Ily FREDEIUC J. IIASKlN. (Copyrlcht, 1B08, by Fredorlo J. nankin.) Vu8lilngton, Aug. 21. When Car many, or Kranre, or the Netherlands or any other Kuropean nation, has an ac count aKalnst a Latin-American repub lic and threaten to send wamlilp's in stead of constables to collect tlio bill, there la always talk about the Monroe doctrine. This talk la generally to the effect that the United States will not permit any effete eastern monarchy or any effete eastern government of any kind to be rude enough to nhoot at any of our dark-eyed alutora of the south, llnre eapeclally Is this true if the war cloud hovers over Vencsuela. Thirteen years aK the United States frovcrnment. In behalf of venesueia ana n support of the Monroe doctrine, .did invite a third war with England. Remembering- how much the United States risked upon that occasion, Americana are inclined to be more than impatient with the attitude of the Venezuelan government under Castro an attitude showing rather more of contempt for the "pigs of North Americans" than of gratitude to the protecting elder sister among western republics. While the United Stntes will never abandon the Monroe (Vx'trlhe as long as it has power and influence enough to enforce it. It does not follow that this country will Interfere in every quarrel between a Latin-American re public and a nation of Europe. Tho Monroe doctrine Is that settled princi ple which binds the United States to resist tjja efforts of any European country to acquire or exiena territory In the Americas. If the Netherlands, In the present instance, desires to shoot tip one of Mr. Castro's ports as a puni tive measure, the Monroe doctrine docs not apply. But If the Dutch should take advantage of that act of war to extend their territory in South Amer ica, that would be a dlffere-nt matter, and the United State would bo certain to interfere. Cloaa to- Heal War Once. Nobody has 6erlously considered the possibility of war between the United States and the Netherlands, but Vene zuela and Brazil have been the hasos of more than one war with Germany, fought in wardrooms of Amorionn bat tleships and In officers' clubs of Amer ican navy posts. In fact, until Japan loomed large over the western horizon, the Jingolsts fresh from Annapolis and West Point expected a brush with the kaiser every morning on account of eomo German-Latin quarrel on this sldo of the Atlantic. Smile as we may at these rumors of wars, the Venezuelan boundary ques tion presented a very rent and extreme ly grave situation in which war with (irent Britain was actually imminent. In that ca,st the Rrrtlsh omplre was attempting to extend tho limits of Its territory in tioutn America without re- Taft Tells Virginia Iiepub licans Time Has Come to Break From Traditions. (Ualted Pruu Laasad Wlrs.l Hot Springs. Va.. Aug. 21. William Howard Taft In his uddress to the Re publicans pf Virginia, who gathered here to meet him toduy, appealed to the "solid south" to break away from the Dcmocrstlu column, and said: "Every one having the interest of the country at heart would rejoice to have' the solid south, as a Democratic asset In every national campaign, brok en up. It would bo better for the states themselves and for the country. The Republican party Is not sectional, which the fact that the south always supports the Democratic party would Indicate. "Tho Republican party hss Improved the waterways, is building tho Panama canal, has started a movement for the redemption of swamp lands and the con servation of the foreat and water re sources, and Is taking many other steps for the dovelonment of the south. The growth and development of the mining and Iron Industrie of the south are di rectly due to the laws enacted by the Republican, party. No attention has been tiald to nartlson nrocllvltles in ap pointments In (tho Philippines, Porto Rico and Cuba. South Considered Bar Asset. "Tho reason that the south has such little influence In tho executive branch of the government is that the south has ulvvnys been considered by the Democ racy, especially by the northern Democ racy, as a part of the country certain to support the Democratic ticket There fore, when the Republican party is in power It is Wither natural nor to bo expected that It should summon to Its executive positions leading men from the opposing ranks In the south. "The only cure Is by Independent ac tion and support of the Republican tick et. I know the south Is conservative. Hv traditions Its attachment to the Democratic party Is firm, but a party represents principles, and when prin ciples change, though the name of the party remains the same. It would seem that arter a while traditional aitacn tnents would rest lightly on an lntelll aent eommunltv." Taft referred to the Spanish wtar as havlne done much to weld the north and south and remove sectional feeling. Ho said: So, too, the south has not the slight est sympathy with tho spirit of the T km.ir'-n H . nlnffftrm fuvrtm f ln tile. ruptlon of certain ndustrial interests) for tho purpose of stamping out evil in their conduct, rather than their regula tion with a view toward bringing them within the law. They know and under stand the threat against the property of the country Involved, in placing In power the Democratic party under its present leadership." In another portion of his speech, Taft replied to Bryan's speech of acceptance, particularly to the charge that the fieople do not rule and that the Repub Ican party Is responsible for corpora tion abuses. Taft pointed to the over whelming majority given McKlnley and Roosevelt, the maintenance of the" gold standard ond the protective tariff. He declared tho conduct of the present ad ministration to he an expression of the will of tho people, and dwelt at length on Roosevelt's efforts to purge the country of corporation evils, and called attention to the legislation that has been enacted In that direction.

The operation of Oregon's new compulsory education law which 1ms been under one year of practicable demonstration has been very satisfactory according to the reports received by Superintendent of Public Instruction Arkermnn. The statistics of the biennial report also bear out this statement There are several counties where tho ier cent of attendance has fallen down, but an especial effort will be made during the approuchlng schojl year to extend the operation of tho law. Under this law parents may be fined from f5 to $2t if they do not compel rers 1 be appointed for every district In the their children to k to school law provides that truant officer he may gard to the Insistence of the claims of Venezuela. The question of territory was involved, and if Mr. Cleveland had pursued any other courso than that which he did, the Monroe doctrine would now be dead as the Missouri compromise or tho Allen and Sedition laws. How the British Claim Grew. Venezuela became independent of Spain In 1811 and 20 years later was organized under Its present form with approximately Its present noumlaries At the beginning, its territorial limits were described as those of the old i-pa nl Mi captain-generalcy-of-Canuasan extremely vague description. In 1 1 1 4 l'nglund became possessed of what :s wow tha colony of British Cuiana, ad joining Venezuela on tho east. Eng land's title was derived from tho Dutch, tho transfer being made at tho fame time as that of the Cape of Good Hope. The limits of tho Dutcu pos sessions wore but vaguely determined. The boundary dispute with Venezuela began in 1S14, when British troops oc cupied positions claimed by Venezuela. That was the beginning of a lunar series of disputes, In which the Brit ish lines were extended from time to time, until, at last, the English laid claim to an expanse of terrltorv as large ns Ohio which was not included In their original claim. J. B. Wouldn't Arbitrate. Venezuela first appealed lo the United States in 1876, when Hamilton Fish was secretary of state. All ef forts to Induce Great Britain to sub mlt tuo question to arbitration were futile. Again In 18S1, the Venezuelan government appealed to Washington for protection from British ships at the mouth of the Orinoco. presumably there to enforce the British boundary claims. William M. Evarts was then secretary of state, and he wrote to the British government that "This gov ernment cannot look with indifference upnn the forcible acquisition of such territory by England, If the mission of the vessels now at the mouth of tho Orinoco should be found to be for that end." Other secretaries of state who Intervened with appeals to England to grant Venezuela's requests for arbi tration were: James G. Blaine In 1881. Frederick T. KreJlnghuysen in 1862 and Thomas F. Bayard In 1SS8. The uuarrel was becoming more bit ter each year, and In 1887. during the first Cleveland administration, tho British attitude was so aggressive as give rise to grave fears. The "lean government made formal Ion to American government made formal t der of its good offices as a meditator in the dispute, but this friendly ad vance was repelled by the British gov ernment. Taklnff Venezuela's Plaoa. In 1894 Venezuela again appealed to Pecretarv of Stato Walter Q. Gresham, Mr. Cleveland having come to the White House again. Conditions were assuming the aspect of a crisis, when Mr. Gres ham died, and was -succeeded at the head of the department of state by Richard Olnev. Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Olney reached the conclusion that Great Brit- i1n would never admit that the United never admitted that there wits anything In the Monroe doctrine, but, so Lord Salisbury Intimated, had been willing to let the I'nlted States have such a doctrine to play with and to help the Americans Indulge in their harmless hallucination that the I'nlted States was a world power. It was a nice bit of English superiority, that note, and when Mr. Cleveland got It. did he get "mad"? The record Indicates that he did. Early in December he sent to congress his famous message on Venezuela. He reviewed the boundary' disputes be tween England and Venezuela and called attention to England's evident deter mination to disregard Venezuela's i-lnlrus. As England was blocking very effort to obtain a Judicial ascertainment of the facts concerning the boundary, Mr. Cleveland asked congress to create an American commission to go to Venezuela, determine the correct boun dary line and thus give a basis upon which this government could build Its case In support of tho Monroe doctrine. In that message Mr. Cleveland said: Be Good or right. "When such a report (that from the American commission) is made and ac cepted. It will, in mv opinion, be the duty of the I'nlted Slates to resist bv every means In Its power, ns a wilful aggression upon lis rights and Interests, the appropriation by Great Britain of any lands or the exercise of govern meiAal Jurisdiction over any territory, which, after Investigation, we have de termined of right belongs to Venezuela. "In making these recommendations I am fully alive to the responsibility in curred, and keenly realize all the conse quences that may follow. There Is no calamity which a great nation can Invite which equals that which follows a supine submission to wrong and in justice, and tho consequent loss of na tional self-respect and honor, beneath which are shielded and defended a peo ple's safely and greatness." Monro Doctrine Established. That message meant that one of two things would happen there would be a war with England, or England would back down from Its position. The war scare sent stocks a-tumbling In Wall street and tha Anglophiles raved against Mr. iieveiana. But congress supported htm and passed the law appointing the commission, and the people of tho coun try at large shouted their approval of his firm stand. Lord Salisbury and tha British government came down from their high horse, the British lion slunk away with Its much twisted tall between Its legs and England agreed to arbitrate me Doundary dispute. England got most of the terrltorv It claimed In the final outcome, trat It got it by a Judicial decree and not by forco of arms. From the day that Mr. Cleveland sent that message to congress the nations of Europe have looked upon the United States In a different light. The Monroe doctrine, which Is the foremost posi tive feature of our foreign policy. Is no longer a toy with which we are gra ciously permitted to amuse ourselves; but it Is an accepted factor In Interna tional polity which commands the re- TO SETTLE DISPUTE BY FJUEXDLY SITT (Special Dispatch to The Journal 1 Eugene.
