AMERICAN DUTY UNDER THE
MONROE DOCTRINE.

AiONhOb DOti IbiNLs
The responsibilities Of the United
States in relation to the republics Of Cen
trail and South America are not to be
ignored or evaded. Neither are they TO
be distorted or exaggerated Certain
duties, partly neigbborly, partly selfish,
would have existed, and doubtless would
have been fulfilled, had there never been
any Monroe Doctrine, or any growth of
that doctrine far beyond its original In
tent. With that doctrine in existence,
however, and with its assumption Of au-
thority, American responsibility concern
ing those states is measurably increased ;
and that, too, partly on altruistic and
partly on selfish grounds. We may say
that nothing that concerns the stability
or integrity of our southern neighbors Is
O matter OF Indifference to us. But that
may be said, and meant, and fulfilled,
without making this country either the
common debt collector or the bailif of
the Western Hemisphere.
That is presumably the view with
which the Secretary OF State returns
from his southern Journeys. He is re-
ported, indeed TO hold that since we
forbid European nations TO intervene in
the affairs of those countries we must
ourselves see to it that the latter main
tain governments which will fulfil their
international obligations. That is right,
but it must not be distorted into an un-
warranted significance. 1t is, of course.
not true that. as some profess to think.
we have built wall of complete seclu-
sion around the American republics On
the contrary, we have acauiesed in the
cultivation of much closer relations be-
tween them and Europe than we our
selves enjoy with them. We have not

STATUS OF CARDINALS
Marquise de Fontenoy Replies to Mr.
G. Whitley Mullins Criticism.
rn the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In common, doubtless with many or
your readers | was greatly surprised to
sec a statement In your issue of the 10Th
ult over the signature "Marqulse de Fonte-
noy," 70 the effect that an arrangement
had been inaugurated by the late King
Edward VII whereby O Cardinal OF tho
Roman Church 'in his quality as prince Of
the blood" is accorded a precedence not
only over the Archbishop Of Canterbury
prlmate Of all England. but over all Tor
elgn ambassadors, as non-royal represent
atves OF foreign sovereigns. This state
ment is made with such apparent author-
ity and clrcumstantiality Of presentation as
IS calculated to carry conviction to all not
specially informed on the subject. In
point Of fact, however nothing could be
further from the truth, as respects tho
British court at least, than the situation
thus presented.
In tho first place, as your correspondent
truly says, "the table Of precedence In
England, dating from the Reformation, Is
statutory, and the names of cardinals do
not figure thereon" BY statute (3l Henry
VIII, ch. 10, etc. all dignitarles OF the
Church of Rome We're excluded not only
from court, but from the realm OF Eng
land and 30 far as their status In court IS
concerned such Is the law to-day, to whae-
ever extent that law. as respects Its prac-
teal enforcement. may have become dead
letter There are only two ways In Whlch
Roman cardinals could regain the status
they enjoyed In England prior to the Refor-
mation-viz., either by royal proclamation
as in the case OF county court judges (see
"St. James Gazette" cited IS Am. Law
Jour-; Sil, Si2, September. october, 1850; or
else by statutory enactment. 1t is safe TO
say that had the late King "proclaimed
the restoration OF cardinals to their former
status and dignity In England there would
have been an explosion Of public sentiment

would have been ringing in our ears to-
day 1t is hardly necessary TO say that no
statute has been passed by Parliament

Miller believes that system Of lights over

farms will keep down tho damage until the
plants arc large enough to withstand the
attacks. The lights, no says. will draw tho
bugs into the water and make for their

Raspberry Jam.

Now being the season for making
raspberry jam, the following recipe is
offered as a suggestion:
Take a pound of sugar-or, better
still, pound and a quarter-to each
pound of fruit. Macerate. the rasp
berries for three or four hours In
powdered sugar. Then put them into
a preserving pan with half the sugar
and cook them on quick fire. When
the raspberries have melted pour the
whole on a rather fine sieve, SO that
the extremely small seeds cannot
pass through. Rub them through the
sieve with a wooden spoon. Put the
pulp back into the preserving pan
with the other half Of the sugar Boil
up quickly until the jam has attained
a suitable consistence. Take the pan
off the fire, allow to cool and pour
into pots.-Ladies' World.

USING WATER TO COOL FOOD
Temperature May Be Lowered Appre.
ciabIy by Arrangement Simple
In the Extreme.

There are many ways of lowering
temperature by utilizing the fact
that water when evaporating draws
off heat from surrounding objects. If
a pitcher of water be wrapped with a
cloth which is kept saturated and ex-
posed to a draft of air the tempera-
ture of the water in the pitcher will
be lowered by several degrees.
A receptacle in which food is plac
ed may be cooled in the same way

half dozen very tiny holes, and when
filled with water 1t supplied just
enough water.

CELEBRATE JULY 26.

The postoffice department celebrated
it's Fourth of July on July 26. 1t was
in 1851 that the progenitor of the
present postoffice was planned, when
William and Mary, by letters patent,
granted to one Thomas Neale, master
of the mint, constituted him the first
postmaster general of America. Neale
delegated the task Of establishing a
postal service in the wilderness of
the new world to versatile, energetic
Scotchman, Andrew Hamilton. Ham
ilton's first service, weekly post
was from Portsmouth, N. H., to Bos-
ton, Saybrook. New York, Philadel-
phia, Maryland and Virginia, though
the service was dependent to large
degree upon the weather. The re-
ceipts of the postofflce of New York
city during the year 1893 were e61.
Then England bought 1t back in 1907,
paying Neale for his grant s1,664.
One hundred years ago the whole
country had only $500 postoffces, as
against $3.50 in 1910. The total re-
ceipts in the earlier year were S551,-
694 Since then they have been null
tiplied more than 400 times to reach
the s224,12S,657 of 1910. And it was
on July 26, 1775, that the postoffice
department was really established, al
though it was then very much like 1t
Is now
