the organ of the dwindling and
wholly unintluential class of Bour-
bounced John Bull, says:
The statement that the United
States will only interfere to pre-
vent loss of territory to European
power is en- idle boast, and must
remain so so long as the United
States does not possess a navy
equal to the combined navies of
the great powers of Europe.
In the nearly eighty years since
the Monroe doctrine was proclaim
ed the United States has never

Our navy now is much smaller

Why in all these years has no

lish new colonies in this hemls-
phere? Why did France get out
of Mexico? Why do England and

much emphasis any intention OF
acquiring territory in Venezuela or
even of occupying it temporarily?
Was it, or is it, through fear of our
navy?

This country has now very re-

ding to it as fast as it Is wise when
naval vessels are apt to become
at least semi-obsolete in five years
time. The appropriations for ma
val support and construction have
increased from S3O.0O0,0O0 to

material resources and moral au-
thority of a nation with which nei
ther can afford to quarrel, and tina,
is something worth remembering
when pessimists croak about the
conversion of Venezuela into an
other Egypt. or forecast with elias
tic imagination the invasion OF
Brazil by Germany or the cou-
quest of Argentina by Italy.
European prejudice against the
cardinal principle of American
diplomacy will be disarmed by the
measures adopted for enforcing
financial morality in the southern
half of the continent and for regu-
lating international processes OF
distraint. The Monroe doctrine
is something more than an Aueri-

can interest. 1t is one of the safe
guards of the worlds peace, for il
helps to keep in balance the forces

vert after etfectually discrediting
American prestige in Brazil and
the Sanish republics. The worst
possible construction was placed
upon what was obviously an in
genious attempt on the part of the
German Emperor to demonstrate
mis- friendiiness to the American
people. The pessimists were con-
vinced that he was conspirator
against the peace of the Western
Hemisphere, and that he had sue
ceeded in making easy dupes of
Mr.. Balfou. aud Lord Lansdowne
and in committing them in ad-
vance TO an insidious plot against
an important British interest-the
Monroe doctrine.
These vagaries of British dis
trust of Germany are not without
value and utility when the Mon
roe doctrine is accepted as an
Anglo American affair. 1t was so
eighty years ago when a British
statesman, George Canning, either
suggested the idea or encouraged
John Quincy Adams to prepare
the first draft of the famous declar-
alton of President Monroe. 1t re-
mained an Anglo-American inter-
est even when historians like Mr..
Froude drew parallel line be-
tween it and the papal bull which
proclaimed that Spaniards alone
should own territory west of the

it has gone, has offered striking

Anxious That Monroe Doctrine
be Preserved.

Special cable to New Orleans Times-D Democrat.
London, Jan. 3.-As regards
Nenezuela, the most interesting
suggestion of the moment comes
from a distinguished French dip
Iomatist in close touch with the
French Ministry, who indicates
the futility of The Hague arbitra-
ton unless means be taken TO com
pei NeneZuela to execute the
award. He suggests that The
Hague tribunal invite the interest
ed powers to establish an interna-
tional commission of financial con-
troll, similar to that created to
Greece. The commission would,
Of course, be temporary, and its
task limited to the payment of The
Hague awards, but the effect
would be most wholesome upon
South end Central American
States, who will act in future
under the shadow of the possibil-
ity of similar treatment. Seeing
the high source of this proposal,
the possible significance of it is
undoubted.-
British solicitude respecting the
preservation of the Monroe doc
trine is one Of the strangest anom-
allies of the Venezuelan affair.
When the dual alliance for mari
time police work was announced
there WAS serious misgiving lest
England had been drawn into an
European conspiracy against the
United States; and even when evil
dence was supplied that the Wash
iugton government had been con
sidered at every stage, there were
protests against a coalition which
might ultimately raise the Monroe
question in subtle aud danger
Gus way.
The British Foreign Office
promptly supported the German
Emperor's suggestion that the
best method of dispensing with
guarantee for the payment of the
award would be the choice of
President Roosevelt as arbitrator.

Candidates Trust.

In this age Of the world it is
quite the general thing for those
whose interests are similar TO form
combinations and by trust methods
attempt To force those on the out.
side TO accede to their demands,
There was q time vi hen trusts were
peculiar to men of capital only
who sought to control the price OF
commodities, labor. transportation,
etc, TO turn more dollars into their
pockets; but now the evil has in
vaded every field and attempts TO
control legislation and public
opinion, as well as every business
interest.
The latest and most novel move
Of the trust, however, Is its inno-
vation among the candidates for
State office in Mississippi. 1t is
reported that number Of these
aspiring gentlemen will form a
com bination to regulate the price
Of their announcements in the
newspapers. The plan proposes
that fifty or sixty of them will com
bine and bunch their announce
ments in such newspapers as will
publish them for the pitiful sum
of one dollar per candidate.
No censure could attach to these
gentlemen for planning to make
their canvass AT as small cost as
possible, but when they seek to
attain economy by resorting to
pernicious trust methods to de-
press the price of any commodity
that has value in the market.
their act is open TO criticism and
deserving of condemnation. 1t is
the right of any candidate to- an
nounce in the newspapers, or not,
as he sees fit, and to conduct his
canvass in any way that his judg-
ment suggests is to his advantage.
So long as he does this outside of
a trust, no one could object, but
when he joins himself to others in
a strong com bination to coerce
even so small a thing as the price
OF an announcement fee. the press
and the people will repudiate the
act because il smacks of trusts
and their hellish methods.
These candidates are Democrats,
pledged to oppose every character
OF com oine, and yet they will form
a trust to force cheap rates in the
newspapers, just a ether trusts do
to raise or lower values of any
kind in the markets
Tho attitude they have assumed
is 20 Inconsistent that it would
give the people the jim jams to al
tempt To- understand it, hence it
were we'll to look outside of the
candidates trust for men to elect
To Office.
The press of the State has been
indifferent aS TO whether .hese
candidates announce or not and
has made no effort TO fix uniform
fee. but has left each paper to- fix
"A rate of its own. LIN view of this
fact, it becomes ugly for the can
didates To agree among themselves
not to announce, or to announce
in gangs of fifty at one dollar each.
No self-respecting newspaper
would humble itself TO such high
handed demands. nor will ii suffer
the candidates who have combined
not to announce 10 be railroaded
through its columns.
Further, no newspaper can be
fair and announce candidate for
State office for less than it charges
