Americas Good Fortune.

1t is only a few months ago that
favorite subject of debate in schools,
lyceums and debating societies was
Resolved that the Monroe Doctrine
should ee abandoned" or repudiated
or some other method of riddance
Young orators worked themselves up
TO fine frenzy in dwelling upon the
awful folly of Clay, Monroe and others
of strong mind and foresight. But once
more mas the policy proved its use
fulness. The Pittshurg Dispatch calls
attention to 1t in the following editori-
al:
Up to this time probably no thought
full American has omitted to reflect on
the great good fortune of this country
in being separated from the slaughter
and destruction now going on in Eur
ope. With good crops our greatest diff
ficulty is in the confusion of transpor-
tation interests that hats the expor-
tation of our surplus. We retain peace
and order while Europe is a mass Of
confusion and destruction. But prob
ably a small number of the whole have
carried the reflection far enough to
recognize the means by which we have
kept ourselves clear from so destruc-
tive a struggle.
One thing that has helped largely to
this happy result is the Monroe Doc
trine. 1t has been the fashion for a
certain school of late to ridicule that
tenet and to counsel it's abandonment.
But we can now see that to it we owe
the practical immunity of the Western
world from the European DEVILS dance.
Suppose a Hapsburg monarchy We're
seated in Mexico. Imagine the West
Indies and Central America distributed
among European powers. Would not
the destruction and slaughter extend
to this side of the ocean as it did In
the old auarrels between Great Bril-
tain and France? The Monroe Doctrine
was formulated to prevent the extern
sion of the power of the Holy ALI
ance to America, but now 1t is mani
fest as q great benefit to this hemis-
phere.
Another cause of our happy immunity
is the obedience to George Washing
tons final advice: Avoid entangline
alliances" II in the lapse of time we
had thoughtlessly made an alliance
with England, or with France, or with
Germany that bound us to their sup
port we would be in the thick of the
hurry burly.
We can see today how much wisdom
there was in the principles announced
by TIE farseeing and courageous ideal
lists who nearly a century ago told us
that our mission was to keep our
selves separate from European pro-
bleps and to keep European ouarrels
away from this hemisphere. With
gratitude for our good fortune we can
hope to retain il by remaining true
to the principles which they left to
guide us.

The Rules of War.
indianapolis News).


For the basis of the conventions or
war which will govern the interna-
tional conflict in Europe, credit belongs
to America. Lincolns famous "Gener-
al orders No. i00,' posted in the feder-
al army in 1862, was the first formal
codification of the vague rules which
previously had been tacitly accepted,
but not always observed The Lincoln
code, strangely enough, was drawn UP
by Francis Lieber. who, as his name
might imply, was German-American
citizen. BY its terms, simply stated
and promulgated as a military order,
federal officers were bound to observe
and to protect the rights. the lives
and, to great extent, the property of
nom belligerents.
When the civil war was ended this
eodification became the foundation on
which the International convention of
the Brussels conference In 1874. and
the subsequent Hague conferences.
promulgated what are now called the
rules governing modern warfare. From
time to time, later, these rules were
further modified and new rules were
added as changing conditions and i'm
proved armament suggested. They
make war less horrible, to be sure. but
they rid 1t, at best, of only small
measure of its terror and its dread
full results,
Broadly speaking, the convention
safeguards family honor. protects the
defenseless, respects property rights Of
the individual. and clearly defines the
"belligerent" and his status. At the
same time 1t prohibits atrocities. such
as the poisoning of wells, pillage, fore
ing citizens of hostile nation to take
up arms against their own country,
wanton destruction of monuments and
works of art the seizing of submarine
cables, and the discharge of projectiles
from balloons, 1t interdicts. moreover,
the employment Of unusually cruel
weapons, it prohibits declaration that
no quarter will be given, and it obliges
captors to treat captives humanely and
to afford every facility for the opera
ton of the Red Cross forces in their
care of the sick and wounded OF
| friend and foe alike, And finally it
provides that fair warning must be
given before cities are besieged or
| bombarded.
A hundred years ago, with Europe
then as now a vast armed camp, rules
of this sort did not apply. How Ma
poleon dragged his stricken army out
of Russia Is page in history that still
bears witness to the horrors of war
in those days. And what Napoleon's
army did before and afterwards COM
pletes a chapter Of almost unbelievable
atrocities, Even Talleyrand had been
impelled to remark that the business
of war should concern those employed
in it, the soldiers, and that It con-
cerned states and not their nonbellig-
| erent citizens. But today the armies
of Europe fight under different code.
And though war can not be civilized.
even in its best aspect, 1t is something,
ct least. to realize that Its savagery
can be to some extent curtailed.

Democratic PoIities In Hawaii.
(HonoIulu Star-Bulletin).

SldIr
Governor Pinkham's refusal to sur
render his office to the feed-trough
ambitions of little bunch of Demo-
crats-for- jobs only brings upon him
the condemnation OF the Democratic
territorial platform.
OF corse that platform does not rep
resent the sentiment of the Democrats
of this territory. It represents the
spite, the disappointment and the at
tempted vengeance of a clique. The
Star Bulletin showed yesterday that
the nominal trainers of the platform
were but sixteen men, and the actual
trainers an even less number.
The anti Pinkham plank was dictat-
ed not by the Democrats of Hawaii
but by the job-chasers of Pauahi
street.
1t was animated not by the reputable
members of the party who favor a
square deal but by the element that
would rule the governors Office or
ruin the governors administration.
1t was inspired not by any thought
of Justice, nor any desire for terri
toria1 progress, nor any wish Tor CO.
operation. 1t was inspired by malice.
fear and greed.
There may be among these anti
Pinkham shouters a few men who be-
lieve sincerely that the territorial gov
eminent should be surrendered IN
stanter to the Democratic "organiza-
ton" as the legitimate spe!ls OF once
But the majority of the men who have
struck at the governor through an al
legged territorial platform know better
They are striking for a purpose, and
that purpose is to discredit an admin
istration that would not pander to
their sordid desires nor capitulate to
their self-seeking ambitions.

The Farmer Stands the Loss.


Extracts from Speech of Congress
man Hamilton in the National
House.)
Every bushel of imported Canadian
oats displaces a bushel of American
oats, and THE IMPORTER AND
THE DEALER TAKE THE PROFIT
AND THE FARMER STANDS THE
LOSS.
You cut the duty on barley from 80
cents to is cents per bushel. Canada
produces barley and so does North Da-
kota- The price of barley in Chicago
ranged from s1.20 to $3.50 a bushel in
April, 1912, and from 55 to 60 cents
per bushel in April, 1914, and the
BREWER TAKES THE PROFIT
AND THE FARMER STANDS THE
LOSS.
You reduced the duty on barley and
retained a duty of 45 cents a hundred
on barley malt Why? Is Farming
~iliegitimate" and brewing 'iegiti-
mate?
You cut the duty on hay from 81 to
50 per ton. and the dealer and importer
take the profit and THE FARMER
STANDS THE LOSS.
You took the duty off from rye and
the importer and distiller take the
profit and THE FARMER STANDS
THE LOSS.
You took the duty off from potatoes
and the importer and the dealer take
the profit and THE FARMER
STANDS THE LOSS.
Quoting Ex-Governor Fernald of
Maine. Hamilton said:
Ex-Governor Fernald owns a cream
cry and In March, 1913, he was paying
farmers SO cents a pound for butter
fat, but in March, 1914, under the new
tariff law, the price of butter fat was
forced down by Canadian competition
to 20 cents per pound and butter is no
cheaper, AND THE FARMER
STANDS THE LOSS.
The duty on corn was Is cents per
bushel. You made corn free.
- Argentina is the corn belt of
the Southern hemisphere. About TO-
900, 900 bushels of corn have come from
Argentina in the last eight months,
and most of it has been confined to
the Corn Products Refining Company,
Standard Oil corporation.
49, Every bushel of Argentine corn,
grown by cheap labor on cheap land
displaces a bushel of American corn,
and the whiskey distillers, the glucose
trust, and the starch trust take the
profits; the consumer pays no less and
THE FARMER STANDS THE LOSS
$ You have made the American
farmer poorer and the Argentine farm
er richer and corn products are nc
| lower.
*s But when you took the duty off
from corn, you kept duty of $3.50 a
gallon on whiskey and 40 cents hun
dred on corn meal. Obviously you re-
gard whiskey and corn meal as legiti-
mate and corn as illegitimate.
