I . Ilf Bill In Senate That
■S Repeal Treaties Violating
V jt9 provisions.
■ -oi to the Independent.
Klshington, D. C., Oct. 28.—
Ere has been a warm time in
■ senate owing to the discus
E of the bill providing for
■ er safety at sea, through
Ee rigid laws pertaining to
■regulation of seamen and ap
■?, Senator LaFoilette
made one of his wonderful fights
for his substitute bill.with which
he upset the committee measure.
Senators Burton and Bacon
made a determined but ineffect
ual attempt to strike out all pro
visions in conflict with existing
treaties.
At one stage of the proceedings
Mr. Burton was reminded by
Senator Lane of Oregon that he
evidenced a surprising amount
of lack of knowledge of the sub
ject He was discussing. “From
the way he talks,” said Lane,
“he knows nothing about the
proposition of which he speaks.”

There were numerous amend
ment.' offered to the substitute
bill, but most of them came to
grief.
However, Senator Page made
a light for his own Lake Cham
plain, and stated that the navi
| gation of the “Vermont” that
the boat was manned by com
petent young men from Yer
jntont and New York, who under
j the law would be classed as “able
| seamen.” Senator Dillingham
| remarked that the same require
| ment that applied to Lake !
j Champlain might also refer to
j Lake George as well as to lakes
of like character through New
England and elsewhere.
The small inland excursion
boats are exempted from the
general legislation by the Page
amendment. which provides
that where the line of travel “is
at no part more than three and
; one-half miles from shore,” that j
! the new bill will not apply. Aj
measure along these same lines,,
which it is said was not so dras
tic as the La Toilette measure,
was vetoed last year by Presi
l dent Taft.
In the La Toilette bill the j

gate all treaties that conflict
with the new law. The bill re
fill ires better and more sanitary
quarters for seamen and work
ing conditions on board ships,
restricts the hours of labor, a
bolished arrest and imprison
ment for desertion, and requires
men shall be given one-half pay
due when a ship enters any port
to load or discharge a cargo.
A full equipment for lifeboats
for all souls on board is requir
ed, and lifeboat drills, both in
harbor and at sea. are . compul
sory. Under this law no vessel
can depart from any port in the
United States unless she has on
board a crew, not less than sev
enty-five per cent of which, in
each department is able to un
derstand any order given by
the offiicers.

Stirs Up Strife
Mans Senator- Defend Monroe
Doctrine a.- Useful to 1’eaee
of Western C ontinent
Special to independent.
Washington, D. < .. Oct. 2U_
There is no editor in the Unit
ed States capable of stirring up
more controversy than Colonel
Henry Waterson, the distin
guished gentleman who preside.-,
over the destinies of the Louis
ville Courier-Journal. Colonel
Waterson warmly defended hi
fellow Colonel Harvet, of Har
per’s Weekly whose support \va
displeasing to .Mr. Wilson be-j
fore the Baltimore Convention.!
Mr. Waterson has discovered
that the time-houored Monroe
Doctrine is no longer useful. “It
would seem to be a good time
for fishing the Monroe Doc trim
out of the closet of old clothes,"
says Colonel Waterson, after
which he would “take a long,
last look at it, before transferr
ing it back to the back closet of
things no longer useful.”
Great senators of the United
States have been brought to ex
press their views upon this top
ic, and they all defend the sa
lved relic. Senator Shafrotli of
Colorado says: “I am unyield
ing in my determination to up
hold the Monroe Doctrine at all
hazards.”
Senator Bristow of Kansas
says he does not believe in abol
ishing the Monroe Doctrine, or
the principles upon which it was
founded, and declares such a
thing would be the most upopu
lar thing that could be proposed
in this country. ‘‘The man in
public life who suggests this
will live to regret it,” he says, to
which Senator Burton of Ohio,
adds, “I am not one of those who
believe that the Monroe Doc
trine has reached the stage of
decadence and should be cast
aside. Senator Bacon, chair
man of the Senate Commitete on
Foreign Relations, expresses his
opinion as follows, “I do not a
gree with the suggestion that
the Monroe Doctrine is effete
and no longer of value to the
United States. Its provisions
are, in my opinion, now more
useful to the peace and safety of
the United States than in the
days of Canning and the Holy
Alliance.” Senator Martine of
New Jersey fairly exploded at
the mere suggestion: ‘‘Banish
the Monroe Doctrine? Never!
Instead of giving it up we should
talk about endorsing it and giv
ing it life and health and
strength.”
