A Modern Monroe Doctrine
The Monroe Doctrine, in es
sence that the United States
will brook an increase in Europe
an influence in the Western
Hemisphere, was enunciated
first in 1823 by President Mon
roe, but it has not been a cast
iron pronunciamento
Rather it has gone tnrougn a
process of evolution as was but
natural, to conform to changing
conditions, and, as it has chan
ged in the past so it must be ex
pected to change in the future.
Briefly stated, the first enun
ciation of the doctrine (instigat
ed and formulated not by Mon
roe, but by Secretary of State
Adams) was to the effect that, j
(1) to maintain the world bal
ance, Europe hnust not meddle
with Western Hemisphere af
fairs just as the Western Hem
isphere must not meddle with
European affairs; (2) European
countries shall not push any
j more colonization schemes in
i the Western Hemisphere; and,
S (3) that there shall be no in
| tervention by European coun
: tries in the affairs of the na
tions of either American contin
ent, and that the United States
would construe as inimical to
itself'any attempt on the part
of such powers to interpose in
American affairs,
j The other American nations
; wanted a direct promise of the
protection of this country a
j gainst European aggression, but
j this government gave them dis

Don’t make the mistake of buying a cheap range—a great many ranges are built to sell— not to use. Don’t mak(
mistake of buying the range you expect to last a lifetime “unsight unseen”—you’ll be s ure to be disappointed. I
let any smooth-tongued salesman talk you into buying a n unknown range—get a Majes tic and you’re sure to be s
fied. Come to our store during the demonstration Areek—see the Great Majestic—find out why the Majestic is
per cent stronger than other ranges, where others are weakest. And remember we can show you hundreds of sat
Majestic owners in and around Newport—people who are just as enthusiastic about the Great Majestic as we are.
THIS IS A SPECIAL INVITATION TO YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS. j

tinctly to understand that they
must protect themselves, if at
tacked by European powers.
From 1846, the year of the
Mexican war, to 1885, the Mon
roe doctrine underwent a series
of modifications and construings
according to the views of suc
ceeding presidents and secreta
ries of state, but in 1861 the
very contingency arose which
Monroe had in mind, European
invasion and occupation, when
France tried to claim Mexico
and seat Maximillian on the
throne. The reiteration of the
doctrine, with a threat of war,
induced the French regretfully
to leave. From 1890 the gener
al arppntance of thp dnptrinp is
that the United States has and
will exercise a dominating inter
est in American affairs.
The construction of the Pana
ma canal has had a tendency to
strengthen the logic of this con
tention, but, on the other hand,
the rise to power and influence
of certain South American
states, Brazil, Argentine and
Chili, suggest, a modification.;
This latter sentiment, it must
•be noted, arises not from sugges-!
tion from the nations named, j
but form students of world poli
cy in our own land.
Several have made the sugges
tion that the time has arrived
when the states named should
not be considered as under the <
tutelage of the United Stated, !
a
through the Monroe doctrine but 0,
that they should now be con- ji
sidered as equal partners with
the United States in the right
and duty of upholding the doc
trine of “America for the Amer
icans.” Roosevelt has lately ex
pressed the same idea in a lit
tle different form in one of his
South American addresses by 1
saying that the three powerful
states named are graduates of
the Monroe doctrine, meaning
that they no longer need the
protecting aegis ot the Monroe
declaration but that, having ar
rived at mature national stature
they are now bound to repay the
nurture, protection and tutelage
they have received by joining
and sharing with the United
States, the burden of the future
maintainance of the doctrine.
In this view we heartily concur,
as being just to both the United
States and the great South A
merican nations—Fort Smtih
