IGNORANCE OF THE MONROE
 DOCTRINE.

What is there about the Monroe doc
 Urine that makes it so hard for the peo-
 pie of foreign countries to understand
 The people of the United States have no difficulty in comprehending it, but even the savauts and statesmen of Eu- rope are unable to explain it without adding something that has no relevancy 10 it or leaving out one or more of its integral principles. And yet people of South and Central America, for whose benefit it now mainly exists, generally have as wrong ideas about it as have those of Europe. For example, the governments and peoples of Hayti and San Domingo arc refusing, on the strength of the protection that they imagine it will afford them in case or trouble. to pay their honest debts to foreigners. They do not deny the valid ity of the debts in question. They admit it and then impudently tell those who attempt ot collect from them that they won't pay They don't have to pay they say, because they have "a grant and good friend" in the person of UE~ cle Sam who will protect them. They expect this country to stand between them and punishment no matter what crimes or outrages against Civiliza tion or the laws of the nations they may commit.
 It is the duty ot- the United States to itself and to the world 10 make cleiT the falsity and absurdity of this in depreciation of the Monroe doctrine. The Monroe doctrines sole aim is to protect the Western hemisphere and every part of 1t from conquest arc permanent acquisitions by nations Of the cid world. The United States will not permit any power from outside this hemisphere to commit unjust az gressions upon the American nation. But every power in the world is just as much at liberty to enforce it's jus. claims against the countries of the Western hemisphere. and to use force to this end, if force be found necessary. as if the Monroe doctrine never existed. The United States is the shield or weakness in the Western hemisphere. but it is not tho protector of thieve-y and fraud here or elsewhere. IL has constituted itself the defender of the new world against the injustice of the old, but it has not thereby constituted itself the defender of the new world against the old worlds injustice and righteous indignation.
 Several Central and South American countries beside Hayti and san Dom ingo, relying on the protection Of rha United States, are becoming so inn pUdent and dishonest with their deal ings with foreign countries that it is evident they are going to get tAe.n- selveS into serious trouble one of these days. It seems futile for Ameri- car diploUats fo explain to them that they cannot depend upon this countrys help unless they are in the right, e-,- cept insofar as to prevent condscation or their territory. l. would seem,there- fore, that the best course the United States could take would be to stand entirely aside and let some cheated and

THE WASTE OF A SERVICE PEN
 SION

The n.oposition to pay q pension of SIP q. month 10 every survivor Of the civil war. which is said to be favored oy the president and by certain repub- lican leaders as a campaign measure. is financially wasteful and morally re- ougnant. IL is especially reckless in view of the warning Of the chairman of the house committee cn appropriations that there is danger of a deficit of $42.- COG, 600 for the current year.
 Pensions are this year costing the people of the United States S139,S4T, 500. The most careful estimate of the cost Of service pension places it at more than S6O, ,OOOOO0 for the current year.

'HOENIx, ARIz., FEBRUARY 8, 1904,
Will There Be War TodayP

The severance of diplomatic rel1- tions be -ween two countries is genec- ally supposed to mean that an un- bearable situation has come about and that it can be relieved only by war. But a breaking off of relations is not always followed by wa. and il is believed in some quarters tHa. the degsrture of Minister Komura from St. Petersburg and the departure e. t2AVon Ye Rosen from Tolkio are not necessarily signs Of hostilities 'A the FaV sAs1.
 Gt has been pointed out in these dis patches from time to time that while fhe Nsnchurian question was regard . Ed aE vital one by Japan and as an impossible one by Russia, there was a way by which an immediate Or even an early rupture might be avert ed though 1t hardly seemed possible and does not seem so now that a ci7s" can b. ultimately averted when there is nothing but the Yalu river between the two countries.
 AN was AAAl4llcNAEA --i AAAt NdlIAue- night dispatches from Berlin, which all along hac enter.ltnei an optimistic view of the situation, that in tie event of failure to agree and the corss- Guent severance of relations, JsDan might be permitted to continue hef operations in Korea south of the river. Berlin has been better inform cd of the progress Of events than any other capital during the last three months and what has smanated from that place has probably been a refec- tion of the sentiment at St. Peters burg, which to use q slang expression has had a look-in from the beginning while the rest of the world, including Japan, has been kept guessing.
 Though Japanese plans in Korea. even in the southern rart have not S[en consented to by Russia in the rouTse of the negotiations and though ue4. demands Of tha fo-mer with ref escnCe 10 that peninsula seem to have been denied in the reply which will De submitted to the government of Japan today, 1t would be in accord anCe with Russian policy for three hundred years to forego for the pres snt her wishes as to southern Korea. and content herself with the gains s-e has already made trusting to time. either in this century or some other Co bring her desires. Russia is never In a hurry. Her statesmen do net labor for the present. Their policy is that of the ever moving glacier.
 The Japanese understand this and they are aware that even if she were permitted to carry out her plans in the south, Korea would still be the arrow pointing at her heart" She is as well prepared for war now as she will ever be and she may endeav- OF at once to convert the arrow into the wedge" which Russia fears.
 The significance Of the order sent "at from Tokio on Saturday is not in she actual severance Of relations but ia the fact that it was made before tAs formal recei-t of the Russian r-- p'y. That implies a national exaspera- ''9n which could be felt only bv government determined on war. The world will probably have to wait no longer than today.

TIT. Beerbohm, the IconocIast.

MT. Max Beerbohm, who. in addition to other duties. writes about the dra ma in the Saturday Review. is an in- suppressible humo.ist. His hmnor us- ually takes the form of eXaggeret.on, thus resembling that of Mark Twain. Thus his criticisms of plays and act tors, though always readable, cannot be taken seriousl-. They amuse but tn y dc not instruct. As ar authority on dress, MT. Beerbohm is even more fan tastic. He has been posing at a recent meeting of refo: mers in London as an iconoclast. He would abolish the pres ert well established sartorial code and be as picturesque as the Georgian gal lants. He admitted to his assembled countrymen that he had long indulged in weird fancics in underwear and had sion Of his aesthetic farcies out of fear 9or the mob; and he promised that if a hundred kindred spirits would follow his lead, and go to their tailors and
 
 as trey liked, he himse would take his courage in his hand and staTtIc Bond street. It does no appear. how ever. that this was accepted. English men stil have a constitutional conse.v- atism in such matters.
 Yet Mir. Beerbohm's iconoclasm is the presage of danger. Other symptoms of revolt are reported in fearful whispers. already appeared at dances in the CO., ors appropriate Cnly to a hunt ball. There gre rumOrs of fresh agitation of the knickerbocker heresy. The carly Georgian period is the ideal of these misguided enthusiasts; and this is the way, the London Mail says, they would have gentlemen of the twentieth cen tury eress
 waistceats with pockets in them. the latter meeting stockings drawn up ever the knee SO high as entirely to conceal the tight-fitting brooches; large hang
 
 of the coat stiffened out with wire or buckram; blue or scarlet silk stockings with gold or silver clocks. lace neck cloths; square toed short quartered shoes with high, red heels and small buckles, very long and formally curlsd perukes. and to complete the picture, 2. small three cornered hat. laced with gold or silver galloon, and sometimes tr r.mmed with feathers"
 Can one conceive the sober streets Of London in such kaleidoscopic array? Any what would be the effect upon the gaTtorial morals of the time? The an swer Is only too plain. Individullism would run rampant and lew would be destroyed. The modern code in fact, is based upon the assumption that a gentleman is a gentleman, and that no one can claim superiority over his fel- lows by distinction in cresz. .'Tros Tyriusvc mint nullo descrimine agetur." once admit personal taste to intervene and this pleasant democratic equality would be dissipated. We should have among men the perplexities and heart burnines that new cypress women. Surely this consideration alone should give the iconoclasts pause. There arc other considerations of importance, but in such a matter one is enough.

While some of the comments on the Whitaker Wright case indicate pes simistlc notion that if he had been an American rascal he would not have been punished. they suggest also that the peculiarities of his rise are not un- derstood very well.

MR. ROCKEFELLER ON CHEESE

MIR ROCKET FILLER ON CHEESE,
 MT. Rosk9feller, speaking in praise of cheese us an article of diet, will com mapd an attention not always accorded the dietetic specialist. He has passed through the ordeal of dyspepsia tri- umphantly. and besides he is Americas s richest citizen. What Croesus eats whether it be canvasback or curds and whey. must ever interest us.
 MT Rockefeller says he learned only recently that cheese is not so difficult of digestion as he used to believe. and, profiting by this information. which he wishes he had acquired earlier, he 'eats a great deal of it and finds that 1t agrees with him"
 The old theory that cheese dlgeste1 everything but itself may have origin ated in the practice of cxpedirinS is descent to the digestive orgen ms at the end of dinner with a glass Of wine. Improperly masticated, it seemed to trapsmute itself into a lump of lead. Well chewed t is not difficult of as- sim,latien, possesses recognized nutri- tive valoc and is the most palatab.e of dairy products. Tn the variety of chees- es cf commerce, ranging from Sulton to Camembert. there is a choice to sat isfy the most fastidious palate.
 The cheese consumed on free lunch counters runs annually into the million pounds, as was discovered at the time of last years saloon boycott. The amount disposed of in Welsh rabbits furnishes food for speculation. It Yill be g good thing for national economy in diet if MT. Rockefelleu's example encourages further consumption.-New Yoi!s World.

Peach eorer.

J. o. LA substance in the nature
of a jelly has been oozing out Of plum
and peach trees, just below the sur
face Of the ground. White grubs are
eating into the trees.
The trouble with your peach and
plum trees is to be charged to the
work Of the peach borer. The larvae
OF this beetle works In the stem of
the tree, just at the surface, or
little below the surface Of the
ground. 1t often burrows 50 thorough.
ly and industriously that the tree is
completely girdled, which, of course,
causes death. There is no satisfac-
tory and sure preventive. Peach
growers throughout the country have.
settled down to the conclusion that the
only way to keep the trees free of
these insects Is to grub" them an.
nually. They make business of go.
ing over the trees during the early
part OF June and digging out the Dor.
ers with a sharp knife. It is not difn.
cult to detect the presence of the
borer. The sawdust and gum deposit
Is sure sign Of It's work. When
borers have been removed, 1t is a good
plan to paint the wounded parts and
then return the soil to the stem Of
the tree.
