THE LEAGUE AND THE MONROE DOCTRINE. i T IS INTER KSTIXO to note how variously tlie Monroe Doctriue Criiti'iiiii'v whs ci'Miriiled ivccntly. Secretary of State Hughes cclehratcil the event by justifying his policy of detached activity toward Europe, while the Portland Jour nal celebrated the same event yesterday by calling ju the Monroe Doc trine to support the League of Nations. . AVe' admire the Portland Joiinal for its consisteut persistency re garding the Wilson covenant, but in this particular instance, we fear Secretary Hughes has the better of the argument. If one will review the history of the Monroe Doctrine it will be found that it was in reality nothing new and startling, at the time of its promulgation but was merely a continuation of the policy of Washington to steer clear of European entanglements. Jefferson really launched the Monroe Doctrine in American poli ties when he said : "Our first nnd fundamental maxim should bo never to entanslo oursolves in tho broils of Europe; our second never to suffer Eu ropo to inter-mcddle with CU-Atlantic affairs." President Monroe and Secretary of State Adams merely carried this reasoning to its logical conclusions when they told the Holy Al liance to keep out of South America, and told Russia to keep out of the Nortli American continent. "You keep out of our back yard mid we will keep out of yours." That, in simple parlance, was the meaning of the Monroe doctrine then, and is its meaning, with slight modifications, today.

It Is a man's game even for men who have fairly attained their growth and development It Is a very strenuous game for which the play er must be trained with nice scientific care lest he suffer serious or perma nent physical dam age. To permit lads in their 'teens to at tempt to play foot ball, to pretend to "train" them in handful of boys who play football. Football has never shown Itself a very valuable game so far as the phy sical development of the player is con cerned. Indeed, the premature shock ing fatality which overtakes now this, now that great football star a few years ago makes one wonder whether the game is worth the candle, even for college men. Probably overstrain of the heart has something to do with the untimely deaths of former athletes. Ordinary acute dilation of the heart which occurs when an athlete loses season counted by his wind and collapses at the finieh days rather t h a n 1 or near the finish of a supreme effort, weeks and months clears up completely in a few hours Is an abuse of athletics which no one or a day or two, but sometimes the interested in physical education strain is so severe that complete re- should countenance. covery never does take place; the vie- There Is a condition or state which tim lives . the remainder of his life suoli a policy, for it would be based upon the assumption that Europe thlct(t ca taicness. brought about with a handicapped heart which is 1 ' 1 1 1 by over exertion, by exorcise of any not a good heart to withstand the would have a right to take an active part in our affairs and we would kind carried to excess before the Indl- overload of such an emergency as i 1 . - , , . . 4ll. . . - vmuai nas oeen sufficiently, trained pneumonia, xor instance. have a right, in fact a duty, to take an active part in the affairs of for endurance. staionoss is a mani-1 Europe, . .

Not once a week or month, I say, but ten or fifteen times a day. And friends of hers will call me up, when I sit down to dine or sup, and whis per in a honeyed tone, "Please call Dame Jimpson to the phone." Dame Jimpson lives across the street, and there I go on weary feet to tell her that some locoed jay would talk her arm off right away. I always mutter when I start, "This phoning business breaks my heart j I'll have to tell this nervy dame it is no way to play the game." Hut when she sheds her beaming smile, so glad and bright and free from guile, a smile that has a wide renown, I cannot bear to call her down. Dame Jimpson 's living every where; she is her neighbor's despair. Some day perhaps she'll realize that it is neither safe nor wise to sponge on folks who have a phone, nnd she will get one of her own. THE UNITED States . .
