Mr.. Pages would prefer" translates
thus into Thou shalt not: and Europe
has always understood the translation.
Mr.. Taft Is right. We have never had
to fire shot to maintain the Monroe
doctrine. and only twice have had occa-
sion to announce ourselves ready to do so.
One announcement was made to Louis
Napoleon. and that sufficed to bring his
operations in Mexico to a close, and the
other was made to Great Britain, and
that sufficed to bring about arbitration of
the boundary dispute between that gov
eminent and the government of Vene-
zuela.
In the Venezuelan case, Mr.. Cleveland
was criticised for the stand he took by
some prominent American politicians. and
some equally prominent American news
papers. But public sentiment in this
country applauded him. In fact, that
episode today stands out luminously from
the welter of disaster that marked his
second administration He touched the
pride of the country without regard to
party; and had Great Britain accepted
his challenge the country would have
him in whatever might have
followed.
1t is not likely that the Monroe doc
trine win be abandoned now or soon
Such a thing would not be attempted
without consultation with the electorate;
and the proposition if submitted at the
polls would be rejected overwhelmingly.
This issue has never entered distinctly
into any of our national campaigns. The
first campaign after Mr.. Cleveland
message-that of lS9t-was
fought on the silver issue, with the Mon
roe doctrine quite lost in the shufde.
But if our Mexican embarrassments con-
time and the issue of Panama canal
tolls is not satisfactorily settled at this
session of Congress, we shall hear no
little from the stump next fall about the
duty of this government toward main

Change the Date.
From the Newark News.

Periodically Indictment weather during
the first week of March starts up move
ment for changing Inauguration day from
March to later date, when more re-
lance can be placed upon satisfactory
weather conditions. The discussion con-
tinues for week or two and then is for
gotten and We continue to take the risk
of freezing a President to death while
delivering his inauguration address. Sun
days blizzard has started the talk going
again. 1t is pointed out that the con-
ditions that prevailed March |, 1914. are
just as likely as not to be repeated March
4. 1917. and that something ought to be
done about it. Just so, but if the storm
that made the Taft inauguration day a
peril of disease and discomfort to every
body that attended failed to bring about
a change, it is unlikely that visions Of
what may happen in the future will prove
any more effective. Everybody agrees
that the date ought to be changed but
Congress is always too busy with matters
of more immediate Importance to
change it.

Armory for the Guard.

Arpuments for an adequate armory
for the National Guard of the District
of Columbia were made before the COM
mittee of the House on public build
ings and grounds yesterday Inc rea-
sons for an armory are strong anu
urgent Prominence has been given 10
the point that government property Is
sued to the guard is stored in unit
places. Everybody familiar with con-
ditions knows this to be the fact. The
War Department issuing this property
and the National Guard receiving IT
are concerned over the safety OF It,
The guard is scattered among num-
Der Of rented buildings constructed not
with a view to the purposes for which
they are being used. In several OF
them. If not In all of them. the fire
risk is great.
Lack of armory facilities operates
against the efficiency and development
of the guard. Recruits are not easy to
obtain because the inducement to en-
list, II there is any, is slight. Many of
those enlisted are not held in the guard
because the service is not attractive
to them. Drill and instruction are con-
Quoted under difficulties. The men can
organization The buildings are de-
pressing.
An armory would cheer UP the SOL
diers and make them feel that the
nation and the city take interest in
them. Men who have served in the
guard under many discouragements
would come back. The youth Of the
District would become interested. The
guard would take on prestige. 1t
might become popular. OF course.
great many persons talk pleasantly of
the popularity of the guard, but not
many join. Organization commanders.
harassed by property problems and
other questions. are perplexed to keep
their commands recruited to the mini
mum strength required by the War
Department. There are other problems in
the National Guard which an armory
would aid in solving.
National Guard soldering has been
already put by the War Department
on such a work-a-day footing that a
considerable sacrifice of time is de-
manded of enlisted men and very
large sacrifice of time and private in
terests is demanded of officers, and the
tendency is steadily toward Increasing
these demands. 1t is reasonable that
the government which asks SO much
of these men should provide them with
proper quarters.

Park Raiders!
From the New York Tribune.

No more reason exists for conveying
the site of the arsenal to the National
Academy of Design for fine arts build
ing In case the park department ADAM
dons its present headquarters than has
existed before for placing such an enter
prise in Central Park. Central Park has
escaped being converted into play
grounds, sites for libraries and art build
ings and recreation centers only by vir-
tue of very real and genuine demand
that it be maintained as park. There
is no indication that the public is now
or ever will be ready to abandon it's
claim to the park park, not as a
lovely setting for an art edifice.
