conquest would provide occupation and habitation
for more people than would ever seek residence
in colonies within the tropics.
FOREIGN Alliance
'The reasons given by Washington jefferson and
the other statesmen of the early days in support of
the doctrine that we should maintain friendly rela
tions with all nations, but enter into entangling
alliances with none, are even stronger today than
they We're u hundred years ago.
"onr commerce is rapidly increasing and we are
brought into communication with all parts
of the world Even if we desire to do So We could
not afford TO ALLEVIATE many nations by cuitivating
unnecessary intimacy with few. Our strength
and Standing such that 1t is less necessary than
ever before to lean for cid upon the frendliness Of
foreign power.
I'VE cannot connect ourselves with European
nations and share in thes jealousies and ambitions
without losing the peculiar advantage which our
location, character and our institutions give US
in the worlds affairs.
MONROE DOCTRINE
the doctrine enunciated by Monroe and ap-
proved by succeeding Presidents is essential to the
welfare of the United States The continents of
North and South America are dedicated to the de-
velopment of free government One republic after
another has been established until today the mo-
narchical idea has barely foothold In the New
World

ropean countriesand their dependencies in Aneri-

PUBLIC ExTRArAGANcE
The Republican party, drawing as it does enor-
nous campaign funds from those who enjoy special
privileges at the hands OF the Government is pow
eress 10 protect the taxpayers from the attacks of
those who profit by large appropriations A surplus
in the Treasury offers constant Temptation TO ex.
| truvagnnce and extravaganza in turn eomnels
resort to new means of taxation
''This is being kept in the background until the
campaign is over and is fair illustration of the
imposition which will be attempted when there is
a considerable amount of money idle in the Treas
ury. The rehabilitation of the merchant marine,
audabe in ielfis made the pretext for penditure
ers and in the interests of transportation monop
oily. The Government, being only the agent OF the
people, has no right to collect from the people taxes
beyond the legitimate needs of u government hon
estly and effectively Administered. Public servants
should exercise the same degree of care in the
| of the peoples money that private individuals do
| in the use of their own money. With restoration
OF a foreign policy consistent with American ideas
there can be an immediate aud large reduction in
the burdens now borne By the people.
