hardly been recovered at the defeat ot the ImmorUI Bryan In Nebraaka, when the German reply was announc¬ ed. Now comes "a Declaration of Independence" from the Herald, the Bugle Call of Democracy in Rockville Centre. "No longer will The Herald be influenced by Individuals, political parties or the Integral parts thereof." But the fracture Is not exactly com¬ plete. A sort of umbilical relation¬ ship will be maintained in "the belief that the principals [sic] of Democ¬ racy as established by Thomas Jef¬ ferson are best for the counlry." Alas that those "principals" are long since mouldering in the lomu and knowl¬ edge of the fact has not yet penetrat¬ ed the Centre. That posterity shall not be robbed of the privilege of sol¬ emnly observing the dale of this new Declaration with firewater and such, let it be etated that It was given to thlH world on May 5, 19 IG. a Black Friday which will indeed be Indelibly impressed upon the memory of R.

II is reported that a general tie-up of bank direclors is imminent on the South Shore, all because Congress¬ man George W, Loft persuaded the directors of the F'irst National of R. V. C. to increase their meeting fees lo $25.00. This is an unheard of stipend, the fee hereabouts for meet¬ ing and joshing one another about the weather, crops, loans, etc., be¬ ing as low as flve dollars and the highest ten dollars. Unrest Is said to prevail among directors aud offlcers in consequence. The high price of bread due lo the European war, the
That Monroe Doctrine. —F'rom the Arctic to the Antarctic is a mighty span, and If President -Monroe could have foreseen that stretch of it from Darien Isthmus lo Magellan's Straits peopled as It is today, doubtless he would have hesitated to issue to the world the challenge contained in his famous "Monroe Doctrine," As the world stands loday, ils dare might better have been restricted to the American Continent belween the North Pole and Darien. Far seeing clllzens detect danger In any atiempt of the future to enforce it beyond the Panama Canal. The fale of the Fili¬ pino is sufflciently disturbing to this country witliout taking over that of the Patagonian. The possibility of tlie abandonment of the Monroe Doc¬ trine is thus hinted at hy Eiiliu Root, in his recent address to the Interna¬ tional Society of International Laws:
"Whether the Fnited Slates will soon have occasion or will long have the abilily or the will to maintain the Monroe Doctrine lies in the uncertain future. Whether il will be necessary for them to act in defense of the doc¬ trine or abandon it may well be de¬ termined by till' issue of the present war. The right of each nation to con¬ duct its own internal affairs accord¬ ing to its own ideas is the essence of liberty. It is not uncommon that the be.st impulses and sentiments of our own people are enlisted in favor of action by our Government which would do infinitely more harm than good, by breaking down the barrier which the principle of tlie independ¬ ent equality of States presents against the evils of foreign domination,"
Americans may as well put their flunking caps on NOW,
