This business Of being Il ''world'

ing on the maintenance of the Mon
roc doctrine is affordinG the British
and European press considerable en-
tcrta'nmcnt, and rightly so. Uncle
Sans present attitude in disregard.
ing all honorable traditions, IN
throwing overheard everything that
has made for the peace Anl ht1Tppi.
ness of this country and made it a
moral force among the nations of the
world, is change of front that sur.
prises other powers but it is not an
attitude that inspires awe or respect,
and doesn't get it. TO claim cxclu.
sive proprietorship of this part of
the world while attempting by brute
force to add a section of the orien,
to its territory places this government
in IN absurd and illogical position
The proclamation is not likely to
stick. But Secretary Root says we
shall not abandon the Monroe doc.
trine--that we shall fight rather than
give it up. Secretary Root vel
comes more bloodshcd, and mean
time the people might as we'll pre-
pare for another war "for human
ity's sake"
The political morality of the New
England cities and towns is Il thing
about which there has been much
discussion. In the oldrn times,
when the Vermont Central railroad
was a great power, the price of the
vote of the Vermont legislator was
reputed to range between a glass of
cider and q five dollar bill. Things
are probably somewhat different, it
not more expensive now. We have
recently been interviewed by gen
tleman who for two years represent
ed a town in New Hampshire about
the size of Woodstock and not a
thousand miles away from it. He
went into politics as an amateur and
learned the business pretty quickly
though it cost him considerable.
HIS experience was that the average
price of farmers vote in doubtful
cases was from ten to fifteen dollars
In fact, there seemed to be feeling
that no self-respecting farmer would
sell his vote for less than that. In
Vermont, where elections are less
close, the question of the ethics OF
selling and buying votes does not
come up so often and probably the
political morality of Vermont towns
is better than that of New Hamp-
shire. We hope it is because the
morals are better, as we'll as because
temptations and opportunities are
fewer.

We believe in this Grout oleo-

only practical plan to prevent whole

laws have had little cffc ct, and yet
much can be done under existing
conditions. The arrest of Inspector
Little will have a good effect. 1t
will open up the whole subject, at
least, and it will instigate inspectors
to do their full duty. Frauds must
stop, and fraudulent dealers must
be punished, and it is the duty OF
inspectors to see to it that this work
is carried on even to the smallest de-
tail.-PhiladelplA Inquirer.
