which causes so much discomfort and
robs these periods of their terrors.
Miss Irene Crosby. of 313 Charlton
Street, East Savannah, Ga, writes:
"Lydia E. Pinkham'sVegetabl Compound

Monroel Reamrmed.

The strong affirmation of the Monroe
doctrine by the Transmississippi con-
gress at Kansas City is another evil
dence that the American policy recon-
mended by the fifth president of the
United States in his annual message
of 1923 is as heartily approved by the
people as it was when first enunciated.
The resolution adopted as the unani-
nous sentiment of the congress reads
I'VE renew and emphasize our ap-
prevail of and devotion to the Monroe
doctrine as enunciated by its author,
James Monroe, in 1928. when president
of the United States, and as reiterated
by Grover Cleveland in his Venezuelan
message of 1895, and as again stated
at this session of the Transmississippi
congress by Elihu Root. secretary of
state, after his tour of the South
American republics.
THE Interpretation of the Monroe
doctrine by the Transmississippi Com
mercial congress is that the people of
the United States are unalterably op-
posed to any European government ac-
quiring any additional territory or jul
risdiction in the Western hemisphere.
This is the Interpretation placed
upon the doctrine by all patriotic
Americans, and such enthusiastic in
dorsement will meet a hearty response
from the great body of people who be-
lieve that the United States should
not and never would suffer European
encroachment or interference in this
hemisphere. A still more striking
proof that the doctrine is invincible in
this country was given when the Ger
man chancellor explained the failure
of the emperor to get our consent to
coercive measures toward Venezuela
The explanation was that President
Roosevelt offered no opposition to the
German policy in that quarter, but the
popular dissent was so strong that the
president could not resist it,
Monroe was not the author of the
doctrine. George Canning, the British
minister for foreign affairs, rightly esti-
mated the temper of the American
people when he proposed it To Monroe
through the British minister at Wash
ington as a means of checking a reac-
tionary movement of continental mon
arches.
Jefferson. who knew the American
people as intimately as any man who
ever lived, enthusiastically approved it
when Monroe referred the proposal TO
him for advice, and it has since been
as much a part of the supreme law of
the United States as anything that is
written in the constitution or the de-
claration of iudeDendeuce
President Roosevelt did well to au-
thorize Secretary Root to say at Kan
sas City that he interprets the doctrine
to mean just what it has always
meant

The mississipprs Tributaries.

What is called the most represent
tative gathering of business and pro-
fessionaI men ever held in Nashville
met in that city recently in the inter
est of river improvements. The maie
address was made by John A. Fox OF
Blytheville, Ark, a member of the eX-
ecutive committee of the national riv-
ers and harbors congress, who said
that the waterways question is rapid
" increasing in interest and will make
and unmake senators and presidents.
He. urged that a large delegation be
sent to the national waterways conven-
ton to be held in Wasnin gton Dec 8
and z, to aid in impressing congress
with the fact that the rivers and har-
bors' appropriation should be increased
from $19, 100000 to $4,000, O0OO, 900,
and to urge that congress should rec
ognize the Importance of the issue.
Ex-Governor Mcmillan of Tennessee
said there is but one permanent, eff
fective and unquestionable method of
securing and maintaining transporta
ton competition, and that is the Inn
proyement of the waterways. He re-
gards the outlooi. in congress as favor
able, as it was harder 20 years ago II

this subject are short sighted.
The Chattanooga Times strikes the
right keynote when it says the actioI
of the st. Louis convention in favor o.
the deepening of the Mississippi river
from the great lakes to the gulf OF
Mexico and the improvement of lateral
and feeding streams so as to give the
great Mississippi valley and its tribu
tary water transportation to the mar
kets of the world furnishes an assur

crat. is undeniably correct ana equally

land and all other lffluents. that are
open, or can be opened, to steam nav
igation. All the waterways sentiment
developed tends TO this comprehensive
end. Already the improvement of the
Tennessee and Ohio rivers is further
and this is a subject for congratula-
lions, not for an envious pullbaca spir-
it, One of the main feeders of the
Ohio river, the Monongahela, has long
been extensively improved, and the re-
sulting business upon it is immense.
1t is an argument for the general i'm
provement of the waterways. Jealous
feelings in regard to it would be eX-
tremely narrow and self-prejudicial.
Some of the speakers at Nashville
took the mistaken attitude that the ac-
ton of the st. Louis waterways con-
gress was too much concentrated on
the lakes-to-gulf channel and that the
inter ests of the Cumberland river are
threatened thereby. This misconcep.
ton ought to be stopped as soon as
possible. The navigable rivers of the
Mississippi valley are parts of one in
divisable opportunity. A steamer as
cending or descending the Mississippi
goes up the Ohio and up the Cumber-
land and finds none but imaginary d.
Iiding lines. The channels are cOntin-
uous, and will all be mutually better
for improvement. The improvement oe
q tributary would not insure the i'm
provement of the Mississippi. but the
improvement of the Mississippi will
Unquestionably lead to the permanent
betterment of every navigable stream
emptying into it.

suit is to be purblind and Injuries the

So many Cincinnati wives have been
deserted by their husbands of late that
the city council has taken steps toward
putting a check on such runaways. 1t
has been found that mortgage loan
s6aIks are contributing factors in a
great many cases. A mans ability 10
mortgage his furniture without the
knowledge of his wife is strong temp
tation to husbands of weak will An
ordinance has been introduced making
such mortgages of no avail unless they
bear the signatures of both husband
and wife.

 ''The Spirit of benevolence should all ways accompany the Spirit of thanks giving. What shall I render unto the Lord for all of His benefits towards me?' A lady was mourning a financial loss saying she had nothing for which to live. The loss she had sustained was so great that she longed for the end to come. While in this mood a little tow headed child ran into the room and lay ing it's hands in its mothers lap. look ed up into her eyes and said 'Mother,' I asked her if she would take million dollars for that child. Quickly she reached for her little one and cfasped it in her arms. Not all the millions of the Vanderbilts or the Rothschilds could have induced her to give up that baby. Another friend of mine, a farm CT, said he had nothing to live for. He had had hard year. There was little water in the canals, and crops had been a failure. Death had taken off many of his cattle and his horses. There was nothing left now but the old faithful buggy horse and old Brindle. the COW. His son. bright little fellow. ran up to his father and exclaimed 'You's got me, father"
 MT. Govette found numerous illus tratiOns of the many things for which thanks should be offered.

The result would be to the mind of the speaker, the making of greater Thanksgiving with each succeeding year.

coLoRED MANS PROTEST.
Against Summary Dismissal of the
 Colored Battalion at Fort Reno.

To the editor of The Republican: Sir: In the recent republican county convention I heard a gentleman say that he favored joint statehood be cause President Roosevelt advocated it. The strenuous advocacy of this unwise. undesirable and distasteful union, which has been repudiated by ninety per cent of the people of Arizona, who, presumably, know what is best for their own interests, by the president, has convinced a large number of hero worshippers that MT. Roosevelt is but human and is not in fallible.
 In summarily dismissing without honor three companies of the fighting 25th Infantry from the service of the country. the president has given addi- tional proof of his fallibility and spec tacular hastiness. The press reports of strong men breaking down and weeping as they received their unmer- ited, undeserved and unjust discharge papers are enough to move the hearts and sympathies of the entire nation.
 In a large post it is near.y impossi- ble for all the men to be conversant with the movements of every man composing the garrison. Soldiers or laymen planning a "shoot-up" of a town would not take all their fellows into their confidence. A large major ity of these soldiers respect the law that they have spent their lives in up- holding. and would have given up the guilty ones had they known who they were. The small per cent who pos sibly knew the guilty ones. were prob ably 'deterred by the fact that to tell would be to turn their comrades over to the tender mercies Of a mob. To presume that the entire battalion was knowingly shielding the guilty ones, is wrong in principle and wrong in fact.
 Among these 166 men were many who have spent the best years of their lives in the service of the country. They have grown grey in following the

Many of these veterans were about to retire to enjoy the pensions granted by an appreciative country for long and continuous faithful service. To haughtily dismiss this large number of men because it was impossible to fer ret out the few bad ones among them who were concerned in the regrettable Brownsville affair. is despotic and essentially cruel. That this unheard of policy of punishing one hundred and fifty or more, innocent men, to get al a few guilty ones is repugnant to the sense of fair play inherent in the American people. is evidenced by the unanimity of the American press in its condemnation.
