Some Progress Made Every law-abiding citizen of this city will or has approved the activity of the sheriff's office in cleaning up the liquor offenders and the dope peddlers stuck around in the odd places of the city. More power to the sheriff's arm. There have been enough of the ragtag and bobtail of these cepts of justice, charity, and peace; and to this end the allfed monarchs, ‘looking upon them- selves as delegated by Providence’ to rule their respective countries, engaged to ‘lend one anoth- er, on every occasion and in every place, assist- ance, aid and support.’ In the course of time. as revolt against the arrangements of the treaty of Vienna became more widespread and more pronounced, the alliance ceased to wear its or- iginally benevolent aspect and came more and |more io assume the form of a league for the {protection of the principle of legitimacy—the fhe Casper Sunday Cribune | but’ Monroe assumed the responsibility and for him it is properly named. Most of us are familiar with the wording.of | the Monroe Doctrine. All of us should be. It| is quite brief an d should be as indelibly fixed in the minds of Americans as Washington's fare well address, which it reaffirms in principle.) Of it Amilo Mitre, son of ene of the founding fathers of Argentina, and himself a statesman of ability has said: “The American president in formulating this doctrine decreed peace between Europe and America which seemed destined, the former to assanlt always for conquest, the latter to fight always to defend its frontiers. In short, the Mon- roe Doctrine has been the veto on war between Surope and America. In its shadow these youth- ful nations have grown until today they are suf- ficiently strong to proclaim the same doctrine as the emblem of their shield —‘America for Americans’ is a formula, as I understand it, which meant the final consecration of the in- dependence of the American nations.” In addition to opposing the extension of the European political system to the western hemis- phere the doctrine declares that the American continents “are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by «1y Euro- pean powers.” The doctrine has exercised a permanent influ- ence on this continent. Said Secretary of State Fish in 1870: “It was at once invoked in conse- quence of the supposed peril of Cuba on the side of Europe; it was applied to a similar danger threatening Yucatan; it was embodicd in the treaty of the United States and Great Britain as to Central America; it produced the success- ful opposition of the United States to the at- tempt of Great Britain to exercise dominion in Nicaragua under the cover of the Mosquito Indians; and it operated in like manner to pre- vent the establishment of a European dynasty inMexieo.” It has been frequently invoked since Fish’s day, tween Veneznela and Great Britain, when Clere- land staunchly upheld the doctrine, aud again in 19023 when Roosevelt, while firmly support- ing the doctrine, permitted the- settlement of claims against Venezuela held by Great Britain Germany, Italy, and other European powers. The nearest the doctrine ever came to being shat- tered was when France undertook to set up an empire in Mexico while we were engaged in the Civil War, and Seward routed France out of Mexico as soon as the war was over for the army was ready. The second narrow escape of the doctrine was when Mr. Wilson attempted to have it dismised as a “regional understanding” in the second draft of the league of nations coy- enant, having previously repudiated it in the first draft. The United States senate rescued the doctrine on both occasions. In a recent address before the American Bar association Secretary Hughes declared, first, “the Monroe Doctrine is not a policy of aggres- sion, it is a policy of self-defense,” second “the government of the United States reserves to it- self its definition, interpretation, and applica- tion;” third, “the policy does not infringe upon the independence and sovereignty of other Amer- ican states—-the Monroe Doctrine does “not at tempt to establish. a protectorate over latin American states;” fourth, “so far as the region of the Caribbean Sea is concerned, it may be said that if we had no Monroe Doctrine we should have to create one,’ and finally “it should be observed that the Monroe Doctrine i« not an obstacle to a wider international co-op- eration, beyond the limits of Pan American aims and interests, whenever that co-operation is con- genial to American institutions.” In Importance the doctrine may be ranked third among the great principles of America, following the Declaration of Independence, and the Federal Constitutio’. That is why this is a sacred centennial. Guy Hall of Caniston, N. Y., died as the result of vaccination. The United States army furnishes \principle of the divine right of kings as opposed |to the rights of the people—against the encroach- jments of liberal ideas. The “Holy Alliance” was originally made up lof Austria, Russia and Prussia, France later traffies brought in and punished for the time |joining, “but England whose Prince Regent had being. be- gan to grow hostile. Her own government with its free and parliamentary institutions, was founded on a revolution.” In October 1822, the allies met at Verona and announced their de termination “to repel the maxim of rebellion, in whatever place and under whatever form Now the drive must be made to get the higher ups. The ones who are making the real money out of the business. The ones who live in hotels wear good clothes, yet have no visible means of support. These are the birds that are doing the! revi] damage and the ones who must be given the | originally given it his informal adhesion, gate. This city does not enjoy the presence of these dope merchants, and if the sheriff and federal | agencies can make the city so inhospitable as to cause their departure there will be rejoicing. | The city police department has done something along this line and is entitled to credit, but it could do so vastly much more that the people} at times wonder at the let up in vigor. | The people of the city are not concerned with | which enforcing agency does the cleaning up| and cleaning out, just so it is done. There is no} professional jealousy or official backbiting on| the part of the public and there should be no} antagonisms among officers of the law charged with its enforcement. The best officer is the one who does his duty under the oath he has taken, nnd not the one who looks the wisest and ap- pears the most mysterious. Clearing out dope peddlers and bootleggers is purely a matter of business. Neither has any. right to exist as such and the officer has all the} law and all the right on his side. If he can’t smell them out then the officer is too slow for, the job he pretends to fill. | There must be a housecleaning in this old| town and all branches of law enforcement had better get busy before something drops. Don't Block Progress | In the workings of the zoning system through- out the city property owners should be reason-| able in its application. Instances have already | arisen in which pure captiousness has defeated the construction of really valuable buildings to a neighborhood. This should not be permitted by the building authorities of the city. It is perfectly proper to prevent the building} of buildings for the conduct of business detri- mental to the immediate neighborhood. This goes without saying. But when a building is of | such character, and the business proposed to be} conducted, will add to the value of adjoining property, and in nowise become a nuisance, the improvement should not be prevented by adja- cent owners without good and sufficient reason. Investment and improvement should not be dis- couraged by small excuses and senseless oppo- sition. Complaints come from certain districts where | business buildings are encroaching upon former residence sections. It is purely a matter of time} until the business wins over the residence, and | the situation should be acknowledged at once and made the more agreeable for the one who seeks to add to the city’s prosperity and wealth. For the past four or five years, the public has been crying for construction, we are by no means | caught up with the demand. And it is a poor time, now, to place obstacles in the way of im- provement when an investor is ready to spend his money. i McAdoo Has Plans _ Knowing that the people are just now groan- ing under the weight of taxes and any more public indebtedness is unpopular Mr. McAdoo has it all fixed so the bonus will not cost an: body anything. Namely and towit—he would i: sue bonds. The last Democratic administration, of which Mr. McAdoo was one of the spenders. in-chief, seemed to think that issuing bonds paid debts instead of creating them. If Mr. McAdoo and his official associates had not wasted so many hundreds cost-plus_ con- tracts and for emptying the of millions on similar schemes it might show itself,” and they adjourned with the secret understanding that to France should be assigned the task of ‘suppressing constitu- tional government in Spain and to restore the absolute monarchy of Ferdinand VII, the French invasion of Spain commencing in April of 1823. The United States had formally recognized the independence of most of the Spanish-American yoverninents by 1822, but they had not yet been recognized by Great Britain. But the British had deyeloped a large trade with the Spanish- Americas which their restoration to. Spain, as was contemplated by the Holy Alliance, would have destroyed, so, under these cireumstances, Canning, the British prime minister, began to sound out Rush, our minister to London, as to Editor Tribune—Vaccination was originated more than years ago by Edward Jenner, an English country gentleman. Jenner was not a doctor nor did he study medicine at any school or college. In view of the fact that the medical profession vehemently protests no one without the degree of M. D. is qualified to even discuss medical subjects it would be interesting to know how the provaccination doc- tors explain ‘their adoption of a treatment invented by a layman. Jenner, carried away by enthus!- asm, claimed that one vaccination granted immunity to smallpox for life. He was forced to admit his error, however, as proved by the following quotation from one of his letters: “It has unfortunately hap- pened that smallpox has appeared in the family of a nobleman here, and more unfortunately still, in a child vaccinated by me.” The child had malignant and confluent small- pox. There are plenty of reliable statis- ties to show that vaccination does not confer immunity to smallpox. In the possibility for a joint declaration by the two governments against the intervention of the al- lies in Spanish-America. Canning’s first letter to Rush on the subject was written in August, 1823. But some years be- fore that “a direct though unofficial applica- ‘tion? had been made by the Russian minister to the United States that we become formal par- ties to the Holy Alliance. In his instructions to Middleton, our minister to Russia, Secrefary of State Adams said. “It might perhaps, be suffi- -t to answer that the organization of our gov- ernment is such as not to admit of our acceding formally to that compact.” He said the presi- dent approved the principles of the alliance, but that “it may be observed that for the repose of Europe as well as of America, the European and American political system should be kept as sep- arate and distinct from each other as pessible.” The Canning: letter to Rush, after declaiming that Great Britain aimed at the possession of no portion of the Spanish colonies, but that she could not see any portion of them transferred to any other power without indifference, suggested, a joint avowal of principles to the effect that “if there be any European power which cher- ishes other projects, which looks to a forcible enterprise for reducing the colonies to subju- gation, on the behalf or in the name ef Spain, or which meditates the acquisition of any part. of them to itself, by cession or by conquest,” such power would have Great Britain and the United States to contend with, Rush immedi- ately communicated with his home government. Upon receipt of the Rush despatches, Monroe, somewhat in doubt, sought the advice of Jeffer- son and Madison, saying, “my own impression is that we ought to meet the proposal of the British government.” It was in his reply to Mon- roe that Jefferson said: “Our first and funda- mental maxim should be, never to entangle our- selves in the broils of Europe, our second, never to suffer Europe to intermeddle with cis-Atlan- tic affairs.” But notwithstanding recent state- ments to the effect that Jefferson supported the Monroe Doctrine, he first gave his ful? support to the Canning proposal. He saw in it an al- liance with England. “With Great Britain with- drawn from their scale and shifted into that of our two continents, all Europe combined would not undertake such a war,” said he. And ing that with Britain’s “co-operation we have nothing to fear from the rest of Europe, and jwith it the best assurance of success to our laud- able views.” In October 1923 Baron Tuyll, the Russian min- ister to the United States communicated to the secretary of state the determination of Russia not to receive any minister or agent of the South American states, whence it became evident that the leading member of the Holy Alliance was op- contents of the treasury into private pockets, | there would be more money left for the soldiers whose war-time pay was doubled over the oppo- sition of the Wilson administration leaders in congress. By the way, Mr. McAdoo never advocated a soldiers’. bonus while he was secretary of the treasury, and the obligation was a fresh one, while the man his father-inlaw appointed to succeed him in that post definitely opposed th bonus. At this time, however, Mr. McAdoo is ev dently willing to udvocate anything he thinks will get him a vote. A Sacred Centennial It was just one hundred yes rs ago today, that President James Monroe in his message to the congress boldly, almost ‘defiantly, traced with the point of the sword the western limit of fu- ture European imperialism, dec! would consider any attempt on their that “we posed to South American independence. At same time Russia was pushing claims on our {northwest coast hotly protested by Adams. The jCanning correspondence and Adams-Tuyll con- \ferences occupied the attention of Monroe and Japan every child is vaccinated three times before the age of ‘4. Yet the official figures of the sani- tary bureau of Tokio show that from 1886 to 1908 there were 288.779 cases of smallpov with 77,415 deaths, a mortality of over 25 per cent. In the ninth edition of the En- eyclopedia Britannica an article on vaccination by Charles Creighton, M.D., states that in 1871 an epl- demic of small pox occurred in Prussia in which 125,000 persons died, nearly all of whom had been vaccinated. Dr. Creighton also states that “In Bavaria in 1871, of 30,742 cases of smallpox, 29,429 were in vaccinated persons.” In reg2ra to the effect of vaccina- tion in the German army at this time Dr. Creighton says: ““The Bavarian contingent (of the army), which was revaccinated without ex ception, had five times the death rate from smallpox in the epidemic of 1870-71 that the Bavarian civil population had, although revaccina- tion is not obligatory among the latter.” ‘The final report of the British royal commission on. vaccination states that in Sheffield in 1887, 5,035 yaccinated persons contracted small- pox, As the result of the report cf this commission, compulsory vacci- nation was abolished in England in 1898. In 1892-3 when only 6 per cent of the popwlation of Leicester, England, were vaccinated, there were but 19 cases of smallpox with 14 deaths per 10,000 population. During the same period in the city of Warring- ton, which was abcut the same size as Leicester, 99 per cent of the population were vaccinated and there were 123 cases of smallpox with 11.4 deaths per 10,000 popula- ccinated people of Does Not Confer Immunity Warrington there were six times as a hundred / many cases of smal!pox with a mor- tality ten times as great as occurred at the-same time among the unvac- cinated people of Leicester. ‘The final report of the royal com- mission on vaccination states that from 1824 to 1855 in the well vac- cinated population of Copenhagen there were 3,839 cases of smallpox, of which 3,093 had been vaccinated. The report also states that in the British army from 1860 to 1888. 3,953 soldiers (all carefully vacci nated) contracted smallpox and of these 391 died. In the London smallpox hospital Mr. Marson and Dr. Monk report that from 1826 to 1885 the percent- age of cases that had been vacci- nated increased from 26 per cent to 93 per cent, and that during the period from 1888 to 1891 every case of smallpox admitted to the hospital had been vaccinated. Page after page could be filled with statistics similar to the above provings positively that vaccination does not confer immunity to small- pox. ° Vaccination, however, is more than futile, it is dangerous and ‘has caused many deaths. From 1881 to 1904, inclusive, conscientious doc- tors in England admitted on their own certificates 1,041 deaths to be “due to cowpox and other effects of vaccination.” Full records are on file of the deaths from vaccination of nineteen children in Connecticut during the years 1902 and 1903. During the spring of this year (1920), Robert Hall, 14-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Dollars and Dollars stacked up in a bank vault are of no benefit to anyone. Dollars placed in the vault of the Community Chest are a benefit to everyone. Wherever civilized humanity lives the social service work of the com- munity must be done. Boys must be given the oppor tunities that belong to Boyhood. Girls must be given the oppor: tunities that belong to Girlhood. ‘This must be done that they may become citizens in every respect better than their fathers and mothers. This must be done that the com- munity, the state and the nation may grow In the future, as it has in the past, to fill the ideals of our better selves. Unfortunate men and women who are no longer capable of caring for themselves or thelr families must be cared for, not as mere objects of charity, but as an integral part of the community, robbed of their producing power by misfortune. By E. RICHARD SHIPP. a good example of the futility and danger of vaccination. In our Philippine army, well vaccinated, from 1898 to 1902 there were, accord ing to official figures, 737 cases of small pox with 261 deaths, a mortal- ity of over 35 per cent. During the recent war the sur- geon general's report states that In 1918 approximately 32,000 men were sent to hospitals because of illness resulting from vaccination and typhoid inoculation. And all of these men were admitted to the army as physically fit, the healthi- est and strongest men in the coun- try. A treatment for the prevention of disease which sends 33.000 men to the hospital would be ridiculous if the results were not so pitiful. Con- sidering the nature of vaccination it is a significant fact that so ma epidemics of glandular and eruptiv diseases such as mumps and measles occurred in our army during the re- cent war. Compulsory vaccination ts a leg! and moral as well as a medical ques- tion. From a legal standpoint it is not so much of the merits or de- merits of vaccination as of the con stitutionality of compulsory medical treatment. Under the constitution we are guaranteed the right to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Hence any law Interfering with this right is unconstitutional. If, there- fore, it can be proved that a sing!e death has been caused by vaccinn- tion, then a compulsory vaccination law would be unconstitutional be- cause it is Impossible for any doctor to tell in advance what the result of vaccination will-be. Hence every person vaccinated is Humanity This <anhot be done by individual effort but must be done through or- ganizations as a matter of efficiency and economy. These organizations must be sup- ported by the people of the com- munity and must haye sufficient funds to accomplish the géod objects for which they are intended. They should not be compelled to beg of the people of the community for the dollars they need. The Community Chest ts the sole method by which their needs can be supplied economically and justly. No thoughtful person can for one moment refuse to contribute to the Community Chest to the Ifmit of his ability, if he has the interest of his community and of himself at heart Don’t padlock your pocketbook when you are called upon. Give once and for all. It saves ‘Time. It saves Money. Do your Duty. Be a civilized Human. Madison also approved the Canning idea, declay-! the, this cabinet from the seventh of November. Cal- |houn wanted to give Rush discretionary powers |to join Great Britain in a declaration against jthe interference of the Holy Alliance. Adams op-, jposed, saying: “Considering the South Ameri- leans as independent nations, they themselves, and no other nation, had the right to dispose of their condition. We have no right to dispose of them, either alone or in conjunction with other ions. Neither have any other nations the right of disposing of them without their consent. |This principle w all Mr. Canning’s questions with candor and confidence.” Calhoun, it seems evident, was “per- feetly moonstruc’ liance.

Since many deaths frora vaccination have occurred and been admitted by doctors it follows that a compulsory vaccination law, by forcing a person to risk his life, di- rectly conflicts with his constitu: | tional right to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” It will be admitted that a school board has the. right to take what- ever tions are necessary -o safeguard the health of school chil- dren. The school board may exclude from school any child afflicted with a disease which would menace the health of other. children. But the board has no right to exclude from school a healthy child because it is not vaccinated. A healthy child, whether vacci- nated or not, is obviously not a menace to other children. And the | school board has not the right to/ exclude a healthy child from school on the supposition that it may be come diseased and menace the health of other children, for the board can act only in accordance | with facts and not on suppositions. | Moreover, according to the theory) of vaccination, children that are vaccinated are immune to smallpox and are thérefore in no danger from SUNDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1923 may be unvaccinated. Hence an unvaccinated child , not a menace to a vaccinated chiiy under any circumstances if vaccing tion confers “immunity to smallpo:, as is claimed. Those who bdeliers in vaccination are at Mberty to be vaccinated, but there is no logicaj reason why they should compe) those who do not believe in vaccine tion to submit to the operation. The Colorado Medical Liberty league opposes compulsory vaccins. tion on the following grounds: 1. That vaccination does not con. fer immunity to smallpox. 2. That vaccination has causeq many cases of sérious fllness, injury and death. 3, That a healthy child ts not a menace to other children because jt is not vaccinated. 4. That compulsory medical treat. ment is unconstitutional. We. challenge the advocates of vaccination to disprove these state. ments.
