The Monroe Doctrine.

Speaking of the Monroe doctrine
he said that the United States con-
sidercd herself responsible for the
liberties of the smaller nations Of the
Western hemisphere. He could see
what was in the mind of the Presi-
dent at this time-that the RESPONSE
bility rested with the United States
to secure good government and fair
treatment for those countries.
He interpreted President Wilson's
policy to mean that the United States
was ready to accept the responsibility
of insuring good terms herself in
those countries and to those who
went there, and that the United
States should set up high ideals Of
policy, of justice and of righteous
ness.
81 am not sure that any one should
speculate upon the Interpretation of
that policy" continued the High
Chancellor, but I have thought my
self at liberty to say what I have. 1t
is true, indeed, that high spirit and
a high aim have been brought into
the policy of the United States in its
dealings with adjacent countries, and
it is because the President has taken
| the attitude he has-a step which
none can but admire, whatever it's
consequences may be-that / propose
| good health to Woodrow Wilson, the
President, and to Woodrow Wilson,
! the man."

The Nations Ideal.

Referring to President Wilson, he
said:
Before he became President Mr..
Wilson was a thinking man and a
moralist. In studying his career |
cannot fail to be impressed by his
detached character and find that he
has not ceased to be thinker and a
moralist because he has become the
holder Of great office. We see in
him the aspirations and ideals Of his
nation expressed to the world. 1t is
not only his expressed declaration
that the policy Of the United States
is not one Of conquest or annexation,
but the world looks to the United
States, with it's enormous position
and possessions, to carry on its tra-
ditions without adding to it's possess
SionS.
THAT is our course also. Nor is it
the case that when the United States
intervenes in any matter it is done
for its own advantage. 1t was not
the case with Cuba, whom the Uni
ted States restored to independence" /"

with a strip eleven inches deep across
he bottom for pockets. The remain
Ing eight inch strip of denim was cut
into three pockets, two of which were
placed above and one as a patch pocket
over the middle of the lower row.
Tape was used for finishing the raw
edges Of the three pockets and served
also for dividing the eleven inch strip
into three more pockets. All raw edges
were finished with wide white tape
stitched twice. 4 facing Of thinner
cloth was sewed on top. and draw
strings were run through.
The pockets held plate holders. focus

One upper pocket was lined with
chamois skin for the shutter. with bulb
and tubing which needed special pro-
lection. All pockets closed with a
snap ut the top. and the whole was
folded completely when not in use.

proposition. however. was not received

A SPECIAL ORDER
FROM LINCOLN
BY J. n.


~HOMAS F. STEVENS of Pal.
myra, ILL.,, is one among the
few remaining number of
those who remember the early
days of the rebellion and the distract
ing political struggles Of that time. Mr..
Stevens, who was first sergeant of
Company 3, One Hundred and Twen-
ty-second Illinois volunteers. recently
told me some very interesting details
of the situation among the soldiers in
the early sixties.
During October, 1864, while waiting
for his regiment to come in from its
pursuit of General Sterling Price, he
served as adjutant at the convalescent
barracks in st. Louis. Four hundred
men were stationed there at that time,
representing many regiments and
states. About one-third Of the boys
were for General Mcclellan for presi-
dent, while the remaining two-thirds
were for Mr.. Lincoln. About a hun
dred were from Illinois, which state,
owing to legislative enactment, did not
permit its troops to vote in the field.
although many other states had made
provision to that end.
As election day drew near the anx-
fety of the men to exercise the right of
franehise-the right of American citi-
zenship-became intense. Southern
sympathizers had spread a report that
the government had issued an order
%forbidding the furloughing of McClel-
Ian men home to vote. But the lie was
given to this report in an order from
the president directing that soldiers re-
siding in states where no provision for
voting in the field had been made
should be given furloughs home and
for a length Of time that would give
them ample opportunity to vote, to
vote as they pleased, and return to
their respective commands.
The result was that many soldiers
who had intended voting against Mr..
Lincoln voted for him. because he had
given them an untrammeled ballot and
had proved to them that he was not
the narrow minded partisan his enc
mics tried to make him appear.
Lieutenant Chapman of Mr.. Stevens
regiment was in command Of the bar
racks. and when he began to consider
the matter he found that no one had
authority to issue the furloughs that
were being asked for except General
SchOfield, and he was away after
