Gays Missouri Reformer Plays to GAL
Ierles--says Hearst Wants Only
Name Of High office In
New York

Kansas City's mayor, J. H. Neff,
who with a party of councilmen is
inspecting the Decarie garbage incin-
orator and other public utilities In
Los Angeles, was persuaded yesterday
for a few minutes to talk Of things
political.
Joe Folk, governor of Missouri"
said Mayor Neff. plays to the gal
Ierles. MY estimation Of him is low.
rhe people outside of Missouri do not
know Folk. The only places In the
state where Folk insists on reform are
Kansas City, st. Louis and St. Joseph.
He knows that they have no lid" any
other place in the state and he knows
they pay no attention to his reform
laws
In regard to the recent elections
Mr.. Neff said
THE election in New York had no
more foul play this time than 1t al
ways has. No one ever knew an cleo
tion in New York in which there was
no crooked work. This time however.
the party which was defeated knows
as much about how the game was
worked as the Tammany followers
s Mcclellan Better Than Hearst
"I believe Mcclellan will make a
better mayor than Hearst. His work
during the last administration has been
the name; he did not want the job.
"Jeromes victory / regard as the
greatest possible triumph I have ever
seen. He is a man who deserved what
he received
"In San Francisco the result sur
prised me. 1 expected to see Schmitz
receive an overwhelming defeat. San
Francisco must be a wide open city.
I do not think it is a place where I
would want to live and own prop
erty.
"The elections throughout the coun-
try indicate that the people are we'll
satisfied with the present national ad-
ministration, and hence they have
time to contemplate reforms that they
would not think of at other times.
There is no great national problem
before them.
Every election has been similar to
that of Governor Folk Of Missouri.
The candidates who are elected, how
ever, believe are more deserving
than Is Folk.
Missouri is not after reform the
way people think it is"
When asked what he thought of Los
Angeles the mayor said: "It is bet
ter place than Kansas City. 1 will
live here for some time when I can
get out of business and politics. I
like California and I think 1t is the
best city in the state"
He also said that the Decarie gar
bage incinderator came up to the ex-
pectations of the committee and that
Kansas City would probably dupli-
cate it.
The party spent yesterday in look
ing over the incinerator plant and

covery could never have been made on
paper.
Then, as the abacus Of the capital
casts a shadow upon the top Of the
column, the junction Of capital and col
ump becomes indisttnct To restore the
necessary effect the Greek cuts several
deep lines at the point Of junction, and
to emphasize them he paints them in a
dark tone. Even the curve Of the cir
cular torus carrying the abacus Is SO
designed that the bright light, striking
upon the relief, shall fade into shaded

All the world is looking to the coun-
| tries whose shores are washed by the
| waters of the Pacific.
| Suppose the next great Titanic strug-
| gle is waged upon the Pacific, and the
| United States, willingly or not, is
drawn into the conflict?
| The Philippines may be successfully
| defended, or they may fall. OF far

| Tense of the Pacific coast
Coming back to the first proposition
then, the key to the situation is the
Hawaiian group. 1t is the strategical
point of advantage in the entire ocean
Aggressive operations against the
shores of California, Oregon Or Wash
ington-unless they come from British
Columbia by land-must be made by
fleets These fleets must have a COM
para lively convenient base from which
to operate.
With the exception of Tahiti, 5000
miles away, the nearest foreign bases
are nearly 5000 miles distant. Battle
ships of greatest coal capacity might
steam that far, but, even with the aid
of accompanying Golfers, could not
come to the American coast, conduct
aggressive operations and then return
to their far-away bases.
OF necessity, then, the first object of
attack by any hostile fleet would be
the Hawaiian Islands.
These secured as a base, operations
against the American coast would not
only be possible, but probable of COM
plete success.

Honolulu is 20S9 miles from San Fran
cisco. From Japan to Honolulu is S445
miles; from Hongkong to Honolulu,
1861 miles, and from Australia to Ho-
nolulu, something over 1900 miles,
About 1000 miles long is the Pacific
coast line of the United States. With
this line as a base. the Hawaiian Is
lands form the apex of the most i'm
portant strategic triangle of the west
ern seas.
From them the entire basic coast
line would be open to attack in five or
six days.
When the Panama Canal is finished
the fleets of the Atlantic coast will be
that much nearer Pacific ports in time
of need, but now they are separated
from that point of probable attack by
the 15,000-mile journey around Cape
Horn
There is no assurance that other YES
sells could duplicate the wonderful feat
of the Oregon and finish that tremen-
dous run in fit condition for battle.
Suppose, for instance, Japan sudden
ly declared war upon the United States.
Her fleets could be rushed across the
Pacific in far less time than our pres
ent defenders of the western coast
could be reinforced from the Atlantic.
1t is not probable that the Philippine
station would be weakened for the pur-
pose.
A hostile fleet, however, would not be
likely to attack the Pacific coast so
long as Hawaii remained in American
hands, heavily fortified.
With ample Notifications established
at Hawaii, there would be no need of
keeping protected armorclads there,
and the ships of the navy could devote
their attention TO the protection of
shipping and ports at home.
