more than a third of a century with little

the devastation of actual war In the field.
They deal rather with the sentimental feat

debt duo TO a foreign power. II 10
superHuous to inquire whether, In the
event OF a boundary dispute between
an American and non-American
power, Mr. RoosEvEiT is likely 10 SHOW
himself less firm than was Mr.. cLEvE-
LAND in insisting that the controversy
shall he settled, not by force, but by
arbitration.
Having defined with desirable clear
ness what the Monroe Doctrine IL, Nr.
ROOSEVELT proceeds TO indicate a. pre-
oisely what it is not. This part OF the
message will be read with peculiar
qualification by the representatives OF
our sister American Commonwealth
now assembled In the City OF Mexico.
The Monroe Doctrine, says the Presi-
don't IL in no wise intended TO give, cover
to any aggressions by one New worm
power at the expense OF any other.
Mother has IL anything to do with the
commercial relations Of any OF the
American powers, save that II allows
each OF them TO form such rs II desiree.
Under this doctrine the United states
do not ask for any exclusive commercial
dealings with any other American re-
publics. In other words, the doctrine
~ for each and all Of the American
powers a guaranty OF commercial IN
dependence. The President adds that.
II any proof were needed OF our good
faith in proclaiminG this ae!f-denyins
ordinance. that proof Il furnished by
our attitude In Cuba. We have there
demonstrated that we have no wish to
secure any territory at the expense OF
any Of our neighbos.
In a word the Monroe Doctrine, a.
interpreted by Mr.. ROOSEVELT, is simply
q step, and a long step, toward assuring
the universal peace Of the world, by
assuring the possibility Of permanent
peace on this hemisphere. IL the doc
trine Is TO be maintained, however, on
its positive, "a we'll us its negative side
and there Is no doubt that our people
intend TO abide by tour naval power
must betimes be made adequate to the
purpose. We are foIcibly reminded
that the navy offers US the only means
Of making our insistonce upon the Mon
roe Doctrine snything but o subject OF
derision TO whatever nation chooses to
disregard it. To quote the Presidents
own words, we must strengthen our
navy because "the peace that we de-
sire is that which comes 10 OF right 20
the just man armed; not the peace
granted on terms Of ignominy TO the
craven and the weaklins." ...
That q powerful navy is indispensable
to the maintenance OF the Monroe Doc
trine is as plain to foreigners as it ought
to be to ourselves. Tho London
Chronicle observed on Wednesday,
touching the passage Of the Presidents
message to which We have referred:
" Whether the European nations are
likely to respect this American prohibi-
ton much longer, when the desirable
colonizing grounds Of the world are
being snapped up in headlong race,
must depend ultimately upon the ability
OF the United States to enforce their
prolibition.

Anarchy Island.

Senator vKsT's conception OF the
proper treatment Of anarchists seems
70 be confinement for life in penal
colony upon some suitable island within
the jurisdiction Of the United States
He has introduced resolution inquir-
ing whether there IL any constitutional
xuthority for the establishment OF such
= penal colony.
We suppose that II the constitutional
authority should be discovered BY the
Judiciary COMMITTEES there will be no
difficulty in finding q suitable island.
Fhe remoter 1t Ia from the centres OF
civilization the better it will suit Senator
Vrsr's proposed method OF treating
chs anarchists; the essential part OF his
plan being absolute seclusion from the
outside world, except so far "a COM
munication may be allowed by the
proper officers.
The question, however, is whethor
h would be possible to find the anarchists
IN order to deport them, after both the
Constitutional authority and the island
Stself had been provided. Their revolt
ing creed manifeets itself sometimes
IN acts, sometimes in words. The really
dangerous anarchists, as rule, are those
who become publicly known as such
only after the commission OF some crime
which places them readily within the
reach Of existing laws for the punish
ment Of the guilty.
1t is not for the red-handed assassin,
for instance, that Senator VEST proposes
60 establish the penal colony; the pun
shment would be inadequate in the case
of any anarchist who had actually trans
lated his creed into deed Of murder.
The inhabitants Of the island would
consist Of those persons who have pro-
daimed themselves as anarchists, or
kave organized a propaganda, or have
p,ihlicly or privately confessed to doc
trines which point the way for the pis-
tol, the knife or the bomb.
3 Il is hard to imagine how popula-
Con could be provided for the island;
nd without a considerable population
Is deterrent effect upon the ardor OF
the disciples of anarchy throughout
the world would be so small as to make
she experiment hardly worth its cost
md trouble. Even the relatively few
teachers of anarchist doctrine who now
70 about moutbing their infamy merely
because they rejoice in open defiance
of civilization. would take precious
rood care TO avoid a martyrdom Offering
NO attractions whatever to vanity. At
the same time the professed anarchists
yho really mean business would be
spually careful not TO render themselves
liable to an exile that would at once
put an end to oil hopes Of practical
Srtiv;ty in the interest Of their theories.
The societies now partly open TO day
hght, would at once become submerged.
but for that reason not the less dos
perate and dangerous.
IL there were any physical mark by
which the anarchist and the potential
assassin or inccndiary could be ldenti-
aed. the idea OF distant penal colony
might be a promising one. As It r
the proper subject for deportation could
be identified in most cases only by his
own confession. or by a process based
or information and belief
How many would confess, How far
would Il do 10 depend upon informa'
ton and belief

This carload OF mail came from New

stock still. look of heSitancy. almost
of bewilderment. on his face. Then
he retreated step. while pallor be-
gan to steal over his features. The
multitude. only partly aware that
something serious had happened,
paused in surprise. while neckS were
craned and all eyes turned as one to
the rostrum where Il great tragedy was
being enacted. Then came commo-
ton With the leap of a tiger three
men threw themselves forward, as
with one impulse, and Sprang toward
the would-he assassin. Two of them
were United States secret service men
who were on the lookout and whose
duty il was to guard against just such
a calamity as had here befallen the

The third was n bystander. negro.
who had only an instant previously
grasped in his dusky palm the hand
of the president As one man the trio
hurled themselves upon the presidents
aSsaiIant In a twinkling he was
borne to the ground. his weapon was
wrested from his grasp and strong
arms pinioned him down. Then the
multitude which thronged the ediice
began to come to a realizing sense of
the awfulneSs of the scene of which
they had been unwilling witnesses. n
murmur arose. spread and swelled to
a hum of confusion. then grew to
babel of sounds. and later to a pande-
monium OF noises.
The crowds that n moment before
had stood mute and motiOnleSS now.
with single impulse. surged forward
toward the stage of the horrid drama.
while hOarse cry welled up from
thousand throatS and n thousand men
charged forward to lay hands upon
the perpetratOr of the daStardly crime.
For a moment the confusion was ter
rible The crowd Surged forward re-
cardleS of consequences. Men shout
ed and fought women screamed and
children cried. Some of those nearest
the doors fed from the edifice in fear
OF a stampede. while hundreds Of 9TH
ers from the outside struggled blindly
forward in the effort to uenetrate the
crowded building and solve the mys-
terry of excitement and panis which
every moment grew and swelled with
in the congested interior of the edi-
flee.
The attempted assassination was
kept from Mrs. Mckinley for some
time, but when it was determined to
take the president to Mr.. Milburn's
residence It was thought best to tell
her. and she bore the ordeal bravely.
The assassin has been discovered TO
be Leon CzOlgasz, born at Detroit, and
came here from Cleveland.
