that no European nation should be
permitted TO compromise our national
tranquility by Selling territory or in
creasing its territorial possessions in
the new world. The Monroe doctrine
as enumerated by the fifth president OF
our republic, Is simple and emphatic
assertion NJ the instructions OF our
forefatbers.
The fact Is that though the Monroe
doctrine II an unwritten law, IL has be-
come part and parcel Of our foreign
policy, and during the seyenty-fiye
years since 1t was uttered. the Ameri-
can people have grown accustomed to
consider IL as sacred as the national
constitution. It may therefore be con-
sldered traditional policy which we
as a nation are bound to support and
defend, even though recent events have
have been subjected 10 great strain.
The various occasions in our history
on which the Monroe doctrine has been
invoked az expressing our policy
viewed chrono logically, present strik-
ing panorama OF its growth and extern
sion. In 1862 came the Panama CON
gress called by league OF South and
Central American states for the pur-
pose Of considering means OF making
efrectual the declaration Of the presi-
dent OF the United States respecting
any Interior designs OF foreign

1t was on Dec. ., 1923, that Presi-
dent Monroe, after long and heated
cabinet debates in which the immortal
John Quincy Adams, secretary OF
state, took no small part, sent to con
gress the famous message which pro-
mulgated what has since that day
been known as the Monroe doctrine
1t was III 1922 that the president rec
ognized the independence of Mexico
and also the provinces in South
America. formerly under the dominion
of Spain, and TO emphasize this nc
ton, in his message of Dec 2. 1923
he promulgated the policy that the
people OF the United States should
not suffer themselves TO be entangled
in the broils among European ma.
tons nor permit the powers OF the

1T is not alone written statute
nor section OF the international
code that governs or controls the des-
tines OF great nation" says the great
lawyer, Frederic Il. Coudert. THE
Monroe doctrine has not been In
corporated In the code, but there is
an unwritten law, the first article of
which provides that self defense is
always legitimate, either for tae in
diyidual or the nation. The American
people have been educated by prac-
tice and principle to believe that
when they were started as a nation
there were two cardinal principles
which they must observe and support
II they proposed to govern themselves
as George Washington and the
founder OF the Republic intended they
should.
The first OF these cardinal principles
was that we should not interfere In the
Internal and lnterminable brols among
European nations concerning their do
nestle affairs or international quar-
rels. This principle has been strictly
adhered to, despite the many proyoca-
lions for different course of proceed
ure. The second principle laid down
by the founders OF our republic was

CLAY SCORES CHURCHMEN.
THINKS THE SOUTHERN SENATOR'S
WE'RE BADLY TREATED.

The Charge That Mai. StahIman Re-
ceived $4,000 for His Services in
Getting the Bill Through Congress
Now Looked Upon as Well Found
ed-The Book Agents Denied That
Any One Was to BE Paid "A Fee for
Getting the Bill Through.
Washington. June 1O,-Mrs. Feiton's ex-
pose of the way the Southern Methodist
claim was put through Congress has made
It a national issue.
Her declarations that Maj. Stahlman re-
ceived nearly, if not quite 100000 for lobby
ing the bill, has been supplemented by
highly corroborative evidence which Will
lead to an investigation by Congress.
incidentally the charges show up some
of the church officials who were urging the
passage of the bill in anything but ia
vorable light, and the senators and repre-
sentatives who were particularly promi-
nent in support of the measure find it diff
cult to restrain their indignation at the
treatment they have received.
One of the most active supporters of the
claim was Senator Clay. who, as member
of the Senate committee CldlIIlSp WAS VI
great value in securing the committees
approval, and afterwards was largely in
strumental in passing the measure through
the Senate.
Senator Clay supported the bill, as other
Southern senators did, because he knew
the claim to be meritorious one, and
because the beneficiary Is one of the great
religious denominations of Georgia and the
South. During the progress OF the fight
over the measure it was suggested by some
of its enemies that the reason Maj. Stahf-
man. who was here, was so active in ats
support lay in a big contingent fee.
Immediately the Southern senators de-
manded the truth of Messrs. Barbee &
Smith the book agents of the church, who
represented il in this matter, and on their
positive disclaimer the friends of tho
measure promptly denounced the charge
as a Islander
Later developments have, however indi-
Gated that the charge was not a SANDER.
To-day Senator Clay took the matter up
in the Senate and in no uncertain way
expressed his views on the trea tment the
Southern senators and representativ "a
had received at the hands of the men
representing the church.

MONTERREY AT SAN DIEGO.
The Monitor and Her COnsOrt Put I'm
For Coal.

NOE AOuAs
San Diego, Cal, June 10.-The United
States steamer Monterey and her coal con-
sort the Brutus, supposed to be speeding
on their way toward Honolulu and Manila,
were sighted at noon to-day steaming
south toward San Diego at a good rate
of speed, the Monterey leading.
They arrived Off the harbor mouth at 3
p. m. and separated, the Brutus going
about five miles south and anchoring at
Coronado Island, while the Monterey came
in rapidly and dropped her anchor at 4
p. m.
A cutter, in which were Paymaster Rog-
ers and an ensign, came ashore as soon
as the boat could be launched, and Pay
master Roberts stated briefly TO the Asso-
ciated Press reporter that they had sim
ply come In for coal and water and would
sail tomorrow afternoon at high tide for
Honolulu.
Being asked II there was anything the
matter with the engines, machinery or
crew, he said: Nothing whatever, all is
well on board
It was suggested that the course taken
was little out of the usual one, and he
said it would make little difference in the
time of arrival at Honolulu.
Coal was ordered put on board In hur-
ry, and Is now being taken on. The Of
hcer accompanying the paymaster, stated
that they met heavy weather the second
day out, and lost overheard eighty-three
tons, which was secured in the netting on

RAIL RATES UPHELD.
Interstate Commission Looks Upon
Them as Not Unjust.

Washington, June 1O.-The Interstate
Commerce Commission to-day in an opln-
ion by Commissioner Yeomans. announced
its decision an the case of the railroad
commission of South Carolina, against
the FlorenSs Railroad Company, and
others and in two other cases.
The complaints alleged that rates charg-
ed by defendants for the transportation
of melon in car loads from shipping points
in South Carolina to New York and other
Northern points were unjust and unrea-
sonable.
1t appeared that the rates were lower
than those In force between the same
points on cotton and general mere han
disc, although greater speed and some
other exceptional facilities are involved IN
the transportation Of melons from South
carolina, and that the rate per ton per
mile afforded by the melon rates ranged
from 10 mills to IL cents, and for most
of the defendant roads were less than the
average receipts per ton per mile from
all freight.
The commission decides that the rates
complained of We're not shown to be I'M
reasonable or unjust, and that the peti-
tons should be dismissed without pre-
JUDGES.
