CITY OFFICIAL
GEORGE H. BLAKESLEE, professor of history in Clark Univer
sity, makes in the current North American Review a constructive and
common sense contribution to the recent discussion over the Monroe
doctrine. He does not hold it obsolete. He leaves that position to academic
eccentrics. But he does hold, and rightly, that it needs authoritative restatement.
For there is no doubt that our neighbors to the southward, and espe
cially the people of the stronger South American states, do not understand
the Monroe doctrine as we do. What we mean by it is a policy adopted fos
the protection of our weaker American neighbors from European aggression.
What they feel is that it is an asseration of a decidedly offensive superiority.
We mean by it simply "The Americas for the Americans." We con strue
it as giving no right to interfere in the domestic concerns of our neigh
bors, except for their protection against Europe by occasionally aiding their
protection against their own turbulent elements. They fear that it means
"The Americas for the United States."
Professor Blakeslee gives a large number of illustrations of the existence
of this feeling. Its origin is undoubtedly in a misunderstanding of certain
utterances of our leading public men from time to time, and especially in the
utterly foolish treatment of international news and rumors by a large section
of our own press.
A pungent illustration of this folly is the way in which many newspapers
asserted that the United States -would resent as "a violation of the Monroe
doctrine" the recent rumor of a British intention to fortify the Bermudas.
The rumor was incredible of itself, since the islands are unfitted for a place
of arms. Even if true it was none of our business, unless we should hold
that such fortifications would threaten us. They couldn't threaten any other
American republic. But to South America it looked like an assertion of
''continental suzeraintv."
Mr. Olney's "Today the United States is practically sovereign on this
continent and its fiat is law, upon- the subjects to which it confines its inter
position," is incessantly quoted, and misconstrued, in South America. Mr.
Olney had his eye fixed on British aggression in Venezuela, and wished to ex
press our unbending resolution that it must end. So he put the strong af
firmation first and appended the limitation. South American publicists re
member the affirmation and forget the limitation.
For these reasons Professor Blakeslee suggests that the United States in
vite the well-established governments of South America Argentina, Brazil,
and Chili to join the United States in the reaffirmation of the Monroe
doctrine in its real sense and in assumption of responsibility for its enforce
ment. What is needed is that the United Sttaes, by thus associating with itself
the other American republics which are well able to protect themselves, should
get out of the stepfatherly, or "bossy big brother," attitude in which it seems
to stand in Argentine, Bralilian nda Chilian eyes. With the leading Ameri
can powers thus united aganst any European aggression it would not be pos
sible to represent the Monroe doctrine as one of "Yankee arrogance."

JUST AS THE PANAMA canal is practically completed and the engi

Americans Look For Amusement In
Drama,
By LUDWIG FULDA, German Dramatist and Port
WHY is it that American playwrights don't do better technically? I
dare not give an explanation except that I think it comes back
once more to the essential difference between American and Eu
ropean audiences which I have already pointed out to the fact that here
you want AMUSEMENT and there we want ART.
-In the European playhouses, where our really artistic plays are given,
spectators look upon them as they look upon religion. They are not in a
theater; they are at church. They actually have a. FEELING OF DE
VOTION when they are seeing a performance of some masterpiece of
our drama. , ' . . ' ,.
TO AMERICANS, I AM SURE, SUCH A FEELING IS QUITE UN-.
KNOWN., JT IS MORE OF AN AMUSEMENT THAN ART TO MOST
AMERICANS. " ' ' ' '
However, America has progressed with such extraordinary rapidity
in other things that I do not see why it should not do likewise in the
drama. The American taste for what is really artistic has ADVANCED
in all other branches of art; therefore,
is unavoidable in theatrical matters.

Colonel Goethals is the central star. It is" Colonel Gorgas who cleaned up
the Canal Zone and made it habitable for the white mail. It is Lieutenant
Colonel Sibert who built the Gatun dam. Others did this and that detail
of the great whole.
It fell to Lieutenant Colonel Gaillard, as division engineer of the cen
tral division, to have chrage of the excavation of the Culebra cut through the
backbone of the isthmus. Had it not been for one thing the landslides that
have persisted the cutting of the Culebra cut would have been largely a mat
ter of men, machinery and money. As it was, the persistence of the slides,
owing to the unstable nature 6f the banks, has made the Culebra cut perhaps
the most difficult problem of the canal construction. .
Against this treachery, of nature Lieutenant Colonel Gaillard pitted his
splendid ability, abundant vitality and unswerving loyalty. It was a tremen
dous fight, but he carried the Culebra cut through to completion. The water
is.. in the Culebra cut and the dredges are even now removing the last land
slide at Cucuracha for the passage of vessels.
The engineer won success, but the price of success was his lite, 'inc
strain of six long tropical years wrecked him physically, and last August he
was ordered home for medical treatment. -A growth in the head which de
fied operation was the cause of his death at the age of 54. In' recognition of
his service a. bill was recently introduced in congress promoting him to the
rank of colonel.
Thus passed in his prime a public servant who gave his life to his work.
By engineers he will be remembered as the man who dug the Culebra cut. By
the Army his memory will be treasured as that of an officer and a gentleman
who embodied the efficiency and devotion to duty of the service.
Man changes the face of nature even to the extent of sundering contin
ents and uniting the oceans. But he pays the price. Lieutenant Colonel
David Du Bose Gaillard dug the Culebra cut and paid for this achievement
with his life.

CHIEF SHAW GIVES HIS SIDE
OREGON CITY, Ore., Dec. 17. (Ed
itor of the Enterprise.) I noticed in
the Morning Enterprise a long article
entitled "Shaw Makes a Bad Break.'
I do not know what the motive was
that prompted the communication.
The writer was either opposed to the
strict enforcement of the law in Ore
gon City, or else he was laboring un
der a misunderstanding as to what the
facts were.
In the first place gambling has been
going on in the premises in question.
It was not until a short time ago that
I learned of this. I talked with peo
ple who told me that they sat at a
game conducted in the place in ques
tion. Accordingly I instructed the
men on the police force to keep strict
watch of the premises and to break
up any game found to be running.
Section "2" of the Home Rule pro
vides there shall be no door or en
trance leading from a saloon to priv
ate rooms except to a store room. On
the day in question when it is alleged
that I made the bad break, I entered
the saloon run by Carl Buse and in
vestigated the premises to see wheth
er or not he was complying with the
ordinances. . I found -that there was
a door leading from the saloon to two
rooms occupied by Clyde Kerr and
wife. As an officer doing my duty, I
had a right to investigate the premises
of the saloon to see whether the or
dinances were being complied with.
At the time no outcry was made by
these outraged citizens. I asked the
occupants of the rooms if any gambl
ing was going on and they told me
"no."
I was invited to go upstairs and in
spect that part of the house. This I
did at the invitation of the persons
mentioned in the aforesaid communi
cation. Everything was harmonious
and peaceful. I placed Carl Buse un
der arrest for -violating the Home Rule
ordinance. He was tried in the muni
cipal court and found guilty and a
fine of $ 10 was imposed on him. My
first thought was to search the rooms
that opened in to the bar room to see
whether these rooms were used foi
living rooms contrary to the ' ordin
ance. I certainly had a right to enter
the rooms occupied by Mr. Kerr and
wife. Under the "ordinance they had
no right to use the said rooms as long
as the door that opened into the bar
room was not nailed dp or otherwise
barred. If the parties mentioned did
not want me in their rooms they
should not have Invited me. - -'As
long as I am chief of police in
Oregon City, gambling must be stopped.-
There has been too much play
ing behind locked doors.
Respectfully, '
E. L. SHAW."

LESSON FROM A GREAT GERMAN.
I have always striven to learn some
thing new, and when I found myself com
pelled thereDy to revise my former ideas
I have done so Immediately and have
prided myself on my action, for I always
place my country above myself. Bis
marck. . Thus spoke the "maker of modern
Germany," first chancellor of the
mighty German empire. He was a
man great in warfare and statecraft,
wtio converted Germany from a col
lection of small, jarring kingdoms and
principalities into one of the greatest
powers of modern times. He ruled em
perorsgreater than that, he ruled
himself. The extract from his writ
ings printed above proves that
He was too great a man to cherish a
mistaken idea. When be found that
one of his ideas was wrong he discard
ed it, as a good workman throws away
a wornout tool.
One of the most imperious of men,
ancient or modern ask any middle
aged or old German who knows the
history of his country, for instance he
was not too proud to acknowledge him
self in the wrong.
Why?
Because be always placed his coun
try above himself.
Read there the secret of the man's
success. Throughout his long life,
from the time he entered the service
of Prussia as a member of the diet
until the rising sun of Emperor Wil
liam II. dimmed his own glory, he serv
ed his country, and served it welL
To each of us in his own sphere
comes the time when "We must ac
knowledge that one or more of our
ideas are wrong, that the notions we
have formed are ill conceived.
-When that time comes let us do as
Bismarck did. Let us revise our for
mer ideas Immediately. Let us not
cling with the stubbornness of the lit
tle to false notions.
If he could give in, we can. -
Not even the great general can. af

mass of useless, dragging baggage.
The great man as well as the little
must know what to leave behind.

It Is with Ideas. Each of us
marches to the battle with a certain
amount of mental baggage. Live lug

not feel, for we know, that Jt Is pre
cious stuff.- But we must not fill our
mental knapsacks with the rubbish
we have picked up along the road. It
will be in our way.
"Follow Bismarck's plan.; When new
knowledge forces on you the convic
tion that the old idea is wrong, let it
