Navy Budget VS.. Monroe Doctrine.

The European Concert is so en-
crossed in the shipbuilding contest"
between England and Germany that
statesmen over there fail to understand
why there should be hesitancy on the
part of the United States to construct
additional warships. The deadlock be-
tween the House of Representatives and
the Senate on this matter has given rise
to all kinds of rumors in European pa
pers, not the least interesting of which
is one that the United States has in
mind to abandon the Monroe doctrine
The Saturday Review, London, opines
that anti-imperialism is a fixed Demo-
cratic policy, and that therefore the
present course is not surprising, the
Democratic party being in the majority
in the House. The influential Vienna
Neue Freie Presse says that it would
welcome a decline in the American
navy, because England then would be
in better position to dictate Americas
world policy" The Leipziger Grenz-
baten goes a step still further. 1t says
the moment is opportune for the Euro
pean powers to suggest to the United
States that the Monroe doctrine be for
mally abandoned.
The independence Beige and the Paris
Temps print semi-oficially quite an
other view of the matter, namely, that
activity of Germany in the Mediter-
ranean has caused both England and
France to trust their rights in Central
America to the United States govern
ment Prof Roland Usher, of the
Washington University, in his essay on
the subject in the Atlantic Monthly, says
about the same thing in the following
words:
Germany evinced desire to inter-
fere in Venezuela, and the difficulty of
the Mediterranean and Persian situa-
tions made it clear that no strength
could be spared (by France and Eng
land) in the Western Hemisphere"
But there seems to be compromise
IN sight as to our battleship programme.
The Democratic leaders in the House
simply cannot hold out much longer
against public opinion. Had DR.. VIII
son had the frmness to take up the
Democratic platform in his speech of
acceptance and stated to what extent
his pledge to maintain an adequate
and well-proportioned navy" ought to
be observed, the House Democrats
would have been driven ere this to sur
render. But with characteristic indie
cision the candidate lodged the naval
issue. His followers explain this in
the Democratic press that he did not
want to be caught in the navy tangle"

Third Party Thieving.

The victory of the Progressives in
the Kansas primaries, unless the United
States Supreme Court interferes, will
be that the Roosevelt electors will be
placed upon the Republican ballot. This
means that Kansas will be counted in
favor of candidate not nominated by
the party, and who is not even a mem
Der of the party. The New York
Evening Post discusses this paradox
as follows:
'What is this third party of all the
talents and all the virtues attempting to
do in Kansas and elsewhere? 1t is
seeking to cheat the voters. 1t is en-
deavoring to take advantage of tangled
political situation and a technical in
terpretation of the election laws in or
der to commit fraud. As one of the
judges of the Kansas Supreme Court
remarked, it is guilty of false pretenses.
At least eight electors are, as osten-
sible Republicans, asking the votes of
Republicans, at the same time that they
will not vote in the electoral college for
the Republican candidate for the Presi-
dency. Whatever the law may be,
the morals of this Roosevelt scheme are
such as to put the vilest political thim-
ble-rigger to the blush These
gentlemen who set out with the cry,
thou shalt not steal,' are proposing to
steal everything that they possibly can.
The peculiar effrontery of this
surpasses the most shameless instances
of political turpitude."
The Post is perfectly correct in thus
expressing its wrath over such palpa-
bic fraud. No man elected on the Re-
publican electoral ticket has the shadow
of right to vote for any other than
the Republican candidate Suppose tha.
later on Kansas elector should con-
clude that the thing to do was to sup
port Wilson, Would he, as a Republi-
can elector, have the right to vote for
the Democratic candidate?
If they believe that Mr.. Taft should
not be elected, the thing for them to
do is to get off the Republican ballot
What is planned in Kansas is "to as
sassinate the Republican party and then
to pretend they (the Progressives) are
the Republican party"
There is morality for you! Perhaps
the Supreme Court has not the power
to stop the fraud, for it may hold that
the question is altogether political and
not legal But even if so, the people
will understand the situation. 1t is plain
enough. .-.r.

Anti-fy Campaigns.

During the last two or three years
there has been most gratifying public
awakening to the importance of the ex-
termination of the house fly. There has
been a great deal of careful, con-
scientious, educational work done al
most entirely from an unselfsh stand
point. However, like many another i'm
portant movement, several magazines
and papers have taken the matter up
from not wholly disinterested motives,
using If as frst-class copy if not for
out-and-out advertising purposes.
The method of giving prizes to chill
dren for the largest number of flies
killed is not only inadequate, but the
results are very dubious The principle
at stake is not the gathering of the
greatest number of flies, but the re-
moval of the conditions which breed
them. The granting of prizes for dead
flies does not strike at the root of the
matter. which is the removal of the
filth that serves as breeding places. On
the contrary, it tends TO discourage the
removal of the filth. Will child who
is striving to collect a large number
of flies be encouraged to clean up
around the garbage can or the stable
when he is certain that every time he
removes a bit of filth IT will decrease
the number of flies in his traps? Such
contests have in some places led to an
out-and-out breeding of flies.
The fact that child averages a
daily catch of 100000 flies (and in a
local contest claims have been made
that about half million flies have been
caught in single day by one child,
which would mean an average of about
ten flies per second for twelve hours
continuously is, to say the least, not an
evidence that the child is learning to
prevent the breeding of flies by removal
of filth, which is the ostensible purpose
of the contest The effect of such con-
tests upon child is bad in that there
is q temptation to breed flies in order
TO win the prize. Very much more to
