In an ojien letter to President Roose- volt. Jo.^eph I‘ulitzer, editor of the New York World, tells: the chi«f e.veoutlve tUut he is playing a dimy;eroiis gauie. lie sjiys in piirt: “Mr. Pre.sident, your record on April 2. l'.X)2, was a speech at (’hicago, since fum*)us as the tirst appearance of the ‘big stick' in our national policy: “I l)olleve in the Monroe doctrine with all my lu-art and soul; I am convinced that the immen.se majority of our fi-llow coun trymen so believe in it, but I would in finitely rather see us abandon it than to see us put it forv.'ard and bluster about It and yet fail to build up the eflicic-nt lighting strength which in the last resort can alone make It respected by any strong foreign power w’ho.se Inti-rest It m.'iy e^*er happen to be to violate it. • • • There Its a homely old adage which runs. ‘Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.’ If the American na tion will speak softly and yet build and , keep at a pitch of the highest training a thoroughly eflicient navy the Monroe doctrine will go far. “Whatever your own motives, wheth er those of the honest fanatic or of the crafty political calculator, you are play ing with tire all the time, playing with Are to dazzle the imaginations of the unthinking. “The assurance with which you, Mr. President, born in 185S, assmiie to iiave di.scovered the United States and its policies is even more astounding than tlie policies tliemselves. You tell ua that the Monroe doctrine will be an object of derision unles.s we have a ndghty navy. The Monroe doctrine was thirty-hve years old when you were born, and doing remarkably well, as It has been ever since. “Yon tell us that under your leader ship we have Just become a ‘world pow«»r.’ V\’h;it were we—pardon the persennl Ilhistration—more than si gen- enition befon* yon were born. when, witli only K».ofM'),0<i0 people and Insig- niiicaiit aruiainents, we flung the Mon roe doctrine into the teeth of the holy alliaix'p*:' “Co'.islderlnrf your hitelligence and your kno'.vU'dge of American history, your atii’nde soems a mystery. ^Vhat can b»- Its explanation? “Vv’Iiat can be the purpose of all thTrse shrieks for a mighty army and :n:v . these frenzied denunciations of ■cow :i:-.is.' ‘weaklings’ and ‘cravens.’ w!io sordidly min<i their own busine.ss Instead of flying to arms, witli no dis cernible provocation; these frantic wav- ings of the mailed list In the faces of the nations?

We ought to lay down twice our present number of battleships at once. We ouglit to have a rough riding military dictator. “Knt^if this policy be preposterously absurd^ you are discredited along with it. I am not speaking to Democrats— this is not a party matter. Your schemes are personal, not partisan. Your boasted Americanism Is really Enropeanlsm. It is the very antithesis of the true American spirit. You are proposing to Europeanii:e our institu tions. Not content with the extraordi nary increase in the powers and pat ronage of the president of the Uniteti States, you propose to become practi cally the president of the whole west ern hemispliere. The accidental head of one republic, yon would make your self the head of twenty-one. “What Is Imperialism? It is not mere external show, thrones or crowns or scepter.3. It is the spirit of coer cion, of coBqnest, of arbitrary power, of war, of national aggrandizemeiitt of % —Brooklyn Eagle. ODDEST VACCINATION CASE. Little Girl Carried the Vlrng Latent for Two Years—Then It Took. The remarkable case of a small girl whose vaccinati<;n took after two years’delay should be some consolation to thos;e who have got it over quickly. 'Ihe <’a.se has been reported to one of the medical jouinais by the child’s physician and is* recf)rdetl as being pr()i)ably without precetient in medical science, .says the ^>e\v York .^un. 1 he chihi was vaccinated when she was (Hily six months old and with very flight success. Nothing was thought about that until a few weeks ago, and two year* after the oritrinai vaccina- tiitn 5-he had an attack of scarlet fever with coniplicati<jns winch ]>uzzled the family doctor. The f>ld vaccination marks .seemed to wake up again. Inquiry revea!e<l that the little girl h.ad not been i‘«‘\accinated, though all the .«ym])ti)ms miglit have indicated that she had. Other physicians were called in and watched the case. When the child's recovery was cer tain they agreed that the one explana tion feasible was that the vaccination had remained latent in the child’s .cysteni for two years and that the fe ver had started it afresh. COUGARS FIGHT LIKE CATS. milltjiry self seeking, of jingo exploita tion abroad among weaker peoples, mletl with no regard for equal right, in colonies and remote d<‘pendencies. “To see imperialism full blown one must go to England. At home Eng lish institutions are free. The cabinet is a committee of parliament. The king has not a thousandth part of your i)ower and patronage. lie could not jump a (i(K‘tor. even a very skillful and jigreeuble ont'—not even Treves, who saved his life—into a major gen eralship or even a lieutenancy, lie cannot npi>oint fourth class post master. lie has none of the enormous powers over corporations which emil»le you. first, to make an iiniuisition into the secr«.‘t.s <*f every cond)ination of capital: second, to smash one such conjbination as an example, and, third, to send that grand in<iuisitor, Cortel- you, \\ ho was your own private secre tary and later cabinet meml»er for commerce :ind corporations, armed with all his deadly secrets, to j>.iss the contnbution box among the otJiers. “The members of your cabinet are your clerks. n;)t your masters. Yoti yourself :ire tl:e actual head of the governmejit, the actual commander in chief of the army and navy, the framer of policies, the dispenser of I)atronage and the arbiter of peace oi. war. You appoint or control, di;'ectly or indirectly, ‘JlJO.OOO olliceholders. most of whom hold their places jst your pl(‘asure. You n.-inu* the judges who interi)ret the very laws y«(U treat with contempt or flagrantly violate. Y"ou dictate to congress what meas ures it shall pa.'is and what it shall kill. You would be a very f;reat po- tent.-ite even if you ol)served the con stitutional limitations of your olfice I’robably you exercise more actual personal power than any monarch on the glol)C. “The king of England by compari son is merely a fashion plate. “With our own vast continent to be develo])ed, with i)olitical and business coiTuption gnawing at our national life, with tlie gravest social and polit ical internal jiroblems pressing fc>r so- hition. with the foundations of the con- .?titution tmdermi’.ied by lawless un ions on one side and lawless trusts on the other, with law and order and pi*os- perity threatened by labor wars, with the yeast of so<'ialisni and anarchy fer menting in the public mind, with (XX) negroes to be educated and titled into some sort of tolerable living rela tions with their white ueight)ors, yon projiose to divert the nation's thought and energy from the duties that crowd upon it ht home to a career of rowdy adventure abroad.” House a man whose thoughts tend to ward peace rather than to war. a man who believes that our nation should be admired for its moral grandeur rather tiian excite fear by the nundier of its soldi<*rs or the size of Its guns, and this is rea.son enough why 1 should support him.” Addre.ssing himself directly to silver r>emocrats, Mr. Bryan reminded them tl’.at Judge I’arker had voted ft>r him when the restoration of bimetallism j was the paramount Issue. “If he could I vote f(»r me when the money question ; was paramount,” said Mr, Bryan, “I t cs'.n vote for Inm when we are con- j front(*d with anotlK'r and greater issue j th.'in the mone.v cpiest'oH.” j Tficre is nothing equivocal in this. Bryan Democrats will find no encour- agei:M>:it in it to sulk or bolt the ticket. ' i nu'.n who has faith in the former i leader .•:iul d<‘sir(*.-! now to follow him can be at a loss to knov,' what path to I take. I ' It is the “greater issue” that Mr. Bryan sees. lie confesses no change In ' his views on economic (luestions. But ' he insists that these are in abej'ance while an issue involving tlie very e.\- istence of the constitution and Ameri- c;:n liberty is being decided. “Judge Parker believes in the gold standard,” he says, “I believe in bimetallism, but I can vote for him in order that through him the country may rid itself of an imperi.'il itolicy.” No Bryan Democrat who believes in Mr. Bryan's sincerity c;.u mlst..ke his attitude to the pany ami the caiuli- date. He supports Judge Parker be cause Parker en.h'xilts the “gre:iler isstie,” in comparison with which all other issues l-ecome Insigniticant. Tlie doubts of silver Democrats shotild evaporate in the w;;rmih of Mr. Bry an's patriotic devotion to a Parker and peace policy.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
