A young fellow by the name of Geo
ID. Kendrick, who worked for the
Santa Fe here a year or more ago, was
arrested Tuesday morning for obs
tanning money under false pretenses.
He gave Bert Dawson a check for So
to pay bill of 81 % and got rs cents
in change. AT gunsmiths on Main
street he bought u $I4 revolver, pay
ing for it also with check. At
Lundblade s. Bolinger's one of the
clerks who knew him thought he was
all right. and the firm cashed a check
for him for $40. The checks were all
worthless, as he had no money in the
bank drawn upon. His operations
were conducted Monday evening, and
from here he went over to Hoisington,
where the sheriff found him. The
revolver and most of the SO were re.
covered.

MONROE DOCTRINE MAPPING.

II appears reasonable enough 20 Of
fer the excuse that the United states
has no right to interfere with the col
lection of just debts from Venezuela
by Great Britain and Germany even by
occupation OF her ports.
Making war, or bluffs, has been the
accepted method Of international debt
collections for many ages.
But II is well to inquire what the
occupation OF a country, OF a part
thereof. by a creditor nation. on a
pretex Of collecting a debt, is apt to
lead to- Generally II has led to pcrman-
ent occupation.
Assuming that IT may possibly be
SO In the case OF Venezuela, at what
point can the United States now step
in and assert the Monroe doctrine?
The right OF occupation for the sake
Of collection having been conceded In
this case by the nation, who Is to say
that the collection shall not be def
nitely delayed and the occupation con
tinue forever?
And the precedent being established
for occupation on such grounds, what
is to hinder these same European pow
ers, or any others. at any time. taking
like foothold in any Central or South
American republic2
or course England and Germany
mean 10 act honorably.
SO did England, France and Spain
mean to act honorably when, osten.
sibly to collect debts, they seized
Vera Cruz, and Napoleon TIT. with that
foothold, proceeded 10 the conquest of
the Mexican republic.
And the world has not changed.
We have today, before om' own eyes
the example of Egypt. which was oc.
cupied by the British as debt collectors
and which they still retain in spite of
all promises to evacuate
Privilege to effect lodgment on Amer
lean soil having now been conceded to
European powers, they are hereafter
free TO select their own excuse for oc.
cupation and consult their own con.
venience in evacuating.
Any power is henceforward free
to trump up a claim against Brazil
or Argentina, take possession and so
control the finances as to indefinitely
delay the payment and prolong the
occupation.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1902-12-18

The delegates TO the Adrmore con
vention have for several weeks been
kept busy explaining how II happened.
The charge has been made and sus-
tanned by producing set after set of
resolutions indorsed by The people as
sembled in general convention that
the people of this country have never
asked for statehood. II was made
very clear in the Ardmore convention
that the people preferred statehood,
but at that particular time the idea
prevailed that single statehood could
not be secured and the convention de-
clared itself in line with the minority
which Mr.. Moon proposed to
give us. The mistake has been made
very evident by later developments in
the matter of statehood legislation
and the delegates have been trying TO
explain why they indorsed one plan
when they had preference for another.
II is very clear now that II the ma
iority and minority report had been
put together declaring preference for
union with Oklahoma hrst, and in the
event that such union could not be
secured, then giving preference to the
Moon bill Ger the prpesent status of
affairs there would have arisen no oc-
casion for any explanations and the
minority report of the senatorial com.
mittee would not have such a basis
for its assertion that our people had
never asked for statehood
