These keys are in our hands, and the
people of America and of all coun-
tries should and will hold this gener-
alton of Americans responsible for
the proper use of the immense ad-
vantage their possession gives the
United States in making an effective
stand. through proper policies in the
international councils, supported by
adequate armament on land and sea-
for the things that pertain to the
peace and welfare of the people of all
nations. so far as events in Asia and
in the Pacific ocean are concerned. :"
Concluding, Captain Hobson said:
THE United States owes to each
state of the union a solemn duty, i'm
posed by the constitution and made
imperative by the conditions of this
hour, to maintain in our possessions
and in the waters adjacent thereto
in both oceans a power that is beyond
question superior to any power that
can be sent against us. This duty
is plain on general considerations,
without reference to any particular
nation or nations. 1t becomes plain
er still from due consideration of
European and Asiatic conditions, and
the attitude of certain nations to
matters which vitally concern us"

Col. Demming is state geologist for

that heavy rock is used for foun-

so that the other material used will
find space to fall into the interstices.

Plunging then into the subject of
his address. Captain Hobson said:
I'm ascertaining the relation of

the constitution.
THE preamble of the constitution
sets forth that one of the prime OBJ
jects for which that instrument was
ordered was to provide for the com

of article " provides that the Unit
ed States shall protect every state in
the union against invasion. The
federal government. therefore, is in
duty bound to maintain such an
armed force as will secure to each

This means supremacy for de-
fense. not for aggression. 1t does
not necessitate having more ships or
armed men than nation or nations
that are possible antagonists. 1t
means having more power than such
nations have. capable of being ap-
piled against them, when invading
or approaching our territory or pos
sessions.
"The situation of some nations is
such that they cannot use against
us their entire armed force. owing to
other dangers this would expose
them to. Due allowance being made
for this and other elements affect
Ing the question of superior power in
our possessions and in the waters
adjacent thereto. the United States
government is under clear duty to
each state of the union to make such
provision without any further delay;
L. e., to have power in the Pacific
superior to the power of any Asiatic
nation, and in the Atlantic superior
to the power of any European ma
ton"
Captain Hobson went on to say:
Until nations are ready to insti-
tute system where ideas can be
made to triumph by reason of the
truth that is in them, this nation is
in duty bound to place behind the
just proposals it has made and will
continue to make the force of an arm

of our intentions and the interest of
our citizens in the ever-increasing
complexity of foreign affairs. Thus
we can and will effectuate our just
wishes. even as Washington backed
up the Declaration of Independence

Female Tenacity of Life,

Statistics show that women have a
greater tenacity of life than men.
Among insects the male perishes at a
relatively earlier period. Female quad
rupeds have more endurance than
males. In the human race, says the
New York Weekly, despite the intel
lectual and physical strength of the
man, the woman endures longest, and
Will bear pain to which the strong man

Ole than females. The proportion dy-
Ing suddenly is about 100 women to
"SO men. lntemperance, apoplexy,
gout, hydrocephalus, affections Of the
heart and liver, scrofula and PARALYSIS
are far more fatal to males than fe.

the other hand, is more deadly to the
