BRITISH view or MONROE Docre1E

BRITISH VIEW or MONROE DOCTRINE.
The leading London papers are quite
satisfied with President Roosevelt's
Interpretation of the Monroe doctrine,
which one of them regards as meaning
that British possessions In the Amer
icas are to be secured by what is prac-
tically an American guaranty. This
seems a somewhat strained construc-
ton Of the presidents language, but the
inference is allowable that there is no
intention on the part of this country to
interfere with any British possession In
this hemisphere, or indeed with that of
any other European country. What they
have got here they will be permitted
to retain, but they must not attempt
to secure additional territory.
The London Times takes the view
which is doubtless held by nearly all
intelligent Englishmen, that the policy
involved in "Monroeism'' is one to which
Great Britain has no right to take ex-
ceptiOn and no interest in obstructing.
1t is manifestly rather in the interest Of
that country to sustain the United
States In u~pholding the Monroe doctrine
and this it would probably be found pre-
pared TO do IL an exigency should ever
arise requiring it. However, the danger
Of such an exigency is extremely remote,
for as another London paper remarks
no European power will risk the ire
mendous chances Of a war with the
United States, be the prize never 80
seductive. Mr.. R~ooseyelt's definition Of
Monroeism is moderate and conserva-
tive. 1t offers no warrant to any indie
pendent government in this hemisphere
to violate it's international duties and
obligations. But it plainly sets forth
the determination of the United States
to oppose any European aggressions
with a view to territorial acquisition in
this part Of the world.

POLITICS IN THE FAR WEST.
Mountain States Swinging Back into
the Republican Ranks.
St. Louis Globe-D Democrat.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat
The states Of the Rocky mountain region
and the Pacific slope are this year taking
a more active interest in politics than
usual. The republicans Of Colorado, wyo-
ming, Utah, Nevada, Idaho and Washing
ton are showing a zeal in the canvass
which promises good results. Some Of these
states elect state officers in addition to
the members Of congress which are to be
chosen in all OF them. Oregon had its cleo
tion in June and the great majority which
was rolled up for the republican candi-
dates for congress In that typical far west
ern state indicates that this is to be a
good year for the republicans OF the noun
tain region and the Pacific coast.
Colorado is swinging back to its old
place in the republican column. and there
are prospects tina it will arrive In this
election. The 1876, 900 plurality which Bryan
received in that state In 1895 was cut to
$4,000 in 1900. His party's margin is likely
to vanish in 1909. Wyoming, which went
to Bryan in 1896, was won back in 1900,
and it can be relied on to give a good sized
majority for the republicans in the vote
on congress in November. Washington,
which also went astray in 1896. returned
to the republicans two years ago and will
be with them this year. The republicans
regained Utah In 1900, which was almost
unanimously for Bryan four years earlier.
Idaho has been democratic or fusionist
for half a dozen years. This time the
republicans have a chance to carry It.
Senator Stewart. who knows Nevada poll
tics as well as does any man in the United
States, says Nevada will be regained by
the republicans In 1902.
All over the far west the outlook for the
republicans is bright. OF course the gem
eral prosperity throughout the country
will count everywhere in favor OF the
party which brought II, but II will be par
tieularly potent in the states OF the noun
tain region and the Pacific coast. The
irrigation act. which President Roosevelt
recommended In his message TO congress
last December and which a republican
congress passed. win be Of special benefit
to most Of those states. Already business
in them has been faVorably affected by this
act, although a year or two must pass
before It can fairly be put in operation
anywhere. The reports which are coming
from our %neighbors on the ~country's sun
set verge are particularly favorable 70 the
republican party.

stripe who bear to the republican party
a relation perilously similar to that
borne by Benedict Arnold toward the revo-
lutionary army. The desire Of all sincere
republicans is to convert or bring back re-
calStrant and disguised voters TO the end
that the whole state and nation maj be
benefited by republican legislation and a
republican executive. But what success
can be expected in this direction by a mere
reiterstion OF party principles when the
workers among the rank and file are handi-
capped by a horde Of self-seekers In high
places whose only accepted motto lie Any
thing to win7"
Unfortunately the practice OF dirty poll
tics is not confined to the Second district,
nor to any one locality in the state. Dis
reputable methods and dlsgraceful alliances
prevade the whole political atmosphere.
Shameful p-reconvention deals are made,
candidates are frequently nominated for a
consideration, as often as not In the rear
end OF a saloon or some rascally politicians

fealty are thrown to the winds and noml-
nees VIGOROUSLY Incompetent or morally
disqualified are saddled onto the republican
party mainly for the purpose Of downing"
the men who are actuated in politics by q
sincere desire to see the party practice
what It breaches. A reform can be effected
by a general attendance at the party pri-
maries, but until this is brought about
there is no surer way Of frustrating the
pernicious designs OF crooked politicians
than for republican country papers to do
as The Omaha Bee is doing-tell the truth

date when he happens to be folsted upon
them.

There is talk about a money stringency
en- account Of the crop movement in the
west. But the talk has not the slightest
chance to materialize. More money is in
circulation in the United States now than
ever before. The west has more Of 1t than
1t has ever had In the past. The east is
well supplied. OF course, the crops in the
aggregate are likely to break all the records
in their magnitude. but the treasury and
the banks are we'll provided with cash.
