THE MONROE DOCTRINE
1t Is Absolutely Essential to the Welfar'
of the United states.

| OF the United states.
The doctrine enunciated by Monroe,
| and approved by succeeding presidents,
| is essential TO the welfare of the
| United States. The continents OF
North and South America are dedi-
Gated to the development of free gov
eminent. One republic after another
has been established, until today mon
archial idea has barely a fOOthold in
the new world.
While il is not the policy of this
| country to interfere where amicable
| relations exist between European
| countries and their dependencies in
America, our people would look with
| disfavor upon any attempt on the part
of European governments to maintain
an unwilling or forcible sovereignty
over the people living on this side Of
the Atlantic.
The position taken b. the Republic
an leaders, and more recently set
forth by the Republican candidate for
the presidency. viz: That we cannot
protect a nation from outside inter
ference without exercising sovereignty
over its people. is an assault upon the
Monroe doctrine, for while this argu-
ment is at this time directed against
the proposition to give to the FilipinOs
both independence and protection. it
is equally applicable to the republics
of Central and South America. If this
government cannot lend its strength to
another republic without making sub
jects of its people, then we must
either withdraw our protection from
the republics to the south of us or alb
sorb them. Under the same plea, that
the guardian nation must exert an au-
thority equal TO its responsibility, Eu-
Korean nations have for centuries eN-
plotted their wards, and it is a sig
nificGnt fact that the Republican party
should accept the European idea of
prOtectorate. at the same time that it
adopts a European colonial policy.
There is no excuse for this abandon
ment of the American idea. We have
maintained the Monroe doctrine for
three-quarters OF a century. The ex-
pense to us has been practically moth
ing but the protection has been beyond
value to our sister republics. If
Filipino republic Is erected upon the
ruins of Spanish tyranny, its protec-
ton by us will be neither difficult nor
expensive. No European nation would
be willing for any other European ma
ton to have the islands, neither would
any European nation be willing to pro-
woke a war with us in order to obtain
possession Of the islands. If we as
sert sovereignty over the Filipinos we
will have to defend that sovereignty by
force, and the Filipinos will be our
enemies; if we protect them from out
side interference, they will defend
themselves and will be our friends. If
they show as much determination in
opposing the sovereignty of other ma
lions as they have shown in opposing
our sovereignty, they will not require
much assistance from us.

POPULAR ELECTION OF SENATOR'S
Demand Appears First Time in Demo
cratic National Platform.

Demand AppenrA First Time In Demo
cratic National Platform.
The demand for a constitutional
amendment providing for the election
Of senators by direct vote of the peo-
pie, appears for the first time in n
Democratic national platform, but a
resolution proposing such an amend
ment. has three times passed the
house of representatives, and that,
too, practically without opposition.
Whatever may have been the reasons
which secured the adoption OF the pres
ent plan. a century ago, new condi-
tons have made 1t imperative that the
people be permitted TO speak directly
in the selection of their representatives
in the senate. 4 senator is no less the
representative of the state because he
receives his commission from the peo-
pie themselves, rather than from the
members of the state legislature. If
a voter Is competent to cote for a
member of congress, for state officers
and for president, he is competent to
choose his representative in the SEN
ate. y system which makes the SEN
alto: responsible for his election to the
people. as whole, and amenable to
them IL he misrepresents them, must
commend itself to those who have con-
fidence in the intelligence and patriot
ism of the masses.
The platform indorses the princi
pie of direct legislation. This is al
ready applied to the more important
questions in nation. state and city. 1t
rests upon the sound theory that the
people can be trusted. and that the
more responsive the government is to
the will of the people. the more free
1t will be from misuse and abuse.

Signaling the Bank Rate.

There is quite mild excitement just
now at the Bank of England because
of an innovation at that venerable
and conservative Institution. flag
staff has actually been placed above
the building, and many are shaking
their heads at the sudden giddiness
of the Old Lady of Threadneedle
street. The suggestion has been made
in all seriousness that numbers might

bank rates indicated from time to time

tween all the gold erd silver dollars IN
circulation in this country, a ratio
which eTen the Republican admins
trstion has rot attempted TO change,
but it Is the only ratio advocated by
those who are seeking to reopen the
mint5. Whether the senate, now hos
tile TO bimetallism. can be changed
during this campaign or the campaign
OF 1902 can only be determined after
the votes are counted. hut neither the
present nor the future political COM
pIeXion of congress has prevented or
should prevent an announcement or
the party's position upon this subject
in unequivocal terms.
The currency bill. which received the
sanction Of tie executive and the Re-
publican members of the house and
senate. justifies the warning given by
the Democratic party in 1896. 1t was
then predicted that the Republican
party would attempt TO retire the
greenbacks, although the party and its
leaders studiously concealed their in
tentiOns. That purpose is now plain
and the people must choose between
the retention of the greenbacks, issued
and controlled in volume by the gov
eminent. and national bankEOte cur
rency issued by banks and controlled
in their own interests. If the ma
tional banknotes are to be secured by
bonds. the currency system now sup
ported by the Republican party In
wolves a permanent and increasing
debt, and, so long as this system
stands. the financial classes will be
tempted to throw their powerful inhu-
ence upon the side of any measure
which will contribute to the size ana
permanency of a national debt. 1t Is
hardly conceivable that the American
people will deliberately turn from the
debt-paying policy Of the past. to the
dangerous doctrine of perpetual bonds.

vor of the Plan-Action May he

CounciI-Cudihee. Wappenstein
and Meredith spoken of ms Can
didntes for Chief of Detectives.

The fact that Mayor Humes has au-
thorized a large increase in the police
force for the purpose Of protecting the
city from criminals who have been at
tracted here in large numbers by the
Cape Nome rush. has caused the advo-
Gates Of the creation of detective bu-
reau to renew their agitation in favor Of
such a step. 1t is not unlikely that an
ordinance will be introduced a the next
meeting of the council embodyng the
plan.
Mayor Humes in his last annual mes
sage recommended the creation of a de-
tective bureau In an interview yester-
day he stated that he had not changed
his mind concerning it.
we are outgrowing primitive police
methods" he said. We have taken our
place among the large cities of the coun-
try. and It Is incumbent upon us to man
age our police affairs in accordance with
the most modern methods. The police
business of this city has grown so large
that II is practically impossible for the
chief to personally supervise the details
of every case upon which his detectives
are working. and at the same time attend
to the management and discipline of his
force.
Every large city in the country has a
detective bureau in connection with it's

and experienced chief OF detectives. who
is held personally responsible for the
work Of his department In this manner
the best possible results are obtained"
Chief Reed when questioned about the
proposed creation Of the bureau said It
had his unqualified approval for the rea-
sons advanced by Mayor Humes.
member of the new police license and
revenue committee OF the city council
stated that as yet no bin for the crea-
ton OF the bureau had been drafted
The fact that the bureau may be Gre
ated has caused considerable gossip
among members OF the police department
as 10 who Is likely 10 be appointed chief
OF detectives. Three men have been
prominently spoken OF, These are Ed
ward Cudhee, G. w. Wappenstein and w
J. Meredith. all of whom are at present
connected with the police department as
city detectives
OF the three, Detective Cudhee has
served the longest on the local police
force, his connection with II dating from
1891 lie has been connected with nearly
every large case handled by the depart
ment within that time, and his friends
are urging his good record and his long
service as the main reasons for his ap-
pointmcut. Prior 10 coming to Seattle
Cudihce was chief Of police Of LcadVille

LAND TITLES ATTACKED,

test Recent sales, Weyerhacu-

4 new phase Of the contest that has been
going on between the Northern Pacific
Railway Company and the old or original
organiza ton known as the Northern Pa

which for the present at least threatens
TO involve the title to the timber lands
recently purchased BY the Weyerhaeuser
syndicate from the Northern Pacific, as
well as all other land sales made by the
new organization in the Northwest.
Ever since the property OF the original
company was sold by the receiver TO the
new organization, strife between the stock
holders of the two companies has been 60
Ing on. The matter was brought to
climax last week by the Introduction in
congress OF a bill to inquire into the reor-
ganizaton OF the company which con-
tains a resolution that all sales Of land
from the original grant made by the re-
organized company be declared Illegal. The
bill was introduced at the request of Cor

More than week ago petition was

Architects, requesting the appointment Of
competent man to the position which was
made vacant three months since by the

ton was later supplemented by one Of the

has performed the duties Of the office made
vacant by the resignation Of Mr. Josen-
