably no part Of that more or
Tess vague system of International usage
known as international law, but it is GER
eatniy en- American doctrine that is deeply
Undecided in the hearts of the American peo-
pie There can be no question whatever
chat under the circumstances in which the
Monroe doctrine would strictly apply we
should insist upon its application and en-
force it with all the powers at our com
mands but whether it does apply to the
questions at issue is quite another question
Certaia it is that to insist that every ques-
tion of boundary line involving q difference
between European and an American ROW.
sr should be submitted to arbitration would
@e at least new application of the Monroe
doctrine as it was originally proclaimed
But as the Monroe doctrine is to be de-
Tended and upheld, not as a part of our in
ternatl0nai law, but simply as an American
policy; so, if the people demand it, it can
be easily and as logically modified and ex-
tended as in the beginning it could be for
mulated anu promulgated. What we have
= right to create we have a right to modify.
The nation may be prepared to take such
an advanced position This is a govern
ment Of public opinion. If we should ever
De obliged to consider the subject in it's
more serious aspects we should probably
often be reminded that the United States
declined at six different times to submit the
question of our northwest boundary to ar
Ditration. as proposed by Great Britain
After such series of refusals on our part
10 submit boundary question to arbitra-
gion we should at least think very serious
Ey whether we will insist upon fighting
other country for what the world might re-
gard as initiating our example

Thought

Thought of any kind, to be valuable,
must be conservative-that is, it must
hold with firm grasp all the truth that
the past has handed down. 1t must
accept humbly and reyerentIy that
which the wisdom Of the ages has
stored up, and SO thoroughly incorpor-
ate it that it may form it's very bone
and muscle Only thus can it acquire
stability or permanence. At the same
time it must be expansive, it must have
the power of growth, it must be hos
pitable to new truths and fresh
thoughts, willing to pursue inquiries,
to attack difficulties, to solve knotty
problems. Thus only can it hand down
to posterity something worthy of it's
acceptance, and pay to the future the
debt it owes to the past.
