ENGLAND ANNOUNCES
A MONROE DOCTRINE
Foreign Secretary Lansdowne
Proclaims Such a Policy
in the Persian Gulf

London. May Foreign Secretary
Lansdowne has proclaimed British
Monroe Doctrine in the Persian Gulf,
and has practically notified the COM
peting Powers that any attempt on
their part to establish a naval base
or fortified post in those waters means
war with Great Britain.
81 say without hesitation" said the
Foreign Secretary, dealing with the
subject in the House OF Lords, that
we should regard the establishment Of
a naval base or a fortified port in the
Persian Gulf by any other Power as a
very grave menace to British interests,
and we should certainly resist it with
all the means at our disposal"
Lord LansdOwne contended that so
far as the navigation of the Persian
Gulf was concerned. Great Britain held
q position different to that of the other
Powers. both because It was owing to
British enterprise and expenditure of
life and money that the gulf was now
open to the commerce of the world and
because the protection Of the sea route
to India necessitated British predomi-
nance in the gulf
Lord Lansdowne's attitude in this
matter generally meets with approval,
although 1he answers thereto Of the
other Powers interested in the gulf are
awaited with some anxiety.

no oHANon A cHuRoHs NAME

Yesterday ane convention OF the dio-
cese Of Pennsylvania took decided
stand against the proposition to
change the name Of the Protestant
Episcopal Church. While this matter
has been discussed for a number Of
years. the Pennsylvania diocese is the
first to declare itself as "a body.
A majority Of those advocating a
change Of name wish TO see included
IN the official title OF the church the
word Catholic claiming that this
would suggest historical accuracy. OF
course this is controverted. by both
members Of this church and OF other
religious bodies. II is urged. and with
reason. that the word Catholic In an
ecclesiastical sense has acquired a spe-
cial meaning. and is used popularity to
designate that great body OF which the
Pope is the head. Another catholic
church, even with a prefix or a suffix
would cause confusion without any
compensating result.
It Is almost an axiom that a man
makes his own name; that is, his
name comes to stand FOR his character
and disposition. Occasionally a person
applies to Legislature for a change
Of name, but there is usually a sus'
picion that there is something in hii
life that he wishes to forget along witt
the old appeIlaton. SO there is a sus
picion that the desire for the insertion
OF the word "Catholic" grows out o
a leaning towards the rites and form
Of that church which now bears tina
name.
In England there is no evidence Of
purpose Of those Of this communion I
change the title OF the church. Ye
that title in itself is equivalent to IN
word Protestant The Church q
England" means that religious bod
which repudiates any spiritual or ten
poral authority outside Of the empir
and, hence. since she once owned
such authority, her restricted appells
tion shows that she is Protestant

pairs of veritablc boats as she called
them, much to the amusement of two
Englishwomen customers seated near
by, who regarded her through their
'starers' as if she were some strange
animal in a menagerie.
Finally the clerk said apologetically

GUS one to Northampton people. From
the best information we can get, fully
oue-fourth Of the school children are
kept away from school on account OF
the bad condition Of the roads. Farm
ers cannot haul the products Of their
farms to market, and many industrial
enterprises have had to suspend work,
throwing q number Of men out of en-
ployment at a time when they most
need to work. Not only this, but at
tendance at the churches on Sundays
has greatly decreased from the same
cause, to say nothing Of the damage
to vehicles and the great hardship and
cruelty to the horses and mules COM
PEELED to draw loads over such roads"
From the Pittsburg Kansan: The
farmers have been unable to market
their products. the coal haulerS have
had terrible time getting over the
roads and have raised the price Of coal,
and the consumers are paying for the
poor roads which checker this coun-
try"
From the Nashville CTenn.) Ameri-
can: bad roads? Well. Humphreys
county has more than her share Of
them Just now In some places, eSpc.
cially in Big Bottom, along and near
the Duck and Tennessee rivers, 1t Is
almost impossible for people to travel
in buggies or wagons. 1t takes four
mules most Of the time to pull a two
mule load Of anything. Thousands Of
barrels Of corn and sacks Of peanuts
are yet to be hauled to the river and
railroads besides thousands Of logs.
Gloss ties and stave timber that can't
be marketed because Of the wretched
condition of the public highways"
From the Easton (ldD Democrat:
LAST week q prominent farmer was
met hauling q half cord Of wood with
four horses. and when asked why he
trudged along in the mud said he was
afraid to ride on the wagon for fear
his team might be mired. 1t cost that
farmer more to deliver that load Of
wood than it was worth, and the haul
was over leading thoroughfare Of tn"
county and not upon side road used
by few people"
That this need not be the case is
shown by the following reference to a
New Jersey road in Lippincott' Maya
zine: Formerly it took wagon weigh
ing 1900 pounds. with four horses and
two men. to haul two and half tons
Of produce to market from a Camden
county farm and bring back load Of
fertilizer Of the same weight, and then
they were whole day doing it. Often
enough the wagon got mired. and then
It took more than a day. Over one Of
the new roads 1t now takes only one
man, two horses and a wagon weigh
ing 1900 pounds to carry load Of
four tons to market and bring another
load Of the same weight back, and the
round trip is made in half day"
