TL;DR: In this paper, a man then eminent in the business world asked me to tell him in five minutes what the Monroe Doctrine meant and I promptly replied that I probably could answer his question more effectively in five seconds than I could in five minute, since, if I really began to talk on the subject, I might consume five hours; but that I would at once say, without further loss of time, that the Monroe doctrine meant "America for the Americans." Perhaps I also added that this sententious phrase was to be interpreted in a political and not in an economic sense.
Abstract: ABOUT twenty-five years ago, as the Venezuelan boundary question was looming large on the horizon, a man then eminent in the business world asked me to tell him in five minutes what the Monroe Doctrine meant. He explained that he made his inquiry in that precise form because he had just five minutes to give to the subject, and no more.

Abstract: From the beginning political development has depended on party. “The castes of the ancient world are the fossilized remains” of parties once active in a world still more ancient. The political interest of early Hebrew history centers in the struggle of an intensely national party, which sought to exclude foreign influences altogether, with a party which looked to Egypt and to the more civilized states of western Asia for ideas and support. And so it is always and everywhere; party is the manifestation of political life, and the indispensable means of its growth. In recent times, moreover, every advanced people has come to look to party—to an extent already great, and everywhere increasing—for government. But in order that political development may be sufficiently rapid and at the same time rightly proportioned and healthful, and that party government may be good government, it is necessary that the people, as well as the philosopher and the student, should have just ideas concerning this agent whose conduct so profoundly influences their welfare. Without attempting to include every point that may properly enter into a complete definition, I offer, in reply to the question, What is a party? the following as a summary of its most important characteristics: A party is a
