Court House Talk,

Editor Leader-Please allow some
remarks in reference to our new Court
House. AS this is the time when talk
is cheap, and most everyone has some
thing to say as to where the new
building should be-
While Nhere are several sites with
ample room for both Court House and
Jail, the Sheriff's residence, there is
one tract of ground l would refer to
especially. 1t has shade trees in abun-
dance, good water on either side of the
square, paved streets on two sides, and
where high water is not known-ex-
cept Noah's food. The ground is all
natural soil. It is within two minutes
walk OF the street cars can be had
without the cost of a dollar to the city
or county.
This place Is known as Camp Tupper
and II lis situated between Third and
Fourth streets, above Warren. We
think this is the proper location, as
there will be no suit 10 condemn prop
erty. CITIZEN.

answered. SO pften and so coHelusiyely
that it seemed strange itshouldever be
tinted at again The Monroe Doc
tflne said nothing about hemisphercs
IT puts us under no obligations CON
oerning other continents. 1T simply
warned European nations not to in.
crease their holdings on the American
continents at the expense of the indie
pendent states existing here, and
bound us In return not meddle with
their already established holdings,
Simply that, and nothing more. 1t
did not forbid their invasion of other
parts of this hemisphere and their
conquest and annexation thereof, and
it did not restrict our activities in this
hemisphere. Our annexation Of the
Philippines, therefore, is no more a
breach of abrogation of it than it is n

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining OF the Ens-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, ann when IL is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be ta-
ken out and this tube restored TO it's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever, nine cases out OF ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an iniamed condition OF the
mucous surfaces.

Utter Inadequacy of Certain Grounds
of Opposition to Expansion.

,, A Western Senator is reported as
saying that the treaty of peace now
being concluded at Paris will never be
ratified by the Senate, because % the
payment of $40, 100000 to Spain would
establish a dangerous precedent; t2)
we do not want more than one island
in the Philippines; CD there is no
place in our general policy for colon
ial possessions and (D by taking the
Philippines we should be abrogating
and discarding the Monroe Doctrine.
It is not supposable that any consid-
cradle number of Senators will oppose
ratification of the treaty on such or
any grounds. But if even one is in
clined to do so, it will be worth while
to point out the utter inadequacy and
fallacy of the stated grounds.
In regard to the first ground, there
will be no dangerous precedent es-
tablished, because, in the first place
we are not going to have any more
foreign wars and consequent anneXa-
tions of territory, and because, in the
second place, the proposed payment
will be merely a following of an al
ready established precedent, and a
maintenance of an already established
policy. We certainly vanquished Mex
leo in 1S4S as completely as we did
Spain in 1898, and we took a great
tract of her territory, including what
is now California Nevada, Utah and
/ parts of Arizona, New Mexico, Colo
RADIO and Wyoming, but instead of TAX
ing 1t for nothing, as spoils of war,we
paid Mexico $15,O0O,OOO FOR it-pcr-
chase price or indemnify, as you please
And few years later for a smaller
tract south of the Gila we paid Sl0,-
100000 more. That is the precedent IN
the case.
In the second place, our only choice
is to take all the Philippines or none.
If we have right to take one, we have
a right to take all; if we have no right
to take all we have no right to take
one. To take one and leave the rest
either to be returned to Spanish mis-
government or to fall into anarchy
would be a monstrous betrayal of NOR
al trust. To take one would involve
us in exactly as great problems of CO.
lonial government. ETC., as to take
them all. and to take one and leave
the rest to Spain or to sCme other
Power would immeasurably increase
the danger of unpleasant complica-
tions with other Powers.
AS to the third point, that our sys-
tenn has no place for colonial posses
| slons, we. would like to know, then,
where Alaska stands. 1t is not state.
1t is not territory. Yet we possess
it, and have possessed it for more Ihan
80 years. If it is not a colonial pos
session" such as in the British Empire
would be, called crown colony, it
would be interesting to know what it
| is.
The fourth point has already been
