THE MONROE DOCTRINE IT is an unusual pare of news which does not contain some reference to the "Monroe doc trine." Tho volumes have been written about it. the essence of this important principle of \meri can policy can be condensed in a few paragraphs. It begins as far back as the famous farewell address of Washington which was delivered in September. t796. Washington then announced as a fundamental principle of American foreign pol icy that this country will refrain from meddling in the political affairs of Europe. The converse of this—that the United States will not tolerate intervention in \merican affairs on the part of European nations—was made the second principle by President Monroe in his cele brated message to congress, December 2, tX2*. This message was called out by the probability that the "holy alliance," a league of four Euro pean powers, would endeavor to control the Spanish countries of South America. "America for Americans" is the gist of the Monroe doctrine. As President Monroe laid them down, the two principles read: First, "that the American continents, by the free and independent condition which they have assumed and maintain, are hence forth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European powers." Second, referring to the Spanish-American states which had achieved their independence, that "we could not view any interposition for the purpose of oppressing them or controlling in any other manner their destiny, by any European power, in any other light than as the manifesta CYNTHIA GREY'S LETTERS AND ANSWERS Q.—l am a girt 1t and I am alt alone.

SEATTLE WANTS SURE WATER rp HE STAR will leave it to the engineers as to what materials should be used in the con struction of conduits that will insure Seattle's water supply. Rut there is no doubt that swift, sure action should be taken. The fact that the city council six months ago authorized surveys and plans for some sort of construction that would insure permanent supply is not enough to satisfy thinking tax payers. What they want to know is—when? The people want plenty of water. They want sure water. The men at the city hall should not let a spirit of listlessness dominate in the matter of giv ing Seattle water. Intelligent action is not the only demand of the hour. The element of speed is vital.

But as It Is, all you have to do is to get a permit and aend to the drug store and presto—easy, sln't It? Why don't some of these sleepy headed people sit up and take no tice that the atate will not be dry until they forbid any liquor within Its boundsriss? Spesking of the red light district, it wss msn who Instituted It. A man will meet an Innocent girl, perhaps from the country, one who does not know the ways of the city. The next thing she knows she is csst sslde for snother victim. What becomea of her—perhaps suicide; but more likely a woman of the streets. More than once I have read letters from men In your col umn ssklng, "I do not know whsthsr to marry this girl or not, for I do not know whether she Is s good, pure girl—a fit monther for my children.
