1t would be far preferable to leave each of
these island groups with independent govern

by arbitration, and guided, if possible, by a
commission or foreign powers. 1t is clear that
America Is aiming at this line of policy annex
ing none of the islands herself and doing her
utmost to preserve the peace of the Pacific.
This also is said to be the policy of all the En-

America will eventually become leader of the

from the position she now holds. MANY ewes
IN this part of the world are already being

so. 1t is clear that the center of power among
the Anglo-Saxon race is shifting to America, as
the center of population has already done 1t
Is therefore unwise of England to neglect her
interests In such time of emergency. The
United States does not require a standing
army, and consequently the whole resources of
the people so circumstanced could be devoted
solely to the maintenance of navy which
would make the Anglo-Saxon race absolute

Change the Date of Inauguration.

Washington Correspondence Toledo Sunday World.
There would be many good reasons for the
change aside from the question of more settled
weather. The troops and clubs that come on
to participate could bring along their tents
and camp OUT" thus relieving the strain on
the sleeping accommodations of the city. May
In Washington corresponds with our June, and
the city Is then at its best. And the physical
strain on the visiting thousands would be in
hnltely less than during the inclement
weather OF our unreliable March.
That Washington will be supplanted by some
interior point at some future day is unlikely.
Ihe growth OF the railway systems and the con-
sequent ease and cheapness with which the city
can be visited makes this improbable. 1t must
be remembered that the journey can now be
made from Oregon to Washington in less time
and at less expense than that consumed by JEFF
ferson IN his trip to Monticello. Then the
traditions of century of government by the
people cling to the nations capital. and its
sacred memories have grown dear to them.
The fear OF a repetition of the disaster of 1912,
when the British sacked the city, has been re-
moved by the growth of the torpedo art, which
could make the water approaches impossible,
while We are big enough and strong enough to
bid defiance to any enemy, and to protect our

four years old and girl three years old DELHI
erately ran away from home: A reporter
found them on the corner of 18th street and 9th

interviewed, and told the World representa-

had run away from home and would never go
back. He refused to tell where he lived. The
reporter offered to take him home, whereupon
he began to cry, being ably seconded by
Mamie. A pound of candy induced them to
dry their tears, and the blushing reporter, fol-
lowed by the crowd, proceeded to the police sta
ton with the pair in his arms. Just then Mamie 8
