more and more the civilized peoples are
realizing the wicked folly of war and
are attaining that condition of Just and
intelligent regard for the rights of others
which will in the end. as we hope and
believe. make world wide peace possible
Stride Toward Peace.
The peace conference at The Hague
gave definite expression to this hope and
belief and marked a stride toward their
attainment.
This same peace conference acquiesced
in our statement of the Monroe doctrine
as compatible with the purposes and
aims of the conference.
The Monroe doctrine should be the
cardinal feature of the foreign policy
of all the nations OF the two Americas,
as it is of the United States.
Just e years have passed since Pres-
dent Monroe in his annual message an
nounced that The American continents
are henceforth not to be considered as
subjects for future colonization by any
European power"
In other words. the Monroe doctrine is
a declaration that there must be no terri
torial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Ivy any nom Amer
lean power at the expense of any -Ameri-
can power on American soil.
It Is in no wise Intended as hostile to
any nation in the Old World. Stin less
is it intended to give cover to any ag-
gression by one New World power at the
expense Of any other.
1t Is simply a step, and a long step,
toward assuring the universal peace of
the world by securing the possibility Of
permanent peace on this hemisphere.
During the past century other influ-
ences have esta bliehed 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 permane nee for the lesser
among the New World nations.
Nothing to DO With Commerce.
This doctrine has nothing to do with
the commercial relations of any Amer
ican power, save that 1t in truth allows
each OF them to form such as it desires.
In other words, it is really guaranty
of the commercial independence of the
Americans We do not ask under this
doctrine for any exclusive commercial
dealings with any other American state.
We do not guarantee any state against
punishment If it misconducts itself, pro-
vided that punishment does not take the
form of the acquisition OF territory by
any non-American power.
Our attitude in Cuba is a sufficient
guaranty of our own good faith. We
have not the slightest desire to secure
any territory at the expense of any Of our
neighbOrs
Hand in Hand.
We wish to work with them hand in
hand, SO that all of us may he uplifted
together, and we rejoice over the good
fortune of any Of them; we gladly hail
their material prosperity and political
stability, and are concerned and alarmed
If any of them fall into industrial! or po
litical chaos.
We do not wish to see any Old World
military power grow up on this continent,
or to be compelled to become IA military
power ourselves.
The peoples Of the Americas can pros
per best if left to work out their own
salvation in their own way.

UPBUILDING THE NAVY.

The work OF upbuilding the navy
must be steadily continued. No one
point our policy, foreign or domestic,
honor and material welfare, and above
all to the peace, of our nation In the
future.
Whether we desire it or not, we must
henccforth recognize that We have inter-
national duties no less than interna-
tianal rights.
Even II our flag were hauled down in
the Philippines and Porto Rico even
if we decided not to build the isthmian
canal. we should need a thoroughly
trained navy of adequate size. or else
be prepared definitely and for All time
to abandon the idea that our nation
is among those whose SONS go down to
the sea In ships
Unless our commerce is always to
be carried in fore ign bottoms. we must
have war craft TO proter; it.
Efficient Navy Necessary.
Inasmuch however. as the American
people have no thought Of abandoning
the path upon which they have entered.
and especially in view of the fact that
the building of the isthmian canal is
fast becoming one OF the ma tiers which
the whole people are united i'll demand

CANAL ACROSS ISTHMUS.

No single great material work which
remains to be undertaken on this con-
tinent is OF such consequence to the
American people as the building of a
canal across the isthmus connecting
North and South America.
Its Importance to the nation s by no
means limited merely TO its material
effects upon our businesses prosperity:
and yet with view to these effects alone
it would be to the last degree important
for us Immediately to begin it.
While its beneficial effects would per-
haps be most marked upon the Pacific
coast and the Gulf and South Atlantic
states, it would also greatly benefit
other sections.
It is emphatically work which it is
for the interest of the entire country to
begin and complete as soon as posi-
BILE: it is one of those great works which
only great nation can undertake with
prospects Of success, and which when
done are not only permanent assets
in the nations material interests. but
standing monuments to its constructive
ability.

I am glad to be able to announce to
you that our negotiations on this sub

In other words. there is not the slight

comes in the opposite direction.

islands. The instruction has become

these insurrectos stands on the same

Exactly as our aim is to give to the
Inolan who remains peaceful the fullest
and amplest consideration but to have

ness If he goes on the warpath, so we
must make 1t evident, unless we are false
to our own traditions and to the demands
of civilization and humanity, that while
we will do everything in our power for
the Filipino who is peaceful, we will take
the sternest measures with the Filipino
who follows the path of insurrecto and
the ladrone.
Praise for Natives.
The heartiest praise is due to large
numbers of the natives of the islands
for their steadfast loyalty. The Maca-
bebes have been conspicuous for their
courage and devotion to the flag.
l recommend that the secretary of war
be empowered to take some systematic
action in the way of aiding those of these
men who are crippled in the service and
the families of those who are killed
/ The time has come when there should
tie additional legislation for the Philip
pines. Nothing better can be done for
the islands than to introduce industrial
enterprises.
Nothing would benefit them so much
as throwing them open to Industrial de-
ve!opment. The connection between idle
ne s and mischief is proverbial, and the
OPP rtunity to do remunerative work is
one of the surest preventives Of war.
OF course, no business man will go into
the Philippines unless it is to his interest
to do go; and it Is immensely to the i'm
terest of the islands that he should go in.

what we do will affect not only the
present but future generations.
Best Social Conditions
Our aim should be not simply to re-
claim the largest area OF land and pro-
vide homes for the largest number of
people, but create for this new industry
the best possible social and industrial
conditions: and this requires that we not
only understand the existing situation,
but avail ourselves of the best experience
of the time in the solution of it's prob
lens.
A careful study should be made, both
by the nation and the states, of the ir-
rigation laws and conditions here and
abroad.
Ultimately it will probably be neces-
sary for the nation to cooperate with the
several arid states in proportion as these
states by their legislation and admins
tration show themselves At to receive

ocatiOn to war, an adequate and highly
trained navy is the best guaranty against
war, the cheapest and most effective
peace insurance.
The cost of building and maintaining
such a navy represents the very -lightest
premium for insuring peace which this
nation can possibly pay.
Probably no other great nation in the
world is SO anxious for peace as we
are. There is not a single civilized
power which has anything whatever to
fear from aggressiveness on our part.

No matter how he tried
He couldn't catch the measles,

And though he had the finest bait
He couldn't catch fish.

A Tree Story.

Toggles Sunday school teacher had told him
something he did not understand very well. AS
nearly as he could remember, some man had said
that the whole world Like two great heaps, one
of the happy things and the other of the unhappy
things and every time we took something from the
unhappy heap, and put it on the happy heap made
the whole world pleasanter and better
Then she had told them how the who SAID
it had made'the world happier by giving penny to
little girl who Had lost hers and was crying about
it. Toggles thought it very unlikely that he should
-eva % ef'Ss Ike That Beeausc even II ne
meet such little girl, the chances he wouldn't
have any penny. Being at grandpas a visit and
having teacher, he just kept quiet, and put the
whole matter carefully away iii the back OF his head
to keep until he had time to think it over.
The time came the next afternoon when he
out by the barn, digging in the load of new fresh
sand that grandpa had had dumped there purpose
for him. He made two great piles, nearly of size
as he could and the by his left foot he called the
happy pile and the by his right hand the unhappy
pile and then he took big trowel full of sand from
the right-hand pile and let it sif down the left
hand pile and rejoced to see the unhappy heap
grow smaller and the happy heap grow bigger And
all the time he was thinking how to tell it to Mabel
who was Toggles little sister and who hadn't been
to Sunday because she had torn great hole
in one of her shoes, and the shoemaker had not
fixed it yet.
1t was while he was very busy there that mamma
called him to come into the house. Grandpa hao
come back with the wagon and was all ready to take
him to the big factory where they made the kind of
milk Togges had seen the squirt out of the
into the thick, sticky milk that Togges' mamma
bought in cans at the grocery store. Toggles had
asked so many questions about it that grandpa had
promised to take him to see it done
They were just ready to start and grandpa had
just said Get up" to Dobbin, when Mabel came
running to the door. -

"Oh op said mamma you have not any shoes
to put on. Why, what would the men i'll the big fac
tory say if they were to see little girl without any
shoes?
81 want to CO." repeated Mabel. Il want to see
them make the thick, sticky milk"
mo" said mamma, you can go some other time. ~
And then Mabel began to cry for she hitler
than Toggles, and all of sudden Togges thought
of his two heaps
81 can go some other time" he said Mabel can
wear my shoes"
