being more democratic than some oil
the South American republics. Fur
| Their, the doctrine has never been
recognized by other nations, nor is it
likely to be SO long as it applies to
regions in which other nations have
far greater interests than we have.
In point of fact, we have no substan-
tial interest in the greater part OF
South America, and it is an imperti-
hence for us to limit the action there
of the nations who have. Mr.. Well
man suggests that the application OF
the doctrine be limited to the isthmus
and the Caribbean Sea, where the
world will recognize that our interests,
present and prospective, give us title
to exclusiveness, and he thinks that
in that shape the doctrine might soon
become part of international law.
His version of the amended doctrine
would be as follows:
GAS the chief political and CONNER
cial power of the Western Hemisphere
the United States could not view in
any other light than as indicating an
unfriendly disposition toward the
United States an attempt on the part
of any European power to control the
destiny or seize the territory of any
nation upon the two American CONT
nents, unless such attempt were iusti
fed by the circumstances surround
ing it, judged by the rules of enlight
ened international morality; and the
United States reserves the right to
refuse its assent to any political
weighing the conditions with due
regard to it's own interests, the rights
of the European governments which
may be involved, and the welfare and
happiness of the American peoples
most directly concerned. Inasmuch
as the government of the United
States is now proceeding to the con-
struction of an isthmian canal con-
Meeting the waters of the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans, in that enterprise
investing large sums of money and
undertaking permanent responsible
tiles of Importance not only to the
people of the United States, but to
the whole world, the United States
cannot assent, under any circum-
stances whatever, to the acquisition
by any European or Asiatic power of
territory lying upon the isthmus of
Darien or bordering the shores of the
Caribbean Sea-"

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.

''Shall the Monroe Doctrine Be
Modifed?" is the question to which
Mr.. Walter Wellman addresses him
self in the December number of the
North American Reries0. To begin
with, Mr.. wellman contends that the
conditions which existed when the
doctrine was enunciated have passed
away, and that we are now confronted
by a European holy alliance or q
necessity ofsafe- guarding republican
ism against the designs of absolutism,
many of the monarchies IN Europe

! Nicaraguan route and Senator Nor
gan has already introduced his bill
providing for its construction.
In view of the fact that at the ex-
piration of fifty years the original
cost of thu Nicaraguan route, plus the
increased cost of maintenance for
that period, will have equalled the
total cost of the Panama route il it
were chosen and that subsequent to
that time the United States would be
relieved of an annual expense of
81 300, 600; that vessels would find a
harbor at either end of the canal and
that the time consumed in traversing
the Nicaraguan canal will amount to
thirty three hours as against twelve
hours for the Panama canal, it would
seem difficult to understand the
grounds on which the commission
recommends the former route. A
further consideration should not be
lost sight of however, and that is that
the French company holds out for a
price approximately s70,0O0,000 in
excess of the amount at which the
commission values the work done.
In view of this fact a reasonable sur
mise is that the commission and con-
gress intend to proceed with the pre-
liminaries looking to the construction
of the Nicaraguan canal with the
hope that it may induce. the French
owners of the Panama route to listen
to reason and accept the commits
sion's valuation of $40, 900, 900 on their
plant. If they can be induced to do
this the total cost of the canal would
not exceed, assuming that the COM
missions estimates are correct, $780,
10000 0, and an annual saving of
81, 300, 900 would have been effected.

occasion to remark of vermont's room
In the New England building:
1.-THE atmosphere of the place is
savored strongly with the New Eng
land Of the past. It seems as If it
were the aim OF the Vermont commits
sioners to turn the attention of the
world backward to remind it that it
is not so much what Vermont is or
has to day, but what she was and did
that entities her to reverence :"
The candid criticism is possibly
worthy of careful consideration.
While Vermonters ought never to
forget or allow the world to forget
the past grand record of their little
state, is it not possible that it's achieve
ments are sometimes emphasized at
the expense of it's future progress?
The country is going forward with a
wonderful growth and if Yer mont in
tends to keep step with her sister
states she must accomplish new
things, by further developing her inn
mense resources and discarding any
traditions that will interfere with her
forward movement. 1t is by TAXI ng
advantage of existing conditions and
making new opportunities that prog
ress is developed. Vermont must and
will, it is believed, do these things

BRADSTREET'S VERMONT IRA
REPORT.
TRADE

10ero continues 10 D0 SOOu uC-
mand for many lines of manufactured
goods made in the state. The weather
has been favorable for the lumber
business, and considerable snow has
fallen, sufficient in some places for
shedding logs but most places still
require more snow for lumber opera
tions. The granite business in Barre
and vicinity is more quiet now than
has been reported for several months.
The manufacturers who have been
unable to secure complement of work
men in the past can now employ as
much help as they require as it is
understood there ere quite large
number of granite cutters idle. This
condition is somewhat usual at this
time of year and no particular i'm
provement is expected until after the
holidays when prospects are regarded
as more favorable. No labor trouble
is reported in the state. Snow and
colder weather has stimulated retail
business in Burlington which is
reported good, jobbers are busy and
the manufacturing concerns and mills
are doing well, lumber business is
active, prices are firm, and collections
are satisfactory. Manufacturing in
terests are reported to be fairly we'll
employed in Brattleboro, with retail
trade and collections fair, and weather
conditions favorable for business.
Montpelier reports retail trade and
collections good: cold weather, with
sufficient snow to enable lumbermen
to start operations in the woods, has
improved the lumber business and
helped trade in other lines. The mills
at Bennington are fairly busy, retail
trade good, owing to cold weather,
and collections fair; the lumber bus.-
ness is excellent in this vicinity.
Business in all lines at Bellows Falls is
good, the paper mills are doing well
and the retail trade is active, with
collections good; more snow is needed
for lumber operations although con-
siderable snow has already fallen. In
st. Johnsbury manufacturing business
continues active, retail trade and

a good fall of snow enabling lumber
men TO move logs by sleds and farmers
to market wood and hay. The slate
business is good at Fair Haven with
prospects favorable and prices more
firm: The quarries and mills are busy,
retail trade and collections good, and
labor we'll employed. Hardwick re-
ports the local manufacturers to be as
well employed usual at this time of
year. Retail trade is little dull at
present on account of unfavorable
weather, with collections fair. Man
ufacturing business is very good at
Dandy and orders are plenty. The
weather has been particularly favor
able for lumber and wood business
which are the principal industries OF
the place; retail trade about as usual
and collections fair. Business in gen.
eral is good at Waterbury; there is
considerable snow which is favorable
| for the lumber trade. The granite
! manufacturers at Mortified are show
ing the seasonable depression of
that industry. Otherwise business at
that point is of about usual volume.

said that all the leading magazines of the
countr.- have entered protests against the
master Generals order. He said that the
grounds upon which they base their pro-
tests are that the Postmaster General eX-
ceeded his authority when he framed the

Mr.. Victor said that the matter would be
brought to the attention of Congress,

MAY BREvET Err. ROOSEVELT.
In Capacity of Volunteer Colonel, the
President May he HenOred.

When the board of army officers meets
in Washington on Monday next to pass
upon certain recommendations for promo
tions, medals, and other honors. one of
the first things which it will in all prob
ability do will be to determine whether
President Roosevelt shall be given brevet
of briGadIer general of volunteers-a rank
| far below that which he now holds-for
services performed during the Spanish
American war before Santiago. and for
the campaign which resulted in the cap
ture of San Juan hill.
] At the same time the board of officers
may recommend that a medal of honor
be granted Col Theodore Roosevelt Tho
medal and the brevet rank will be given
TO Mr.. Roosevelt as colonel of the Rough
Riders, and not as the Executive of the
United States.
The high Office to which he has risen
since 1898 will have nothing to do with
the action Of the board. The officers will
consider the question in an impartial man
ner. and should the honors be given the
President. it will be for his military SER
vices rendered the country. entirely dis
tinct from any later services of states
manship
The board vii; simply be obliged to sit
in judgment upon the acts performed long
before Mr.. Roosevelt became President.
So far as the board is concerned the
President is simply a colonel of vOlun-
teers who has rendered good services to
his country. Major General Macarthur
is president of the board which has been
named.
Colonel Sanger. the Acting Secretary of
War, said that he had not learned of the
contemplated honor for President Roose-
welt. IF the board makes such a recon-
mendation," he said, lit will not make
any statement concerning it until the
time is ripe for the decision"
When Adjutant General Corbin was ask
ed about the matter. he expressed sur
prise. He did not know that the board
would consider the name of President
Roosevelt in this connection. The Presi-
dent will be on the same footing other
colonies of volunteers" he said. IF there
is anything N this l have not heard of
it,
Should the recommendation be made
President Roosevelt will be the first Chief
Magistrate ever called upon to sign his
own commission.
