the capacity of lawgiver and thinker he
ranks among the first half dozen men in the
making of the United States.
James Monroe, who kept the State port

President Madison, held more offices of dis
tinction than any other man of his time.
Like his predecessors, Jefferson, Marshall
and Madison, he began his political career
in the Virginia Legislature. He was in turn

Governor of Virginia, plenipotentiary to

the second time. Governor of Virginia 1t
was on his second mission TO France that he
and Robert r. Livingston, in 1903, obtained
from Napoleon, for s0,000,000 francs, the
Louisiana territory. Monroes most endur-
ing fame rests upon the signal act of his
second Administration as President, when he
set forth in a message to Congress the Doc
trine that bears his name and which played
so important part in the election of 1920.
The Monroe Doctrine was the natural as
well as the crowning accomplishment of
man whose whole career was intensely
American. Monroe was a soldier in the
war for independence, an advocate of keep
ing the Mississippi and of acquiring Lou
isiana and Florida and strong defender
of our maritime rights. When he put into
words the thought that had been Americas
since the days Of Washington-that Europe
must not be permitted to add 10 it's terri
