NO HEAD OF STATE
The United States, for the first time in its history, was recently left without either President or Vice-President on American soil. President Roosevelt resumed in Atlantic waters the fishing holiday that started a fortnight before in the Pacific, and the Vice-President (Mr. Garner) was on his way to the Philippines. In the past, arrangements have always been made for the VicePresident to be either, in Washington or within a few hours' journey of it whenever the President is travelling abroad. This precaution is less necessary now, for Mr. Roosevelt is constantly in touch with the capital by wireless, and could hurry there by aeroplane at short notice. Reports from the Panama Canal, through which Mr. Roosevelt passed in tl?e cruiser Houston, stated that he was a picture of health, and thoroughly enjoyed the first part of his holiday. Mr. Roosevelt denied that he had caught the biggest fish of the party, but declared that one of his catches was the second largest, and weighed- 1341b.
