Do You Own An Automobile? If you do you are a business man. Now then, as a business man, if someone came to you and PROVED to you that you were throwing away dollars tl*t could be saved and put back into the business or used to some other good advantage, (“understand we said PROVED”) would you take advantage of that saving? Sure you would. Well, then listen, “INSYDE TYRES” HAVE PROVEN that you ARE throwing those precious dollars away. You ask how? Here is the whole secret in a nut shell. Your old tires have gone so far and things generally have gotten so weak, you get a blow out. Insyde Tyres are guaranteed to stop blow Outs for evermore. Curses and still more curses! Insyde Tyres are the only sure cure for “sweatritis.” You take the old tire to a vulcanizer; he says the fabric is rotten; we can fix the hole, but she’s liable to blow out in another place before you go another mile. The only remedy is a new tire, and they cost like blazes during these strenuous titties. Now, then! If you will just give us about ten minutes of your time and let us explain how Insyde Tyres absolutely prevent all blow outs; how they are 90 % puncture proof; how we wear your old tires entirely out; how we make your new tires go again as far as they are guaranteed to go; how we give an IRON CLAD GUARANTEE (signed and backed by a reliable concern), they must do all these things and more, or we give back your money without asking you to explain how it happened; how we can refer you to many substantial business men and farmers who will tell you what Insyde Tyres have done for them; how we-have hot had one single, solitary complaint; then you will realize that We can save you three-fourths of your tire bills. , » . >.j • Remember—lNSYDE TYRES are sold on an absolute guarantee. No hemming and hawing to get around it. We know what they will do, and every purchaser must be satisfied. Try one in one of your casings. We know you will soon have an INSYDE TYRE in every casing you own. Just call me up and I will call on you at your store, office or farm. It’s a pleasure to tell you about them. JOHN H.

The World’s Next Step NO. 4 The League of Nation* and the Monroe Doctrine By CLARENCE L. SPEED (Written for and Approved by the Illlnol* Branch of League to Enforce Peace.) Apprehension, real or pretende<| that the cherished Monroe Doctrine will be signed away if the United States becomes a party to the league of nations, as it is now proposed. Is one of the grounds of opposition to the league in the senate. The Monroe Doctrine was enunciated at a time when reaction was in the saddle In Europe. Napoleon had been crushed and ancient dynasties were being re-established on the thrones which had been overturned following the French revolution. The infant republic In America was surrounded by the possessions of powerful European states. With the exception of the struggling republic in America there was hardly any place where the spirit of democracy seemed to survive. President Monroe felt the isolation not only of this nation but of the democratic spirit which It represented, and gave voice to the doctrine that no European state should be permitted to obtain further territory on tills continent. He feared that the establishment of monarchical forms of government any nearer,our borders might make the overthrow of democracy complete. The right of the United States to take this position of guardian of a hemisphere was never admitted by the European nations, but Europe was busy with its own affairs and in the early days the Monroe Doctrine was not challenged. Time passed. Mexico and Central and South American countries threw off the yokes of Spain and Portugal. Democracy progressed in Europe. The British government was liberalized. France became a republic, then an empire, and then once more a republic. With the exception of the German menace, which was not recognized until the war broke out, Europe seemed to have no territorial designs on America. But the Monroe Doctrine grew and grew. From being a protection against the aggression of monarchy which might overthrow democracy in the United States, It came to be interpreted as Involving a duty of this country to protect the little LatinAmerican republics from punishment for reprehensible acts such as repudiation of debts or violence to the persons or property of foreigners residing in their borders. We were placing ourselves in the position of being made the policeman whose duty it was to make the little republics be good by force or ourselves to fight other nations which might attempt to protect the rights of their citizens. Can anyone imagine any foreign entanglement more likely tn involve us in war than this? It will be remembered how near we came to war with England once on this account ; and just before the world war broke out it began to seem pretty plain that we efther would have to enforce order in Mexico or stand aside and see some other nation do it.

However, except that the Monroe Doctrine was sometimes used to stir up jingoism in national campaigns, it had really played little part In American thought in recent years. In fact, our assumed rights under it were abrogated In some twenty arbitration treaties which we signed with England. France, Russia and other nations in 1913 and the years following, and no one even noticed ft. These treaties agreed that the United States and the other nations signing them should “submit all disputes whatsoever to arbitration.” These disputes were just as likely—probhbly more so--to Involve the Monroe Doctrine as anything else. And under the treaties we would have had to submit them to an Internntlonal body much like that provided for in the league of nations. But, though we had signed away our rights under the Monroe Doctrine, league of nations, while it does not mention this American principle speclflcelly, in reality docs recognize It by virtue of rohngnfcing the fundnincn tn! principle underlying it; and this is the first general recognition it has ever had. The Monroe Doctrine asserted that no country Kould be allowed to grab territory on this continent without getting into trouble with ns. The

league of nations provides that no nation shall be allowed to grab territory anywhere in the world without getting into trouble with all the members of the league. Obviously this applies to America as well as any other country. The result is that we, instead of j havinc all the burden of enforcing the Monroe Doctrine against the world,! now will have the world pledged to help us support it against any nation which seeks to grab land. Apparently this, instead of dragging ns into a foreign entanglement, heljis ns out of our one hereditary foreign entanglement w hieh might threaten ns with war over a matter in whieh we, had little or no concern. What l J l **" ' f ,he lea K ue should fail? “us e" Whelm 'an m combine to over- » ■». now. We could eltheZ 6 we are duty of chastising the ” le de rt. or go to war to prareM punishment being meted out. That's ail we cun do now.
