auditing the books of Decatur for sew

condition of Decatur is in first class
shape. He says that the assets of the city
for 1912-1s1S exceed the liabilities over

that Decatur has in Mayor Henry A.

built, costing over $4,000 and a number
of miles of streets have been paved and
sidewalks built. The city is growing more
rapidly than ever before.

Solution in Frank Cooperation

He holds that the proper solution of
problems like that now presented by Mex
leo lies in frank cooperation between the
United States and what he calls the A B
c powers of South America. So far as
the Monroe doctrine in it's original appli-
cation goes, those states have he con-
tends, clearly outgrown it.
He contends that 1t Is the duty of the
United States to definitely and publicly
abandon the Monroe doctrine and enun-
ciate new kind Of foreign policy
While 1t Is quite evident that there are
some members of Congress who entertain
the views of DIR. Bingham and Director
General Barrett. it Is also evident that
such feeling or sentiment has not taken
hold of any material number. There
seems to be on the contrary feeling
with quite a number that the co-opera-
ton suggested so far as the South Amer
lean republics are concerned could be had
without the abandonment of the Monroe
doctrine, and that there is nothing in
that doctrine to prevent such a co-opera-
ton. The Monroe doctrine was enun-
ciated to protect the integrity of weak

Much Time in South America
DR.. Bingham has passed much of his
time III South America as an explorer
and student. He strongly supports the
view that by adhering to the Monroe doc
trlne, especially the advanced construc-
ton given ii by Richard Olney in 1895,
and Mr. Roosevelt In 1894 the United
states has suffered greatly in the ewes
of all Latin America. The Olney doctrine
that ''the United States is practically
sovereign on this continent he contends
aroused the antagonism and the fears OF
our southern neighbors. and their suspi-
eions of us have greatly increased since
our war with Spain, and the "spoilation

bia in the matter of the Panama canal
strip, the assumption of control over the
finances of Santo Domingo, the frequent
landing of marines to put down or keer
down political ferment in Nicaragua and
other states of Central America, and the
sending of American troops to the Mexi
can border.
These things. so says DR.. Bingham
have convinced Latin America that under
guise of the Monroe doctrine it is the
American policy to act as international
pol1ceman, or at least as an elder
brother with a big stick, whenever the lit
tie fellows get too fresh.''
He contends that from no standpoint Is
this attitude worth while. The logica
result of such a policy, he says, is not
only to keep alive the suspicious against
us that have proved such stumbline
block to the advance of American COM
merce but it must necessarily carry with
it responsibilities of very grave and
far reaching nature.

The industry is many small grow

There are 10 independent canneries

There are many small producers

Considering the difference in labor

PLANS TO PAY

President ContempIates Trip
Through to Philippines
Next Fall

President Woodrow Wilson himself
will visit Hawaii next fall, according
to reports that have recently come
from the mainland.
On January 26 a report was tele-
grapbed from Washington that when
President Wilson has the extra ses-
sion Of Congress off his hands he will
visit Hawaii, the Philippines and Alas
ka. The extra session Is expected to
end early In September, and the DEM
ocratic presidents trip would accord
ingly' begin about September Is.
Under date Of Jan. 26 the following
telegraphed report was sent from
Washington:
"President-elect Wilson plans to
personally Investigate conditions in
the Philippines and Alaska, according
to information obtained here today
from one of the governors closest
congressional advisers and from other
congressman who have been to Tren-
ton recently. ."~
The trip to the Philippines, accord
ing to the governors present plan, is
to be made soon after the extra ses-
sion, which will begin about March
18th, has ended. This would make the
date for the new presidents voyage to
the far east about the middle of next
September. .~
Wilson is reported to have fully de-
cided to investigate conditions in the
Philippines at first hand. This means
that there will be mo action by Con
sress on the Jones bill giving the Fill
