The Monroe Doctrine.

Professor Muensterberg, of Germany,
has written a two-volume book, "Ihe
Americans" which a Berlin publisher
will bring out next week. The news
papers print extracts from 1t. In
chapter on the Monroe Doctrine the
author says he thinks the time Is
near when the absurdity of the doctrine
will be seen and the rejection OF it will
proceed as rapidly as the adoption OF
imperialism by the masses OF the people
and adds, ''for a ration cannot perma-
nently run counter to its highest interests
for the sake of caprice" The Professor
argues that the conditions no longer
exist which gave rise to the doctrine
namely, the contrast between Europe
as the lend of tyranny and America as
that of democratic freedom. Amei leans
know that the west European nations
have popular representation, while they
know still better that the Latin Amerl-
can republics, except Argentina, Chill
and Mexico, are most repulsive carl
catures of liberty and democracy. Amerl-
cans no longer feel themselves called on
to protect blackmailiug South American
republics from the invasion OF the Euro
pean political system. Furthermore, the
second original argumentfor the doctrine
namely, the political safety of the
United States, no longer exists. On the
contrary, superstititious adherence there
to is one of the most dangerous factors
for the United State3' peace. European
colonies in South America would cause as
little trouble for the United States as the
colonies in Africa. Professor Muenster-
berg saws the doctrine has grown hollow,
and that the best interests of the
United States demand its abandonment,
so far as South America is concerned.
He adds:
"The United States interests demand
the rapid development of that continent,
for the promotion of American export
trade. The maintenance Of the doctrine
there will only protract its wretched eco
nomic impotence, since the politicians oil
those countries know that Europe can
undertake nothing against them so long
as the Washington government protects
them. Ii the United States continues
to assert the doctrine it cannot escape
the reproach of promoting anarchy and
hindering the progrosss OF one OF the
richest continents. The above argu-
ments apply only to South America;
The canal gives the United States real
interests in Central America How
ever, Europe must for the present con-
tinue the policy of hands off till the
doctrine dies natural death in the
American mind"

Will Fight to Finish.

A dispatch from St. Petersburg says
it is authoritatively announced that the
talk of mediation in the Russo-Japanese
war was founded upon the personal de-
sires of King Edward and King Christian
of Denmark to avoid further bloodshed
and end the conflict, but that the steps
initiated have utterly failed. The En-
peror. with the full concurrence OF the
imperial family and his advisers
has firmly decided not only to reject
all proposals looking to Intervention,
but to prosecute the war with all
the resources of the empire until
victory crowns the Russian arms, and
then when the time comes for peace
to make terms directly with the enemy:
The interference of outside powers Will
not be tolerated. There is to be no rep
etition of the Berlin Congress. 1t is
further stated that Russia will in no
wise consider herself boundby the prop
ositions made to Japan prior to the war.
The hostilities have wiped out the en-
QaUementS 6ussld OhCiCu w iH"
Japan regarding Korea and Manchurla'
Russia will consider herself free to I'M
pose such terms as she desires.
Ten days ago dispatch from Toxic
printed in ST. Petersburg stated that Japan
in full possession of Korea might posi-
bly be willing to stop The war on the basis
of the existing situation. This dispatch
attracted little attention at the time, but
it is now thought possible that it might
have had some connection with the move
ment for mediation.
1t is apparent to every keen observer
that the Russian people are not in
temper to consider peace. They ar'
thoroughly aroused by desire to aveng'
the losses and humiliations they have
sustained, and even if the Emperor him
self. absolute monarch as he is, were dis
posed to listen to propositions to end tn
war at this juncture, he would do 81
against the almost unanimous protest o
his subjects.

MEDICINAL.
Hold the Secret Of Life and Death.

Recent experiments conducted by most
eminent scientists, prove that light is a
great remedial agent; it is essentially
Natures agent. II may be either sun
light or electric light, but 1t has de-
cided effect in helping nature to Danish
disease and restore health. Other scien-
tifc men have proved that oxygen cleo
trihes the heart and can prolong life.
The people on this earth are susceptible
to some laws which govern plant life. A
plant cannot be successfully grown In the
dark A man Is seldom healthy and strong
who lives in the dark or in sunless rooms.
After all, Natures ways are found 10 be
the best Natures remedies are always
best for eradicating disease, and by this we
mean medicine made Of roots and herbs:
They are assimilated IN the stomach and
taken up by the blood and are, therefore,
the most potent means which can be en-
ployed for the regaining of lost health.
DR.. K. Y. Pierce, consulting physician to
the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
at Buffalo, ~ Y, in many years Of extern
