Faults of Monroe Doctrine.

Some time ago l proposed a sort of ceived that one of the difficulties of our past relationships with Latin America was this: The famous Mon roe Doctrine was adopted without your consent and without the consent of any of the Central American or South going to be your big brother whether you want us to be or not
 We did not ask whether it was agreeable to you that we should be your big brother. We said we are gO- ing to be. Now that is all very we'll as far as protecting you from aggres- sion from the other side of the water was concerned, but there was nothing in it that protected you from aggres- sion from us, and 1 have repeatedly seen an uneasy feeling on the part of representatives of the states of Cen tral and South America that our self appointed protection might be for our benefit and our own interests and not for the interests of our neighbors. So I have said: Let us have a comm Ol e,arantee that all of us will sign a declaration of political Independence and territorial integrity.

German Intrigue in Mexico.

At the present time it distresses me to learn that certain influences, which I assume to be German in their origin, are trying to make a wrong impression throughout Mexico as to the purpose of the United States, but to give an absolutely untrue account of things that happened. =.
 We are the champions of those na- tions which have not had the military standing which would enable them to compete with the strongest nations in the world, and I look forward with pride to the time which I hope will come when we can give substantial evidence not only that we do not want anything out of this war, but that we would not accept anything out of it.; that it is absolutely a case of disinter- ested action. And if you will watch the attitude of our people you will see that nothing stirs them so deeply as the assurances that this war; so far as we are concerned, Is for idealistic ob- iectS

Believes Smaller Nations Should
 Have Voice in Own Future A MESSAGE TO MEXICO
Presidents Speech to Editors From South of Rio Grandc Made Public League With Equality For All.

Havana, June Ii (By The Asso- ciated Press ss)-President Wilson in his address to the Mexican newspaper editors in Washington last Friday expressed sincere friendship for Mex ico. His address, which is printed in the morning papers here today fol- lows in part:
 "I have never received a group of men who were more welcome than you because it has been one of my distresses during my presidency that the Mexican people did not more thoroughly understand the attitude of the United States toward Mexico. think I can assure you |. -. that att titude is one of sincere friendship.
 "The policy of my administration toward Mexico was in every point based upon the principle that the internal settlement of the affairs of Mexico was none of our business; that we had no right to interfere with or dictate to Mexico in any par ticular with regard to her own af- fairs. When we sent troops into Mexico our sincere desire was notl1- ing else than to assist you to get rid of a man who was making the settle ment of your affairs for the time being impossible. We had no desire to use our troops for any other pur- pose and l was in hopes that by as sisting in that way and thereupon immediately withdrawing l might give substantial truth of assurance that I had given your government through President Carranza.

Columbia's First Duty.

More important to Columbia now
than anything else-more import
ant even than winning the war-ls
the apprehension and punishment OF
the demon in human form who u
dered James Mclaughlin Saturday
night. 1t has been a long time since
a murder more foul was committed
in South Carolina. The depravity OF
the man who planned and committed
so unspeakably horrible a crime is
second only to that of the Huns.
The ferocious beasts of the jungle
are not any greater enemies of hui
manity than the brute in human form
who slew this a while asleep IN
the heart of the capital Of the State.
Columbia's first duty is to bend
every effort and concentrate every
agency upon the experimenting and
Furnishing of this vilest of criminals
to the fullest extent of the law. And
confidently believe that the peo-
pie of Columbia will leave no stone
unturned.

Dealers Must Have Permit to Pur-
chase Flour.

An order was issued yesterday by
William Elliot, food administrator
for South Carolina, that no whole
sale or retail dealer in South Caro-
lima may purchase flour, until fur
Their notice, except with the permits
SIGN of the food administration.
This ruling of the State food adj
ministration applies to all who deal
in flour, including commissaries.
This action has been taken by the
food administration simply as an en-
ergency measure. Until the new
wheat crop comes in there will be
close figuring to keep an adequate
flour supply. Steps are therefore
taken to assure to the people OF
South. Carolina that one section OF
the State will not be plentifully sup
piled with flour while another Sec
ton goes begging because OF lack
of flour. The appeal to the people OF
the State is to be fair and liberal to
their neighbors. The new crop Will
be available by August.
The order issued yesterday reads
as follows:
"To Wholesale and Retail Flour
Dealers in South Carolina:
"You are hereby notified to ap-
plv by May 20 for blanks on which
to make report Of flour on hand.
Those who fail to write for blanks
or to make report of flour through
neglect or otherwise may later find
themselves in an embarrassing stu
alton in obtaining supplies.
BY order of
(Signed) William Eiilot.
Food Administrator for South Car
DINA"
When this inventory is completed,
tha food administration will know
what sections of the State have eX-
cess of flour and which sections are
short Of a 80 days supply. Overstock-
ed dealers in this State will then be
aided in moving their flour, and deal
ers who are short will be quickly
supplied. =,
No notices of the new order Will
be sent out to dealers direct by the
food administration, and the publ
cation of the new order, in the press
and at postoffices, will be deemed
sufficient for all dealers.
Blanks should be applied for at
once, to William Elliot, food admin
istrator for South Carolina, at Co.
lumbia.-The State.

cidents or arguments that would be
most helpful to that larger number
whom the reformer must constantly
have in mind, for as the material of
the sculptor is marble on which he

A mothers hand smoothing the

worthily engaged than a woman's
