the Panama canal even for you. For
am speaking with great frankness
and not with diplomatic indirection.
We built it for reasons of our own.
But L will say that it adds to the
pleasure of building that great work
that you will profit by it. You will
profit most by it for you have the
greatest carrying trade. I can say a
similar thing about the recent lower
ing of our tariff. We did not lower
1t in order to please you 1t was for
purposes that we considered eco
nomically sound for ourselves.
/ Express SeIf-Respect
Nevertheless it added to the pleas
ure of doing that to reflect that there
by we should have more trade with
you. Concerning the recent message
of the President I take it upon my
self, on my own responsibility. to saw
this. He delivered that message not
| to please you, but to express the true
sentiment and self-respect Of the
American nation. AS 1 interpret it
his was the voice Of the people.
Nevertheless. it adds to the pleasure
of hearing that voice to know that it
does please you"
The portion referring to the Mon
roe Doctrine follows:
MAY l put in another parenthesis
an impression that a part of your
press seems to have about the attitude
of the United States government con-
cerning the investment of your CO.
lossal earnings in States of Central
America that have volcanic tenden-
cies? I sometimes read that the
United States is entering upon u pol
| icy to discourage foreign investments
there. That is untrue. / think that
fc han i,,, @l,a
have discouraged them somewhat, but
I hope that they cannot be charged to
the United States.
Welcome Investments
There is policy forming in the
minds of our government and our peo-
pie which is not new that would dis
courage such investments or such con-
cessions as would carry with them
the control of the government of any
of those States and only such for so
far as the United States Is concerned
you know how heartily we have well
coined your investments in our land
and still welcome them and ALWAYS
will. You may be assured that It is
none Of the business of the United
States to put any let or hindrance
upon any legitimate investments of
yours anywhere in the world and they
most heartily welcome your invest
provided only you do not make them
so that you may possibly take the
country with them.
''The Monroe Doctrine meant this,
when it was first formulated, that the
United States would object to any
European governments taking more
land in the New World. In those
days the only way that a foreign gov
ernment could gain land was literally
| to go and take it. Now we have more
,, refined methods of exploitation and
| there are other ways to take It. That
| is the only protest that the United
States has ever whispered. You will,
am sure, understand why the United
States prefers that no land In the new
world should be acquired in these new
kindness clearly 20 understand that,
and possibly 10 correct The misimpres-
sion that has gone abroad?.

National Guard Armory
Converted Into Garden
MANY Cars Exhibited
First Great Exhibit of Its Kind Thrown Open Fargo and
Moorhead Public Today-Fne Music
Many Stores and Places of Business in Both Cities Closed
Early Today So That All Might Attend

The armOry of Fargo's new audi
torium has been converted into a Veri-
table bower Of beauty for the present
alton Of the first Gate City Auto show,
which was formally opened this morn
ing at $50 o'clock to the public Of the
cities of Fargo and Moorhead and
their suburbs.
It would have seemed almost an ut
ter impossibility to have effected such
complete transformation as has been
wrought in the identification of the
unfinished building SO that no trace OF
it's incomplete condition is apparent
after passing through the entrance
doors. The whole interior is a re-
minder of an attractive theatrical set
ting and has been the marvel of every
visitor.
Everything was in readiness for the
exhibition when the hour arrived for
the opening of the doors. This is
something unusual in any exposition
of this kind. for generally there Is
something left to be completed either
until the first or second day Of the
show. But under the efficient man
agement OF Mr.. Ball and Mr.. More, no
such negligence or tardiness marked
the opening of the auto show.
The doors were thrown open to the
public at $3.50 o'clock and great crowds
streamed through the aisles this morn
ing. This afternoon at o'clock. the
show was formally dedicated by Sec.
J. p. Hardy Of the Fargo Commercial
club, who delivered a brief speech
marking the occasion,

CURLEY. CHOSEN
MAYOR OF BOSTON

Boston, Jan. 14.-Cong. James M.
Curley was chosen mayor yesterday
of Boston by a majority Of 5000 votes
over Thomas j.. Kenny, president Of
the city. council. AT a total, of $4,000
votes polled, the; victorious candidate
received l49,309 and President Kenny
had 37,25O: ''5-' -si -. -.
The congressmans election to a
four year term as mayor! is the latest
step in a, continuous political; career
which began as city councilman in
1900. Since that time he has been
elected to the Massachusetts house of
representatives, board of aldermen
and to congress, where he is now serv-
ing his second term. In 1903 Mr..
Curley was convicted by a jury in the
federal court, of conspiring to defraud
the government by impersonating an
other man at civil service examina-
tion. He served a sentence Of two
months in the Charles street Jail
without interruption to his political
fortunes
Both Mr.. Kenny and Mr.. Curley
are democrats in national politics, al
though they ran without political
designation, and the democratic voters
in the city were divided in their sup
port. President Kenny in addition to
the backing of most of the democratic
ward chairmen, had the endorsement
of the Citizenship league, non
partical organization, where many
republicans are prominent. He was
also supported by local republican
leaders.

Frank Moran, the latter the Pitts
burgh heavyweight. signed articles for
"a twenty-round fight for the cham
pionship Of the world to be fought on
or before the Paris Grand Prix race
during the first or second week of
June, this year.
Johnson was handed a check for
$4,000 and Moran $4,000 by the pro-
moters of the match as a guarantee.
Three American millionaires now res
ident in Paris were instrumental in
bringing the two big men together.
The millionaires are said to hope to
wrest the championship from the ne
gro race
The fight is to take place in Paris.
The articles were signed in the PaVil-
lion Dauphine in the Boise De Bou-
logne. Johnson arrived In his racing
car. A long, discussion of terms en-
sued. Johnson agreed not to fight
anybody before meeting Moran in the
ring. IF Johnson fails to fight he fdr-
Efeits all Of the $4,000 except the sum
Of $4,000 for training expenses,
The signatures were finally fixed in
the presence Of many managers, pro-
moters, boxing men and other sports
men. Johnson and Moran then drank
each others health in gobIets of
champagne. Three moving picture
machines were working during the ne
gOtiations. The group Of American
promoters asserted they were conf
dent of the belief that the white man
will defeat Johnson.

COAL HEAVIER
EACH WEIGHING

San Francisco, Jan. 14-Coal bought
and sold by the& Western Fuel Co. be-
came heavier every time it was re-
handled, according to figures from the
company's books, read in court by the
government Eight directors and en-
lployes of the company are on trial
under e sa charges a,r! of defrauding the gov
tons rebates. An instance presented
by the government today was the dis
charge Of, 8,41S tons of imported coal
into the steamer Algoa, in 1908. The
.coal remained there eighteen months,
and when 1t was taken out, 1t weighed
according to the books, $50 tons more
than when it went in. From barges,
the same coal was loaded into Ameri-
can steamers with another jump In
weight and upon this final weight, the
company collected customs rebate
& Edwin p. Powers, former assistant
sup perintendent for the company, tss-
titled that although only one In every
fifteen buckets was weighed, he never
had received instructions from the
company to make this fifteenth bucket
heavier than the others
