PEARL HARBOR.

The War Departments proposal to construct
a naval station Mt Pearl Harbor which has just
been dsapproved by subcommittee or the
House Committee ON Appropriations. attracts at
tention to a case of delay in doing a work
which was once deemed imperative and urgent.
We should hesitate to say how long ago II was
that American eyes were first fixed upon that
splendid Hawaiian harbor as the key or the IA
cific' and as a most desirable, If not essential.
possession for this country as an outpost OF its
Pacific Coast defences and as mid-sea port OF
refuge repairs and supply. 1t is, at any rate
more than twenty years since that harbor came
into our possession and our government rs
serted its right thereto and Its intention 70
maintain that right against all the world. Inc
United States had long desired to acquire IT, ana
1t finally did so In 1887 by provisional ces-
sion in return for renewal Of the commercial
reciprocity treaty which was so profitable TO the
islands and which the insuar government SO
greatly desired to have renewed.
The understanding on the Hawaiian side was
that the barbor should be ours only so long as
the reciprocity treaty remained in force, but
the American understanding was that the ces
sion WAS permanent and unconditional, ana
doubtless that view would have prevailed had
the issue ever been raised. The British govern
ment protested against American acquisition OF
the harbor as calculated to impair the inde-
pendence of tho islands. but both the American
and Hawaiian governments declined to recog-
nize the force of the British contention, and the
cession was maintained But no step was taken
toward making the harbor Of practical use.
President Harrison during his administration
strongly recommended the occupation, improve
ment and fortificaton Of the place and the lay
ing Of a teIegraphic cable to connect 1t with
San Francisco but nothing was done then, ana
nothing has been done to this day.
The delay has been discreditable, and should
be ended Our annexation Of Hawaii, our de-
velopment Of vast political as well as CONNER
cial interests in the Pacific and the obvious de-
STABILITY of developing our coast defences ana
naval auxiliaries according to consistent
and adequate plan all bespeak the need OF max
ing that finest natural harber In the Pacific
place of service in peace and Of security IN war.
Its value to commerce would be great. Its
value In war would be inestimable, and 1t
would. as has we'll been suggested In Congress-
be one of the strongest possible factors for the
prevention of war in the Pacific Ocean. After
all these years of neglect and in view Of existing
conditions at the present day, it seems not ex-
travagant for the Naval Affairs Committee to
say, as It does that every consideration of ma
tional honor and policy calls for the prompt
equipment Of Pearl Harbor as an impregnable
naval base.

His Daily Walk

Mr.. Carter married Miss saina C. Bliss of Chicago. daughter OF
George Bliss and niece of General Isaac Coe. He was a man of very
domestic tastes and though he was a member of the Omaha club and
the Commercial club be preferred his home always and was always
to be found there outside of business hours except when he and his
wife went to social affairs, and they entertained also considerably In
their home at Nineteenth and Chicago streets.
He was naturally a quiet man and extremely courteous. He
never entered his office without passing the time Of day with his
employees. He took life seriously, however, and was not a man of much
humor. This mildness Of manner and speech caused some people
who were poor readers of human nature to mtsjudge him. But they
soon learned their error, for when hrmness or drastic action were @
quired none had more than he. Entirely without conceit, he treated
all men ankle. 1t made no difference in the cOrdiality of his greet
ing whether the visitor to his Office was a collector for the Salvation
Army or the millionaire president of some eastern bank. Levi Car
ter made no distinction between the two. System and thoroughness
were a part of him. The latter quality is illustrated by the manner
In which he studied the white lead manufacturing industry. The
former is illustrated by his habits. He came and went with the reg
ularity Of cockwork. Every evening after dinner he smoked one
cigar; every Sunday he smoked two cigars. He never drank liquor
at a bar. He was never known to swear.
His big heart was deprived Of the privilege Of lavshing its at
lection on children OF his own. His only daughter died at the age
of 4 years. Many a child was made happy by him, though, and
many a man raised up TO a place of eminence through the aid of Levi
Carter. HE was a great man to pick up babies on a ga " said a man

One of Many Enterprises

This was but one of the many big enterprises in which Mr..
Carter engaged. He and General Coe operated extensively in cutting
ties in the mountains for the Union Pacific and Oregon Short Line
railroads. They had tie camps in many parts of the mountains. Mr..
Carter sold his interest in this enterprise to Frank Coe, son of Gen.
eral Coe. They also owned over 200, 900 acres of land in Wyoming
which were disposed of to the Colorado Fuel and from company.
With General Coe and B. B. Crazy he was engaged in furnishing hay
to the government. 1t seemed a kindred fate must have brought
these three together. They were all big men In body and broad in
mind; they all had long white boards; they all had faces cast in the
same mould of benevolence and good will. Often they used to sit to-
gether in their office discussing business, looking like three good
natured giant Druids.
Fortune favors the bold" or, as Disrser says, Success is the
child of audacity" 1t is noticeable In all Mr.. Carter's operations that
to put it to the touch to win o lose it all" And when he lost he
never stopped to mourn the past. When he was sure he was right he
went ahead. Therefore at the time Of his death he was a very wealth
man. Besides being president of the Carter White Lead company. he
was president of the Equitable Farm and Stock Improvement COM
pany, which had over 100000 acres of land in Keith, Mcpherson.
Deuel. and Lincoln counties, Nebraska, and great herds Of fine cat
tie and horses. These holdings were traded for for more than 1000
acres of very valuable coal land and other property in Vinton county,
Ohio.
A man who was very intimately associated with MI. Carter was
asked about his character. why his character a just perfect"
he exclaimed. At any rate, 1t was ideal and lovable. PIny, the
Younger, said The most perfect and best OF all characters Is his
who Is as ready to pardon the moral errors OF mankind as II he
were every day guilty of some himself, and at the sam' time as eau
tous of committing a fault as II he never forgave one" This is pc
cularly apt in expressing the character of Levi Carter. Though his
actions were always above reproach, he wal not selfrighteous; he
did not parade his virtues and he had the charity which could for
give a ernng brother. One Of his employees in the Chicago house
necessary to perform an operation. He asked his employer for the
loan of 5000. Mr.. Carter sent the money. Before the check reached
Chicago 1t was found that the young man had defaulted to the X
tent Of more than $1,000. The officers held the check and wrote the
particulars of the case to Mr.. Carter, returning the check. Mr.. Carter
wrote to the employe a letter mildly reproving him for the default.
talking to him like a father and enclosing the check again. This
treatment touched the young man. He subsequently paid all the
money back voluntarily.
