STRANGE COUNTRY IS OMAN
ecmething About the Suitanate at the
Southeast End Of the Ara
bian Peninsula.

One Of the least known countries Of
the Arabian peninsula is the sultanate
Of Oman, which occupies the south
eastern extremity. The country Is
largely mountainous. The area has
not been exactly determined, as the
western, or desert, border has never
been fixed. The population, which
ranges from 100000 to 100000 is dis
tributed mostly along the seacoast
and a few interior valleys that can
be irrigated. There are no rivers, and
the annual rainfall is not more than
five inches. Wells are the only source
OF water. The Tropic of Cancer
crosses the sultanate, and while the
winters are pleasant the summers are
long and extremely hot. Arabic is
the language generally spoken,
though in the ports many persons
speak Persian, Baluchi and Hindu
stani, and every native merchant can
conduct his business correspondence
In either English or French. The
sultan or any Of his wallis, or COVER.
nors, decides a case which may be
brought before them without refer
tnce to any other case or to any law,
except local customs and such pre-
cepts Of the Koran as may be deemed
applicable. Commercial law is un.
known. Wages, formerly extremely
low, have been increasing steadily, a
condition said to be due not to any
increase in the demand for labor, but
TO a deficiency in the supply caused
by the dying out Of the sedee, or ne
gro, population since the importation
Of slave cargoes ceased. The prevail.

REINSTATEMENT OF
MONROE DOCTRINE

Granted that the Lodge resolution
just reported to the senate involves
an extension of the Monroe Doctrine
! It is in complete and logical accord
with that great American theory and
national rule of conduct.
Our Government holds and has held
that there are certain things which
it will not allow foreign power to
do on this continent, north or south.
No territory may be acquired, for ex-
ample. 1t is proposed to prohibit
equally, such acquisition made indi.
rectly. We could not permit nation
to buy a naval base here. We won't
permit foreign corporation to ac-
quire a terminal for steamship line
which II the occasion arose might be
turned into a naval base.
This is sound law and sound sense.
He who does thing through another
does it himself and the receiver is
as bad as the thief. The spirit Of
the Monroe Doctrine is as important
as its letter. We propose to see that
both are observed by all. our great
and good friends. ....
But essentially the. Doctrine re-
mains unchanged, II the application
is new. For any Power to object to
our restatement of the celebrated the
DRY, now as fundamental as the fun
damental law itself, would be as ri
diculous as it would be for some one
in a congregation of moral and law
abiding persons to get UP and stamp
out Of church when the point was
reached in the service at which the
Ten Commandments were read.

matter of-course procedure. 1t is idle
to think of getting up any excitement
when everyone knows that the terms
of fellowship are complete submission
to the will of one individual, and that
any one revolving against that dictum
would be summary pitched out. How
under such conditions could any op
position be either expected or toll
Grated?
The complete submission Of the
convention to Roosevelt was man. fest
In the unanimous consent to former
Secretary Garfield's motion that Col.
onel Roosevelt be invited to appear

blage tho second day. This was COR

eryone who does not agree to cup
port him, as an undesirable citizen,
one who is willing to take his place
among liars thieves, and political bri-
gands. As to this speech itself, there
is in considerable variance from his
key note" speech delivered before
the Ohio constitutional convention
last spring, but there is in it the
evil spirit of intolerance, vindictive
ness, hate, and self, assertiveness that
distinguish that illadvised vehement
Grafton.
The proceeding of the convention
are by no means of the Importance
that Colonel Roosevelt and his adher-
ents assume. The American people.
for the most part, will vote for the
regular party nominees, and Colonel
Roosevelt's bolt will go down into
history as unsuccessful, just as other
bolts have gone before.
