Oilt taks longer 60 abandon the Monroe
doctrine khae 6 win to geo esd of the
philippines eor that reason she pres
ent generations need net do muce Cor
gying over the subject unless it affords
amusement % discuss such topia But
there are \ lot IT well Informed men
whe believe that it would be well %
abandon tho Monroe doctrine in Che
interest of better relations with Che
southern republics.
The very fact that II Is still @ Gag
dinal principle OF the United States
makes those countries feel that they

wn consider the size, strength and re-
ODnrces OF Argentine, Brazil and Chile.
Probably there is not the least danger

0Ns Responsibility.
ThAEA are other people who dhink
Chat the continuance Of the Monroe
doctrine entails too much responsible
ity upon this country. 1t means to
them that il we maintain 1t we must
police the American continent At the
demand Of foreign governments we
must see that the southern republics
keep order. preserve the lives and
property Of foreign nations and pay
their debts to the foreigners.
Carried out litsfally 1t would mean
that We must intervene In Nj Aico, but
no one wants the Monroe doctrine con-
strued in that way. And It will not
Sby the present administration.
Not Wantsd IN the South.
japanese and other orientals are not
wanted in the southern states. as is evi-
denced by the protests when it was re
ported they were buying lands in Flor
ida. Southern men have always been
In favor of labor restriction because
they do not want the lower classes of
southern Europe settling in their sec
ton. They welcome immigration from
the northern states and those who
come from northern Europe, but they
will object strongly to orientals. South
ern men were outspoken in support of
California and her contest with the
japanese.
Having Bad Effect.
The absence Of a quorum in the
house and the firm position Of Minority
Leader Mann In refusing to consent to
leaves Of absence unless on account of
illness is having a bad effect in the
house. Here is a result perpetrated by
one who remembered his Longfellow:
Leaves OF absence all remind us
Not at fate should we complain.
For Jim Mann intends to bind US
Tightly with quorum chain.
II Helps Underwood.
The mere fact that It is known that
President Wilson favors the election OF
Congressman Underwood to the senate
IL helping him great DEAL Up to the
time that Underwood entered the con-
test Congressman Hobson was having
things his own way. but the reports
received In Washington indicate that
the Underwood campaign is going for
ward with a rush.
Only "Rretsnding."
Senator Ashurst, who protested so
vigorously against the practice of the
senate ''pingponging' from Monday to
Thursday and from Thursday to Mon
day without eOing any business. says
that - matter OF fact congress is
just pretending" to be in session.
'-TheI9 Is no nse in trying to combine
. vacation with business" says the
Arizona senator. Il have no desire to
stop vacations, but object to most Of
the members OF the senate taking va
cations, leaving few here. adjourn
ing for three days at 4 time. Let's 60
to work or stop entirely. "
Lsf Down the Bars.
Occasionally man In debate lets
down the bars so that some one may
walk right in and trample on him.
Such was the case with Congressman
Bowdle OF Ohio one day when there
was ..scrapping'' going on In the house.
He referred to Jim Mann's assertion
that he (Mann) felt like fighting
cock. Il want to say to this house
now that feel like hen." declared
Bowtlle.
And looks IT, snapped Mann.
or course there was nothing but up
roar and laughter after that Al
though Bowdle later got OF some good
things about being arrested by wire
the ffrst time he returned home and
the necessity for having his clothes re-
paired. making clothes mean political
fences. 1t was all lost because ne left
m opening at the beginning.
An unplsasant Job.
