Canadian Praises
Monroe Doctrine

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Americans are pleased to be reminded
by Canadian that the Monroe Doctrine
Is great instrument of peace. Misin-
formation and MISUNDERSTANDING have
occurred at times to make some of the
nations on this continent, beneficiaries
under the Monroe Doctrine, view It with
suspicion. That Canada, the country
least nkely to be in need of the protec-
ZION AFFORDED by tie Monroe Doctrine,
Is alive to the benefits accruing from ii
Is source Of satisfaction on this side
Of the border.
The subject Is brought to mind by
an address which Dean Percy Elwood
Corbett of McGill University Law School
recently made at the University of
Chicago. Commenting on Canada q
strong sense of security which permits
the national energies to be devoted SO
largely to organizing peace, Dean Corbett
said:
Somewhat unwillingly I have come
at last to the conclusion that the great
strength of the United States and the
likelihood of their preventing encroach-
ments from outside have something to
DO with our state of mind and our
refusal to arm"
In Dean Corbett's words, doubtless
expressing the subconscious opinion of
the people of the Dominion, is the i'm
piled compliment of perfect confidence
in the good faith of the United States.
While this confidence has been strength
ened by the years OF cordial understand
ing, it rests on a historic base.
In the troublous times that brought
forth the Monroe Doctrine, Great
Britain adopted the view of the United
States against the Holy Alliance which
proposed the coercion of South Amer
lean countries then in revolt against
Spain. True, the British were moved
oy the danger to their own large in
terests in this hemisphere. But President
Monroe did not pretend to altogether
altruistic motives. The doctrine he pro-
claimed was intended to prevent the
growth of European military powers
close to our borders which might be
dangerous to us.
But. idealistic or selfish, the Monroe
Doctrine has been a strong cement of
the friendship between the United
states and Canada. AS late as the early
years Of the World War, before this
country got into the conflict, our Gov
eminent made plain its feeling that in
any event we held Canada immune to.
conquest. That reiteration was like the
first enunciation of the Monroe Doctrine,
merely a principle of our own national
security
Canada's appreciation that the Mon
roe Doctrine is neither menacing nor
patronizing to the other nations on this
side OF the world has been one of the
factors In the unwavering friendship
between the Dominion and the United
States. Dean Corbett does a service to
both countries in calling to mind the
value of the Monroe Doctrine in pro-
noting peace with our national neigh

End of Power for Fergusons
Read in Primary Overthrow

Texas, the rest of the South and the
country .. general all seem Impressed
by the defeat of Mrs. Miriam Ferguson
for the Democratic nomination for the
governorship in the Lone Star State
Many predict that there will be nc
future return to power for the defeated
candidate and her husband. The latter
is assumed to engage in political activi-
ties through his wife's campaigns be-
cause Of his own ineligibility as result
Of impeachment.
The wealth Of Ross Sterling, the NOM
inee, was made an issue in the contest
but the Houston Chronicle says: ''Mr
Sterling is q far better friend Of the
poor than Jim Ferguson. He has known
more poverty and more toll. He has
had fewer years of wealth. He lives In
no more luxury today than his oppo-
nent. He has befriended the outcast
and the underprivileged. He has piven
to every charity movement, to organiza-
tons serving the boys and girls OF the
state, to relief Of stricken people in all
parts Of the world. He has given en-
ployment-good mployment-to thou
sands, and has ncTer faced employe
complaint"
Jim Ferguson Is about the last OF q
vanishing race" in the opinion of the
Memphis Commercial Appeal. Ross
Sterling represents the type of public
oficial that is coming more and more
to the front. If he succeeds in carry
ing out his pledges, more men Of bust
ness will enter politics" The San
Antoni) Express believes that the nomi-
nation Of Ross Sterling was demanded

Oklahomar declares that Texas has
done well, and Texas will be eminently
fortunate If she has seen the last of

theatrical known as Fergusonism."

from this distance, the Sterling victory
looms up as a triumph Of political de-
cency and sanity" The Chattanooga
Times holds that "what is more graft

manner in which Texas renowned Jim

"The fact that Mrs. Ferguson released
5000 convicts during her term as Gov
ernor," suggests the Buffalo Evening
News, probably counted strongly against
her. But it always should be counted
to her credit that she scotched the Khan
in Texas. Also Mrs. Ferguson will be
remembered as the first woman elected

best of all. He never calls them "jazz.
Most of his friends know his tastes
and understand the reasons for them
but to acquaintance his liking for thu
rum-tum-tum music seems some
what queer.
Why, I thought he would listen only
TO symphony orcheStraS" said one.
"Or high-brow music"
"Or great songs by the old masters"
y X X
This radio listener has a genuine
taste for all of those, but when it comes
to his real prefere he likes first, last
and all the time the rocking cadences
of the fox-trot.
He finds in this music, as no doubt
hundreds Of thousands Of persons do
an celebrating something or other
which at the same time is soothing.
There is a combinationl Exhilaration
which soothes, lullaby effect with
trimmings of deepest blues"
This music lover brought himself up
as it were, on popular music in his
youth, and has never found 1t necessary
to apologize for 1t.
AS he grew older he took up, nat
urally enough, the better comic operas
the best of the grand variety, the songs
Of the great German composers, the
symphonies of Beethoven.
He grew to know and love them all.
With him all music that was good was
good. It Is a stranre fact that many
music lovers educate" themselves away
from much that Is good.
Becoming enamored Of some one
branch of the art, they tend to forget
and finally to sneer at another. No
real musician does, of course, but alas,
there are thousands of good performers
who are not musicians at heartl
They are but mechanics, laborivusly
blowing through the soul dreams Of the
masters. Often they pillow with great
success and fool thousands of musically
uneducated persons into thinking them
great.
Our friend who likes dance music the
best Of all is thoroughgoing radio

in 1923. He once got" Lloyd George
on 1t from pioneer Station KDKA, at
Pittsburgh.
The famous Democratic convention
which nominated Jawn w. Davis liter
ally broke down his crystal set. 1t was
never any good afterward.
He then purchased a series of radios
ranging from one-tube affairs to his
latest, an eight-tube, which now mainly
supplies him with dance music, to which
he listens with his accustomed solemnity.
Speeches, including those of an
nouncers, he abhors. His perfect broad
casting stations would be one totally
without announcers, an ideal which he
yet believes he will live to hear.
Already, he says. signs point to the
coming Of this type Of station. There
Is one now which broadclsts good pho
nograph music with a minimum of in
terruption. Some day, he believes, a
station will be on the air which will
broadcast hour after hour nothing but
perfect music.
