TIE MONROE DOCTRINE.

The Kansas City Star of June 1.
commenting upon Senator Harris
speech in opposition to the govern
ment's Philippine policy, asserts edi-
torialiy that John Quincy Adams and
not James Monroe, was the author CT
the celebrated and historic Monroe
Doctrine. The Star bases its asser-
tion upon the alleged result of an in
vestigation by Charles Francis Adams
and Worthington Ford, into the origin
Of the Monroe Doctrine, which was
published by the Massachusetts, His
torical society.
One of the men engaged in the al
legged investigation is a lineal descend
ant of Mr., Adams and bears his family
name, and his sole authority for the
alleged claim rests upon a personal
diary said to have been kept by his
distinguished ancestor, Ii Mr. Adams
was the real author of the doctrine
and not Mr.. Monroe, the American
people have been singularly misled
and victimled for nearly eighty years.
Another very strange and peculiar
fact substantiative of this position is
the entire absence OF any mention of
Mr. Adams as the author in the eight
or more pages devoted to his life and
public acts in the American Cyclope-
dia a work of acknowledged merit and
ability for impartial and great accu-
racy in research and compilation.
Such omission could not have been
accidental. and 1t is inconceivable
that the eminent writer's engaged IN
the preparation of me work would
have purposely omitted any mention
of the fact had there been In exist
ence the slightest authority for the
claim This view is greatly strength
ened when we consider the excite
ment and jealousy the promulgation
OF the doctrine produced all over Eu-
rope and with what satisfaction It
was received throughout the western
hemisphere.
II is qaite possible that Mr. Adams
drafted the paper for he was Mon
roe's secretary OF state, but that the
doctrine originated with him all the
collateral evidence and circumstances
attending its PRONUNCIATION are aeainst
such a conclusion.
In support OF this contention. which
has been accepted by the American
people for eighty years. the same
eminent work before referred TO. ex-
plicitly credits Mr.. Monroe with its

The recent act OF congress proyid-
ing Tor redistricting the council and
representative districts Of Oklahoma
authorizes the Governor to appoint n
committee OF three men, not more
than two OF whom shall be OF the
same political party, and appropriates
$1,000 to pay the expenses OF the com
mittee.
Too often have members OF such
committees permitted their partizan-
ship TO outweigh their official duties
in constituting these districts and
they nave not sought the convenience
of the people in prescribing their
boundaries, but have distorted them
into all sorts and descriptions OF out
rageous shapes in an attempt to 50
constitute the district that 1t would be
sure to contain a majority OF votes OF
the same political faith as the major
ity Of the committee making sure al.
so not to have an unnecessarily large
majority for the reason that the sur
plus would likely be needed in other
districts.
Some districts are given over as
blonging to the opposite party sad
into these are crowded just as many
townships as possible with the heav-
lest opposing vote.
BY this species of manipulation
known as gerrymandering a party
really in the minority, so far as the
whole number of voters in the state
or territory is concerned, is often en-
abled to perpetuate in the legislature
an unjust control over the majority
The result is disgraceful, incon-
venient arrangement of district boun-

modern geographical and political
map.
The people of Oklahoma generally
want a good, decent arrangement OF
districts in square form as nearly as
practicable and by practicable is not
mean political practicability.
Arrange the districts with a view
to the convenience of the people and
then let the people OF the district de-
eide their own political problems.
Here is a chance for a committee
to do an important public service for
the benefit OF the whole people or
chance to disgrace themselves and the
territory as well, by Juggling with the
rights of the voters.

incalculable good.

Both the information and incentive
could be gained from meetings of the
character proposed and the effects

common school system.
Very much OF the writing and
speaking and theorizing about com
mon schools fails to reach the men
who are primarily their guardians and
upon whom the real authority and
power of the system rests.
1t is not proposed to make school
teachers out of district school boards,
but only to aid in making good school
boards.
This meeting could be held while
the county institute was in sessi0 ]
and would furnish a pleasant social
event as well as afford the boards
and teachers opportunities for making
agreeable and useful acquaintances.

strike the varioss boards the Lead

The number of men thus withdrawn
by their own crimes from active life
and committed to prison indicate a
condition badly in need of remedial
forces both moral and legislative. The
general population of the Chickasaw
nation are peaceable, law abiding cit

of not only the Chickasaw, but all the
five nations has been such as to afford
a good hiding place for lawless and
despotic men.

be driven out is by filing UP with bet

The Chickassw nation is not a bad

It is nothing short of a national

senseless sentimentality and govern

10 the congress, he declared that any

and would be opposed.
The Stars criticism of President
Monroe that he was ''hesitating and
mediocre president" is hardly just in
view of the manifold exalted position
which he held under the government

service he rendered to his country at

for he was neither of these.
The late John Estern Cooke in a
brief summary of the life ana public
services of Mr.. Monroe found in the
same great work heretofore referred
to says Monroe held the reins OF
government at an important period,
and administered II with prudence,
discretion. and single eye 10 the geo-
eral welfare. He went farther than
any Of his predecessors in developing
the resources of the country. He en-
couraged the army increased the
navy. augmented the national defense,
protected commerce, approved OF the
United States bank. and infused vigor
and efficiency in every department OF
the public service. His honesty, good
faith. and simplicity We're generally
acknowledged and disarmed the polit-
ical rancor of his strongest oppon-
ents. Madison thought the country
had never fully appreciated the ro-
bust understanding of Monroe"
"A hesitating and mediocre pres
ident" could hardly have attained to
his exalted position and performed
such distinguished service for his
country, and it is not unfair to his
modern critics who would detract
from his memory and belittle mis- pub
