THE KEY OF THE PACIFIC.

The cruise of ,ne meet Is probably
responsible for the passage by the
House of the appropriation of So
600. 900 for the erection of adequate
Notifications at Pearl Harbor. In the
Hawaiian Islands. Several weak
points in our defense have been re-
vealed by the movement of the fleet
TO the Pacific. One of them is the
lack of transports and GOLFERS. Most
of the supplies for the feet have been
carried by foreign vessels Not
enough American ships for the job
We're available. This was the first
weakness which was discovered in
our defense. A lack of coaling
stations is another weakness. This
is particularly manifested in the
Pacific.
Now that the fleet is soon TO make
the trip from our mainland across TO
the Philippines, to Asia and to Aus
trailia, we will find that the lack of
coaling stations is more serious than
laymen had dreamed. Hawaii is on
the high road between our Pacific
ports aud the Orient and Australia.
Pearl Harbor is the most important
strategic point in the Hawaiian
Islands, and that group Is near the
center of the Pacific. The importance
of Pearl Harbor as a naval station
was one of the reasons for the an
nexation of Hawaii Though we have
had the islands for almost ten years,
we have never made any real start in
the work of terrifying Pearl Harbor.
The House acted wisely in appro-
priating sufficient money to make a
good beginning in the work of Great
j ing a strong naval station in Hawaii.
+ The object was so necessary that a
partisan division was not made in the
vote. The appropriation passed by a
/ large majority. Undoubtedly the Sen
ate will follow this good example. As
the president has often urged this
work he will be glad to use his in
/ fiuence in getting the Senate to ratify
the action of the other chamber Not
quite so many new vessels will be au-
thorized by congress in this session
as the president and the secretary OF
the navay have recommended. but a
good beginning will be made in the
work of fortifying Hawaii and the
Philippines. This is a result of the
cruise which had not been looked for
at the start, but 1t will be very agree
able to the American people.-St
Louis Globe Democrat.

PRACTICAL RELIGION.

One night a trained nurse received
a call from a woman she did not
know. family on the west side,
not in good circumstances needed a
nurse. The children were sick. The
woman didn't think they could pay a
trained nurse. but needed one and
must have one. and she would see
the nurse was paid She referred to
the druggist.
The nurse, after the manner of her
kind. did not stand on the order of
her going and did not prove the re-
sponsibility of the woman who called
her She found the children very Ill
indeed One of them died. The
others lived. But the doctor said they
survived largely because of the time
~ arrival of the nurse. and the
vigorous methods of cleanliness and
care which she instituted. While he
was there one day. he spoke of the
the woman who had summoned the
nurse.
She is a widow and she works
every day for living. One son is In
the High school, and one daughter is
i'm the University She owns her own
home. and she must have had a try
ing time keeping IT, And yet | do
not believe there is another woman
in Salt Lake who does so much good
where it is needed"
That was what the doctor thought
of her. That was the truth.
The widow worked for wages. She
is a competent office woman, reliable
and capable. and she makes very
fairly good wages. But she has
perfect faculty of finding people
who need help. and are too proud to
ask for II, or too discouraged TO
make the appeal. She finds them,
and gets help TO them.
That is practical religion. Maybe
il would comfort some people to be
told that she dosen't belong to any
and has her doubts about the
of any of them. But
that is error. She belongs TO one of
the churches of the city. and is as
active there as In her office, and as
devout as she is helpful
And she exemplifies the religion
she professes.-S Lake Republic

RECORD MAKING WORK.

The visitors of prominence in the
metallurgical and financial worlds
who have been in the district the last
few days to inspect mines and re-
duction works of the Nevada Con
solidated and Cumberland Ely inter
ests have found occasion to express
surprise at the rapidity and thoro-
ughness with which work of devel-
opment and of erection of mammoth
surface facilities has been carried
on at the properties of the compa-
MES
While there may have been times
at which some of the work seemed
to go slow to those on the ground,
lit is fact that gigantic steps have
been accomplished in less than a
year. The records that have been
made at the reduction works of the
Steptoe Co. and at the Veteran mine
of Cumberland Ely In particular
stand forth with distinct prominence
in the history of such work in cop.
per camps of the country. The re
ductioa works when completed will

the county. With the fair and thor

run much higher than ever before

possible to make the rate less next

Monday last to fash wireless signals
each DAY at noon and midnight.
Greenwich time, eommends itself for
its practicability. Any vessel at sea
equipped with wireless apparatus
(and few of the larger vessels are
not nos thus equipped) could pick
up such signals. Chronometers
would in great treasure be supcrse-

guarded against In fact. the cap

long enough for an actor to remain in

Mr.. Stone succeeded Joseph Galbraith
at the Belasco. Recently Mr.. Galbraith
has appeared there in several comedies,
playing the leading roles. He is now
under contract to the Belasco manage
ment, and while no hint has been given
out regarding a possible successor to
Mr.. Stone, 1t may be that Mr.. Galbraith
will return to his old position as leading
man of the Belasco company.
If not, doubtless Manager Blackwood
will be able to find leading man of
ability the next time he visits the hot
springs ON the Belasco ranch. up north.

THE Girl with the Golden Vest" a
travesty on THE Girl of the Golden

theater, made big hit last night at

AL G. Flournoy, Is clever. If Mr.. Flour

should succeed in dispelling the hoo
doc which has been domiciled in this
house ever since 1t was opened.
There is plenty of goodnatured fun
in this travesty, some of 1t rather
broad, to be sure. but scarcely as broad
as much that is staged on the popular
