MEXICO und Monroe Doctrine
From the New York Times.

Mexico announces that "she has not recog-
nized and will not recognize the Monroe doc
trine." Nobody has asked her to recognize the
Monroe doctrine. The enforcement of the prin-
ciples enuncated by President Monroe does not
depend upon Mexico, upon nobody's recognition
or nonrecognition. The countries concerned in
the Monroe doctrine are the United Staets on
the one hand, and countries not OF this hemis-
phere on the other. The doctrine does not
establish a protectorate over Mexico or any
other country.
AS set forth in President Monroes message
of December 2 1928 the doctrine rests on the
assertion that it is "a principle in which rights
and interests of the United States are con-
cerned." No mention is made of any rights or
interests of Mexico. The doctrine declares that
the two American continents ARE henceforth
not to be considered as subjects for COLOMBIA.
ton by any European power" No mention of
Asiatic powers was made, for the reason that
no Asiatic power was then in any condition to
colonize the American continents. The doctrine
further declares that, since it was desirable to
retain arnicable relations between the United
States and those powers, it was only fair to tell
them plainly "that we should consider any at
tempt on their part to extend their system to
any portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to
our peace and safety"
To our peace and safety, mind, not to Mex
icos. The purpose was not primarily altruistic
or humanitarian; we were loking out for our
peace and security. Mr. Monroe went on to
say that, while we should not interfere with any
existing European colonies any interference by
any European power with other American
countries would be viewed "as the manifesto
ton Of an unfriendly disposition toward the
United States"
Mexico, according to it's official statement
just issued, regards this doctrine as one that
attacks the sovereignty and independence of
Mexico" 1t is simply declaration that no
power on another continent shall colonize or
annex Mexico or any other American country.
That, we think, does not attack the sovereignty
and independence of Mexico"
Nearly 80 years ago France invaded Mexico,
and the Mexicans were forced to declare that
they wanted an Austrian archduke for emperor.
Supported by French bayonets Macmillan
took the throne in Mexico City. We were busy
at the time with civil war of our own, and
we contented ourselves with warning the
French emperor that the Monroe doctrine ap-
piled to this case. The moment our war was
over President Johnson sent General Sheridan
with some 10000 veterans to the Mexican bor-
der. The result was, in the language of Mr..
Depew, that Napoleon III got out of Mexico
so fast that you could have played chess on
his coat-tails." In this proceeding we did not
consult Mexico; we did not ask it whether it
recognized or did not recognize the Monroe
doctrine.

Douglas County Road Improvement.

The county commissioners are preparing to
submit to the voters proposal to issue $3000,
600 of bonds the object being to pave $50 miles
of country roads. Public opinion generally
favors the bond issue. and it will very likely re-
ceive approval from the voters if set before
them in the right light.
Report has it that the county board is about
to give its approval to preliminary project, the
practical nature of which is open to very serious
objections 1t is proposed that the first work
done will be to pave a county road leading to
the Platte river at point where no bridge
exists, thus establishing blind alley" Advo-
Gates of this plan have insisted the road in
question will form direct route to Wahoo,
and so enable the Saunders county farmers of
that part to reach Omaha with ease. Lacking
the bridge, this is true.
Saunders county quite recently has acquired
the bridge at Ashland by purchase from its
owners, and set it up as free bridge 1t also
has assisted in establishing the free bridge
across the Platte at Valley This is about as far
as the taxpayers of Saunders county feel like
going at present. So the prospects of another
free bridge at the point in question are remote.
Alternative plans have been discussed, look
ing to the improvement of roads that will we'll
serve the people Of Douglas county, as well as
affording access to the Omaha market for resi-
dents of adjoining counties. These deserve con-
sideration first.
The county board will make serious mis-
take and greatly increase the difficulty of car
rying the bond issue at the polls if it gives its
sanction to plan that leads nowhere. A
definite program should be put alongside the
bond proposal, and this program should not be
weakened by inclusion of ndefensible details.

Soldier Protests Eberstein's Order.


Brest. France, April 10. 1919-To
the Editor of The Bee, Dear Sir:
During my service with the Amer
lean expeditionary forces here in
France have received many copies
of your splendid paper, and not until
now has there ever been a doubt
in my mind that the broad human
principles of the brotherhood Of
man. indelibly impressed upon its
pages, by that super-man, the late
Edward RoseWater, been in any de-
gree deviated from by the present
brilliant editor. Undergoing, as a
result of this doubt, great mental
unrest. I am appealing to you for
enlightenment; for it is difficult for
me to believe that the one daily in
pacifistic or openly in league with q
unwaveringly, daily preached and
breathed into it's editorials the very
meat of Stephen Decatur's words:
my country in her intercourse with
other nations, may she ever be in
the right. But right or wrong, my
country"
Editions of your paper reaching
me today make note of the fact that
Chief of Police Eberstein warns the
colored people of Omaha that if
they do not help to ferret out their
criminals, who are molesting white
women. there will be a repetition of
the st. Louis riots. Turning, at once
to your editorials, searched in vain
for a rebuke to this most unusual
threat.
Mr.. Editor, I am still serving my
country, uncomplainingly. though
anxious to be relieved, and l have
still in Omaha wife and son, and
sister. 1t is impossible for me to
give them, now. the protection which
my presence has materially given to

past their ears. Whish-sh- 1t
rushed into" their eyes and blinded
them. Gurgle-urgle- urgle! II poured
down their threats.
Nov they didn't dare let go. for
they would be left struggling in the
swift current. Where they were go
ing they couldn't see, but they were
certainly on their way somewhere.
Swish, splash, they whisked across
the stream, around the bend. then
across another broad, deep stretch
OF the river, so swiftly they didn't
have time to sink. Indeed, they
scarcely had time to be scared, but
the thought flashed into Peggy's
mind that perhaps when the fish got
them into the deepest water 1t
would turn around and swallow
them.
Instead of this happening, how
ever, they sped across the current
and up on the shore again, wallow-
ing through mud and weeds. What
kind of fish was this that jumped
out of the water and ran over the
land?
In among the bushes they
switched helter-skelter. their eyes so
filled with water and mud they
couldn't look ahead. Around stumps
and through the shrubbery they sped
to the very hole where they had
been fishing. and then. splash, they
plunged into the river second time.
But now the pull on the line ceas-
ed abruptly. They began to sink
in the deep pool, but Pat seized
Peggy by the arm and swan with
her to the shore. Billy followed,
swimming with one hand while he
chung to his precious pole with the
other.
The first thought Of all three when
they gained the land was to capture
the big fish that had given them such
a startling ride. Billy reeled In the
line rapidly, feeling only light tug
ging at the other end. They could
see something swirling on the hook,
but it was not until Billy jerked II
clear out of the water and out upon
the land that they discovered what
1t was. Then all three gave a cry
Of establishment.
At the end Of the line, firmly
hooked, was a tiny mud turtle.
Gee whillickers, that turtle sure
Is stronger than it looks" gasped
Billy.
ut must be charmed turtle, that
can become big or little at WILL
whispered Pat.
Nonsense" said Peggy, very posi-
lively. THAT turtle couldn't drag a
little doll, much less three big chill
dren. Some one has been up to
shenanigans"
"And some one has taken all our
fish," added Billy, holding up their
empty baskets.
THE place surely is bewitched,"
declared Pat.
Tomorrow will be told the strange way
in which the fish come back.)

NO REVOLUTION" FOR OMAHA.

jealous of their liberties, and will not quietly

Socialists who have allied themselves with
the l. w. w. and frankly avow themselves boil
shevists. and enemies Of the republic, deserve
no consideration. To deny them the right to

speech, but protects that right by preventing
its abuse.
