launched his campaign for the mayor
atty. under the pre- empted name,
Charter party His ticket is a rather
nondescript affair and the selection Of
bis candidates indicates his purpose to
bid for the support of every element.
Up to the present he has failed to name
his hackers or indicate the source Of
his financial support.
No Independent Republican candidate
figures on his list. Those who were in
vited to go along with him declined his
Quixotic proposal. This indicates from
the start that the successful Moore can
didates consider themselves, as they are,
regular Republican nominees and that
any alliance with the mclaughlin out
fit would be regarded as a breaking of
party lines.
If Mr.. MacLaughlin fancies he can
gain the support of the Ware organiza =
tion because James NJ. Hazlett. present
recorder of deeds and nominated to sue
ceed himself, and William r. Knight,
present coroner, have accepted places
on this ticket, think he is destined to
disappointment.
1t is hardly conceivable that Senator
ware, StiCkler for party regularity
will link arms with the person who de
nounced him more bitterly and per-
sonally than any other candidate or
leader in the recent fight. Besides other
leaders like Senator Martin, David II.
Lane, Hall, Harry Mackey, Congress
man Costello and Senator Patton would
not follow Senator Ware into the Mac
Laughlin camp were he disposed to 20
there.
Believes Error Was Made
am of the opinion that the success
ful Ware candidates have made a grave
mistake in giving support to the Mac
Laughlin movement, which is now dis
tinctly aimed at the Republican ticket.
Political as well as feathered chickens
come home to roost sometimes.
Democratic voters who registered AS
Republicans that they might vote at the
Republican primaries will, I am told.
very generally vote the straight Demo
cratic ticket now that their joy ride in
side the Republican lines is over. The
selection of F. A. Smith, Jr., the Dem
ocratic candidate for sheriff, for a sim
liar place on the Charter party ticke,
will not attract Republican votes as the
Republican factional tickets did Demo
cratic votes at the primaries.
A number of defeated Ware candidates
will make an attempt to get a toe hold
chance for election on the MacLaughlin
ticket. This is to be expected. Among
the number l understand will be Harry
Davis, the former ball player, who
switched overnight from the Independent
camp to the Ware sheepfold, was de
feated and will now climb aboard the
Charter circus band wagon.

BUTCHER LOSES BOTH WAYS
Now He'd Like to Know Who Phoned
an Order for Some Meat

Whether $50 or an order of meat
was the greater loss, Charles Mott,
fifteen year old errand boy who lives
at 1884 Wyalusing avenue, is not say
ing. Anyway Mortin Thompson, butcher
at 1926 Haverford avenue, Is the loser.
Someone telephoned the butcher shop
asking that an order of meat be sent
to house near Thirty fourth aud
Spring Garden streets. and also that
change be sent for a 500 bill Charles
Mott was sent with the meat and the
change. As he nearcd the place man
Intercepted him and asked II he had
the order. The stranger explained that
someone in the house had a contagious
disease and the boy had better not go
near, SO Mott gave the meat and money
TO the stranger. The latter promptly
turned down an alley, jumped fence
and fed.

season to return to the old-time

regarded as outweighing the small.

AMERICAN SOVEREIGNTY
AND MONROE DOCTRINE {

The Monroe Doctrine, as originally
announced. served as a shield. which
the United States held over itself ans
over weaker states on the American
continents as protection against
European interference and European
encroaehment. It was and Is a
national policy which protects North
and South America and makes for
peace on these continents.
There is real danger now, however,
that the Monroe Doctrine VIII e
carried so far and with so high a
hand that the real value OF the policy
will be lost
Senator Knox made the following
amazing statement in his recent
speech in the Senate:--"lts (The
Monroe Doctrinel precise character.
the extent, method and time OF its
application, the means OF compelling
its observance, all are matters OF our
high and uncontrolled viii aud SOW
ereign prerogative. We. the United
States, cannot answer to any one
else in respect to IT, We use Il when,
as, and 10 tie extent we need ii
There can be no limitation upon It.
except our requirements, our will. and
cur force OF arms. Whatever security
we may need within its puryiew. u
must give. II we ask IT."
That sounds HE Trietsehke. It IS
an announcement Of unlimited will,
backed BY arms, to be exercised as
the United States alone determines
her own requirements to be. Such
an fmmoderate statement OF the Mon
roe Doctrine weakens and does not
strengthen IL. II is an extreme
statement OF the doctrine. calculated
to cause trouble and Fiction on the
American continents. The Doctrine
80 stated is not unlike the doctrine
which Germany sought to apply to
Europe.
Senator Knox would refuse to sub
nit to Cancellation any dispute grow
ing out OF the application OF the
Monroe Doctrine. whether such dis
pute were between the Unitd States
md an American state or between
he United States and a non-Ameri-
,an state. On the American contl-
lent the arbitrary will OF the United
States backed by force Is to prevail.
The other nations agree, in the Gov
,nant OF the League Of Nations. to
ubrnit to conciliation all non njustici-
BILE disputes; that is. those which
row out Of questions Of policy. Is
he United States to demand that she
lone be relieved from such obliSa-
ion and on the ground that, when
er interests are involved. her abso-
lte will shall prevail? How does this
ifer from the German position in
Europe?
The fact Is that the Monroe Doc
rine now that IT has been recognized
/ the Covenant Of the League Of Ma
,rs is adequately protected.
It is such pronouncements as that
Senator Knox and not the wise
revision in the Covenant Of the
eague Of Nations which threaten the
sefulness Of the Monroe Doctrine

From the current issue of the Or
leans County Farm Bureau News.
At a meeting held at Newport Cen
ter recently there was considerable
discussion about the cooperative
shipping of livestock IL was finally
voted to ask the directors Of the
Farmers Exchange to take on the
marketing of livestock in addition TO
the other business which is done The
committee elected 70 confer with tho
directors was as follows: John "
Lunna, chairman, Ned Connal and
Perley Niles.
IL was also voted TO authorize this
committee to take whatever action was
necessary in addition TO enable the
farmers of Newport Ctr. TO ship CO
operatively. Ii is probable that a sur
vey will be made of the locality to de
termine how much stock viii be avail
able for shipment; also how many men
are willing to go into the proposition.
There was also some discussion rs to
the methods of interesting farmers at
Troy, Westfield and North Troy.
There is big territory TO draw from
through this region and all that is
needed is the strong cooperation of
the farmers TO make this proposition
success.
