SOUTH AMERICAN NATIONS ~,
REPUDIATE MONROE DOCTRINE

Washington, d. g., Feb. 11.--south
America may repudiate the Monroe
doctrine. In the forthcoming mes.
sage Of the president Of Argentina it
is said there viii be paragraph for
tnally declaring the freedom Of his
country from American protection.
The president Of Chile may take SINH.
lar action. Even Brazil, which has
manifested on so many occasions its
friendship. is considering the advisa.
bflity Of withdrawing itself from the
aegis OF the United States.
Argentina, Chile, and Brazil con-
slider themselves sovereign states and
entitled as such to the same voice In
international councils as other ma.
tons. The Monroe doctrine places
them in the eyes Of Europe as under
American suzerainty, and as they
transact most OF their business with
Europe they do not like the view Eu.
ropeans take Of them.
Result Of Roosevelt Message.
The recent message of President
Roosevelt brought things to a head
That docume emit has been interpreted
In South America as proof that the
United States regards itself as the

while it did not fall nearly as low as
1t has on several occasions during the

felt by the majority Of people who
were compelled to be out.
This afternoon the snow is still fall
ing and at a faster rate than usual.
The temperature which at o'clock is
about 10 degrees above zero would
seem to indicate that several inches
more OF the beautiful are liable to fall

indications for this part of the state
are that the weather over tomorrow
is to be colder than today.

order to do this there was quoted a

has returned home after visit OF sew

stood that Mr.. Spence was in the cap

Mr.. Spence spoke very hopefully Of

he failssto see the foundation for the
sorry picture OF the future of Iowa re-
publicanism painted by some pessi-
mists.
In regard to the rate question par
ticularly Mr.. Spence says that he finds
the party and the delegation not at all
divided.
"The delegation here at Washington
is certainly harmonious in their de-
sire for some action in line with the
desires of the President" he said. Il
attended a dinner Of the delegation the
other night and I found them all of
practically one mind. / do not think
that there was ever time when the
