THE l"N FORTUNATE MONROE AND
HIS DOCTRINE.
When Froff6eor Albert JJttshcell Hart
f Harvard warned the students, of the
University of Chicago that it was doing
President Monroe too much honor to as
cribe the authorship of the Monroe doc
trine to him he could have had no
thought that the idea was a novel one.
For many years it has been part of the
regular duty of American historians to j
explain that John Quincy Adams was
(he real author, in so much that the re
nown of the name has been the worst
possible advertisement for poor Monroe.
If he had obeyed his own inclinations
he might at least have enjoyed an inof
fensive fame and come down to us simply
as the President during the era of good
feeling. The two uneventful adminis
trations would not have been proof that
lie was incapable of dealing with events.
But the doctrine into which he was car
ried by the persistent and self-assertive
Adams destroyed all possible presump
tions in his favor. As it is expounded
with earnest disputatiouo rhetoric as
one of the most important utterances in
our history, the orator stops in the midst
of his eloquence, the writer in the midst
of his dissertation, to ridicule a little
figure that is tossed up on the mighty
flood of words. By so much as the
theme expands by so much does the
figure diminish, until it seems almost a
grievance that the irrelevant and imper
tinent Monroe should have to be noticed
at all in connection with the doctrine.
There is not the slightest possibility
that he will ever be crowned with the
undeserved honor of its authorship, but
upon the whole we should Vie thankful
for him, not impatient of him, because
l.n in n hnloful to our self-esteem. As
we load him down with contempt, re
membering all the while that he was
prominent in politics for the time of the
revolution, that he was Governor of Vir
ginia, United States Senator, minister
to France and to England, Secretary of
War and twice President, we should de
rive much comfort lrom his mediocrity
and our own superiority.
Ir a special session ol the legislature
were called to meet two days In-fore the
regular session, the cost to the state
would amount to very little, while the
caving would be thouranda of dollars if
what is known as the flat salary law is
passed. People who do not want the
flat salary law passed oppose the special
session of the legislature on the grouud
of expeute when they know that some
of the state officials under the present
system draw down close to J-M.IHHJ a
year. Both political parties in their
platforms at the recent election declared
for flat salaries on account of the enor
mous fees drawn by some of the state
officials. The only way these perquisites
can be cut off is by a special session, be
cause the compensation of an official
can not be changed during his term of
office and these officials are inaugurated
with the meeting of the legislature in
regular session. The objection to the
cost of a special session is far outweighed
by the results it would accomplish in
the direct saving of money to the state
Another plea hy those who do not want
their salaries cut down is that it is not
legal. Many of the eminent judges of
the state have given it as their opinion
that the legislature has the authority
under the constitution as il now stands
to put the state officials on flat salaries.
it vou wait until these otticera are
sworn in, it is certain that some of them
will get their present enormous fees and
salaries and it is doubtful if the compen
sation of any could be clanged after
their term had commenced, Now is tie
time to change this if it is to be changed
at all. It is not necessary to have an
expensive constitutional convention to
put these officials on reasonable salaries.
It is hoped that the governor will see his
way clear to call a special session of the
legislature just before the regular session.

Tut Chautauqua that has just closed
was perhaps the most successful held by
the organization. The value of these
sessions are becoming more and more
recognized by the public. The open air
recreation wonld alone justify the ex
istence of the socie'y. To camp for ten
days is of itself a great help to one ment
ally and physically. When in addition
to this, not only good music and other
entertainment is furnished, but oppor
tunity is afforded to hear such men as
Watterson and Mclntyre, Sobieski and
McClary, then no one can afford to miss
the session who can possibly attend.
There are many things yet to be desired,
but these can only come gradually and
with experience. The Chautauqua is on
the high road to success and year by
i year we can expect to see it expand both

GEN. BRAGG SHOULD BE RECALLED.
The idea that our government should
remain passive in the Bragg affair and
await some sort of official complaint
lrom Cuba before recalling tbe contemp
tuous consul general will not satisfy a
j ist sense of the proprieties. In default
of action of Cuba we ourselves are forced
to act in order to uphold our own dig
nity and self respect.
People who discriminate as General
Bragg himself does between the private
letter and the public utterance lose sight
of the essential feature of the case.
That is tbe simple fact that the general
despises Cubans. Surely it is imma
terial bow his feeling is revealed so
long as it is revealed, and with a publi
city as great as though he had addressed
an open meet'ng. His defense is
merely that be was not so indiscreet as
to talk knowingly for publication. It is
all a mischance so far as be is concerned.
Put the secret is out just the same, and
w hat he wrote bis wife bas become most
decidedly tbe business of other people,
in spite of bis tart comment to the con
trary. Leaving the vast problem of congugal
confidence and tbe unexpected that not
infrequently hapjiens trorn them, we
have only to consider that our consul
general at Havana is deeply prejudiced
against the people to whom we have
accredited him. While it is true that
Iiis office is not diplomatic in the broad
est sense, it is clearly an indignity to
keep him any longer among those people,
nor is it compatable with American in
terests wTftch he was appointed to pro
mote. He baa thus become simply Im

tbe Severance case is now reai'y lor a
decision on the merits.
On March C, Ji2, you denied tbe
motion for a continuance for the reason
that the stipnlation referred to has no
application in this case, and yon dis
missed the contest, subject to the right
of appeal.
From your decision dismissing the
I contest, Hays filed his appeal, alleging
error in holding that the stipulation was
not applicable, and error in holding that
it was necessary to take evidence in the
case.
In order to understand the status of
these several contests commenced by
Hays, it is necessary to quote from your
report in the Hays vs. Severance the
record of which is now in this office
upon your renort.
By letter of February 24, 1!K)2, you re
ported in the case referred to.
"In connection with this case an al
leged stipulation was purporting to be
on behalf on thirteen other contestee,
in each of said cases Chas. E. Hays
was contestant, on whose petition a
hearing had been ordered by you under
date of August 22, 1900. The stipulation
also purported to bind William M.
Hamilton and about 71 others, against
whom said Charles E. Hays bad long
before tiled contest affidavits. These
contest affidavits had been rejected as
insufficient by this office and our rejec
tion was sustained by you under date of
May 15, 1900, and upon appeal to the
Secretary, they were again declared in
sufficient by him December 8, 1900. So
far as the records of this office show this
stipulation was absolutely unauthorized
by anybody and it is a fact that some of
the contestees, having heard of it in
some way, employed consul to appear at
this office and protest against it."
There is nothing in the record of this
case to show that the parties signing tbe
stipulation had any authority to appear
in behalf of the contestee and there is
nothing to show that the contestee ever
entered an appearance in the case.
The contest, therefore, stands dis
missed, subject to the right of appeal.
So note on your records, advise the
parties In interest, and report in due
time whether an appeal bas been filed.
