Col. WATERsoN probably voices
the sentiments of many Americans,
when he advocates breaking loose
from the Monroe Doctrine. 1t is
true that many of our people have
turned against that time-honored
American policy Some because
of horror OF war, with its many
evils, and believing that adherence
to the Monroe Doctrine may finally
entangle us in war with European
powers, would gladly see the Mon
roe doctrine abrogated. Others have
been disguised at the attitude of
the people of the South Amer
lean republican republics who have,
through their press, expressed the
most unfriendly sentiments towards
the United States apparently sus-
pecting every move of this country
as having some base motive. Be
sides, these republics are forever
torn with internal discussion and
civil war, in which damages are
frequently inflicted upon foreign
subjects, thus giving rise to just
claims by foreign powers for res
titution. To endeavor to collect
these claims necessitates a show Of
force, and to apply the Monroe
Doctrine to restrain such ac-
ton may bring the United
States into conflict with an other
wise friendly nation. Thus tc
serve an unfriendly, unworthy and
ungrateful country, we may an,
tagonize a powerful friend, and
possibly become entangled in Z
hostile contest involving a costly
war. IN view of all these things
it is only natural that the Monro'
Doctrine should be regarded Will
disfayor by Americans. Yet, OF
the other hand there are reasons
why the Doctrine should be mair
tanned. In the first place, havinl
taken such a stand as that impli

Beats All Records.

We are just in receipt of a letter
from T. J. Toland, president of the
Wisconsin Business University and
numerous other schools located in
Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Iowa, in
which he advises us that the school
year just closed has been the most
prosperous in the history of the Toland
Universities. For number of years
Mr.. TOland has been advertising in
the weekly press, and each year his
business, not only from this vicinity,
but throughout the entire Northwest
has increased, until today his schools
have national reputation, not only
Oh account of their wonderful growth
but also on account Of the uniform
success of his graduates in securing
desirable positions.
Mr.. TOlaDd has received from tniS
county a liberal patronage and we
have yet to learn Of any Of his gradu-
ateS that have not been eminentIy
successful in securing employment
and in filling positions to the entire
satisfaction of their employers, and
We feel safe in saying that to the
uniform success of his graduates is due
the phenomenal success of the ToIand
Universities.
