England and the Monroe Doctrine

British comment on the unfortunate din

recognition to the Madriz presidency in

The Dangerous House Fly.

From the Philadelphia Press.
The city department of public health
gives a timely and needed warning to
those leaving the city for their vacations
to avoid places where there are many
flies. Those who follow this advice will
avoid places which are uncleanly, which
allow food and garbage to be SO exposed
as to attract and feed the flies. They
will avoid places where stables and
dwellings are in near vicinity, as the
exposed manure is the choice breeding
place of thousands and even millions of
flies. In other words, to avoid disease
conveying flies avoid places where they
permit flies to breed and feed. Formerly
the conditions which multiply flies and
the flies themselves were considered OBJ
jectionable but endurable. Now the pa
tent federation OF flies Is known to be a
needless trifling with the health and life
Of human beings. Disease germs are for
the most part innocuous to man, until
through some convenient medium they
are conveyed to his system. This pur-
veyor of disease Is the fly. His guilt has
been proved to a demonstration. His ca
pacity for carrying on his feet from foul
and putrescent sources the bacteria of
disease has been recorded by gelatin
plates on which he has been made to
alight and have proven his guilt.

iaration there Is no warrant whatever In
fact. The following from the Daily
Graphic discloses q similar failure to I'M
derstand the situation
"Germany's recognition of Senior Madriz
as President OF Nicaragua Is one OF those
unhappy plumbers which the anarchicai
condition of Wilhelmstrasse renders so ire
nation of the New York tail twisters. Is
1t not little exaggerated to talk OF the
recognition of Senior Madriz as a defiance
of the Monroe doctrine?
THE United States is just as much to
blame az Germany, for If the recognition
of Senior Madriz runs counter to the Mon
roe doctrine the support extended by
Washington to Gen. Estrada is not the
less violation Of it,
The latter statement of the Graphic
contains both false premise and a false
conclusion. In the first place, II is not
contended here that Germany's recogni-
ton of Madriz runs counter to the Mon
roe doctrine If it were so regarded Ger
many would be distinctly notified that its
action constituted violation of the Amer
lean right of prescription. The fact that
no such action has been taken suff1ces to
prove that in the view of Washington the
recognition is merely an act of discour-
tesy and not of doctrinaf violation. Again,
even though the United States had ex-
tended support to Estrada, which II has
not done, there would be no violation or
the Monroe doctrine thereby Involved
The Monroe doctrine does not limit the ac-
tivities of the United States in the pro-
lection of its direct commercial and po-
litical interests. The Monroe doctrine is
not declaration of absolute neutrality
governing all the world. 1t is an asser-
ton Of American right to prevent terri
torial aggressions by European powers In
this hemisphere, and by a logical extern
sion a right to prevent the growth of con-
ditions rendering territorial aggressions
possible There could be no doctrine
without such an extension. The United
States today stands firmly on the ground
that it is entitled to>prevent European In
reference in American affairs by claim
ing unqualifiedly the right as far as pos
sible to prevent the growth OF internal
conditions in the C entral and Southern
American states from which European in
reference might directly develop.

A Suffrage "Victory."

The English suffragettes have had their
way They have compelled the house Of
commons to vote on the equal suffrage
bill and have the satisfaction of seeing
upon the record a minute showing that
on the merits of the measure go members
voiced their approval and 100 their disap-
proval. AS far as this goes a majority
of 100 votes appears in the lower house
of parliament in favor OF woman
suffrage But there Is little cause for re-
ioicinx. ine smuch as Immediately after
taking this vote the commons. by 80 to
lis. referred the bill to the committee OF
the whole. where it will rest for the re-
mainder of the session, inasmuch as 1t
is not the pleasure of the minister to
assign it a place In the legislative sched-
uie. In some respects this performance
is like that which was formerly an an
nual feature of the congressional pro-
cedure In this country. Regularly when
the legislative. executive and judicial ap-
preparation bill was under discussion in
the committee OF the whole the paragraph
providing funds to maintain the civil
service commission was stricken out Of
the bill by q viva voce vote OF over
whelming proportions. Then quite as
regularly when the bill came into the
house from committee of the whole and
the roll was called the appropriation
was restored by Q large majority. 1t wa,
perfectly understood that members who
voted in the obscurity Of the committee
of the whole to strip the civil service COM
mission of all its power by cutting of
its funds were perfectly safe In thus
marching up the hill of spells. knowing
that there was an easy descent on the
other side. So in this case Of the suffrage
bin In England doubtless large numbers
of legislators kept their records straight
with the women by voting for the prtn-
ciples Of a bilr which later they REUSED

The Newark Situation.

Several men charged with participation
IN the recent riot at Newark. Ohio. are
in Jail there, and. since these arrests.
other men have left town. Is flight con-
fession? Or is excitement so high these
runaways are merely seeking quiet and
repose? Is it their purpose TO return as
soon as life in the town has become
normal again?
And vet neither the mayor Of Newark
nor the sheriff of the county-one of
whom had addressed the mob, and the
other faced il and surrendered--could give
Gov. Harmon the name of a single one
OF the rioters The town is small, and
faces are familiar. Not a mention has
been made of masks worn. Presumably
none was worn. The mayor and the
sheriff being public officials must know
the men whose votes they have solicited
and the votes of many of whom they
have received. But suddenly they were
smitten with ignorance or forgetfulness
and could name nobody.
This is one of the difficulties usually
encountered in handling a situation
created by mob violence. Another will
present itself when men arrested are
brought to trial Witnesses on the stand
will be smitten with ignorance or forget
fulness- Jurors in the box will be ad-
dressed by eloquent lawyers. who will
harp upon the string of neighborliness
and fair play. Better that ninety-nine
guilty men escape rather than that one
innocent man-and your neighbor-be pun
ished
Witnesses and jurors alike will con-
tinue to reside in Newark after the trials
are over. They will meet on the streets
and elsewhere the relatives and friends
OF the defendants, and II they have aided
In conviction the resentment In some
fashion of these relatives and friends will
have to be reckoned with. If they have
aided in acquittal their popularity with
the persons who followed the trials with
most interest win be increased.
Time also will play a part Excite
ment Will die down. The man lynched
was an outsider. What business had he
"a raw youth from another state-to
NEEDLE with things he did not under
stand and had no legitimate connection
with? The alleged lynchers are homefolk.
and In many particulars good fellows.
And all the rest Of the jargon that goes
with such a situation anywhere and
everywhere.
Nevertheless, great as the difficulties
now are. and may become by trial time,
Gov Harmon's course is entitled to the
highest praise. Every effort should be
made to run the lynchers down. and to
punish them when cornered. This mob.
We are told. grew out of a long defiance
OF the law In the community. Such being
the case. every lawbreaker there shares
indirectly in responsibility for the blood
the mob shed.

The Langdon Death Trap.

Another life was sacrificed at the Lang
don open grade crossing Tuesday. The
victim in this case. 1t appears. took his
own chance in trying to cross the tracks
In the face of an approaching train. of
which warning had been given by the
ringing of a bell. This fact, however.
offers no comfort to the public, exposed
at this point to destruction at any hour
Of the day or night. At this crossing
there are no gates and there is no watch
man. Upon a bell alone depends the Sc
curity of the street users. The tracks
cross a large open space over which there
is much traffic. Trains are constantly
passing in both directions, and 1t is a
marvel of good fortune that the death
roll at Langdon, which is shockingly
large. Is not many times greater. Every
death that has been caused there is an
indictment against the railroad company
for its maintenance of a man trap.
Millions Of dollars have been spent in
Washington for the elimination Of grade
crossings. The city streets have been
carried over and under the rails in a
manner to permit continuous trafiic with
out the slightest danger. Yet Immediate
ly outside Of the comparatively narrow
area of protection thus established is a
zone of deadly danger, where the tracks
are left exposed at grade, even as in the
Langdon case. without the pretense of
protection afforded by q so-called safety
gate.
1t would seem to be within the power
of the District Commissioners to take
cognizance of this condition at Lansdon
and compel the railroad company to es-
tablish at that point some form of barrier
which would positively keep or the tracks
even such intrepid trespassers as the vic
tim Of Tuesdays accident. There Is no
consolation to the public in the fact that
this man. according to the testimony,
drove upon the rails after he had been
warned by a bell that the train was ap-
preaching. Conditions constantly occur
In which such a warning would be value
less to even the most cautious person. An
electric bell Is subject to arrangement.
Frequently 1t does not ring when the
train approaches Sometimes the wind
browns the sound. Reliance upon such
a device is an invitation to destruction,
and the sooner the District government
interferes to compel the adoption of other
measures of protection the better for
the public security. Ultimately this and
every other grade crossing within the
District of Columbia should be eliminated
by law.
