The Monroe Doctrine.

Please print the definition of the
Monroe Doctrine, or the whole doctrine
ARTHUR TUCK
The Monroe Doctrine ia frequently
invoked and appealed to in connection
with the troubles of the American ro-
pupiics TO the south OF us and our
relations 10 them. at the time ii was
cnuncintcd the United states had not
long emerged from It's two wars with
England and established n government
OF sufficient stability and pcrlnanency
10 take self-assertivc stand OH our
rights and dignity as nation. 1t
was in his annual message to Congress
or December ., 1879. that President
Monroe said:
Ihc occasion has been judged
proper tor asserting as a principle IN
which tho rights and interests OF tho
United states are involved, that the
american continents, by the free and
independent condition which they have
assumed and maintain, arc hcnceforth
not to be considered s subjects for
future colonization by any European
power"
PRESIDENT Mohroc further said in
entnclatinE his famous doctrine:
In the wars Of tho European powers
IN matters relating to themselves. we
have never taken any part, nor does
II comport with our policy so to do
IT is only when our rights are in
VOWED, or seriously mcnaccd, that We
resent injuries. or make preparations
for our defense. With the movements
IN this hemisphere, VIC are, Of ncccs-
Sity. moro Immediately connected, and
by causes which must be obvious 10
all enlightened and impartial OBJ
servers The political system OF the
Allied Powers is essentially different
in this respect from that of America
rms difference proceeds from that
which exists i'll their respective gov
crnments; and to tho defense of our
own, which has ben achieved BY tho
loss Of so much blood and treasure.
and niatured BY the wisdom Of our
most enlightened citizens and under
which We have enjoyed uncxampled
felicity.

Tie news of the recent action of the

the House is immedately responsive 10
the will OF the people and expire
popular sentiment Several DAYS ago
an adverse report was made 10 the
House on petition for absolute prohi-
hilton in the state. Without even a
division vote, this report Was mmed-
lately accepted BY the House and this
action serves notice on everyone that
Massachusetts is satisfied with her
liquor laws,
The Boston Globe says:
This State has tried prohibition in
Years gone by and found it Wholly UNI
satisfactory. Since then the Massa chu-
sets liquor laws. all resting on local
option. have been developed. AT the
present time, therefore, when other
states arc full! of agitation over prohi-
bition, our Legislature, understanding
the public sentiment on the subject
does not have to take even Il vote on
prohibitory measure. =
This policy OF letting we'll enough
alone. as our contemporary says. is
right. The citizens OF Massachusetts,
are satisfied with their liquor legisla-
ton and "it is a waste of time for any
one to endcavor to get the State again
TO bring on itself the trouble INSOFAR

Young Patrick was a thorough
idlcr. and it is said Of him that he
loved idleness for its own sake"
Such is a sentence in a sketch of
Patrick Henry. lately printed by the
Boston Globe. Which ought to know
better. Patrick Henry was just ilKe
other boys OF his day and time. no
more industrious. no more idle, though
possessed OF finer mind than most
Of his fellows. This indictment against
Henry as a youth seems to have been
vitalized By William Writ in his 80
OF the great Virginia patriot. Appar-
entity. Writ in writing his book. de-
liberately failed to take into account
the estimate Of Henry. as lad written
by Colonel Samuel Meredith, who lived
but four miles from Henry, and mar
rcd his sister The Meredith narra-
tive distinctly creates the impression
that Patrick was just an ordinary boy,
fond OF fishing and hunting In his
picture Of young Henry, Writ seems to
have yielded TO All impulse to romance
Wccm's lifc Of Washington had been
much laughed at in Wirt's time. be-
cause the book almost deified Wash
ington as youth and Writ may have
been unwilling to risk anything by
denying that Henry was indolent
The whole matter Is thrcshed out
by George Morgan in hts admirable
book, The True Patrick Henry" In
which he adduces considerable evidence
to show that the boy Henry was no
moro incident than the average lad.
Morgan very strilngly says in his
defence Of Henry:
One Of his boyhood joys was to sit
IN shady place and watch the cork
on his nshing line. Or fiat on his
back with his hands clasped under
his head and his legs crossed in air,
ne would watch tho bu2zards in their
Hyratlons full mile aIoft. Considering
me native wholesomeness and acute
ness of his mind. he was probably
learning more than he could have
gathered from all the Jarratts in the
colony. For who shall say that nc
WAS not more studiOus while TINS
prone upon his back than Il he had
! bech bench fast III a schoolroom thumbs
Ing a dull book? Ills eyes were sharp:
MS memory was keen; his whole mind
plastic receptive, rctcntivc. Like john

IS best shown In what lie said and did
