THE ROOSEVELT DOCTRINE.

President Roosevelt in explanation
of what he has added to the Monroe
Doctrine, made these sensible remarks
not long ago to Chilean editor:
ut is regrettable that all the South
American republics do not have, like
Chile, a suitable form of government,
which might give guarantees and be
able to inspire the respect of the whole
world. Chile is n country which has
known how to defend itself when at
tackled, and has never failed to meet
its obligations. This we know, and
We are, in consequence, drawn toward
her. If all the South American coun-
tries would follow in the footsteps of
Chile, we should have had no reason
to regret the events which on several
occasions have forced us to intervene
actively in the policy of that part Of
our continent"
By this and other late official ut
terances 1t appears that the Latin
American States, to be sure of safety
from Yankee Imperialism" must con-
duct themselves in such a way as not
to arouse the just resentment of Eu-
ropean powers. The United states
cannot go TO war in the name of the
Monroe Doctrine, to keep European
States from protecting their subjects
from political or financial injustice at
the hands of Latin American repub-
lies or from collecting indemnity for
injuries already done. In the past the
tacit obligation to protect an irrespon-
sible American debtor or mischief
maker from the usual disciplinary
course by the injured power. involv-
ing land indemnity in extreme cases,
was the weak point of the Monroe
Doctrine. But now all this has been
done away with by the terms of the
supplementary Roosevelt doctrine, sc
tries TO repudiate it's debts or sci
that, when a Latin-American republic
aside any of its treaty obligations, Tho
President OF the United States may
step in, as the continental policeman
to compel order, and, in his other ca
pacity as continental receiver, to man
age the property pending a final set
Element with all concerned.
The new doctrine is designed to pre-
vent armed tests of the Monroe doc
trine and to inculcate higher standard
of government in Central and Soutl
America. II seems to be necessary ant
comprehensive craftsmanship.

THE BILL TO DREDGE
HARBOR PASSES HOUSE

The following cablegram was receiv-
ed by Governor Carter yesterday after
noon:
+ WASHINGTON, February 2S.-Four
hundred thousand Honolulu harbor
passed the House.
(Signed) KUHIO.
This is timely, in view of the fact
that the Manchuria on her last trip
could not enter the harbor, laden as
she was, because there was not suf-
ficient depth of water, and the more re-
cent case of the Korea, not nearly so
deeply laden, which actually ran
aground in the fairway. Truly, It is
time Congress did something for Ho-
nolulu harbor.
Il consider this one of the most inn
portant matters before Congress with
reference to Hawaii" said Governor
Carter yesterday. And, by the way
the $4,000 appropriated for lighthouse
purposes was for lighthouse in the
harbor. This, too, is much-needed
l aid to navigation"

The Governor gives sound advice
when he urges the Legislature not to
be too free with the loan fund. Tha,
there Is temptation to draw upon
this fund. like that OF a young person
to get rid Of his surplus pocket money.
admits Of no manner OF doubt; but II
Hawaii is going to enjoy sound
finances II will have TO husband its
money and try to live within its
means. Because we have discovered
that we have credit Is no reason
why we should go ahead and exhaust
1t. Money borrowed must be repaid
some day and should only be spent for
things OF the most public utility
In this connection there are a num-
Der of questionable projects preached
which would deplete the loan fund
without making adequate returns to
the taxpayers. We do not. for one
thing, need a new public building, es-
pecially at time when the Terri
torial departments are likely to be
shorn of some of their personnel and
much OF their power by the institu-
tions formed by the County Act. For
all practical purposes the judiciary
building is good enough. The struc-
ture is well-put-up one. only need
ing such alterations as will make the
floors stronger. So instead of expend-
ing a large sum for new structure
why not expend a small one i'm making
suitable the public building we already
have?
Another wasteful project is the
building of $4,000 armory for the
Honolulu companies of the National
Guard, to say nothing of the armories
called for elsewhere. Fifty thousand
dollars are a goodly sum of money
That amount could be made extremely
useful in the building up of the Ter
ritory. Think of the roads 1t would
construct or the streets II would re-
pair. That money would survey and
open up public land upon which hum
dreds of thrifty people could be home
steaded, thus adding to the taxable
values needed to pay interest on the
Territorial debt and form a sinking
build lot of schoolhouses, increase
the supply Of impounded water so as
to protect the community from drouths
or keep the Promotion committee in
literature for years. Half of it, care
fully used, would expel Honolulu's
mosquitoes and one-fifth of 1t would
materially aid the sanitation Of the
city.
Yet in place of using the money for
some such purposes it Is seriously pro-
posed to invest 1t in a militia club
house or "armory," as such clubhouses
are called. The idea is made the more
obnoxious by the fact that the drill
shed, which answers all militia pur-
poses and serves them now, will prob
ably be decided back to the Territory
In two or three years. Considering all
this and the uselessness of the militia
except as a political machine, the
armory proposal becomes a signal ex-
ample OF what the Governor is warn
ing the Legislature against.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1905-02-24
TINE KONA ORpHANAGE.

Reasonable public aid for the Kona
Orphanage would be money well
placed. Young children left without
father or mother or relatives who
care for them are very likely to drift
into the street life that leads to crime.
Somebody ought to look after such
waits and the Kona orphanage is do
ing II at the expense of the manager,
Miss Beard, who gives her whole in
come to the Orphanage and Of such
charitable people as are of a mind to
help her. There is also a considerable
item OF self-support in the returns
from diversified farming.
But the support of SO children. who
must be sheltered, fed, clothed and
taught is no small item and owing to
circumstances which Miss Beard ex-
plains in her report for the current
year, legislative aid is very desirable
There may be some question, under
the organic act, whether II can be
lawfully extended, but there are good
attorneys who hold that, as Miss
Boards institution is not a school but
an orphanage, with teaching as side
issue, like small farming, and not the
chief aim, the inhibitions of the organic
act do not apply to it. If this is true,
the Attorney General would doubtless
reassure any doubling legislators upon
Of nf on
ton.
What Miss Beard has herself done
for the orphanage appears in this ex-
tract from her report:
From the opening of the orphanage
to December, 1901, all expenses were
met by Miss Beard.
When Miss Beard opened the work
at Kona Orphanage, 1t was not her IN
tention to ever call upon the pubic
to assist in providing for the children,
but the loss of twenty-one thousand
dollars in the Kona Sugar Co. and
deterioration in the price of coffee
made 1t necessary to ask for help.
About this time Hon. f. b. Beard of
Modesto, California, died. He had al
ways generously supplied his daughter
with money. His death materially
lessened the Orphanage income.
Many good people in the Islands and
on the mainland have responded to APP
peals.
With her own private income and
contributions from people charitably
inclined. the manager has thus far been
able to keep all Orphanage bills paid
During Miss Boards visit to the
mainland in the Spring of 1908, friends
of the Orphanage attempted through
the Legislature, to secure government
aid for the Orphanage, but they were
unable to do so. 1t is to be hoped that
a second attempt will not prove fruit
less.
That hope ought to find legislative
response, especially as Miss Beard Is
caring TOT many homeless Hawaiian
children dnd teaching them habits OF
industry. Aside from money for run
ming expenses, the orphanage needs
$4,000 for permanent improvements such
as more dormltory space, more school
room. constable and laundry
shed.
