BRITISH VIEW OF MONROE
DOCTRINE

An interesting commentary on the
Monroe Doctrine is contained in an
analysis of the league of nations
constitution given out by the British
delegation at Paris. for the informa-
tion of the British public:
'"The origin of the Monroe Doc
trine is we'll known. 1t was pro-
claimed in 1898 to prevent America
from becoming a theater for intri-
CUES of European absolutism. At
first a principle Of American foreign
policy, II has become an information
al understanding and it is not ille-
gitimate for the people Of the United
State to say that the covenant should
recognize that fact.
'Tn its essence II Is consistent
with the spirit Of the covenant and
indeed the principles Of the league
as expressed in Article x represent
the extension to the whole world OF
the principles Of this doctrine; wnile'
should any dispute as to the mean
ing Of the latter ever arise between
American and European powers, the
league is there to settle II"
It is something new to have SO
friendly a view expressed in any for
egin country. Ever since President
Monroe first announced the famous
Doctrine, it has seldom been men,
toned on the other side of the At
lantic except in condemnation or af-
fected scorn. Great Britain, to be
sure. was an exception. For many
years the British government has
given practical recognition to the
Doctrine, and indeed at one time Il
came near giving formal recognition
to the treaty. But almost ever.
other power has opposed 1t, and evel
In England the utterances OF states

eign powers.

CLASS OF 1873 GIVE
ANNUAL SENIOR PLAY

Laura Thomas Gunnell has again
demonstrated her ability by the Sc
lection OF parts for the presentation
OF the senior class play "Circumstan-
tial Evidence" which was given last
night at the opera house and which
will be repeated again tonight. There
was packed house last night and
nearly every seat is sold for the final
performance.
The high school orchestra gave
several enjoyable selections preced-
ing the curtain and between acts.
"Circumstantial Evidence" is the
vehicle for the accommodation OF
any number OF players but there
we're a certain few who stood out
boldly as real actors, although
through the selection OF characters
most OF the players acted a perfect
ly natural part.
The play is the presentation OF
events as they might occur in a
, household preparing for swell
wedding, but where disturber. a
robber and his accomplice. steal the
wedding gifts and all other valu-
ables but divert suspicion to other
members of the wedding party.

AN IDEAL OF A
RURAL SUNDAY school,

In every rural community there are
boys and girls who would be glad to
join in and take part in our Sunday
School (who by the neglect Of their
parents stay away. There are many
things that may be done to broaden
the lives of our young boys and girls.
Impressions made on their young
minds are lasting as life itself. 1t is
from this class of little folks that the
future church draws her workers and
heaven gathers its jewels.
The little folks are the all import
ant in the Sunday School, and yet the
ones sometimes most neglected. For
il is at this stage of our life that we
form our conception of religion, chris
tianity and form one standard OF liv-
ing, be il useful or not, useful for the
future in the true sense that lives
should be spent.
Whatever organization that is un-
dertaken we should strive to estab-
lish closer relations between the
home and church. The prime need of
such is leader. Whoever a Sunday
School teacher maybe they must be
willing to work for the best success.
A teacher must and will desire cer-
tain amount of knowledge to accom-
plish much in their class. AS foun-
dation there must be knowledge of
the Bible, not for its own sake, but
as an inspiration of life and action.
This is such a great field for a teacher
the place to impart the nobleness of
her life, to the budding christians to
learn them the sweet stories in the
Bible, and choice gems OF Holy Writ,
that has gladdened and saved the
souls of man through the ages.
The leadership of wise teacher.
and the interest of the class, make
the class power in widening the
lives of its members.
May we see the day when there will
be a good Sunday School at every
church.

THE PULLEN SHOW WITH US.

The Pullen Comedians who are
with us for the week, showing each
night on the Boswell lot opposite the
DAVIS Hotel, on Jakson street, are
putting on excellent bills-for having
won the good will of our people last
year, they could not afford to give
this place anything but the best in
their repertoire. In addition, as Lex
ington likes the Pullens the Pullens
seem to like Lexington-and so all
have a good time while they are with
us.
The Pullen brothers seem to be
every way, fine fellows, as we find
to be the ether members Of their
company with whom we have come in
contact. So far as we can know by
experience and general report, the
homes of Lexington who have enter
tanned men and women of the Pull
len Company have found them to be
gentlemen and ladies.
All who love good entertainment,
in town and country, should avail
themselves of the presence Of the Pull
len Comedians the remainder Of the
week, closing Saturday night.

w. T. Segerson has his land broken

will then be in ideal condition to sow
about the 25th Of August.

Are we feeling shortage of lum-
Der? Mr.. Maddux says that from 1900

We note in the Nashville Tennessee
an that some Of the geat female Lead
ers who spend their time in gadding
over the country and annoying almost
beyond endurance members Of the
legislatures and Congress, are now
Directing to being called "suffra-
gists" and want substituted therefor
the title of women voters" Why
use the word woman" at all-why
not designate them as "City and
Presidential voters" or "untaxed"
voters 2" Now that the unqualified
as we'll as the qualified women can
vote in two kinds of elections, without
the payment Of poll tax, to help bear
the burden of supporting schools, why
not have the legislature enact law
and have the Supreme Cuort affirm
it, exempting women from paying adj
mission into any public entertain
ment? Since so many Of women are
drifting away from the formerly sa-
cred institution, the American home,
every obstacle should be taken out of
their way--but, thank God, we still
have left to US some who do not re.
gard the home life as slavery" The
aforesaid leaders who are now OBJ
jeting to being longer called "suf-
fragists," say that the ballot was
imposed on them, after they had
made national nuisances of them
selves chasing the Elusive ballot in
defiance of the advice Of the best wo-
men in the world, the most chival-
rous men of the South and the plan
for living mapped out by God Al
mighty Himself.

[ |NAL GALL II TAKE
 LAST S10O,0OO IF
 COTTONM|LL STOCK

Two weeks only remain for placing the S200,000 allotment of Pacific Cot ton Mills stock in the Salt River val ley.
 Of the s2,000.000 stock of the com pany, which is a subsidiary of the Goodyear company, the large amount allotted to Los Angeles has been greatly oversubscribed. As the Pacific Cotton Mills is to be erected solely for the purpose of using the long staple cotton, the product of this valley, it is desired that some of this stock be placed here.
 About s10o,000 has been sub- scribed here, 1t is stated. For some reason, the farmers appear to have lost interest in the matter. The Southwest Cotton company states that this re- maining s100,000 of stock will be held open two weeks longer for the farmers of this valley
 The building of the Pacific Cotton Mills means much for the cotton in dustry of this valley, as it assures a nearby market and does away with the long haul to Massachusetts or Con. necticut. The Goodyear company has expended millions here. The entire product of the Pacific Cotton mills has been sold in advance to the Good
