The Inaugural Parade.

! One of the citizens associations of the
district at a recent meeting voiced a
esire for a longer line of parade on
e 4th of March so that a greater num-
of people can witness the procession
.n their homes and places of business.
he specific suggestion is that the pa

MID continue past the White House to
Washington Circle and thence return
east on * street as far as 9th. This
was the route that was followed for a
number Of years prior to 1904. The
proposition has It's merits. and 1t is to be
hoped that the inaugural committee.
when organized. will take il seriously
into consideration.
If fair weather could be guaranteed on
the 4th of March there would be no rea-
sOnable objection to the extention of the
parade by the addition of mile or so.
Probably az the rnarchers would be glad
to proceed farther than the mile and a
half which the average organization
marches from it's resting place to the
point of disarmament. if the streets were
dry antf>.the skies clear and the air mild
But with Pennsylvania avenue heavy
with slush, with the air at freezing tenn
perature possibly with snow falling, the
regular route OF later years is too long
for any body of men.
The inaugural committee cannot, OF
course. know what March will be in
point of weather. IL must plan as for a
good day, and IT might perhaps just as
well prepare for a long parade as for a
short one. Yet the parade cannot be
curtailed beyond the White House at an
hours notice without doing injustice to
those who have made preparations along
the line OF the proposed extended route.
perhaps building stands and otherwise
spending money for the enjoyment of the
spectacle. Thus from any angle the prob
lem is a difficult one to solve. 1t Is de-
sired to give the greatest possible en-
joyment to the largest number of people
This perplexity over the question of the
route of the parade is only another cause
for regret that Congress has dallied SO
long with the change of date PROPOSE
ton that another inauguration is now
at hand the old uncertain basis OF
early March weather.

PASSING OF The OLD JOKES.

As idle DER the papers

Funny stunts the artists do

That of yore / read with giee,
And memory comes haunting
OF a joke that used to be.

The mother in-aw jest lies dead and cold.)
Boon companion of this jokelet
Was another in its day
Not sturdy as an oak, yet
In seeming built to stay.
But the missing one reminding
Ne OF laughs that are no more,

For old friends of Mirth and me,

Where the smiles are scattered free;
Then with sorrowful emotion

One more mark of Wits devotion
To oblivion gets the toss.
(No playful rhymes now run upon
Green-apple pangs of little John.)
All of these bright buds of humor
Had their fondly lingering day,
But at last like passing rumor,
Faded sure and swift away.

And a little choice I'm making

the aims of Servia We're not based
upon an exaeg erated idea of pos

had conquered much more territory
than she had the intention of keep
ing. hut Servian policy had fixed mimi
mum of territorial expansion which would
sa tisfy her allies well as the needs OF
her nationals. Servia was prepared TO
MAKE any sacrifices for this minimum. FOR
in failing TO do this she would Detray her
duty. No Servian statesman nor govern
ment would dare betray the future OF the
country even for an instant by the aban-
donment of this minimum.
The minimum of Servia's ambitions, nee
essary for her national development was

which concerned the contemplated GUS
toms union with her allies Ii was m
dispensahle that Servia should possess
about thirty miles of seacoast from Ales-

join together what was formerly part OF
old Servia extending from Durazzo TO
Lake Ohrida 10 the south. and another
line from Alessio TO Djakova 10 tne north.

Austria. in pursuing her attitude. con-
siders the occupation of DurazZo as a
military occupation of Servian troops. to
interfere in which at the present moment
might be considered an unfi1endly act to-
ward the Seryian nation. SerVian troops
may occupy DuraZZo now on their own
account. according to official statements,
