SENATOR LEWIS WOULD
MODIFY MONROE DOCTRINE

Chicago, ILL.,, Feb. IA sugges-
ton that the Monroe Doctrine be
modified and renamed the American
Doctrine" was made in an address
before the Chicago Law Association
tonight by United States Senator
James Hamilton Lewis.
"Let the United States put senti-
ment behind it and justice ahead of
it," said the speaker. "Let us declare
the Monroe Doctrine to mean that we
shall intrude only when South Amer
lean countries ask our interference
with any European people; that only
when country of kingly rule at
tempts to place it's royal government
in power in South or Central Amer
lea will the Monroe Doctrine be as
serted.
"Let this doctrine be known as the
American Doctrine Let us add to
this the new policy of Central Amer
lea of making alliances with Central
American countries of a reciprocal
nature that will allow the United
States to participate in the enjoyment
of naval bases and coaling stations
in each of these countries where the
same is open to water attack"

Think They've
Struck 1t Rich

A few of our local men, who are
modest about having their names
given for the present, have bought
about sixty acres of land in the
Miami mineral field of Oklahoma
They have drilled one hole 307 feet
deep and say it passed through sc
feet of mineral-zinc and lead We
understand they are going to drill
several more holes before sinking a
shaft, and then perhaps we may be
able to give something more definite
about their enterprise. We wish them
success in their undertaking.
