They are a peaceable, tractable and

to give the Malay chance to do for

The Berlin correspondent Of a leading
New York paper says that ''the yellow
journals Of America are largely respon-
sible for the unfavorable opinion held
of the United States and this war by
Germans in Germany" 1t is added:
How much damage, for instance, one
single calumny set afioat by this class
of papers is capable of doing in the pub
lie mind of country like this is shown
by the fact that the New York CORES :
pondent of a Berlin paper, the Local
anzeiger," cabled over the statement
that General Fitzhugh Lee had been
bribed with $4,000, and that this state
ment went like wildfire over the whole
German press, and found universal
credence. The comments may be imag
ined. 1t has been stories like this that
have helped to poison the popular mind
here against America. Monarchical
feeling had, perhaps. also something to
do with it, for that is, indeed, as / have

ACQUISITION AND THE MONROE
DOCTRINE.

They are saying that we cannot ac-
quire in the Philippines without aban-
doning the Monroe doctrine. And why,
pray? We declare by the Monroe doc
trine that monarchies shall not broaden
the sweep of their domination upon this
hemisphere. That is the substance and
meat of it. But how does our acqui-
sition OF territory as spoil of war affect
that?
We say to Spain: Your rule of cru
city, oppression, blood, extortion and
retrogression must cease in Cuba"
War ensues, and as an act Of war We
seize her possessions in the Orient
possessions, by the way, which she was
as shamefully misusing as in the West
Indies. Is it intended to say that be-
cause we prohibit the setting up of
thrones on American continents, there
fore we will not resist for cause mon
archical expansion anywhere else?
The Monroe doctrine does not imply a
quasi-protectorate over all American
ItpuDllCS. but III IL QlQ IL QOeS not lOl-
low that we have no right to a decent
foothold here and there abroad, to pro-
mote civilization, conserve common ma
tional interests and the rights Of our
citizens and safety of our ships in dis
tant parts. 1t is not contended that
this nation should go out upon schemes
of conquest. 1t is not. and never should
be, robber nation; it never should in
dulge in land piracy-we do not emulate
the example of some of the Powers"
in that regard.
What we need we should buy and pay
for. But if, in justifiable war, we,
like all other nations similarly engaged,
are bound to cripple the enemy by seiz-
ures, and when we win we are bound to
do as always is done, hold to our ac-
QUESTION by force, to indemnify US for
the cost Of the war. For war is like
litigation; the loser pays all. And it
is just that it should be so.

these inferior cigars the smoker pays
just as much as for a first-class union

and ON which decent, living wages have
been paid. This label is furthermore a
guarantee that the cigars have not been
made in a tenement house, factory or
sweat shop, nor by Chinese coolies or
cOnvicts. We hope and expect that you
will continue to do all in your power
to induce smokers to take none but
union-made cigars. Thanking you for
