An effort is being made by the Com

to avert a portion of the Europ an
tourist traffic to Lne West.
The whole movement is called, SEE

The Salt Lake Tribune of Novembcr :

are quo ted. One from Secretary Wood
OF the alwaii Ilomotion Committee
reads:
I'VE have been given to understand
that your club contemplates making an
active campaign looking to the diver
sion of a portion of European tourist
traffic to the Western United States.
A most commendable undertaking, in
which we trust you may be successful
and for the initiation of which your
club deserves the thanks of every COM

in the West, of which the Hawaiian
island, as you are aware, form an
important part.

such change inadvisable unless for

Of the people as q whole. for needs and

Msfdious as the corruption OF the cleo
torate No one defends or excuses cor
ruption, and It would seem to follow
that none would oppose vigorous meas
ures to eradicate 1t. I recommend the
enactment Of law directed against
bribery and corruption in federal cleo
lions. The details Of such q law may
be safely left to the wise discretion Of
the congress, but 1t should go as far
as under the constitution 1t lis possible
to 60, and should include severe penal
ties against him who gives or receives
bride intended to influence his act
or opinion as an elector, and provisions
for the publication not only Of the ex-
penditures for nominations and elec-
lions Of all candidates, but also Of all
contributions received and expendi-
lures made by political committees"
I desire to repeat this recommends
ton. In political campaigns in coun-
try as large and populous as ours it is
inevitable that there should be much
expense Of an entirely legitimate kind.
This, Of course, means that many con-
tributions, and some Of them of large
size, must be made, and, as matter
Of fact, in any big political contest such
contributions are always made to both
sides. 1t is entirely proper both to
give and receive them unless there is
an improper motive connected with
either gift or reception. If they are ex-
torted BY any kind Of pressure or prom
ise, express or implied, direct or indi-
rect, in the way Of favor or immunity
then the giving or receiving becomes
not only improper, but criminal. 1t
will undoubtedly be difficult as a mat
ter Of practical detail to shape an act
which shall guard with reasonable GER
tainty against such misconduct, but ii
1t is possible to secure by law the full
and verified publication in detail Of all
the sums contributed to and expended
by the candidates or committees of any
political parties the result cannot but
be wholesome. All contributions by
corporations to any political committee
or for any political purpose should be
forbidden by law, directors should not
be permitted to use stockholders mon.
ey for such purposes, and, moreover, q
prohibition Of this kind would be, as
Tar as it went, an effective method OF
stopping the evils aimed at in corrupt
practices acts. Not only should both
the national and the several state leg
tslatures forbid any officer of a cor
poratton from using the money of the
corporation in or about any election, but
they should also forbid such use OF
money in connection with any legisla
ton save by the employment of coun
sci in public manner for distinctly lega
services. #r -o- 1.

taken at all only with extreme reauc-
lance and when 1t has become evident
that every other resource has been ex-
hausted.
Not Shield For WroDgdoers.
Moreover, we must make 1t evident
that we do not intend to permit the
Monroe doctrine to be used by any ma
ton on this continent as shield to
protect it from the consequences OF fts 1
own misdeeds against foreign nations.
II a republic to the south Of us com
mits tort against foreign nation,
such as an outrage against citizen Of
that nation, then the Monroe doctrine
does not force us to interfere to pre-
vent punishment OF the tort save to see
that the punishment does not assume
the form Of territorial occupation in
any shape. The case Is more difficult
when 1t refers to contractual ohliga-
ton. Our own government has always
refused to enforce such contractual OBJ
legations on behalf Of its citizens by an
appeal to arms. 1t Is much to be
wished that all foreign governments
would take the same view. But they
do not, and in consequence we are liza
BILE at any time to be brought face to
face with disagreeable alternatives. On
the one hand, this country would GER
tainly decline to 60 to war to prevent a
foreign government from collecting a
just debt. On the other hand, it is
very inadvisable to permit any foreign
power to take possession, even tempo
rarily, of the custom houses Of an
American republic In order to enforce
the payment Of its obligations, for such
temporary occupation might turn into
a permanent occupation. The only es-
cape from these alternatives may at
any time be that we must ourselves
undertake to bring about some arrange
ment by which SO much as possible Of
a just obligation shall be paid. It is
Ear better that this country should put
through such an arrangement rather
than allow any foreign country to un-
dertake it. To do SO insures the de-
faulting republic from having to pay
debts Of an improper character under
duress, while it also insures honest
creditors Of the republic from being
passed by in the interest of dishonest
or grasping creditors Moreover, for
the United States to take such posi-
ton offers the only possible way Of In
surfing us against a clash with some
foreign power. The position is there
fore in the interest Of peace as well as
in the interest of justice. 1t is of BEN
eft to our people; it is Of benefit to for
eign peoples, and, most Of all, it is real
ly Of benefit to the people Of the coun-
try concerned. - El.s;.. l., *
This brings me to what should be one
Of the fundamental objects of the Mon
roe doctrine. We must ourselves In
good faith try to help upward toward
peace and order those Of our sister re.
publics which need such help. Just as
there has been gradual growth of the
ethical element in the relations Of one
individual to another, SO we are, even
though slowly, more and more coming
to recognize the duty Of bearing one
another's burdens, not only as among
individuals, but also as among nations

SANTo DOMINGO.
A Plea For the Ratification of the Treaty
Now Pending.

Santo Domingo, in her turn. has now
made an appeal to us to help her, and
not only every principle Of wisdom,
out every generous instinct within us,
bids us respond to the appeal. It is not
Of the slightest consequence whether
we grant the aid needed by Santo Do
mingo as an incident to the wise de-
velopment Of the Monroe doctrine, or
because we regard the case of Santo
Domingo as standing wholly by itself
and to be treated as such and not OH
general principles or with any refer
ence to the Monroe doctrine The i'm
portant point is to give the needed aid,
and the case Is certainly sufficiently
peculiar to deserve to be judged purely
on its own merits. The conditions In
Santo Domingo have for a number OF
years grown from bad to worse until a
year ago all society was on the verge of
dissolution. Fortunately just at this
time ruler sprang up in Satto Domin-
go who, with his colleagues, saw the
dangers threatening their country and
appealed to the friendship of the only
sessed the power and, as they hoped,
also the will to help them. There was
imminent danger of foreign interven-
ton. The previous rulers of Santo Do
mingo had recklessly incurred debts,
and owing to her internal disorders she
had ceased to be able to provide means
of paying the debts. The patience of
her foreign creditors had become ex-
hausted and at least two foreign ma
lions We're on the point of Intervention
and were only prevented from inter-
vening by the unofficial assurance OF
this government that it would itself
strive to help Santo Domingo in her
hour Of need. In the case of one Of
these nations only the actual opening
Of negotiations to this md by our gov
eminent prevented the seizure Of ter
ritory in Santo Domingo by European
power. OF the debts incurred some
were just, while some Were not of q
character which really renders it OBJ
ligatory on or proper for Santo Domin-
go to pay them in full. But she could
not pay any of them unless some sta
bility was assured her government and
people. .lt
Accordingly, the executive depart
ment of our government negotiated
treaty under which we are able to try
to help the Dominican people to
straighten out their finances. This
treaty is pending before the senate. In

some way inimical to their interests,
and we must try to convince all the
other nations of this continent once
and for all that no just and orderly
government has anything to fear from
us. There are certain republics to the
south Of us which have already reached
such q point of stability, order and
prosperity that they themselves, though
as yet hardly consciously, are among
the guarantors of this doctrine. These
republics we now meet not only on a
basis Of entire equality, but in a spirit
Of frank and respectful friendship,
which we hope is mutual. If all of the
grow as those to which allude have
already grown, all need for us to be the
especial champions Of the doctrine will
disappear, for no stable and growing
American republic wishes to see some
great non-American military power ac-
Quire territory in its neighborhood. All
that this country desires is that the
other republics on this continent shall
be happy and prosperous, and they
cannot BE happy and prosperous unless
they maintain order within their
boundaries and behave with just re-
gard for their obligations toward out
siders. 1t must be understood that un-
der no circumstances will the United
States use the Monroe doctrine as a
cloak for territorial aggression. We
desire peace with all the world, but
perhaps most Of all with the other peo-
pies OF the American continent. There
are Of course limits to the wrongs
which any self respecting nation can
endure. It Is always possible that
wrong actions toward this nation or
toward citizens OF this nation In some
state unable to keep order among its
own people, unable to secure justice
from outsiders and unwilling to do JUS
tice to those outsiders who treat it well,
may result in our having to take ac-
tion to protect our rights, but such
action win not be taken with q view to
territorial agression. and It will be

Ktw1 the Oldest Of birds.

In New Zealand is found the kiwi. a
strange bird Of the ostrich family. Os-
triches have two toes, but the extinct
moas had three toes; so also have the
existing emus, caSSowaries and rheaS.
or South American %ostriches. The klwi,
however. differs from the other stru-
thlous birds in having four toes. Fur
ther, the kiwi cannot be said to be
quite ostrich-like, for in size 1t Is not
larger than an ordinary barnyard fowl.
1t has n small head. with a large and
muscular neck and a long slender bill,
with the distinguishing feature that
he n~ostrils are placed close to it's tip.
The legs are short but the muscles on
the thighs are well developed, and the
feet are strong and powerful and pro-
yided with sharp claws. The kiwi is Il

THE FEET OF HORSES.
Influence of Soil on shape and Tex
ture of koOfs.

Influence of Soil on shape and Tex
ture of KoOfs.
An English agricultural journal says
that the nature of the soil on which
horses are bred and reared has Il GER
tain influence ON the shape and quality
Of their hoofs. Horses bred In hilly
districts us II general rule possess COM
paratively upright and small, but very
strong and tough. feet, While the hoofS
of horses reared on marshy and low
lying land are of exactly the opposite
character, being usually big, more or
less flat or spreading and soft.
There is. of course, a considerable
amount of difference in the quality and
shape of the feet of individual horses
bred under exactly the same conditions
Of soil. But. broadly speaking, the
shape of Il horses foot is in all cases
governed TO Il greater or less extent
by the class of soil on which the ami
NAL is bred and reared. Damp soil
causes the production of soft. spongy
horn in the feet of young horses, and
dryneSS. OF the other hand, favors the
growth OF tough and closely teNtured
horn.
The feet of growing horses reared
on soft, sponay and damp soil are
very apt to become over@rown or BAD
ly shaped. owing to the insufficient
amount of Wear which the horn is
subjected to on such soil. In conse-
Quence of the horn continually growing
and not sufficient of it being worn
away the hoofs readily become over
grown. and if this is not remedied by
the use of the drawing knife they
eventually assume Il bad shape.
When young horses are reared On
dry uplying land. where the soil is
comparatively firm and hard. the horn
of the loofs wears away ut a much
more rapid rate tllan it does in the
case of spongy and soft soil. and there
is much less risk of the feet becoming.
overgrown or assuming a bad shape.
In practice this is simply borne out
by the fact that the percentage of
cases of badly shaped feet is much
smaller among horses reared on dry
and firm soil than it is among those
that have been bred on soft and.
marShy land.
