THE MONROE DOCTRINE.

The following is the full text of
President Monroe's utterance which
is known as "the Monroe doctrine :"
owe owe it, therefore, to candor
and to the amicable relations exist
ing between the United States and
those powers, to declare that we
should consider any attempt on
their part to extend their system to
any portion of this hemisphere as
dangerous to our peace and safety.
With the existing colonies or de-
Tendencies of any European power
we have not interferred, and shall
not interfere. But with the gov
eraments who have declared their
independence and maintained it,
and whose independence We have,
on great consideration and on just
principles, acknowledged, we could
not view any interposition for the
purpose OF depressing them, or con-
trolling in any other manner their
destiny, by any European power, in
any light than as the manifestation
of an unfricndly disposition toward
the United States. But in regard
to these contingents, circumstances
are eminently and conspicaousay
different. 1t 10 impossible that the
allied powers should extend their
political system to any portion of
either continent without endanger>
ing our peace and happiness; nor
can anyone believe that our south
ern bretheren, if left to themselves,
would adopt it of their own accord
1t is equally impossible, therefore,
that we should behold such inter-
position, in any form, with indifer>
ence." -Message of December 2,
1928.

Congressman Tracey, of Missouri,
has proposed the pensioning of
every union soldier who served as
much as ninety days during the late
war. 1t might save time and trou-
BILE to provide a scheme for pension
ing every person who ever wen: into
the war on the federal side, or who
ever expressed before witnesses, his
"good mind" to go into the army.
That would bring the pension busi>
ness right down to hard pan.

The Monroe doctrine was an Eu-
ropean suggestion. About seventy
FIVE years ago Prussia, Austria,
France and Russia agreed to sup
port each other in maintaining their
dynasties and to aid in suppressing
revolts in each others territories.
At this time the suggestion of Eng
land, IN behalf of her central and
South American trade, was made
to the United States to adopt pol j.
icy of restraint against aggressive
movements upon American terrific
ries. President Monroe presented
the doctrine. In its brief simplici-
ty, it is that no monarchical aggres-
sion shall be allowed upon Ameri-
can soil.

THE NEW YEAR.

Another year is gone. How
swift and ceaseless is the passing of
time. We cannot count its rapid
movements even by heart throbs.
We look on the dial Of the watch
and observe the second hand rapid
ly moving, pushing minutes, hours
and days to the rear, until sudden
ly we find that the year has
completed its full calendar and
passed beyond recall to the num-
berless ages OF by-gone years, never
to confront US, only as memory in
retrospect may bring it back.
Men die and years die, but there
are born new people and new years,
each treading upon the heels of the
other to find their respective Greats
ed places.
Has your record been blurred
and blackened with sin? Then do
not let the croaking raven of de-
spair, haunt you with its "Never>
MORE" but see if there is not in the
days gone pages in your life's histo>
ny selt.illumineG With deeds of mer-
cy, kind words and loving charity,
which will be as sweet dream, to
cheer and brighten your future
pathway.
Shadows creep into every life,
but the blessed sunshine, comes as
a good Angel, to dispel the gloom
and bring happiness again.
Standing on the threshold OF the
new year with the star of Hope
gliding the horizon of our future,
let us bury our disappointments
and animosities, take fresh courage,
and under the inspiration of implic-
it trust in the Ruler of the Uni
verse, gather strength and wisdom
for the achievement of nobler ends
and grander purposes.
