Upholdinu inc Monroe Doctrine.

President RooseveitS mihheapoiis speech, delivered in the very week of the tragedy at Buffalo, was not con fined to domestic questions by any means. He discussed our foreign re- lations, making it plain that he is in favor of a consistent but firm policy towards other nations. He denounced all clustering on the part of great people-mere jingoism-and he does not anticipate any military complica- tions whatever, although he foresees the strain that will accompany indus trial competition. And then he dis cussed the Monroe Doctrine. We give his own words, partly because they are so recent and partly because they show just what his belief Is in rela- tion to the great American Doctrine. He said:
 "This is the attitude we should take as regards the Monroe doctrine. There Is not the least need of clustering about It. still less should 1t be used as pretext for our own aggrand'zement at the ex- | pense of any other American state.
 But most emphatically, we must make 1t evident that we intend on this point
 ever to maintain our old American posi-
 ton. indeed, 1t is hard to understand how any man can take any other posi- ton, now that we are all looking forward l to the building of the isthmian canal The Monroe doctrine Is not international law. but there is no necessity that 1t should be. All that is needful is that 1t should continue to be cardinal feature of American policy on this continent; and | the Spanish American states should, In their own interests. champion it as strongly as we do. We do not by this doctrine intend to sanction any policy of aggression by one American common wealth at the expense of any other, nor any policy of commercial discrimination against any foreign power whatsoever. Commercially, as far as this doctrine is concerned. all we wish is a fair field and no favor; but if we are wise we shall strenuously insist that under no pretext aggrandizement on American soil by any | European power, and this, no matter what form the territorial aggrandizement may take"
 This declaration by the new Presi- dent will be read by the War Lord of Germany and by his advisers, and they will doubtless gather from 1t that they can only gain a foothold in America at the expense of distant and extremely expensive war with ,s0, 000.000 of determined and warlike peo pie. Germany's War Lord cannot in duce Germany to pay such a price for American territory.
 No other country proposes for a mo ment to trespass upon American ter. ritory in defiance of the Monroe Doc. Urine. James Monroe was a good Dem. ocrat. and the Doctrine with which he bade defiance to the Holly Alliance has grown and strengthened with the years, and with the prosperity of this country. It came in 1923 to stay, and President Roosevelt will have the en tire country at his Jack whenever and wherever he finds it necessary to up hold it.

LOCAL TAXATION NEEDED,

From the Pickens County News

What we neeo iS local taxation supplemented by the state fund. The man who pays his taxes di- rectly for the benefit of public schools will consider 1t duty.

Tt is a very interesting fact of history that on the night after Ancoln's assas- sination, Garfield made hls first historic appearance. In a passionate appeal 10 the New York mob to keep the peace saiu student of history last night.

 "When the excitement was at It's height suddenly there appeared in window or the old World newspaper office fronting the square the stalwart figure or soi- dierly-loolKing man, clearly seen agalnsC the light within the building. By some strange, almost preternatural influence that vast crowd was stilled ana every man, apparently, looked at the ngure m the window. There was absolute stiffness and there rang out upon the night ar m notes as clear as the tones Of silVer hell:

From Booth to czoIaosz.

United States Circuit Judge David D. Shelby of Huntsville, who Is now hold ing court in Birmingham, was an officer in the Confederate service, though very young man even at the close of the war between the states. He and twenty-five other Confederates were together one day in April 1865. when news came to them of the assassination of President Lincoln
 Speaking of the circumstance to some friends a day or two ago, Judge Shelby declared that every man in that little band of defeated Confederates was pro- foundly shocked by and bitterly resent full against the murder of the President of the Union, victorious as the Union apparently and actually was over the Confederacy.
 Judge Shelby further said that the sense of horror that thrilled the impoy- erished South then was as great as the horror Is now on account of the assassl- nation of President Mckinley, and the denunciation of Booth was quite as fierce and bitter as the present passionate con. demnation of Czolgosz.
