upon by the West Virginia Commits
sion. The Virginia Commission dis
putes all these Just claims, and nov
stands like shylock, demanding the
pound of flesh.
West Virginia has always been
honest in It's efforts to settle this
long standing and wearisome ,conten.
ton. Never has she assumed the po-
sltion of reputation by formal act
or implication. On the contrary she
has always acknowledged her liabil.
lily for her Just sliarc ofsthe debt.
Years ago she sent a commission to
Richmond to come to some under
standing on the matter, which was
spurned and ignored By the Virginia
government: Now when she pleads,
as any business partner would do,
for Justly ascertained share of the
assets Of a formet partnership, she Is
again spurned wifi IN old autocrat:

hope now lies in the ability of the

seeks to inflict upon us.-whecling

merchant oftthe city would have to
rlace his counters. show cases, or
merchandise booths here every satur.
day. or every day of the week for
that matter, to sell his goods.
II an itinarate vendor comes into
town to sell his wares he is required
10 procure a license from the city to
transact this business, and IL the city
commissioners cannot get the coun-
ty commissioners to discontinue these
sales they might meet the issue by
requiring license from the vendor
which could be made prohibitiye II
they desire. AS it is now, the ven
dor of these goods pays no license.
The auetioneer only paying his an
rual license which he. would still b !,
required to do If the vendor. was a,,.o
taxed for the privilege. =
Another objection 10 these sales is
that-it is not treating the local flrni-
,rtei merchant fairly. UHe pays4h
taxes to the city and. county for the
privilege of doing business in the city
and lie also pays rent for the SAiaAi
stretti or other space he occupic.

goods sold at the court house the pos
sibility Of sale by one of our mer.
chants is eliminated.
The people have the general i'm.
preston that these goods belong to
people who are having them sold un-
der distress of an execution but such
is not the case. The goods are main
ly those of people who are moving
away from the town or breaking up
housekeeping for other reasons and
in such cases they have very little
interest In the welfare of the city
and why should they be granted spe-
cial privileges that the permanent
resident does not enjoy?
That these sales should be con-
Quoted in place provided for this
purpose is generally conceded, but
no goods of this character should be
permitted to be sold anywhere until
they are properly fumigated by u
county or city health officer. The
small expense of fumigation would
be returned in higher prices offered
for the goods. Many people would
purchase articles of this kind II they
thought they were not taking chanc-
es on carrying disease to their homes.
But the idea of price should not be
the main one urged in this instance.
The protection of the health of the
community should, be the first con
sideration.

TOO MANY MONROE DOCTRINES.

Because even in the United States
1t is subject to the strangest miscon-
ceptions, 1t is reproduced herewith as
IT appeared in the message of Presi.
dent Monroe to Congress Dec. .
1895
In the discussions to which
this interest has given rise. and
in the arrangements by which
they may terminate, the occasion
has been deemed proper for as
sorting. as principle in which
rights and interests of the Unit
ed States are involved, that the
American continents, by the free
and Independent condition
which they have assumed and
maintain. are henceforth not to
be considered as subjects for
future colonization by any Eu-.
ropean power.
We owe IT, therefore. to
candor and to the amicablc re-
latlons existing between the
United States and those powers
to declare that we should con-
slider any attempt ION their part

portion of this hemisphere as

manifestation of an unfricndly
disposition toward the United
States.
In a word, the Monroe Doctrine
forbids further conquests on this
hemisphere. 1t does not establish a
protcctorate. 1t does not relieve
Latin America Of responsibility to
foreign powers. 1t does not shield
any country that murders or despolls
foreigners or is otherwise in the
wrong. 1t does not prevent the use
of force by European nations against
dclinquents. It's a guarantee Of in.
dependence. 1t is an assurance
against oppression. 1t is believed &c
be a measure of peace and safety for
the United States.
Yet as it is now interpreted here
and elsewhere. the. Monroe Doctrine
becomes not only a menace to our
peace and safety but fails utterly, in
its benevolent purpose as regards the
southern republics in whose behalf
it was proclaimed. 1t is an unwar.
ranted challenge to Europe and It
is an afrront to many self-rcspecting
nations which resent the idea Of
tutelage. ~
Neither by the Monroe Doctrine
nor by international law is Great
Britain or any other power debarred
from holding Mexico, for example, tc
its obligations, even to the point Of
invasion and punishment. The Mon
roe Doctrine would operate in such a
case only If the aggression did moi
cease with the accomplishment Of It's
Legitimate purpose. We do not guar.
antee lawlessness. We do guarantee
independence.
The willingness of Europe to leave
the pacifcation OF Mexico Ia our
hands for the present Is nc, due te
the Monroe Doctrine, bat TO courtesy
and to recognition OF the fact thai
our interests there are paramount ssh

1t. contemplated conquest. ThatqiE
the presence Of such threat from:
any quarter the power of the great
Republic would be assorted most I'M
prcssively cannot be doubted.
In the application of principle SC
vital as this, it is of the gravest i'm.
portance that its limitations should
be fully understood by everybody
especially by, ourselves. Just now
we have too many Monroe Doctrines.
New ones are put forth in this coun-
try with great frequency. others
are manufactured to order by Eu.
ropcan jingoes for reasons that arc
manifest. But there is only one true
Monroe Doctrine, and there never
can be another, unless in some hour
of madness ew lightly elect to meet
the world in arms.
The fact that the true Monro,
Doctrine has the force of information:
al law is not wholly due TO the pow.

is asserted. Its,wisdom and necessit,
have been conceded by those ppor
whose ambitions it has forever plac

BUILDING 8 LOAN ASSN
WOULD Be GOOD
THING FOR LAKELAND
Continued from Yesterday
(Contributed.)

We hear much nowadays of a
psychological moment" to do things
If nothing more, this means that ii
is much easier and surer to start and
do certain things at one time rather
than at another. "Get into the
swim" with the strong current al
ready in motion In State, city, com
munity, when good things, right
things, are being done, is the best
time to start others. Though some
things seem adverse, as with every
thing worth having, it is unquestion-
ably the time to put into operation
the savings and loan idea which all
agree is needed, during the same Pc
riod as the good things just named,

etc. Were Shakespeare here he
would undoubtedly add as a clinch-
er: There is a tide in the affairs of
men, which taken at the food, leads
on to fortune.
We believe that as soon as they
come to understand what this stands
for and will accomplish, our good
women will take this matter up with
earnestness, as seems to have been
the rule elsewhere, and put it into
operation with such enthusiasm and
effect that their propulsion will soon
cause it to become a power to be
reckoned with in this community. in
business and finance.
We have no doubt there are many
people in Lakeland who have never
been reached with any special in
formation on this subject, who would
gladly take 500 to $500 of this paid
up stock yielding per cent divi-
bends, payable semi-annualy and
running stock, by paying only $1.25
per 500 share per month, which,
with & per cent dividends added
seml-annually, would mature into
500 in ga years, knowing it
would at the same time help boost

by any one, Mr.. Willard will gladly
give all particulars concerning the
workings of the company, which is
TO be governed by board of direc-
tors who shall all be stockholders
and among the most energetic and
J worthy citizens of Lakeland,
who will carefully safeguard all in
terests. Inquiry at phone 1872, II
! Kentucky building, will supply in
formation there, or through visit
at your home or place of business,
or by letter.
1t is important, and safest for us,
that the balance of paid up stock be
taken at once, before Mr.. Willard
goes north the middle of June, thac
he may know whether we want a
concern of this kind, and what to
count on, and if it is to be organ
lied, that all be put in readiness for
publication of charter while he is
gone, so that it may be promptly put
into operation on his return.
The difficulty our people seem to
have in understanding the difference
between a local company, organized
and operating for its own town and
membership and producing the most
surprising results for good only, and
the foreign, so-called, building as
sociations that have operated here,
only for their own profit, and appar-
emily to exploit and plumber our
people, is our only excuse for con-
tinuing our efforts 10 awaken our
people to the great Importance of
this matter, and for further illus
trating its many good features.
1t should help us all to know the
attitude of prosperous and up-to-
date associations in other States, to-
ward our work here, and what some
of their secretaries and their litera-
ture do and say of the Importance of
the work and the true way to do it.

Willard as follows Yours of the |
