WANTS KEOKUK
70 COME ACROSS
Manager Of Petsch Line Thinks Gate
City Should Furnish About
$4,000 for Road.

NAUvOO, ILL.,. April 3.--The hide
pend ent in It's Wednesday, issue says:
while in Fort Madison last Thurs
day I'VE met Bud Payne, who is pro-
noting the Petsch interurban that Is
to ruiz east of Nauvoo some five miles.
He informed us that he had raised
about $4,000 in stock subscriptions in
Fort Madison and wanted to secure
$4,000 there before he quit, and that
he expected Keokuk to come across
with Aabout $4,000, the remainder of
the $4,000 to be generously sub
scribed by the farmers along the pro-
posed line. Mr.. Payne does not think
that Mr.. Marsh will succeed in build
ing his proposed line, as it would take
a heap of money and money matters
are very close at present. We wonder
how the Petsch line could be financed,
If the Marsh line was unsuccessful.
In the meantime Mr.. Marsh goes right
on with his work, and he isn't asking
the people for any donations, or stock
subscri ptions. In a talk with several
of the business men Of Fort Madison,
who took stock in the Petsch propos-
ed line. we were informed that they
were not in favor of the plans CT the
promoters In building the line east of
NauvCo. for they wanted a connec-
ton with Nauvoo direct, as 1t would
be an important connection. more
than 500 carloads of freight coming in
and going out of here every year.
Mr. Payne intimated to US that it was
the intention of his people to build
the road to Carthage and then on
further to the east. If Mr. Marsh's
road is a sure go, what's the sense of
the Petsch road? 1t would give Han
cock county three or four railroads
traversing about the same territory.

MONROE DOCTRINE
NEEDS EXPANSION
If II Could be Changed Into a Pan

be Better.

PHILADELPHIA, April s. The

American Onion at the opening SEES
sion of the eightsen annual meeting
OF the American Academy OF Politi-
cal and Social Science held here to-
Gay Under the policy which he out
lined, each nation would have the
same rights of attitude, dignity or
position and sense OF independence as
the United States. This would elm
mate thu attitude OF absolute dfcta-
ton and centralized power which the
Monroe doctrine has been interpreted
in Latin America to apply to the re-
lations Of the nations of the western
hemisphere.
Call the Monroe policy the PAN
American policy and make it plain the
United States is not trying to be
papa and mamma to group or
naughty little nations to the south.
was the plea extendeG by Barrett. at
today's session.
ct is not the Monroe doctrine itself
as a. prin ciple but the Interpretation
thereof that is not acceptable to the
majority of Latin American coun-
trias:' he said.
THE Pan-American policy would
adopt, absorb and enlarge the Monroe
doctrine as an original policy Of the
United States into a greatt1 and Pill
American policy, where each nation
would have the same rights of atti-
tude. the same dignity of position, and
the same sense Of independence as
the United States now has. By elimi-
nizing the attitude Of absolute dicta-
ton ,and centralized power long
step will be taken towards a new era
of pan-American comfy and conf
dence."
