'TWIxT YOU AND ME-.

i met Jimmy Gripgerm coming III
street yesterday evening.
As you may imagine. wasn't hi
pleased TO see him. But | sneezed anc
tried to be as civil as | could.
Fact is l entertained Jimmy:
grandfather, old Gripgerm. out at my
house for several weeks, couple OF
winters back. I'll never forget that
| time. Old Gripgerm was a terror to
have visiting you. Makes my nose
ache when I think Of him, even now.
Well, Jimmy Gripgerm was feeling
fine when 1 met him yesterday. Said
he was on his annual trip and that Mrs
Gripgerm and all the little Gripgerms
were with him. He allowed the weather
the past few days hadn't been just Ia
his liking. but he was feeling more
hopeful yesterday with mud in the
streets, moist clouds in the sky and
the thermometer at 80.
Jimmy said he'd just come from DR..
Swarts' office. SAYS he always calls
ON the Doctor when he's in town To pay
his respects and be examined.
i told Jimmy that it was reported
around town that Il. Neumonia was
travelling with him. incognito, this trip.
But Jimmy Gripgerm denied this
Indignantly.
They lay everything to me-" he
observed with some bitterness. "If a
chap gets anything from typhoid to soft
corns they lay ii all to me. OF course
old Neumonia and ] are cousins, but we
don't associate nearly as much as we
used to. Really, I'm not nearly SO bad
as | used to be. I've sown some wild
oats. TO be sure. And it's hard for a
fellow to live down his bad reputation.
But you ask anybody that knows me IL
I'm not reformed good deal. Swarts
course ! make good deal OF business
for my friends the doctors yet and oc-
caslonally tackle a Christian Scientist.
But they'll all tell you / help them To
turn dollar without threatening their
reputation for knowing their business
Folks worry about me altogether too
much. If they'd only keep their mouths
shut and their bowels open I'd never
hurt 'em."
Jimmy spoke so honest-like that /
was bound TO believe him.
Nevertheless, declined with thanks
when he asked me to take a cold with
him, just for old times ache. and was
glad when, without prolonging the
further, he stopped hack and
shook me. THE CRANK.

We don't hear so much about smash
ing the Monroe doctrine by branching
out IN Asatic waters, and. ON the
whole, after the discussion Is done
with, that excellent enunciation will
probably be found 10 be i'm first class
condition and proceeding with business
at the old stand. The Monroe Doctrine
stands for the protection of the western
hemisphere against encroachment of
| foreign governments further than their
system extended at the time the doc
trine" was proclaimed. IL was recalled
and emphasized as American policy
when President Cleveland deliv-
cred his famous Venezuela message
and was established more firmly than
ever in the eyes of European govern
mcnts upon the outcome of the diplo-
matte controversy with Great Britain
that followed. 1t bears no more rela-
tion 90 the expansion proposition than
IL did 10 the expulsion of Spain from
her possessions off our coast. 1t can
not be taken to limit the extension Of
the power and estate OF the United
States any more than IL can be invoked
for the purpose of pushing any exist
ing establlshment of a foreign nation
off the hemisphere. II simply and
solely denies the right of foreign gov
ernments to extend their sphere i'm this
hemisphere. and behind that denial is
the moral and physical power of the
United States, both now acknowledged
in the Premises. Were there any such
tenet i'm Asia as our Monroe Doctrine,
the Asiatics might present it as a rea-
son for objecting to our government
taking possession OF the Philippines.
But although. from Japanese sources,
some such proclamation as Asia for
the Asiatics" has been advanced. il has
not yet had any backing to give 1t force
and command for IL respect except
within well recognized limits. 1t may
indeed, as is argued by the anti-ex-
pansionists, be inconsistent for the
United States 10 claim the right to ex-
tend its territory to the other hemis-
phere while denying the right OF other
nations to extend their territory ON our,
side Of the world. But even If such in
exists, that does not invali-
date the Monroe Doctrine. No nation
in Asia or in Europe has to quote the
Monroe suggested that our
advancement to the Orient is a mani
festation of an unfriendly disposition"
toward any OF the governments over
there. And, on the other hand, no
nation cares Co dispute it that to
push foreign territorial interests on
his hemisphere viii be promptly taken |
