PRESIDENT ON COAST DEFENSE

The presidents message to con-
gress recommending prompt attention
to coast defenses and an increase in
the scope and character of such deA
fense is both timely and commendable.
The only objection which the west
can make to the message is that It
neglects perhaps the most important
part of needed coast defense-the Pa
cific shore.
1t is the unanimous judgment of men
high in service in both the army and
navy that the world politics in which
we are now engaging may some day
embroil us in warfare and that when
it does come it will come from the
orient rather than for the occident.
We have little to fear from the Eu-
ropean powers. Great Britain will
never war against us except in a COM
mercial way. Neither will Germany,
France, Austria, Italy or any of the
powers. Combined and cooperative in
terests will forever keep those coun-
tries at arms length. But we cannot
say as much for China and Japan.
They are of distinctly alien blood, for
eign to our commerce and to our So
cial and industrial methods, opposed
to our religions and the civilization
to which we lay claim. Japan, filled
with the lust of conquest and seeking
more worlds to capture, is reported to
be entering upon a vast scheme of
commercial reprisal that contemplates
not only the seizure of commerce on
the Pacific high seas, but all along the
shore line from Sitka to Santiago.
China, with her hatred of foreign re-
Iations, her Boxer uprisings and muir
ders of missionaries is ever in condi-
ton to precipitate trouble that may
or may not have the active sympathy
of Japan.
And yet the government of the United
States is paying no attention what
ever to the defenseless condition of
the Pacific coast. The president Sc
lects the inner coast of Chesapeake
bay as the only addition to the gov
ernmental system, but as compared
with the necessities of the Pacific
coast line he might as well have rec
commended Moosehead lake.
1t is passing strange that President
who, of all the presidents,
is supposed to have been most familiar
with conditions on the western shore,
should overlook the most necessary
lines of naval defense. The president
truly says that naval warfare is most
successful when on the offensive, and
that the strength of Japan in the re-
cent war was due to the strength of
her forts and system of coast defenses.
And did the president ever stop to con-
slider that at almost any point along
the Pacific coast a foreign war vessel
could drop anchor and land marines
without let or hindrance? That could
scarcely be done now along the Allan
tic coast, where the defenses have been
made strong through many years of
congressional appropriation and dis
tribution of public money. Not so the
Pacific coast, which is open to attack
at every point.
The president might well take up
this subject again and send an ad-
ditionaI message to congress that will
include at least one defensible position
along the California shore line.

The union of stage carpenters is tear

And dock us if we answer him, when

Likewise the walters union mourns;

has be6n furnishing considerable
amusement TO the voters of this town
ship. but on Monday it resolved itself
iato howling farce-comedy. The
opposition (?) in their caucus couldn't
find candidate, couldn't find one
afterward. and SO on election day pro-
ceeded to nominate a candidate for
supervisor without consulting the
gentleman himself. Ransom Jones,
Sr., was the one decided upon to be
offered on the sacrifcial altar Of
politics, but Mr.. Jones is too square a
republican to allow anything like
that. so Immediately issued IA circular
to the voters notifying them that he
positively refused TO have anything to
do with the matter-even if elected
Previous to this scurrilous article
was circulated, rejecting on the
official work of Sup'r. Graf, This
article had neither signature or im-
print and only influenced voters all
the more TO vote for Mr.. Graft
When the ballots were counted only
on three, out of the total mum Der cast,
was the Supervisors name crossed
out. Think of it! A campaign by
the Anti-'iraff newspaper for several
months past productive Of three votes
