The Monroe Doctrine.

Surely we shall have no more inquiries
from across the water on the subject of the
Monroe doctrine. If its meaning Is not
plain now it never can be made plain by
word of mouth or stroke Of PEN But its
meaning Is plain. Great Britain and Ger
many, by consulting us before moving on
Venezuela. showed not only full knowledge
of the doctrine, but a disposition at this
time to respect 1t. Not since the doctrine
was first proclaimed. indeed, has 1t ever
counted for more than at this moment.
With American sentiment, fortified by
Americas present power. solidiy behind 1t
and the two most advanced of the trans
Atlantic nations walking guardedly in the
light of an explanation sought by them as
to the limit 1t imposes. nothing remains
to be done by us but to stand where we are.
And that, of course, is the intention Of the
administration.
Clearer. too than ever before is the real
meaning of the doctrine in the Central and
South American countries. 1t SO turns out
that as much light on the subject was
needed there as for awhile was needed
across the Atlantic. Surprise was ex-
pressed that we did not stay the hands Of
Great Britain and Germany, and forbid the
collection of their claims against Vene-
roe doctrine was absurd. But, not unlikely,
while it prevailed it did us and those who
made it a great deal of harm. For all we
know, 1t lies at the bottom of the present
difficulty. Who shall say how much of the
indifference and procrastination exhibited
by Venezuela on the subject of her debts
has been due to a feeling that she could
not be proceeded against with energy by
her foreign creditors in their collection?
Everybody therefore is better informed
today on this subject than ever before. The
Monroe doctrine means the same thing
everywhere. The object sought has not
been changed In the seventy years of its
existence. 1t is still the determined purpose
Of this government to prevent the acquisi-
ton in this hemisphere Of any additional
territory by the powers Of Europe. The
Monroe doctrine has never gone further,
and never will go further. Why should it?
How endless indeed would be the embar-
easements If we should take such stand as
would be tantamount to protecting any Of
our southern neighbors against processes
designed for no other purpose than to bring
about settlement Of just dues after pa
thence and orderly overtures have failed!

Strikes and Violence.

There Is no good reason to doubt the
truth Of the stories related to the strike
commission at Scranton last week about
violence committed In the anthracite coal
regions during the contest between the
miners and the mine owners. They agree
with our everyday knowledge of human ma
ture and with a good deal of recorded his
tory.
Let us consider the case of a town OF
twenty thousand people, whose principal
industry is coal mining. While the mines
are in operation and business is good every
body is in cheerful and contented frame
of mind. The wage-earners go regularly
from home to work, and after work return
home again. There is good order in the
community. There is no excuse for any
thing else The man who breaks the peace
at such a time is simply some constitu-
tional rowdy, or some slave of drink. There
is nothing to provoke the people as a class
to hatred or disorder.
But let the business of that community
come suddenly to halt as the result of an
angry difference between the men who
earn and the men who pay wages, and in
stantly the whole order of the community
Is upset. Everybody Is idle except with his
tongue. Every topic is banished except the
one which provokes passion. The home life
is broken up. Heads of families congregate
on street corners and elsewhere. and heated
discussions are continuous. The younger
men crowd the saloons and befuddle them
selves with fighting whisky. Violence is
inevitable. Conditions of all kinds are
favorable to it, And when it begins, those
who most deplore it and see more clearly
how injurious it is to the cause of labor
are the most powerless to check it. 1t runs
its course like a disease.
There has just been exploded some very
learned talk about pacific blockade" 1t
is now agreed that there Is no such thing.
A blockade carries with 1t everything that
may appear to be necessary to make it
success. 1t may be said, too, that pacific
st rike, where the feeling Is bitter and large
numbers of men are involved, is impossi-
sible. The most earnest and sincere in
structions Of the leaders for order are GER
tain to be violated A small minority of
hot-headed members Of any organization
can at such a time bring about such disor
der as reflects gravely upon everybody in
int crest. For this reason strikes are always
to be deplored, and every effort should be
made to prevent them.

spite the cost Of transportation. than In
the home market.
Under these circumstances the public
will be more eager than ever to obtain a
reliable statement from the trust as to
what 1t proposes to do now that oil has
become a necessity as never before, and
will remain such for several months. If
the company will grant no assurance of ad-
justing the rates to the cost, as it has pre-
sumably done in the past, will offer no
more reasonable explanation than the
broad claim Of irresponsible agents that
the cost has increased. and will not explain
the difference between the domestic and
the export rates, then the people must
conclude that the corporation has added to
the price of late simply because 1t has the
power and desires the extra profits. In
other words, because 1t chooses to squeeze
the people little tighter, having them
within its grip.
Such a demonstration by this most COM
pact Of all the American trusts will be in
structive and perhaps eventually destruc-

Marconfs announcement that he has sue
eeeded in transmitting complete messages
across the Atlantic by means Of his wire
less system has been expected for some
time, ever since he started work afresh at
his station In Nova Scotia, in fact. When
he discontinued his experiments there last
season he had accomplished the remarkable
though not convincing feat Of sending one
signal, and that of the simplest character,
between Table Head and Poldhu, which
demonstrated that the curvature Of the
earth was not prohibitive of trans-oceanlc
communication by means Of the etheric
waves which Marconi ut1izes in his system
But indeed that fact had been at least
partly proved previously by the transmits
sion of messages between ships more than
a hundred miles apart and therefore many
times hull down."
1t is noteworthy that Marconi has at n
time promised more than he has later
achieved, nor has he pushed ahead taste.
than his preparedness warranted. 1t Is
perhaps due to this conservatism in expert
menting and announcement that the public
is today ready to accept his statements
without reserve. In a remarkably short
time. considering the magnitude of the task
he has, demonstrated that electricity does
not require metallic conductors in the dis
patch Of signals, apparently regardless OF
distance.
1t now remains for Marconi. having
proved the scientific success Of his method
to demonstrate its commercial success To
achieve the latter he must show that he
can maintain his currents without consid-
ering the elements. and tha4 be can dis-

patch messages not only speedily but
secretly. To the lay mind 1t would seem
comparatively easy for an eavesdropper to
secure any information which might be in
course Of transmission over the Marconi
system, If provided with a tremendously
tuned" receiver. 1t has been claimed by
Marconi that he has solved this phase of
the problem. Actual working tests OF the
system on a commercial basis will best es-
tablish its reliability and security from
