United States deemed 1t a duty to
assist in the emancipation of states
which We're in danger of being DOM

Mr.. Shuster termed this "a re-
markable example of the state of
mental guardianship which those
who subscribe to the bundle of dec
larations known as the Monroe Doc
trine are apt to feel toward all other
nations He said under no previous
construction OF that doctrine had the
United States ever attempted to say
what concessions should or should
not be granted by any Latin-Ameri-
can nation. 1t was policy analogous
to telling man who Is starving to
death that he should not pawn or sell
his watch.

Shuster avoided extended reference.

that the particular bridge or particu-
lar construction with reference to the
bridge is unaffected by the question
of a specified levy, but that all
charges with reference to the build
ing of roads and bridges may be
charged against the general road
fund. That is the effect of that de-
cision as l understand IL, and If that
be true, the fund which was raised
for building what is known as the
Main street bridge under the levy
of ten mills made in the year 1911
would realize something in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 or 100000. The
contract itself provides for only the
sum of S32, 200, but the commission
ers were not required to make that
limitation and it was only by contract
that it was limited to that sac 900,
otherwise the entire levy of ten mills
would apply.
Recovery is Doubtful.
Passing to the third and fourth
defenses, one of estoppel and the 9TH
er laches the application of that
principle is never a concrete proposi-
ton of law, except it be where the
statute of limitations apply then of
course it may raise the question of
laches and estoppel, but that question
can only be determined by full ex-
animation of the facts which may be
established in the case. The courts
have held that various things consti-
tute delay. For example. the case or
Woodmass of Aston Mining Compa-
ny cited, | believe in the 10th and
14th Colorado, they held that ten
months would constitute Iaches. The
case of Marbury vs.. Twin Lakes Oil
Company 92nd United States they
held that a year and half was
laches. In the case of Johnson VS.
the Standard Mining Company 14Sth
U. S. they held that failure to prose-
cute the suit might be instituted by
court of equity as laches Estoppel
as a general proposition does not ap-
ply to cases of this. sort. The rule OF
law laid down in this state is chat
there must be such acts as admit the
fraud. The third and fourth de-
fenses are based on the same princi-
pie, and | think it is proper that they
should be considered. II the facts
are that the plaintiff and others
similarly. situated were aware of
these facts from the first of January,
1912, saw the work going on and

can now be enforced except on the
ground of fraud AS the fraud with
reference to the overpayment or,
wrongful payment as suggested in
the fifth and eighth paragraph of
this complaint have been stricken,
1t relegates those to a separate action
to recover from the contractor or the
public officials who perpretrated the
fraud, if there was any.

spoke last night before the American

said;
THE foreign policy of the United

as there has been any at all, has con-
sisted of sporadic asseyerations of the
Monroe Doctrine"
In building up constructive for

ship in foreign policy: for the COM
plete submergence of the theory of
state rights and sovereignty in so far
as they might come into conflict with
treaty making powers of the federal
government; for the creation and
maintenance of a highly-trained non
political, non-partisan diplomatic
and consular service, which would
aoquit itself with credit when pitted
against the trained minds of states
meen of the important nations of the
world; for strict observance of the
treaty obligations with large coun-
tries or small; and for every encour-
agement for the formation and en-
ployment of arbitral tribunals.
Mr.. Shuster pointed to the words
Of President Wilson in his Mobile
