spirit is against ssuch disturbances. But 1t has given us a certain immunity from wars elsewhere in which we had no concern. With profitable study of its possibilities, may we not come soon to the greater doctrine, the more com prehensive agreement, that will make the immunity complete and extend it to all the world?" Assuredly, but how can we do that when we refuse to ex- ercise our influence to this end and in practical manner through specific channels?
 The Monroe Doctrine has proved to be good thing. MT. Hughes has not added much to 1t by way of interpre- tation as did President Wilson %p his Mobile declaration, but he has not mis- represented it's significance. Perhaps, in the light of fuller knowledge as to the history of the development of the idea expressed in the Doctrine, our first step should be for better realization and recognition of the Latin American republics in world program in which they have had 8 recognized iniatory share would be a fine stroke of diplomacy.

By THOMAS R. MARSHALL, Former Vice President of the
 IIxxifnI GfnfsxS

In my boyhood in Indiana our knowledge of Europe was some what vague and shadowy If not inaccurate, and there was quite prevalent idea that the real way to round out a scholastic educa- ton was to travel abroad, study a few months at Oxford and drink some beer at Heidelberg. Men who could afford it sent their sons to Europe for educational and cultural purposes. I well remem- Der the son of our local magnate, a man of predatory wealth in the sum of perhaps s2o.000. He fore shadowed to the rest of us boys what the future of the son or the richest man in our town was to De. He intended to win honors at liar yard and then complete his studies abroad. He even then was an ticipating the pleasure of hearing the American minister to Great Britain preach. He did not finish at Harvard and his scriptural training came from the chaplain of the state penitentiary.
 Whatever of harshness may be said of Europe, 1t Is to be said to her everlasting credit that she satisfies. No man has ever been able, after spending six months at Oxford or Heidelberg, to refrain from talking about his expe- riences. The grand tour enlarged the view and made of the young man a cosmopolite. It lifted him above his fellows and though he might not look down upon them when he returned, he never failed to disseminate culture.
 As the years went by young men whose fathers were not rich began to go to Europe for spe- cific education. Poor artists went for the sake of their art and young scientists for sciences sake. A man did not dare to call himself scientist unless he had come into intimate contact with the German mind. An artist could not paint a picture until he had copied the masterpieces in Paris and Florence. One could not scale the Rockies until he had scaled the Alps. American education was not complete without a post graduate course in Europe.
 As time went on Americans kept going to Europe in annually great CT numbers. Wives and daughters of our manufacturers who could not procure the right kind of ap- parel in America joined the throng. How cheap things were. my dear, and how easy to fool the custom officers they explained. Pleasure seekers, too. found the playgrounds of Europe much to their liking. Europe could satisfy as America could not

APPROVING GREATER ALABAMA

| A wave Of approval of the plan to advertise the opportunities of Ala bama has gone through the press of this state. Very few papers but have had something to say about it, and that by way of commendation. Doubt less they truly reflect the prevailing views of their respective communities. Few indeed are the communities in Alabama that are not beginning to ap- praise their own invitation to~capital and to envision for themselves a near future of expansion, development and prosperity. The story of how other districts have risen to industrial, com- mercial, agricultural or metropolitan importance, though having no greater initial advantages than similar districts in Alabama, has taught the people of this state that their own enterprise is the transforming agent whereby all opportunity is minted into progress and advancement.
 The first thing is to weld Alabama's combined purpose and energy into one ceaseless and resistless appeal to capi- tai, both within and without, to busy itself with the varied, innumerable and promising potentialities that exist everywhere throughout the length and breadth of this state. The Naople of Alabama are in the mood to progress; the capital of the nation is ample and seeking investment; the trend. of in- 'dustry is now more Southward than ever before. The omens are propi- tious. Now for that united effort and action which are needed to exert the pulling power necessary to overcome in some measure the similar power exerted by other states in their own behalf. And if all Southern states join in this Southward pull, who can measure the material benefit that will result therefrom?
 Already there are agencies that are advertising Alabama. In this act doubtless some of the very agents have had their own eyes opened to their own opportunity to develop some enter prise or other not hitherto noticed. Citizens of Alabama need not look altogether to outsiders to furnish the cash and sinews in the building of greater commonwealth. There are, many in Alabama who have idle funds and unused energy to devote to the profitable exploitation of their local resources. This state is an empire, containing within itself the capacity to maintain itself in comfort and even luxury, were some catastrophe sud- denly to hem us off from all outside contacts. Unless we develop that em- pire, however, 1t is not an empire. Opportunities unrealized or unutilized are as if thev wera mt

of the American congress went over this summer. I wondered why President Coolidge did not convene an extraordinary session of the congress to sit somewhere in Europe about September 1. Tho members could have assembled forthwith at any one ,of several places where assemblages have been sitting almost continuously since the war to straighten the world with the scratch of a pen.
 It might have been we'll for the congress to discuss Europe on the ground. Maybe her problems would have seemed more real. Perhaps America would not have seemed so isolated. Maybe al- dances would not have appeared so entangling. It is just possible that the thought of America going it alone would not have been so compelling.
 The remarks at the dock of sem ators- and repreSentatives who spent the summer in Europe re- minded me of an incident in my law pAOctice. We had a drunken Irishman in our county who was a devout churchman. He went home drunk and whipped his wife once too often. She procured a divorce. Then the church inter yened and they went to living to- gether again. When the neighbors began to talk the old man con- suited me as to whether there was any danger of his being arrested. -l, AlJ Jar I told him I thought no trouble would arise, but that he should obtain a marriage license and have the priest remarry them. With 8 crack of his fist on the table, he protested: "I'll not do it. I've got her where I want her. By the laws of the church she's my wife, and by the laws of the property" Such seems to be the that we would like to have with Europe.
 Europe this summer offered a peculiar satisfaction. A man hold ing any view could obtain confir- mation of it. Each investigator of conditions had no difficulty in convincing himself that he was right before he started. Facts to justify his belief were on every hand. He could return with the same set of conclusions he carried over with him. If before his de- parture he had wrought upon the misfortunes and prejudices of his fellow men and induced them to believe that they were not masters of themselves, but were being held in subjection; if he had proclaimed that America was not democratic, but oligarchic or despotic; if he had argued that the only way in which Americans were to be pre- served from serfdom was to elect him to office that he might bring

FLORIDA YIELDS A MAMMOTH

Just as Florida las vied with Cali fernia in praise of climate, and com peted with her for tourists, so has Florida sought to keep up with Cali fornia in advertising allurements. No sooner has the furore over the Santa Barbara discovery of remains of a prehistoric man died down than Flor ida comes forward with a bid for na- tional attention' by exhibiting the bones of mammoth of fifty thousand years or so ago. The, scientist who su- perintended the exhuming of the skele- ton says that the creature, probably borne out of it's native latitude by glacial or other impulse, was twelve feet high and twenty-four feet long, or one-fourth larger than the elephants of today. That seems large enough for all practical advertising purposes.
 According to the press report, the tusk discovered was eighteen inches in diameter at it's base and probably eight feet long. The mammoth mired down in the mud where it was found, and there it lay all these years and cen turies and tens of centuries until the psychological moment when it might be resurrected to contribute to the fame of Florida whose climate it sought when that glacier of distant past made it too uncomfortable in the Northern winter. That's boost for Florida's climate that California will have hard work to overcome. The scientist says that the animal perished

MIR. MOSES MISSES THE MARK

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet-but world court by any other name is something else again. At least, that is what Sena- tor Moses of New Hampshire would have people believe. Senator Moses, who is bitter-ender, is opposed to the world court idea as set forth by MT. Harding and accepted by MT. Coolidge, with, to be sure, reservations and mis- givings. The New England senator offers instead the court at The Hague. On this point he says: "We are daily assured by those who wish to profit by our power and our authority that we possess the moral leadership of the world. If so, why not reassert it-by turning again to The Hague tribunal, living body which needs only to be nurtured to become what we once sought to make it?" It is too bad that MT. Moses possesses neither q gift for logic nor sense of humor. Either would have saved him from such statement.
 If The Hague court were living body, why did it not grow under the nurture formerly given it? If it did not grow then, but would grow now under proper encouragement, does the difference lie in the court or in the at- titude of the nations towards such n tribunal? If the transformation is in the attitude of the nations, then what difference does it make to MT. Moses whether the court is at The Hague or at Geneva, or anywhere else? But 1t does make difference to t,h.c nations, the great majority of which are already committed to the league court by the most recent and the strongest of bonds.
 Perhaps MT. Moses thinks that the only way we can assert our title to leadership is to turn nations away from their present program to another se- lected by us. Doubtless Mr. Moses idea of leadership would be to break up one game and start another pro- posed by the wouldbe leader. Real leaders, however, are those who play the game so we'll that the others fol- low instinctively. The way to exert our leadership is to join the other na- ,tions in their efforts to promote world

MOST INTERESTING
 PERSON IN WORLD
By Thomas l.. Mason

A new book, which contains a chapter and @ lot of fresh material about Napoleon, has just been pub lished. It is called Post Nor tenn" and the author is a doctor named c. MacLaurin. He says that Napoleon was deserted by his wife, Marie Louise, that Josephine was what he terms "a flighty Gre ole who pleased herself entirely" :" and that the only one of his family who took much interest in him was his mother, who asked to fol- low him to St. Helena.
 In connection with this I heard story about him which was de- clared to be true. When he was emperor, at the height of his power. he sent his mother a sum amounting to about twenty thou sand dollars. telling her in effect to spend 1t and have good time. She wrote back that she had put 1t in the bank, saving it for a rainy day. because she knew him well enough to realize that disaster would finally overtake him.
 pr. MacLaurin emphasizes the mother nature, remarking, however great mans fall, his mother never deserts him, and asylum doctors find that long after the wife or sisters forget some demented or bestial creature, his mother loyalty continues her visits until tho grave closes over one or the other." In modification of all this however Dr. MacI,aurir says that Napoleon's sister, Pau line Bonaparte, "who was looked upon as shameless hussy' and had a long list of discreditable stories strung across her path, wanted to follow Napoleon, and sold her Jewels to make him com fortable at St. Helena She died four years after him Of cancer, the disease which also caused his death. The last thing she said was, calling for a mirror and looking into 1t: "I am still beau tiful; am not afraid to die."
 Napoleon had very small hands and feet. Opinions seem to differ about his height, but the best au- thority gives 1t as five feet five. 70 When he was crowned emperor, as he walked through the crowded galleries to the throne, he turned to his brother and whispered: What would father say if he could see this?'' Dr. MacLaurin says that he probably did not have epilepsy, and gives apparently con- vincing reasons for this opinion.
