Congress does not favor the presi
dents recommendation that the navy
bo increased by tho addition of four
first class battleships. Tho people of
tho Pacific coast probably do not feel
pleased at this failure of tho con
gressional mind to realize certain
vital and inevitable facts. Ten years
ago America slipped, almost with
out knowing it, into a prominent
place in what are called "world poli
tics." At the same moment she
slipped out of her safe position of
"splendid isolation" Into a place of
authority from which she cannot re
tiro without disgrace and cannot
mlnnimizo without self-humiliation.
The whole country, by tremendous
majorities and wonderful self-adulation,
approved tho assumption of such
a position without, perhaps, really
appreciating what It mount. It may
not understand that tho Monroe doc
trine, for instance, will require this
country ultimately to polico South
America. It certainly should un
derstand that an imperial policy,
from which she cannot, as the pride
of nations goes, recedes one step,
will force the United States, as the
owner of Alaska, Hawaii and the
Phllippino Islands, to support large
armaments and partbularly an im
mense navy, on behalf of Caucasian
supremacy, over against tho far
flung lino of Mongolian and Japan
ese aspirations. Gentlemen of tho
house, like Mr. Tawney of Minnesota,
who was ardent in his advocacy of
"our world policies' in 1S9C, may
bo ardent now in asserting tho pro
tection of our Isolation, but the
"world policies" are hero and tho
"iholntioii" Is a closed book.
It is Impossible for America to
maintain her ndvnnced position in
international nffalrs unless she
awakens to tho actualities and de
mands of that position. Hut tho
Americans have enjoyed tho security
of isolation and tho love of humanity
so long, that they relapse Into a
stato of somnolence almost Immedi
ately after each great effort. For
this reason every war, both naval
and military, finds her in a condi
tion of unpreparedness, without
trained soldiers and without appie
clatlon of what Is in prospect. It
generally requires a Hull Dun rout
to awakon her, and waste of many
splendid lives to rouso her, Thero Is
no moro doubt that tho futuro holds
a contest between America and Asia
for tho control of tho Pnclflc than
that tho yellow races are- taking on
Western civilization and preparing
to opposo their offonded sensibilities
to tho oxnsperatlng nagging of thoso
samo Western nations, Such a con
flict may not como soon and yet tho
first thunderbolts of International
disruption and disturbance usually
como from what was but a moment
boforo a clear sky. It has always
been so. It will probably always
bo so as long as tho standard of in
tellectual and spiritual development
rises no higher than tho claims of
physical punishment as a means to
an ond. Japan hns shown China and
India how to resent offenso and tho
two nations, Japan and China, are
mnklng ready, not to resent offense,
because no nation dares now offer
it, but to make Asia and its wealth
and tho Pacific and its ocean high
ways, theirs without competition.
And America mubt bo ready for tho
conflict or retreat.

Announcement has just been re
ceived in Marshfield of the marriage

and most popular of Marshfield's
younger set and are the recipienfs

Fruit Inspector M. G. Pohl to
Make Southern Oregon Co.
Live Up to Laws.
M. G. Pohl, fruit Inspector for
Coos county, is making fair progress
with his work. He is now having
difficulty In making the Southern
Oregon Company comply with the
inspection laws but Is determined to
do so. So far, he says the Falrview
orchardists have shown a better
spirit of cooperation with him than
tho fruit raisers in other section of
the county.
In the following letter to The
Times, he tells as follows of his
work:
"So far I have not visited a par
ticular section where the orchardists
have entered with moro spirit to im
prove their orchards and their own
conditions as at Falrview.
"It is a pleasure to be able to
congratulate these people for this
spirit expressed. It is quite different
meeting these farmers than many
others I have met in other localities
where the fruit inspector is only the
recipient of ill-will for endeavoring
to do his duty without fear and
favor.
"So as the tide ebbs and flows so
may conditions change and even
those condemning will see their
present folly.
"I should thank the Southern Ore
gon Company to obey the law on
their different properties with or
chards. As it is, they are injuring
their industrious neighbors. Corpora
tions have no souls but at least they
should have a feeling of justice and
honor.

Hats
Display of Xew flown and
Prevented by Weather.
An Oregon mist, which occasion
ally assumed the proportions of a
good sliowor, prevented a display of
Easter hats and Easter gowns on
Coos Hay yesterday. Tho dampness
prevailed throughout tho day so that
tho hopes that there might bo at
least a few minutes of sunshine to
permit parading in new gowns woro
in vain.
Tho special Easter service pro
grams at tho churches attracted
largo congregations, many of tho
edifices being crowded at each sorv
Ico. Tho turnout for tho Sunrise
meeting nt the Presbyterian church
was largo. Tho musical programs at
tho churches aro said to have been
tho best evor given on Coos Day.
In rosponso to a request of tho
Rov. D. W. Thurston, tho ladles in
tho eholr of tho Baptist church re
moved their hats during tho serv
ices. Wlillo tho Rov. Mr. Thurston
disliked very much to prevent a dis
play of tho attractive Easter head
gear, ho folt that it was essential to
tho congregation's wolfaro to do so.

Loading Freinht by Cards.
"I don't know whether the practice
Is still kept up In the far south, but I
remember how tickled I was at seeing
tho method used in loading goods Into
freight cars down in Mississippi some
while ago," said a railroad man of St.
Louis.
"A lot of strapping black fellows will
bo on the Job under the supervision of
a white man, who will bo Issuing or
ders with great volubility. 'Put this
nboartl tho king of diamonds; take this
to the ace of hearts; load this on the
ten of spades; this to the jack of clubs,'
nnd so on, and then you'll notice each
one of the long line of freight cars has
tacked on it some one of the fifty-two
cards composing a full deck. Tho Sen
egambian loafers for the most part
were Ignorant of letters and figures,
but every man of them knew the paste
