Our Foreign Policy-What Is IL
Transition stages are always awkward.
Those who are gradually passing from
one set of principles to another and quite
different set cannot escape some occa-
sional uncomfortable situations. To pro-
fess one doctrine and practice another Is
to put ones self in an anomalous posi-
ton, and anomalous positions are not
agreeable to those who are in them. Yet
this seems to be pretty much the situa-
ton of the United States to-day.
This country started out with the sim
plest foreign policy in the world-that Of
leaving all other countries alone. Our
activities were to be confined wholly to
the American. continents We were to
play no part in the affairs of the Old
world. and. In Offset, the powers of tho,
old world were to keep their hands off
the new. Upon this theory. the Monroe
doctrine was promulgated, and upon the
same theory it was reiterated and prac-
tced by many succeeding administers
tons
The moment. however, that we acquired
interests in eXtra-Americnn territory we
ceased to be Il purely American power.
In the same moment the Monroe doctrine.
based on the latter assumption, acquired
n new complexion. It,receved something
of strain, inasmuch as it was being
made to work In one place and ignored
in another. We gave evidence of n new
desire to reap the benefits of being a
world power, while retaining the privi-
leges accruing to us as a purely American
power We are still giving evidence OF
that double-headed desire. We are still
and increasingly so-in an anomalous
position.
Venezuela and Morocco are the exam
pies of the moment, Under the Monroe
doctrine we are perfectly justified in
claiming supervision over Frances chas-
tisement of President Castro. Under the
Monroe doctrine, we have no earthly
business at the European conference at
Algeciras. If we are to understand, how
ever. that the Monroe doctrine is in
allowance, we are merely conversng the
hypothesis We may send delegates to
Algeclras. but we may not superntend
the relations of Franco ana Venezuela.
In neither case are we reasonable in
expecting both. Says the London Outlook,
in an able article demonstrating this
inconsistency:
| THAT IS n conjunction Of activities
which appears TO set In n new light some
| of the traditions of American foreign
| policy. Demanding equality in the OLD
| World, she enforces monopoly in the New
Intervening in Morocco. she padlocks
Venezuela and warns all. who approach
! the barriers that admission can be OBJ
tanned only with her approval. That is
an attitude of one sidedness wh!cn We
firmly believe in the end must prove
quite untenable..'e
| Without debating the merits or dement's
OF figuring as q world power. 1t would
| be interesting to secure from the admin
| iRtration Il simple opinion as to whether
/ or not we are now that kind of power.
Our present policies seem to be based on
the somewhat childish hope that we MAY
Yet find some way both to have and 10
cat our cake.

Protection for Birds.

IT remains to be seen how much influ-
encc the good women have with this
Legislature in matter that they think
needs prompt and drastic attention. ES-
ercsing the right OF appeal, the MEM
bers of the Every Monday Club OF this
city have formally petitioned the I.egis-
lature to forbid by law the shooting OF
robins, larkes, wrens and other sweet
noted insectivorous birds.
1t is understood that the members Of
this club, one of the oldest in the city,
We're entirely consistent, and when they
passed the resolution appointing q COM
mttee to petition the Legislature in the
interest of robin redbreast, they also
pledged themselves to taboo slain birds as
hat ornaments.
Good women are always consistent
Their plea for the birds should and
doubtless will, receive early consideration
of the lawmakers.

We are pleased that lie recommends
the creation of department of roads.
That is undoubtedly the first step in the
direction OF better roads in Virginia. No

slipshod method of working the roads.
In concluding his address. the Gov
crnors thoughts naturally turned to the
jamestown celebration. which will come
to pass during his administration, and It
afforded him most appropriate text for
an eloquent climax. The address alto
gether was patriotic and progressive in

dicates high sense of duty and a deter
minatlon to discharge 1t with fidelity and

(From Tuesdays Daily ,

The news of the arrival here ycster' day of Colonel Epcs Randolph, the Arizona representative of the Southern Pacific railroad, with headquarters at Tucson. was the cause of more or less speculation. the general impression be- ing that he is one of the heaviest stock holders in the Prescott Electric com panv. the Prescott and Mount Union Railway company, and allied interests, and that his visit might be due to the electric light imbrogio which has been the subject of so much discussion of late.
 With view of securing some light on the subject, Journal.Mincr man car last evening, and received n hearty greeting.
 In reply to the question, "Is it not a fact, Mir Randolph. that you are the head of syndicate that some months ago purchased the Frank Wright in teresis in the Prescott Electric com pany, its telephone lines and street railway, and that your visit here is to some extent due to the move lately in augura'cd to construct city lighting plant9"
 Mir. Randolph rcplicd "My visit here at this time has no business significance whatever. I came here for the sole purpose of taking few days rest, and I am in no way connected with the management of the Prescott Electric company. nsidc from the fact that n business agreement exists between one of the telephone companies which control and MT.
