LISTS FIFTY OF THEM

Little Rock, Jan. 1S.-After a week required to properly select the mem bers of the various committee Speak, CT Hardage of the House today an nounced the permanent committees for the session.
 To these committees the various bills that may need consideration of an outside nature, more in the inter- est of which representative of vari- ous parties, factions or corporations, may wish to appear will be referred. Committee consideration is often necessary in order to simplify action in the House, and to facilitate bu:i- ness by getting rid of useless verbi- age or straightening out patent faults in the construction of the bill.
 Also, it is frequently necessary or advisable to offer amendments which can be done in committee and agreed to, without taking up the time of the entire legislative body, these recom- mendations and amendments being Ilater agreed to or rejected in the assembly.
 Many of the committees, also. are required to make investigations of various departments, in order to recommend to the full body just what k need for bettblmsnt,, etc. It ire quently happens that nearly half the membership of one house or the other is engaged in this committee work, much of which can be done when the regular bodies are not in session. This also indicates the fact that a legislator has something to do even when he is not sitting at his desk during regular session grind.

UNCLE SAM AS BAD DEBT COL.
LECTOR.

The commingled gossip Of Mexico,
Europe and the United States inter-
weaves the Monroe doctrine with
money claims and hints at interven-
ton on that score as if this govern
.nent were under obligations to act as
debt collecting agency for the sub
jects of European powers.
While developments are possible
that might suggest sound reasons for
intervention, the itch for intervention
is an incurable disease with GER
tain type of citizens and more gro
tesqac cause than the one assigned
for encouraging the malady could not
be imagined. The history of Mexico
itself furnishes very instructive ex-
ample both of the debt collecting abuse
and CT conditions that constitute an
adequate cause for applying the much
ovorworked doctrine.
When France, England and Spain
interviewed in 1851 Swiss financial
adventurer who masqueraded as a
French citizen put forward claim
of $50,000,0O0 against the Mexican
government on loan of S550,000,
and secured the backing Of the French
political adventurer, Napoleon III.
Jaurez, the Mexican president, offered
to repay the actual loan with interest,
but that did not satisfy either of
the adventurers. Napoleon supported
the loan with the idea of setting up a
European empire on American soil.
England and Spain were also back
ing private claims which probably had

mands, but they shrank from the en-
pire busines sand withdrew from the
war. Napoleon then went on alone
to challenge the Monroe doctrine. 1t
was perfectly clear case and the
challenge was accepted Released from
its civil war, the United States moved
its troops to the Mexican border. Ma

milan, was left to take care of him

dose of his own medicine by executing
him.
We hear nothing of new empires

which more or less dirt probably ad-

is our duty to prevent any foreign
power from asserting any Just claim
and acting as its own debt collector.
The Monroe doctrine gives us respon-

there is very little probability that
it will ever be challenged again as it
was in the early SOS. A scrumpu-
