RALLY TO THE
MONROE DOCTRINE

Heretofore we have maintained the
Monroe Doctrine without the consent
of any other nation on earth. In fact,
it was originally established in defiance
of any other nation. That was its pur-
pose. In some instances, as during the
Cleveland and Roosevelt administra-
tions, we have maintained it in spite of
the efforts of other nations to ignore it.
Now President Wilson proposes in his
league of nations covenant to concede
that the Monroe Doctrine shall be
abandoned whenever the other men,
bers of the league decide that it is not
a preserver of peace but provoker OF
war. 1t was never intended to be a
preserver of peace. 1t was expressly
designed as a preserver of liberty and
the American people have never
chosen peace at the sacrifice of liberty.
Whenever any other nation tries to ex.
tend its jurisdiction to the Western
Hemisphere, the Monroe Doctrine be.
comes basis for war. We shall not
concede MIR. Wilson's contention that
the doctrine should be abandoned
when its maintenance is most desired
Charlevoix county herald., 1919-05-23
MUDDLED AGAIN

A fairly good illustration of the lack
of business sense in the War Depart
ment is presented in the record of the
action Of the Department in the matter
of soldiers keeping certain equipment
after their discharge. On December
4, 1918, the Department issued an order
directing that within four months after
discharge an enlisted man must return
all the outer clothing which he was per-
mitted to wear home. Already he had
surrendered his other equipment. This
brought widespread protest, for it
was apparent to everyone that the men
would desire to keep much of the cloth
ing and equipment as souvenirs and for
use on public occasions, such as reun-
ions, parades, etc. On April 5, 1919,
the War Department issued an order
permitting the men to retain perman-
emily as their personal property full
outfit of clothing, under as well as out
er, together with toilet set, barracks
bag, gas mask and helmet. Concluding
its notice, the Department said that
men who have already turned in the
clothing and equipment "are authoriz'
ed to redraw them by applying to the
Director of Storage in Washington. u
One of the purposes OF permitting the
men to keep their equipment was thus
partly defeated, for men who had turn
ed in their clothing would not in most
instances get the same clothing back,
or, if they did get the identical clothing
there must have been an enormous
waste of labor in the Department keep
ing it separate and hunting the particu'
lar articles out of an immense quantity
on storage.

BEEKEEPERS CHANGE
TO LAWFUL HIVES
State Law to be Enforced After
July 1St

East Lansing, Mich, May 2O.-As a
result of an announcement from the
State Inspector of Apiaries, B. F. Kin
dig of M. A. c., that the state law re-
quiring all beekeepers to house their
bees in properly constructed hives will
be enforced to the letter after July /,
bee men are busy with preparations to
make the necessary changes. Box
hives, log gums, kegs, barrels, boxes,
and crossed comb frame hives are
among those which are condemned as
illegal.
Inspector Kindig gives June as the
best month in which to make the trans
fer to new hives. The bees must have
warm weather and must have gathered
sufficient nectar for their own use be.
fore they are moved. This will be in
May in the extreme southern parts oi
the state but in June elsewhere. The
date for the enforcement of the law has
been put off until July in order to give
all beekeepers chance to make the
necessary changes after the weather
conditions were favorable.
Failure to comply with the law /:
deemed misdemeanor in the act anc
is punishable by fine Of twenty-five
dollars for each offense. A legal hive
must have combs built in such way
that they can be removed without in
jury to any of the combs in the hive.
An M. A. C. bulletin on transferring
bees and information regarding the Law
may be had by writing to B. F. Kindig
