The wish Is lather to the thought. lTp to this titup the Monroe' ' tloetrlno has not heen fi-raiched. And the probahllltlts are I hat lor tfce'prfiseiit it will, not be.oveiv Htfcppeil, ccrtTiiiily not by Great B'rltainY whlcli woud have nothing to gain and mucli to itkJ.by chnllengins it, and in all likelihood not by Germany, whose navy is not yet sufficiently strong to think of trying conclusions with our own' in our own hemisphere and near our own bases oC supplies. What has happened is that a bunch of subordin ates has become just n. shade too eager anil too fresh In carrying on: the plans formulated at headquarters. This means that headquarters will accept this excess of zeal as far as it is.un challenge and repudiate it as far as it is objected to by the United States. The real peril of the Monroe doctrine is later on. With one or two exceptions, the so called republics of Central and South America are grotesque travesties on the American Idea of free republics. Order in them is not maintained. Justice is not free nor is it clean. The adminis tration of laws is conducted on the basis of favoritism and blackmail and as a lesult, natural resources go begging for development and the influx of foreign capital and immigration on a scale suf licient gradually to work out improved conditions Is discouraged and made im practicable. Whatever may be held in theory as to the right of the inhabi tants of a country to do within their own borders as the.v please without ref erence to outside interests ur conse quences, the fact is that civilization more and more is demanding of the great and intelligent powers of the I'arth that they exercise increasingly a kind of humane police supervision over the smaller and less developed powers and peoples, not alone for selfish pur poses but generally in the interest of the world's progress. As electricity i educes distance and knits together more close ly the threads of international com merce, philanthropy and politics, tills demand will Increapo. The United States within the past three years lias been swept far out into its current and the Venezuelan affair shows that It has by no means reached the maximum of its responsibilities. The immense empire of South Ameri ca, is one of the few remaining lurge pieces of international real estnte which has not been improved up to tlio pre vailing standard. Civilization is grow ing restless at the slowness with which it is improving from within, and more and more In the future we may expect that it will try to expedite that Im provement by means of pressure from without. The United States by virtue of the Monroo doctrine undertakes to limit the processes by which this out side pressure may be exerted. The con verse of this proposition cannot lie es caped. What we will not let other do wo must, if necessary, do ourselves. We cannot fence In one-half of the world's habitable terrltoty and my It shall not be made lit for enlightened human habitation. Klthor we must by ours-elves do what can lie done from without to make It fit or powers su perior will do it over our heads and despite our protest, This Is the lesson w lileif 'the present turmoil in Venezuela Is teaching to tlinsu who look below the surface and ahead.

Let us hope thai the physicians of Scranton who have taken the Initiative In this direction will be encouraged to pro ceed with a wholesale campaign or pub lic education, whlcli Is certainly needed. A half dozen young men at Washing ton have agreed to prove that adulter ated foods will not kill people by ex isting upon preserved stuff for a time. It Is to be hoped that this will not re open the embalmed beef controversy. r4ot Permanent. TUB LAST word of Alfred Moscly, the Kngllshmnu who came hero five weeks ago tit the head of n commission to study American industrial conditions, prior to taking ship for homo was a statement of protest against the level ing process characteristic of tlio trade union movement, though in his opinion not likely to be a permanent character istic "!y the leveling process is meant the restriction put upon individual initi ative and capacity so as to keep the good and enterprising workman down to it dead level with the Indifferent and incompetent worker. The present tend ency to hitch the hindmost to the fore most worker in the hope of establish ing a straight line of wage progrets Is defended on socialistic grounds by the argument that the good of the greatest number warrants inflicting some hard ship upon the few. But it has yet to be proved that holding good men back actually benellU the poorer workers; for, as President Eliot recently pointed out, the employer who has to pay n. poor worker more than lie is worth usually finds opportunity to displace that poor worker, who thereby is kept only spasmodically employed; whereas, if lie were to be nllowed by the unions to take employment at a wage fitted to his earning capacity his employment might be steady and he would not, In idleness, be a load upon or a menace to his fellow-workers. Furthermore, the effect upon the capable worker of habitually working below the level of his capacity and ambition is manifestly pernicious and vicious. No man who works half-heartedly can bo either a happy or a wholly honest man; the pride of the producer in his product disappears when the measure of that product Is not bis own unfettered abil ity but nn arbitrary limit imposed fioni without. But chlelly the argument by which the leveling ptocess Is defended falls to the ground because all human ex perience teaches that it lests upon a fallacious conception of the possibil ities of human nature. The parable of the talents Is Providence's direct refu tation of this fallacy. Men are not equal in capacity, and they cannot bo made equal or permanently contented on a basis of government which as sumes equality and denies to the owner of the exceptional talents the legiti mate increase which comes from their exercise. To him that hath shall be given, says Scripture, and It is not In the power of labor leaders, however honest, to extinguish the promptings of individual ambition in a country espe cially where the foremost men have themselves . worked up and taught by example that from the lowest to the highest ranks is simply the matter of developed ability. This must bo the reasoning by whlcli Alfred Mosely reaches the conclusion that the leveling tendency now char acteristic of the American trade union movement will not be a permanent characteristic. If so, it is correct. Nou) the Workshop of Ciuilizafion Special Correspondence Washington, Dec. IB. MAXl'l-'ACTlTtl-Jd now fun third of the exports in T'ultcd States, a larger pr m one rom tlio ro port Ion than In any preceding year. The Inures of tlio lluteau of Statistics for tlio ten months of the year for which data tiro now completed show that manufac tures formed during that period uJ.Cl per cent, of the total exports of the country, while the highest percentage in any pte cedlng fiscal year was that of WOO.

One feature of tho exportation of mini urnclures which is especially Inteiestlng and Impel taut is the huge proportion of ninnufiicltucH which linn n imuket In the elder manufacturing counttleH of the world. , A statement prepared by the Uu reau of Statistics shows that more than one-half of the mimuftioluiCM evpoikd from the rutted States now go lo Kit rope, the great manufacturing section ot thti world, and that about one-fourth of the total exports ol'i manufactures go to North America, the other fourth being nliout equally "distributed between South Aniptlcn, Ala, Ocennicii and Africa.
