ATHENS, GA, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1913. THE MONROE DOCTRINE A LIVE ISSUE. In a leading editorial The Savannah Press acclaims the Mon roe Doctrine—in so far as it is upheld in America—as “still a live wire.” To many Americans the assumption which this doctrine con. tains appears hut weak and hraggadocial in the light of our ac quisitions in the Par East, hut Europe’s evident willingness to leave the Mexican situation in Uncle Sam’s hands has given the doctrine a fresh flush of vitality. Our position, as expressed by the Monroe Doctrine is to many honest minded citizens, illogical and untenable so long as we hold colonial possessions in Asia. It resolves itself to a question merely of how long foreign powers will refrain from calling our bluff. In this mutter of the Mexican mix up the powers of Europe are glad enough to fall in with the Wilson policy based as it is upon upholding law and discountenancing the triumph of treachery and murder, hut this does not mean that the Monroe Doctrine is feared by Europe. The editorial in The Press to abrogate it is made “A wave of Americanism rolls over the land and asserts itself in no uncertain way.” The Tress goes on to say: i ii’To is an idea deep down in the public understanding that tie de is.ne of iiie protection of the Western hamisphere from foreign conquest and colonization is sound, and that the United States s.iottlil ..Eli say to outsiders that Central America and South .(j America are no more lo be trenched upon than North America. A Of course this, doctrine will hold as long as we can assert it. "It will always require a strong army and navy to uphold it. For the rest, it will be necessary to convince the world that the doctrine lias some basis in right and that our people are united in upholding it.” Not, however, until this “Wave of Americanism” takes the practical phase of backing up the assumption of the Monroe Doc- trine with land and sea forces and also takes some definite steps shunt retiring from the East, can,we really give the doctrine heart w hole and sincere faith. 11 is all very well for (his nation to tell the others they cannot piny in our yard, so long as we do not set outjto play in theirs, blit the greatest challenge the Monroe Doctrine gets is from home, it is challenged by our small navy, by our inadequate army and by our imperialistic policy in another continent. ♦■♦■♦■♦■♦■♦■♦■♦■♦■♦■♦■♦■♦■♦■♦a !

When Jennie saw her former girl friend at the office next morning the *lri scowled at her, and when she fcot a chance biased in Jennie’s ear: get even with yon It it's the last thing In the world I ever do.” Poor little Jecmle wanted to tell her ‘that It wa*_ not her fault that the g*rf» fellow acted so the night before end wanted JemUe Instead of the gtrl. !But she wouW not listen to Jennie, only to swear at her and call her a ■HE IS MINE!* Jennie could do nothing but think about it all day, and received a se vere “call down” from the boss In which he said he bad noticed for sev-‘ er&l days past that her mind had not been on her work and that she would have to pay stricter attention or be would get some one that would. Jennie noticed several times during the day that the tears were stream ing down the girl's cheeks as she bent over her work. So after work Jennie waited outside and wanted to explain to the girl that tt w*/» not her fault the way the fBOow acted. The girl backed away from her and said: “Tou little fool, don’t you know he is all I have in the world, and if I lose him I will have to *welk the streets,’ for I can’t and won’t TUT to live on the money I get in the office.

Wilkins, fres. T. P. Vincent.V-Pres. W. P. Brooks, Cashier A BOOMERANG ADVERTISEMENT. An argument in favor of patronizing home industry is to be found in one of the farm journals—an advertisement of one of the largest mail order houses in Chicago. The advertisement is em. oellislied with a picture of the plant of the big mail order concern, mid the caption is, “The House That You Built.” Here, in five vords, is the best possible demonstration of the evil of buying from mail order houses, from the standpoint of the farmer or any- jne else who is interested in building up his own community. The home merchant can back up his own arguments on this score by pointing out that the resident of Athens or Clarke county s ho sends money away from home is consciously enabling (big buildings and expensive plants to be maintained hundreds of miles »way. There is no getting away from it; the mail order house says so itself. This step by this mail order house seems to be far in advance >f anything ever done in an advertising way by such concerns. The advertisement is well equipped with "backfire.” It goes ta farmers and as they gaze upon it and realize that the “dollars earned by the sweat of their brows” have gone to help build ug, this monster structure, when they should have stayed at home to help lower their taxes, they will not be unduly influenced to; send a great many more dollars to the Chicago mail order house. The December Woman's Home Com. panion. The December Woman’s Home Com* panion is a highly interesting Christ- mas^jiumber—and particulfly beauti ful because of its unusual art fea- i unes. It also includes a number of ontributions which give invaluable information as to how to make vari- kinds of Christmas presents and how to give various kinds of Christ mas entertainments. Among the important articles in the number are: “Thy Joy of Looking Ahead,” by Charles E. Jefferson, pas- tor of the Broadway Tabernacle in New York City: “The Small Town and ItgftHosjJital” by Charlotte A. Aikens; “Money Making from Music” by Anna Steese Richardson; “The World’s Greatest Paintings” by Laura Spencer Portor; “The Hostess and Her Guests” by Christine Terhune Herrick and a HOW A WOMAN HELPED TO ELECT A MAYOR. Mayor Blankenburg,-of Philadelphia, declares the woman and children of that city elected him, and he tells this story: ■'At one of the ward meetings held in a factory district where Mr. Blankenburg’s opponent was in the ascendency, a woman rose in the audience. She was a poorly dressed, frail creature, and the men assembled stared, as she began to speak. It was a pitiful story of a haunted soul struggling in the toils of that fiend in human form, the loan shark. Tighter and tighter the net had wound until at last everything had gone'and life seemed not worth the struggle. Then had come to her help, unexpected, unsought. Out of her despair she had been lifted, freed from the persecu. tion that had hunted her down, sent on her way with new courage. The man who had done this was Rudolph Blankenburg, With tears streaming down her cheeks she asked their votes for him, this man who had saved her and thousands like her. The oppo sition let the speech remain unanswered. “He is a big man, thi3 clean, wholesome, loveable German, fathering the children, playing with all his might, and working with alt his might as well, at seventy, tt.rk>in g one of the most difficult tasks that America offers,** 'Cake Party for Christmas Week” by Fannie Merritt Farmer.
