Attack on the Monroe Doctrine.

The essay in the Atlantic Monthly
by Professor Bingham, of Yale, en-
titled "The Monroe Doctrine an OBJ
solete Shibboleth," which has been
read in the House and printed in the
Congressional Record, proposes to
abolish that self-satisfying policy main
tanned so long by the United States.
The administration policy seems al
together in favor of the Monroe doc
trine, as it should be. 1t is the destiny
OF this republic, at the head of the
free nations of this hemisphere, to
make fight for constitutional govern
nent, liberty regulated by law, and for
the general good
1t is also the duty OF the United
States to establish close relations OF
friendship that will hold the Latin
nations together; and while the inde-
pendence of each is guaranteed and
preserved, and while the people of
each country shall have their own gov
ernment, each country shall be pro-
tected from revolutionary attacks by
politicians who would overturn the
public order, the constitutional govern
ment and the rights and Liberties of
its people for their own advancement,
or who would call to their aid Eu-
ropean powers.
This can be done, as the vast ma
jority of the American people is in
favor of it. There may be needed a
sacrifice on our part of men and
money, but it goes with the upholding
of the Monroe doctrine.

Infant Hygiene at school.

From the Philadelphia Telegram.
Out in Cleveland seventeen trained
nurses are now giving lessons in infant
hygiene to the girl pupils attending thir-
teen public schools. 1t Is reported that
the girls have shown an intense and de-
lighted interest IN the lessons, absorbing :
eagerly all that relates to the proper
care of babies. This kind of instruction
in the public schools represents some
thing more and better than the activity
OF faddists. America. like other coun-
tries. has a very large infant death rate
Thousands of infants die annually be-
cause they have not received proper care
II is easily conceivable that the proper
training of girls might save the lives Of
many babies.

SOME MARKET STRENGTH. But Stock Movement Irregular and
 Spasmodic on the Whole.

New York, Aug. 7-Manipulation of a professional character aided by such factors as betterment in the Balkan situation and helpful rains over some of the parched agricultural centers Of this country, infused a measure of strength in todays stock market. The movement as a whole, however, was so irregular and spasTnodic as to car ry little conviction of public interest, much less support
 No small part of the further rise was made in the fact of continued re- sistence by the bear faction. There still exists, according to trustworthy accounts, a large short interest in the highly speculative issues, this fact be- inb borne out in the leaning rates for those stocks. Steels advance to it's best figure in some months was the more surprising, inasmuch as it disre garded reports of price concessions for certain finished products.
 The effect of the improved crop outlook was seen in the better tone of the Southern and Southwestern rail- way shares, while Reading and Le- high Valley, especially the latter, prob ably owed their recovery to excellent earning exhibits. St Louis and San Francisco also reported very good earnings, which were reflected in a smart rise in the general fives.

San Francisco. Aug. 7-The appoint ment by James E.

LEATA J STEPS CIRCUIT IN 2.O3
Wins Burick House Stake from Frank Bogash Jr in Five Heat RaceFast Contest in 2:O5 Pace-Athletics Take One More from Cleveland

Kalamazoo, Mich, Aug. 7-Sensat- ional racing marked the fourth day of the grand circuit races. Five heats were necessary to decide the winner of the Silver Cup in the Burdick House Stake of $6,000 for 2:12 pacers. This event was raced on the four heat plan and Leata and Frank Bogash Jr., af- ter winning two heats each, raced the fifth heat alone. Not until the home stretch was reached was there an in dication of which might win, Leata J pressing under the wire only half a length ahead. Stetbrino Lad, the fav- orite, never got out of second place in any of the heats. The second fastest time of the year was made in the third heat when Leata J stepped mile in 2:03. This heat was one of the best of the meet, the entire field being punched until well into the home stretch. Leata did not show we'll in the first two heats but in the next three she was in front most of the time, displaying wonderful speed on the home stretch.
 The 2:22 trot was a, walk away from Eleanor G. In all three heats she raced ahead of the field and won as she pleased, eased up. Breaks in the second heat put Grace Flagler and Major Russell behind the flag and in the remaining heat Eleanor G and Dublin Lady were alone.
 One of the finest contests of the year developed in the 2:05 pace. Flower Direct and Jr. Dan. Patch raced neck and neck in the first heat, the latter winning. In the second heat these two were noses apart all down the stretch, the mare getting the decision by the closest of margins. In the final heat the Patch horse fell back, Zombrewer landing in second place.
