THE GOSSIP OF WASHINGTON
There is considerable concern
manifested among mcnibeis
of the Cabinet and c ;. other
i prominent officials in Washington
regarding the extent and the em
phasis ith which the President, in
his western speeches, is dwelling
upon the Monroe Doctrine. It is
believed in the East that the Mon
roe Doctrine is most expensive to
maintain and brings with it no ade
quate return. It has been pointed
out that whenever a European na
tion secures control of a colony the
commercial status of the newly ac-
l quired territory becomes fixed, the
: demand for foreign goods increases
1 and the United States secures its
! share of the commerce. In South
j America, however, the integrity ot
numerous petty governments is pio
' served by the United States and the
lesult is that these little countries
arc constantly at war, that they
! repudiate their commercial obliga
! lions without hesitation and to the
serious loss of every American busi
nessman who attempts to deal with
them, and that even when the Unit
ed States 1 as a favor to ask, a iu
the case of the Panama canal, it
receives even less consideration than
is accorded European nations. Un
der these circumstances the officials
refer ted to regard it as ill-advised
(or the President to dwell withsuch
marked emphasis upon the subject.
The facts are, ol course, that Mr.
Roosevelt is afraid to discuss the
tariff because ol the factional differ
ences on that subject in his own
party, is unwilling to discuss tru ts
and monopolies for lear of further
offending the Wall street interests
and fir.ds the Monroe Doctrine a
safe topic b jcause few people under
stand it and most regard it as a sort
of patriotic dutv to uphold it. In
cidentally, Mr. Roosevelt wants a
larger navy and the alleged iiegessi
ty of maintaining the Monroe Doc
trine furnishes an excuse for his
coveted "big stick."
It is learned on authority of a
member of the Cabinc-. that the
President and Senator Hanna have
made a trade whereby the fenner
will welcome as his running mate,
provided he secures the nomination,
Mr. Myron T. Uerrick whom Mr.
llanna is just now booming for
Governor ol Ohio. The Cabinet
officer alluded to was invited into
I the President's official family be
I cause of his political sagacity. He
says, "Colonel Uerrick is one oi
strongest possibilities for the sec
oud place on the ticket. It seems
now that the liklihood of his being
nominated will become much
stronger if he is triumphantly elect
ed eovernor of Ohio next fall.
Should his m jority lall far below
normal, however; his availability
will be seriously affected."
Secretary of State Hay is now
thoroughly convinced that there ' officials will be permitted tc resume '
was no foundation lor the reports ' his duties. In the case of Machen THE OLD Pi&.lSJlfZ-'LSC,
forwarded here last week by Mirr ; tuere appears to oe no -occasion tor
ister Conger at Pegin to the eflect i his office. There is now a supers
that the Russians had. occupied Niu ! intendent of city tree delivery and a
Chwang in Manchuria. It appears superintendent ot rural free deliv
that United Stales Consul Miller, at

treaty stipulations. Although it is
stoutly maintained at the S'ate and
assistant postmaster general which
he had labored to have himself aps

Mr. Swanson regards Senator Gor
