THE ;. MONROE 3 DOCTRINE

both continents of America from con-
quest by the thrones of Europe.
Does MIR. Scott question the value of
bluff which commenced to work
when we were weak and puny and has
worked down through the years TO
The argument of MIR. Scott is the
argument of fear He reasons that
we shall have to back do WI some day
or fight, and that we would better
back down before the issue Is raised.
He seems to see, too, Il threat of war
in the Venezuelan situation. But to
our mind the Venezuelan situation
promises nothing SO much as another
triumph for the Monroe doctrine. L!
we read the signs Alright the trouble
will be settled to the satisfaction OF
all concerned without bringing up
any Issue that will involve our great
national policy. England offers To
submit the whole matter to Pres dent
Roosevelt for settlement. That is not
an offer which would be possible if
Great Britain had designs on South
American territory.
The Monroe doctrine of today is
far different from the Monroe dec
trine of seventyfive years ago. Then
it WAS a doctrine of suspicion or
trepidation. We feared that if
Europe were permitted to colonize
surrounding territory she would next
make conquest of the United States
No possible combination of nations
could now make conquest of the biz
republic. We nave gone from a ques-
tiou of self-protection to question
of self-interest, and we must sustain
,, or abandon our guardianship of the
. South American republics purely as
it appears to our advantage ur dis
advantage in the way of commerce.
Sentimentally, we scarcely can Justify
q protectorate over these so-called
democracies. They have had their
chance and they have failed TO estab-
lish and maintain good governments.
Mr.. Scott is probably right in his
view that the condition of any of them
would be improved by the rule of a
| European monarch. But what are
our own interests? Shall we surrend-
er Monroeism and the task OF making
South America ct to live in to our
rivals across the sea?

all parties. This is sample that
furnishes "a good explanation why
more county officers do not take u

wv from, Washington. Congress
man Charles E. Scott says
that the United States should aban-
don the Monroe doctrine. 1T may

which W.. cUuld uever have made good
In the world if England had called
bluff which worked, for it was Il good
thing for us To have u free hand in
this hemisphere until we got y good
grip on things and Gu ourselves.
But what does it mean now. if Ger
many and Eagland, for instance,
should take I, notion to press Us to
the logical conclusion? Why. 1t
means that we must either fight the
battles of every little yellow legged
republic in South America or pay its
depts.''
MIR. Scott then elaborates the ques-
ton of what we must do under a sup
posed set of circums ances. He asks
ifyGermany and England can do less
than seiz. upor Venezuelan territory
in case that country refuses TO pay
the debts which it owes to them.
"Supposc, he says. Castro should
doggedly decline TO make terms with
England and Germany. That would
mean war and the overthrow of the
Castro government. What govern
ment would take its place? A
government which England and Ger
many would set PIP, of course. And
could they set up government there
which would not be virtually an oc-
cupation of American territory, and,
pro tanto, violation of the Monroe
doctrine?
ITO be sure" continues Mr..
S:ott, 1--WE might pay the debts

European countries, shut wouldn't

could govern Venezuela vastly better
than it has yet been goveroed?"
L. seems III Us that MIR. Scott has
very carelessy treated the origin and
purposes of the doctrine which We
named for President Monroe. His
opening paragr tph puts him in The
attitude of believing that this doc
trine WAS first invoked against Eug
land and that we ''bluffed" the Brit
ish-rs. Coula anything be further
from the facts in the case? The
declaration of the Monroe doctrine
WAS inspired by Mir. Canning, prime
minister of ENGLAND. who said to
Munster Rush, representing our
government. that if President Monroe
would warn the Holy Alliance away
from the shores OF America. England
would sustain us with all her power.
History is clear enough on the point
that the Monroe doctrine was the out
come of virtual alliance between
Great Britain and the United States
I
powers of the Holy Alliance which
were plotting to reimburse the re-
voted colonies of Spain. And his
tory is clear enough on the fact thai
the virUual compact between Great
Britain and the United States was
the practical force which saved all of
the territory OF Central and South
America. including that of Mexico,
from becoming the domain of the
monarchies OF Europe
MIR. Scott says the Monroe doctrine
has been big bluff RICH. from the
beginning. Does he mean that the
United States would not fight To en-
force a national policy which has
been made paramount -fpr nearly
eighty years-that she would back
down incontinently in case the doc
trine were challenged? Certainly the
nations of Europe have entertained no
such light view of the pledged honor
and faith of the United States of
America. Time after time we have
invoked this Monroe doctrine against
Ne biggest and strongest of the
governments of Europe, and never in
effectually. We drove France out OF
Mexico, England out of Venezuela,
Germany out of her project for e
naval base In the Caribbean, and for
seventy-five years We have preserved

News, referring to the speakership
and senatorial situation, says that
the editor of The Capital, Mr.. Chase,
and the editor of The Mail and Breeze

This is a serious charge. 1t is one
that is calculated to provoke a retort.
Our impulse on reading it, we confess,
was to hurl the accusation back into
Willie's teeth, so to speak. On the
spur Of the moment we started to say
as a counter-charge, that Billie was
simply acting as an amanuensis: or
as Il sort of carbon copy of the ideas

WILL SET OUT
MANY TREES
Next Friday Will be Arbor Day
at Paramount.
HAVE SECURED 800 TREES
Holiday VIII be Observed
With Appropriate Ceremonies
HAVE SECURED 800 TREES

President n. ]. Morrison of Fairmount
college has issued a proclamation to the
students of the college, setting apart next
Friday, March q, as Arbor day and de-
claring the same a holiday. If the
weather department will furnish good
day for this occasion Paramount will
witness a very busy time next Friday.
President Morrison has provided 800
trees for the occasion, Students, mem
bers of the faculty and friends of the col
lege Will do the planting. Every class
Will plant a fine tree or a group of trees.
At noon the Library club will have
lunch ready for. the hungry, after which
speeches will be delivered in honor of
the event by prominent citizens of Wich-
ita.
Six years ago the college planted sew
eral hundred trees. which are already
making a magnificent showing. The trees
then planted by students and members
of the faculty have made marvellous
growth. The trees to be planted next
Friday will be located on the western
portion of the campus. The committee
having the matter in charge is getting
the ground plowed and put in good condi.
ton for the planting. Pipes viii be laid
for irrigating purposes. holes will be
dug, and everything will be in readiness
next Friday for rapid work.
Not only the alumni and former stu
dents of the college are invited and ex-
pected TO be present for this fine cere-
mony. but all the citizens of Wichita are
invited to come TO Paramount on that
day and assist in beautifying one of the
finest suburbs of the city. Friends in
Sedgwick have already sent word that
they win be present to plant trees, and
probably many Wichita friends, stu
dents and alumni will be glad to do the
same.
A large variety of trees Will be on hand
for individual selection. consisting of
elm, maple, ash, chestnut, linden, beech.
catalpa, tulip, pine, FIR, spruce and other
trees. The planting of these trees is GER
tainly a most commendable plan and Will
add much TO the natural beauty and ap-
pearance of the college grounds. The ex-
ecGtion of this plan viii ultimately make
the Paramount campus one of the most
attractive spots in this section.

SIXTEEN YEARS OF cATARRH.
Well Known Massachusetts Woman
Cured by Hyomei.

How to cure catarrh has been a prob
lem ii medicine for many years that was
not solved until the discovery of Hyomei.
This remarkable treatment makes it pos
sible for any one to breathe in an air at
home which is almost Identical with that
of the AdirOndacks, the Carolinas or other
health resorts where the air is impreg-
mated with healing balsams from health
giving trees and plants.
Simply place little Hyomei III the in
haler which comes with every outfit
breathe it occasionally during the day and
benefit Will be seen after its use for only
two or three times, while perseverance
for q few days or weeks will effect a
complete cure of even the worst case of
catarrh.
Mrs. Elvira Z. b. Gibson, who holds a
responsible position in the great dry goods
store of Jordan. Marsh q Co, of Bos-
ton. wrote in April: Il had catarrh for

Leading druggists have sold hundreds Of
Hyomei outfits, consisting of an Inhaler,
a medicine dropped and bottle Of Hyo-
mel, and with every purchase have given
their personal guarantee TO refund the
money if Hyomei did not cure. They
will still sell the treatment on that plan
and every catarrh sufferer ought 10 take
advantage OF their fair proposition.
