It Seems
to Me
by HAYWOOD BRoUN -

NEW YORK, May 24.-President
L Y RqoseveltS suggestion that the
nations of the world should send
no armed forces Of whatsoever ma
ture across their frontiers" will be
increasingly effective if it is clari-
fed and carried to its logical con-
cluSion.
1t ought to mean that America
renOunceS its Self-aSsumed right to
police Central and South America.
Indeed. it should mean the end Of
the Monroe doctrine. or at any
rate. its more modern interpreta-
tons.
II European nations pledge them
selves not TO send expeditionary
forces to protect their neurals."
then We shall have not the slightest
excuse for ever landing marines on
any distant shore.
Under this Interpretation Of inter-
national obligations. I even can not
see our right to retain control Of
the customs house Of the republic
of Haiti
A remuneration Of the Monroe
doctrine would do a great deal TO
build up the prestige of the United
States and to promote amity be
tween ourselves and The neighbors
to the south. Adventures such as
the flying column to get Villa and
the landing at Vera Cruz not only
accomplish nothing from a selfish
imperialist point of view but actu-
ally caused us great damage by set
ting all Latin America against us.

7 AM the wife of a man who has

good many years and we always
have found that company fair and
square. Of course his time has
been cut and he is afraid Of be-

man who works for some one else
has the same fear. Thousands of
men are on small pay or have
been let out entirely who do not
or did not work for the telephone
company.

Rose Petals
BY VI. E. MARLOWE

d. VI. r. MARLUWE
I WOO the summer back again.
In mem'ry fair it glows.
While youth and joy and tender pain
Dance by on spectral toes:
And in my heart an old refrain
With sad, sweet cadence flows.
Rich, once, was I, with summers gain
When true love found repose,
And tears as soothing as the rain
Mourned at the seasons close:
Tonight,my soul thrills up again
To touch this faded rose.

Schools Receive Money

The public schools throughout
Ohio received last week a Christ
mas present in the first distribution
of money derived from the liquid
fuel tax. The money was distrib-
uted by the state auditors office,
on the basis of average daily at
tendance for each school district in
the state, as certified by the state
auditor, by B. O. Skinner, state di-
rector of education. The grand to-
tai average daily attendance report
ed for all school districts in the
state was 1,2O0,998 pupils, accord
ing to Joseph w. FIGHTER, assistant
state director of education. Approx
imately $2,O96,528 was distributed
in this first quarterly ALLEGATION. 1t
is estimated that each school dis
trict will receive $8 per pupil dur
ing the year, based on the average
daily attendance reports. The rea-
son that the first quarterly distri-
button is less than So per pupil, is
that the ALLEGATION for special class
es and vocational classes for the
entire year of 1888, according to
the law, must be deducted from
the first quarterly distribution.
Under this distribution Morgan
county received for rural districts,
$3,275.15; and Malta-McC Connels-
vile. $1,225.OS.

Sheriffs and Treasurers Can Serve
More Than Two Terms

While no doubt all the county
sherffs and treasurers know of the
change in adoption of the recent
home rule amendment to the state
constitution, there are probably
many thousands of other voters
that don't know the provision lim-
iting these county officials to serve
more than four years out of the six
has been repealed. Under article
x of the old constitution the terms
of these officers were limited to four
years or reelection once. Under
the new constitution there is no linn
it on the number of terms they
may serve. AS a result a good many
county treasurers and sheriffs who
are now serving their second term
will be eligible, and expect to be
candidates for third term. Maybe
after that they will want a fourth
and fifth term, and there isn't a
thing to prevent it, but the consent
