Again the Monroe Doctrine.

Prof Prince of the chair of international
law at Dickinson College, Pennsylvania,
raises his voice against the Monroe doc
trine. He predicts an approaching crisis
for it. In an address to his class on the
subject the other day he said:
"As a simple statement Of policy the doc
trine is strong, vigorous and uncompromlS-
Ing; but as profession OF cnlvalrous oeVo-
ton to our feebler brethren 1t Is weak. SUI
perfical and insincere, deceiving nobody ex-
cept ourselves. The national consciousness
never reposes in the masses of the people,
but in the minds of the few who exercise
the governing power, and those rev nave
decreased the doctrines perpetuity.
The dispatch which contains this then
proceeds:
PROF. Prince argues that the desire of the
surplus population of Europe for new coun-
try will force the crisis. The United States
occupies impossible position in insisting
upon the inviolabiity of South America
He said a Germanized or AngliciZed South
America is vastly preferable to the present
irresponsible, weak and vicious republics,
which lack honor and stability.
The Monroe doctrine is not keeping 1.-The

large numbers because Of the superior OPP

emigrants from England last year made
their homes in this country. Even Canada
which was under their old flag, was not so
inviting to these men who wanted to I'M
prove their condition. And for many years
to come we shall be able to provide for and
happy to receive the bulk of those who,
tired of the crowded conditions in the old
world seek the elbow room of the new.
America is by no means filled up. we nave
space to spare for millions yet.
But the time will come when the Eu-
ropean tide will turn southwark, and the
resources of those rich countries be de-
yeloped. The Germans and the British VIII
probably help swell the list of the new
corners. and. as they do wherever they CO.
impress themselves upon the local condl-
lions. In this way those countries Will De

But that will be no menace to the United
States. That will not mean German or

extending monarchical power and influence
In this hemisphere, but simply an improve

The Monroe doctrine means not only the
protection. but the Improvement of this
hemisphere. 1t makes it the more attrac-
tive to those who are anxious to exchange
life under the old forms of royalty and
caste for life under new forms of individ-
uality and equality. The greater the i'm
provement in citizenship in Central and
South America the better it will be for the
United States.

ments inimical to us or affording an anti
American raIlying cry by his name. Prop
erly enough therefore, it was decided TO
send him out of the country, and Guam
was chosen. He has been well treated
there.
Absence, however, has produced no
change in the spirit of Mablni. He still re-
fuses to take the oath of allegiance to this
government, and presumably still hopes for
the independence of the Philippine Islands.
But, Notwithstanding this. his American
admirers insist that he should be returned
to Manila and permitted to enjoy freedom.
The fact that he is a paralytic Is dwelt
upon as an additional reason for clemency.
The governments course seems to be the
safe and the just one Mabini Is not prls-
oner in Guam. He is at liberty to leave the
island. He may go to Hong Kong, where
there Is colony of Filipino insurrectos, or
come to the United States and join that
Boston coterie who regard him as greater
patriot than Theodore Roosevelt. But while
he maintains an attitude practically hostile
to the United States in its relation to the
Philippines he must not return there. No
other Filipino insurrecto leader could enter
Manila, say from Hong Kong, without TAX
ing the oath of allegiance Mabini Is the
last of them all in whose favor an excep-
ton of this sort could safely and wisely be
made.
American sovereignty in the archipelago
has been established at considerable cost,
and there is no good reason for humoring
an individual who, however small his pres
ent power may be, would, If he had the
power overturn all that We have accom-
plished there. Mabini in Guam is probably
better off than he would be in Boston.

and to rely upon his natural vitality to re-
store health. But this reliance has been
slender one. especially when the septic
symptoms have appeared after an illness
or some unusual drain upon the vitality.
Thus far the injections of formalin have
wrought only good results, and although
the cases have not progressed to the point
Of actual recovery, the general belief of the
medical observers is that science has scored
heavily once more. Doubtless if it be shown
that formalin has a distinct curative effect
in this disease it will be possible to use II
with the best of results In the early
stages. before the poison has had time
to affect tissues in various parts OF
the body and to drain the patients vitality.
1t is a remarkable circumstance that for
years a preparation akin to fofmalin has
been used in the embalming of bodies. to
arrest decomposition. Thus the same agent
which is employed after death to preserve
the semblance of life is now used to prevent
death itself

The Maracaibo Bombardment.

The German program in Venezuela is be-
yond comprehension. There was no under
standing the principle upon which the Vene-
zuelan warships were destroyed. Nor is 1t
possible to appreciate the motives which
moved the German commander to lombard
the fort at Maracaibo. That was a de-
liberate act of war, unjustihed by any
emergency, and particularly in view of the
tendency Of negotiations for peace. Min
lister Bowen, representing the Venezuelan
government. is about to arrive in Wash
ington for the purpose either of settling the
controversy out of court or of drafting a
protocol for the submission Of the issues
between the powers and Venezuela to The
Hague tribunal. Although the blockade
continues in force, state of truce virtually
exists, and its breach by the bombardment
requires explanation.

Carelessness Rampant.
From the baltimore American


The daily reports of distressing and dis
astrous catastrophes, with which the

seem to prove that carelessness is TODAY

that senfe of precaution which should al

thority appear to have gore upon long va
cations, and the world Is: reaping In dis
aster the fruits of their idleness We have
had within the last few weeks succession
of railroad wrecks, steamboat disasters. ex-
plosions asnd other horrifying accidents. each
and evegy one of which might have bes;,
averted Had ordinary care been exercised
by those. in authority.

Lend Washington $4,000, 900.

From the Chicago Tribune.
There is good sense in Representative
Babcock's bill to authorize the secretary of
the treasury to advance $10,0OO,OOO to the
District of Columbia. The sum is to be
repayabe at the rate of $500 900 per annum
The use of $10.000,G00 now will save Wash
ington as much more in the future Under
the direction CT an expert commission the
capital Of the country is being made into
a modern city. Malarial marshes are being
drained; creditable park system is being
laid OUT the railroad tracks which mar
the centar of the city are to be removed
All this costs money No one will begrudge
Washington loan of SIC, 900 000-especlaliy
al the federal government which defrays
hat the cost of the improvements, will be

ought to be among the few that will be
passed at this session.

The Y. M. C.. AS Golden Jubilee.

Having Just celebrated its own semi-cen-
tenniaI, The Evening Star takes especial
pleasure in extending Fluctuations to the
Young Mems Christian Association of this
District upon it's celebration of half CEN
fury of existence. Especially happy is the
occasion, in view of the fact that at last
nights banquet in commemoration of the
event speeches were made by some of the
countrys most distinguished men, headed
by the President. Washington sets the
pace in many national matters. and 1t is
gratifying TO realize that it possesses so
strong and useful an organization as this
branch of the Y NJ. c. A, of which Mr..
Roosevelt last evening said much that
was encouraging and complimentary.
A community without a Y. NJ. C. A. is to
a certain extent like a rudderless ship. This
institution, spread throughout the length
and breadth Of the land, has served a most
valuable purpose. 1t has directed the ener-
gies and sweetened the lives of hundreds of
thousands OF young men. 1t has contributed
directly thereby to the stability of the
state has fostered the spirit of good citi-
zership, and has greatly raised the stand
ard of manhood. judicious combination
of spiritual and practical guidance has at
tracted hundreds in each city who other
wise might continue to lead lndlnerent lives.
1t has transformed many careless men into
earnest ones, many who have taken the
first step across the line which stretches
between right and wrong living have been
brought back.
A city which cannot support Y. Nj. G.
A. is in need of serious attention. and con-
versely in the degree that the institution IS
supported and developed the city deserves
credit and congratulation. The Washing
ton establishment has passed through sew
eral severe trials. and its development has
been thereby somewhat retarded. Still It
stands today In a condition of excellent
health, with large membership. the active
interest and support of some of the fore
most of the Districts citizens, and an
equipment which needs only enlargement
to meet all present and Immediately pros
pective needs The enterprise now under
way to provide this enlargement will as
suredly be forwarded by last nights re-
markable showing of the institutions value
TO the community and the direct personal
interest taken in it by the national leaders.

A Cure for Blood Poisoning.

The discovery that formalin is a specific
cure for the disease popularity known as
blood poisoning marks another distinct ad-
vance in the battle OF science against the
enemies of human life. The bacillus which
thus affects the blood has thus far resisted
all efforts at cure or removal, and when
once patient has been seized with general
septic symptoms there has been little il any
hope of recovery. The ordinary practice
has been to keep the patient well nourished
