The Monroe doctrine has become
too limited for the expanded ideas of
the Republican party. 1t must be got
rid of to allow the opening OF door
through which will enter the spirit of
destruction to American liberty.
Upon this subject the Kansas City
Times utters warning: "The danger
OF an allegation of the Monroe doc
trine is already upon us, forced there
BY the traitorous disregard of the fun
damental principles of our govern
ment by the archimperialist in the
White House, who, at the behest of
the nalign influences in control of
him, would place money above man
hood, monarchy above Democracy,
and is doing all in his power to sup
plant a government by the people with
government of trusts and syndi-
Gates"

A WORD OF WARNING.
san Francisco Argonaut.


The 1rgonaut is Republican
paper. and it will loyalty support the
Republican party's stand on the Phil
ippines when the Republican party de-
clares itself. Up to date there has
been no such declaration. The latest
official declaration of any national
Republican body was q resolution
passed by the United States Senate
the day when, by the casting vote of
Vice President Hobart, it reluctantly
approved the treaty with Spain. In
that resolution the United States Sem
ate declared against annexing the
Philippines and demanded that inde-
pendence be given to the Philippine
people. When Congress meets this
month the country will learn whether
the Senate still favors the independ-
ence, or whether it has changed its
views; also, how the House of Repre-
sentatives stands. Until then the
question is unsettled, as far as the Re.
publican party is concerned. {.
If our party in Congress-both Houses
being Republican-declares against
Philippine independence, the Argo-
mam will support the party in its
stand. We have opposed the forcible
annexation of the Philippines on two
purely material grounds-that we be-
lieve it to be bad business and bad pol
itics. Ethical grounds cut little fig
in the last decade of the nineteenth
century. We have considered it bad
business because it will cost many
millions to reconstruct the islands.
The cost Of the little war there will be
but hagatelle compared to the task
which follows the war. We have con-
sidered it bad politics because we firm
ly believe that it will endanger the
success of the Republican party in the
ySoA AVOO. AhC are
claring against expansion. Working
men fear annexation, with its menace
to free labor and its menace to free
trade.
The latest body to declare itself in
this direction is the Knights of Labor,
the most numerous and most power
full labor organization in the country.
At the close of their convention in
Boston, November %, they unani-
mously passed resolutions condemning
the administrations foreign policy,
strongly opposing Philippine annexa-
ton, denouncing President Mckinley
Gas the bitter enemy of labor" and
"asking organized labor to use its
votes against him and his associates"
Does any sane Republican believe we
oan carry this country in 1900 with
united labor against us? If so, we do
not. Will the Republican
party listen to warning? The Argo.
maut has said its say.

Both In the Same Box.

A parson who occasionally breaches
in south London arrived to take the
place of the vicar, who had been
called away on account of some FAM
lily bereavement and found an old and
rather asthmatic lady struggling up
the steps which led to the front door.
He courteously gave her his arm to
assist her and when they reached the
top the dame asked him if he knew
who was going to preach. "Mr. So
and-so," replied the parson, giving his
own name. "Oh, dear me-" ex-
claimed the old lady" help me down
again, if you please; I'd rather listen
to the groaning and creaking of q
windmill than sit under him." and she
prepared to descend. The parson
gently assisted her downstairs and
sighfully remarked as he bade her
good-by: al wouldn't 60 in either if
l weren't the preacher"

Wise SAYINGS.

Wise Sayings.
Economy is a virtue which is needed
everywhere.
To waste is wicked.
There are better ways to spend
money and goods than to waste them.
1t is the poorest use they can be
pnt to. Many people would be
economical if they knew how. 1t is
an art to practice economy.
To do it we'll one must know the
art. All can have it if they will.
1t is an arithmetical art. 1t is the
conclusion Of numbers.
All must live and ought to Live we'll,
but how to live best at the least ex.
pense is the work of figures to tell.
We must count the ways and means
and compare them.
Many people use expensive articles
OF food and dress when cheaper ones
would be in every way better and more
serviceable.
Especially in regulating the table
expenses is there a great want OF
economy.
A little useful information concern
ing the qualities of food, the amount
and kind of nutritious matter they
contain, the wants OF the human sys-
tenn and the best way OF cooking.
would often save fully one-third, and,
in many instances, half the expense.
A wise economy in table expenses is
favorable to health, and in this way
saves time, drugs, expense, and doc
tors bills, flesh, strength and happi-

QUAINT NoTEsoN OLD SERMON
Puritan Divine Who Did Not Rely Upon No.
mentary Inspiration.
Youths COMPANION

The descendant of New England
puritan divine has in his possession an
old sermon written by his ancestor
which shows that the preacher did not
trust entirely to the impulse of the
moment when delivering his dis
courses. The manuscript is written in
strange, grabbed hand, and plenti-
fully besprinkled with marginal refer
epces. "Read slowly here" the min
lister admonishes himself in one spot,
and "to be given out very loud and
clear" is the suggestion for another
passage. "Hurry a little, with fire."
he wrote in several places. The most
emphatic and important part of the
whole sermen is indicated by much
underlined marginal note. After
hearing stories of this sanity old time
preacher it is amusing to know that
he deemed it wise and even necessary
at the climax of his eloquence to "yell
like one possessed"

Jeff Davis Was Never Tried.

An ex-Confederate officer relates, in
the Dallas News, why Jefferson Davis
was never tried for high treason. The
statement is interesting and runs as
follows:
He says that one day Salmon p.
Chase, Chief Justice of the United
States Supreme Court, put this query
to his colleagues on the bench: "A
man cannot be tried for treason unless
he is citizen OF the country, can he?"
Certainly not" was the answer OF
every Justice. "Then," said Mr..
Chase, "Mr. Davis cannot be tried for
treason unless he is IL citizen of the
United States, can he?" Assuredly
not" was the unanimous reply.
"Can you show me, under the author
ity Of the Constitution or any law of
Congress" went on the Chief Justice,
"where any man is a citizen of these
United States? The people of this

lands should be logged by rail, con-
Meeting directly with the manufacture
ing plants and all the products of our
timber lands should be utilized. Trees
should be cut to the ground with the
tops as we'll as the trunks worked into
material that il of value. Even the
roots furnish ship knees and the
pltchy butts yield tar and turpentine.
The bark of the hemlock should be a
valuable product. Our hemlock is a
beautiful wood for finish and an ex.
cellent box material, without odor or
faint; brush and tops should be
ground into pulp.
If our forests could be handled in
such way the yield would be twice
as much as it now is. That which is
destroyed by fire and wind after the
logger has finished his work is more
than that which he takes to market as
a harvested crop. The lumbermen of
the Coast should be called to &C.
count for their handling of this in
heritance. 1t is trust for future
generations, subject to use - not
abuse-of those who are now Destroy
ing it.
Consumers as we'll as manufacturers
are responsible for this waste and will
suffer in consequence. Floors to be
carpetcd are no better for being verti-
cal gain and tight sound knots are no
actual objection, yet all our flooring is
ordered "Clear V.G." After paint
ing no one can tell whether car-siding
is vertical grain or fiat and there is no
difference in strength or durability,
yet most car companies require all
siding "Clear V. G." One.half the
bevel-siding and rustic used on our
houses cuts to short lengths, as does
much of the flooring and finish, yet
the trade of the middle West will have
none of these, although the East
builds as we'll and covers with 4-foot
siding or clapboards.
The public is educated to false ideas
OF "good" lumber. Strength, dura.
bility and fitness to the purpose for,
which it is to be used should be the
standards. This often means much
cheaper and no less desirable material
than the coarser products of our for.
ests; If salesmen would offer the low
est grade and shortest lengths suited
to the customers purpose; if archi-
tects and engineers would stipulate
strength and durability" instead OF
"clear V. g." or material free from
all known defects" if carpenters and
manufacturers would figure out the
exact lengths and sizes they will cut
their lumber into, instead of ordering
long lengths and cutting to waste,
much of this extravagant use OF our
forests could be avoided, consumers as
we'll as manufacturers benefited and
wealth on timber lands left to our
children, instead of barren monu-
ments of our destructive methods.

Expenses Of the Government.

Under the Hayes administration the
per capita expenditure was from $4.9S
to $5.46; under Arthur it WAS $4.63 10
$494 under Cleveland's first term it
was $4.22 to $4.SS; under Harrison it
was $5.07 to $573; under Cleveland's
second term it began at $5.37, fell to
$4.93 and closed at $5.01. The aver
age under those five Presidential terms
was $4.97. This has risen now, due to
war expenditures solely, to $7.95 in
the last fiscal year, with prospect OF
going still higher before our military
troubles are over.
