AT SEA.

Oh, we go down to sea in ships,
But Hope remains behind,
And Love, with laughter on his lips
And Peace, of passive mind,
While out across the deeps Of night,
With lifted sails of prayer,
We voyage off in quest of light
Nor find it anywhere,
o thou who wroughtest earth and sea,
Yet keepest from our eyes ., s
The shores of an eternity
In Gains of paradise, -
Blow back upon our foolish quest
With all the driving rain ..
OF binding tears and wild unrest
And watt us home again.

NOTINGS.

President Roosevelt's message is re-
garded by Washington diplomats as
making an important change in the
meaning of the Monroe doctrine. They
interpret it as disfavOring territorial
ACKNOWLEDGMENT by one republic at the
expense of another. Pan American
diplomats think it means an announce
ment of the purpose of the Washington
government to direct the foreign poll
cies of American republics. Presi-
dent Monroe ; message. Decem-
Der >. 1923, said; 1.-The American con
tinents are henceforth not to
be considered as subjects for future
colonization by any European powers
. 1t is impossible that the allied
powers should extend their political
system to any portion of either CONT
nent without endangering our peace
and happiness, nor can any one be-
lievc that our Southern brethren, if
left to themselves, would adopt it of
their own accord. 1t is equally impos-
sible, therefore, that we should behold
such Interposition in any form without
interference. - President Roosevelt
Interpretation of the doctrine, Decem-
cdr 3, 1901, was: 1.-The Monroe doc
trine is declaration that there must
be no territorial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT by
any non American power at the eX-
pense of any American power on
American soil. 1t is in no wise intend
ed as hostile to any nation in the Old
World Still less is in intended to
give cover to any aggression by one
New World power at the expense of
any other. 1t is simply a step, and a
long step, toward assuring the uni
versal peace of the world by securing
the possibility of permanent peace on
this hemisphere. During the last cen
fury other influences have established
the permanence and independence of
the smaller states of Europe. Through
the Monroe doctrine we hope to be
able to safeguard like independence
and secure like permanence for the
lesser among the New World nations. "

to be held a strict prisoner of war.
OF course such hearing of the native

IIill's New RORd,

Great Falls, Mont, June l0.-The ru-
NOR of last January to the effect that the
Great Northern was negotiating for the
purchase of the Great Falls & Canada rail
way has developed into fact. The news
reported from authoritative sources says
the road has passed into the possession OF
the Great Northern, and That the price
paid was $750,000. A circular has been IS
sued to the stockholders calling a meeting
for the ratification of the deal.
The Great Falls & Canada railway eX
tends from Great Falls to Shelby junction
and at the latter point is joined by the
Alberta Railway & Coal company's road
which is really a continuation OF the
former in the Canadian territory with a
terminus at Lethbridge.
The Great Falls & Canada is l34 miles
in length The road is at present a narrow
gauge. but it will he broadened to a stand
ard gauge during the present summer and
utilized as short cut by the Montana
Central between this city and the main
line of the Great Northern at Shelby June
tion. The possession of the road will also
shut out any competition that might de,
velop from the north.
