DON’T FORGET TO VOTE.
_
The day draws near. After the noise j
of different opinions is hushed and
the maelstrom of political ideas has
ceased, we shall arrive at the time
when the opportunity will be accorded
us of settling the different questions
relative to the candidates and the
policies they represent. There prob
ably has never been a time in the
history of Valdez when so much will
be at stake as there will be on April
7th. The future of Greater Valdez
is before us. Certain laws legislated
by the national government relative
to the building of a railroad in Alas
ka make it imperative that we return
to the city council and school board
only those men who'are properly qual
ified to lill the respective positions,
and will make our city and schools
the best in Southwestern Alaska.
Neglect on our part to vote on elec
tion day would be disastrous to our
best interests. Vote—by all means
vote—but vote for Valdez: for men
that will represent the best interests
of the town: for men who are exper
ienced; for men in whom you have
confidence, and you will at least have
the satisfaction of knowing that you
have done your duty as one who be- ■
lieves in the possibilities of a Greater j
Valdez.
Stop look listen then vote.
MONROE DOCTRINE, NEW AND
OLD.
The New York World is going to
great pains to show that Kngland
could go into Mexico and demand sat
isfaction for Menton’s death and for
any other wrongs committed against
British citizens without in any man
ner interfering witti the Monroe doc
trine. The World, after explaining
whai the Monroe doctrine is. give*
the negative side as follows:
"It does not establish a protector
ate. It does not relieve Latin Amer
ica of responsibility to foreign pow
ers. It does not shield any country
that murders or despoils foreigners
or ",s otherwise in the wrong. It does
not prevent the use of force by Ku
ropean nations against delinquents.”
The trouble with the World’s con
tention is that the Monroe doctrine
is simply a doctrine, not a law of
treaty that could be interpreted by
a competent legal tribunal. The Mon
roe doctrine is a declaration of pol
icy and, like the present Sherman act,
practically represents the thought and
views of the official charged with its
enforcement. The doctrine as enunci
ated by President Monroe simply
prohibited foreign nations from ac
quiring territory on this continent.
Had there been no interpretation of
the doctrine. The World’s conten
Pons abu .1 in.- right of foreign na
tions to iiilertere in Mexico .1: this
time would be unquestioned, bill we
have been changing ihe Monroe doc
trine.
President Cleveland came, near get
ting us into trouble with Great Brit
ain in the Venezuelan controversy by
interpreting the Monroe doctrine to
mean that the United States should
take charge of affairs in Venezuela,
•or at least prevent Great Britain from
taking the ease into her own hands.
President Roosevelt, when he sent
American gunboats to take charge of
the customs houses in Santo Domin
go and 'became responsible for the
payment of that country's debts to
foreign bowe'rs, also gave another in
terpretation of the Monroe doctrine.
In Mexico today, it appears to be
taken for granted that the duty of
protecting the lives and property of
Europeans rests with the United
States because we Will not allow the
European nations to look out for their)
own.
The Monroe doctrine of today is a
very different doctrine from that laid
down in 1802. The foreign nations
apparently are glad enough to have,
the United tSates assume all the re-'
sponsibility under it. It might be bet
ter for us if .we could return to the,
simple doctrine declared by President
Monroe, but that seems to be out of j
the question. Until there is some
complete reversion of recent policies,
we will have to remain as the police
man and bad debt collector of the
western hemisphere— K».

MUNICIPAL UNDERTAKER TO
FIGHT "HIGH DYING’- COSTS
('LKVKLAND, O., March 30.--The j
high cost of dying !s threatened with
extermination if Cleveland’s latest !
municipal move becomes a reality. It .
is a municipal undertaker. I.aw Di
rector Stockwell is advocating the
project. It is not the rich he hopes
to aid. He desires to protect the poor
from excessive funeral charges and
believes a city undertaker is the only i
solution of the problem.
“in many cases funeral expenses are
twice the amount they should be,”
says Stoekwelll. “The persons who
need the services of an undertaker,
particularly the poor, are at the mercy
of the undertakers. The city should
furnish protection to the public by
standing ready to conduct funerals at
figures approximately the actual cost.”
If casket makers and dealers in
undertakers' supplies ally themselves
with the undertakers to balk the plan,
Stockwell would have the city make
its own supplies at the Warrensville
city farm.
That Muckluck Story.
Blood- chilling accounts of how
Bishop Stringer ate his muckluCks
are now being published in England,
where the bishop is endeavoring, with
good chance for uccess, to raise $50,
000 for the furtherance of his work
in Yukon. His experience is men
tioned as paralleling that of Captain
Scott, of south pole memory.
