Set AGAINST MONROE DOCTRtNE. lerlln Author Says Conditions Which Gave Rise to It No Longer Exist. Berlin, April CG. Profc.-scr Mucns erberg has written a two volume took, "The Americans," which a Ber in publisher will briiiR out next veek. The newspapers print extracts torn it. In a chapter on the Monroe doctrlno lie author says he thinks the timo is tear when the absurdity of the doc rlne will bo seen and the rejectioa if it will proceed as rapidly as tho idoption of imperialism by the masses if the people proceeded, "for a nation tan not permanently run counter to Its Ugliest interests for the sake of ca rrice." The professor argues that the con lltions no longer exist which gave rise o the doctrine, namely, the contrast letween Europe as the land of tyran ly and America as that of democratic reedom. Americans know that the Vest European nations have popular epresentatlon, while they know still letter that the Latin American republ ics, except Argentina, Chili and Mex co, are most repulsive caricatures of iberty and democracy. "Americans no longer feel them lelves called on to protect blackmail ng South American republics from the nvasion of the European political sys :em. "Furthermore the second original irgument for the doctrine, namely, the jolltical safety of the United States: o longer exists. On the contrary, su-. erstitions adherence thereto is one; if the most dangerous factors for the. United States' peace. European colo- lies In South America would cause as Ittle trouble for the United States as .he colonies in Africa." Professor Muensterberg says the loctrine has grown hollow and that .he best Interests of the United States lemand Its abandonment so far as south America Is concerned. He idds: "The United States' Interests de mand the rapid development of that jontlnent, for the promotion of Amerl :an export trade. The maintenance J the doctrine there will only protract ts wretched economic impotence, ilnce the politicians of thoso countries tnow that Europe can undertake lothing against them so long as the Washington government protects ;hem. If the United States continues assert the doctrine it cannot escape ,he reproach of promoting anarchy ind hindering the progress of one of ;he richest continents. "The above arguments apply only to South America. The canal gives the United States real Interests in Central merica. "However, Europe must for the pres ent continue the policy of hands off till :he doctrine dies a natural death in the American mind." Governor Confers With Senator. AVashington, April 20.

One of the few men who have over managed to get ahead of I'ncle Bus sell Sage In a business transact or is a young enrb broker named Tucker, and he did so more by accident than design. It happened this way: Tucker had ten shares of gas stock that lie was trying hard to dispose, of, with no result. Finally, one of his ac quaintances, In a Bplrit of fun, said to him: "Say, old man, I understand that Sage wants that stock bad, and ia willing to pay Do for It." At that time the stock was selling for HI, when it sold at all, so naturally Tucker, who was a newcomer on the curb, started on" post haste for Mr. Sage's otlice, and half an hour later offered his shares In person at 05. "Don't want It, young man," was the financier's reply. "I can go out nnd buy all I want at ill." Then, as he realized that he bad been "taken in," an Idea struck Tu -Iter. "Mr. Sage," he said, "since you don't want to buy my stock, maybe you'd like to sell mo any of tho sa;no stock you may own at !Kt." "F.h. what?" queried Mr. Sago ''Ninety-three?" He pondered for a moment. Then, ".I'll take your ten shares at n.'i," he said. And tho sale was made. A little later on when Mr. Sage found that ho really could have bought all the stock lie wanted at 01 his feolinss were nnvthlng but frail ly toward Mr. Tucker. The next d l , however, he was in a different I'r-me of mind. "Any man," he said, "who can tako care of hinnelf 1 ko tnat Is useful, and I want Mr. Tucker to w atch out for any bus!ncs 1 may ht.ve on the curb " And that Is what Mr. Tucker Is do ing to-day.

Suddenly two .confidence men emerg ed from the crowd and approaches' the unsophisticated one. "Hello, Jones!" cried one. "I ain't Jones," responded the farm er. "Smith, then?" asked the other. "I ain't Smith, either," he replied. The confidence men stood there un easily wondering whether this man was on to them. The farmer Impa tiently shuftled his feet. "Ask me who I nm," he suggested, mildly. They did so. "I'm Solomon's son," replied the farmer, with gusto, "and my father sent me to find two of his jackasses that had strayed, and here I've found 'em both right away." Again the confidence men panned uneasily. Again the farmer impa tiently shuflled his feet. "Why don't yon ask me what I'll have to drink?" demanded he, with a righteous show of Indignation.
