spread by their own force and attracted
humanity He emphasized the broad rec
ogniton recently given to the Monroe
doctrine by foreign powers, and then re-
ferred to another principle kindred to
that OF the Monroe doctrine, developed In
more recent years"
| This principle, according to Representa-
tive Cannon, is the idea suggested by
Secretary Blaine when Garfield was in
the White House, that there be Con-
gress of American nations to consider
policies of general interest and welfare
in the western hemisphere. Blaines idea
was that the position of the United States
as the dominating power in the new
world might well give to its government
claim to authoritative uttcrances for
| the purpose of doing away with disquict-
ing discord among its neiEhbors.
1t transpires that Mr. Blaine's idea was
| followed to degree not generally recog-
nizcd in the establishment of the Cuban
republic in the foreign affairs of which
we still have an important voice. I'm my
judgment" said Mr.. Cannon. Cuba will
prosper and is prospecting under the new
government as never before, and who
knows but that in the providence of God
the other republics on this continent will
follow that example and ask the United
States to extend the Platt amendment
as it has the Monroe doctrine as far south
as Cape Horn?"
If these utterances on the part of
Uncle joe Cannon mean anything,
they indicate that as speaker he will not
be hostile to any legislation looking in
the direction of the extension of the prin-
ciple of the Plat amendment" to other
republic on the American continent which
will mean our moral control of every ma
ton that comes under the influence OF
that principle.
Every man who has studied the history
and progress and present status of the
Monroe doctrine, will recognize the fact
that it will he an extremely difficult thing
for any foreign power to differcntiate be-
tween that principle and the extension of
our moral control over our American
neghbors. Under this process of "benev-
client assimilation we do not interfere
with the political government or the ter
ritorial integrity of any neighborng ma
ton, but as we raise our voice to pro-
tect our neighbors from foreign encroach-
ment it is but a step to the using OF
that voice to prevent them from precip-
tatinS us into unpleasant predicaments.

How the Seining Of Forty Fishermen is
Running One OF Lake Champlain's
Attractions.
Burlington, April %, 1908.

Burlington, April -, 1908.
TO the Editor of the Free Press
The letter on the fish question published
in your issue of April 2Sth and signed
"M.sissQuoi," while stating valuable
facts, does not put the situation quite
clearly. Its purpose, as stated in its
opening lines, seems to be to excuse and
defend the commissioners, but the effect
of the facts stated Is rather to condemn
them.
The intention of all the laws regulating
the manner of taking fish in Lake Cham
plain is to preserve the fish in such a
way that the supply shall be maintained

diminished If the commissioners charged

he perfectly plain to any one that in
creasng the number of seine licenses and
extending the time during which SEEMING
may be done. does not tend TO increase the
fish supply or to maitain it as it is, but
does tend to decrease it, The commits
eioners have increased the number of
licenses, granting some 40 this year a
larger number than ever before, and they
have extended the time for scining. Oh.
Niously, therefore, they have failed IN
their duty.
THIS should cause an emphatic and wide
spread protest, and actor should be
taken to prevent a repetition of this
waste of fish, II falls we'll within the
purposes OF the Vermont Fish and Game
League to take the matter up. If that
| organization has any reason for being
or any power TO accomplish any thing
now is its time to pursue its purpose and
exercise its power. Charges of corrup

To the Editor of the Free Press:
Tho several articles in the Free Press
on fishing in Lake Champlain are all of
them suggestive.
AS | understand the matter Il am not
a lawyer the fish commissioners are
officers to execute laws for the protection
of fish and game. There was a law pas
sed at our last Legislature which pro-
hibitcd scining in Lake Champlain. but
earnest politics came into play and be-
cause certain would-bc politicians were
not present when the laws were made pro-
hibting SEEMING and they lived on the
border of the lake, the Legislature re-
considered the case. AS it was made to
appear that such law would so mater
tally effect the vote in the sections inter-
ested, that the defeat of the grand old
party was in danger. Fishing was allow

in the British House or Commons, and
passed its second reading by 14 to %
votes. But this does not mean that it
will become a law. 1t has passed its sec
