HARBOR
BILL PASSAGE

WASHINGTON, April 6.-Amid such
general enthusiasm as is seldom seen,
and has been paralleled in Congress at
no time, perhaps, since the Spanish
War, the House today passed the bill
providing for the creation of a great
naval base at Pearl Harbor at cost of
about S2,00O,0OO.
Both Democrats and Republicans
spoke in favor of the bill, and when it
was put on its passage it was carried
by vote of 246 to /, the lone mega
tive being cast by Sherwood of Toledo,
o., who is reported to haxe explained
that he was a Christian and did not
believe in war, anyway. There was
general applause on the Democratic
side as well as the Republican when
the bill was passed,
Hobson was one of the speakers for
the bill. He said that there ought to
be restraining power to keep the yell
low man in his habitat.
At the close of Hobson's speech he
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1908-04-14

was warmly congratulated, Kahn and
former Speaker Kiefer being among
those who shook his hand and compli-
mented him.
Weeks of Massachusetts said the
merest tyro in military strategy should
be able to appreciate the necessity OF
fortifying the Hawaiian islands. Daw-
son of Iowa declared that it ought to
be done, and done quickly. The real
reason, he said, had not been stated,
but it had been said that a single ship
could capture the islands in half a day.
Champ Clark recalled a speech he
made in opposition to anneXing the ISL
ands, in the course of which he de-
clared that in his minds eye he could
see a cannibal chief rising in the House
and saying, Mr. Speaker" He said
that having got the islands, he was in
favor of fortifying them. There were
many other speeches and the bill went
through with a rush.
The first appropriation under the bill
is $56O,OOO

Give the Guard an Armory.

Whatever is to he done with the old
Pennsylvania railroad station on the Mall
some decision should be promptly rem
dered. so that the structure can be put to
good use without unnecessary delay In
fact, it Is rather surprising that the gov
eminent, having known for several years
that one day 1t was TO fall heir to this
should not have anticipated the day of
transfer and decided upon a plan in ad-
vance.
1t has been proposed that the old sta
ton be transformed into an armory for
the District national guardsmen. This
would seem to be an eminently proper
disposition. considering the character OF
the structure. The great train shed will
make an ideal drill hall, while the station
building proper furnishes accommoda-
tons for the necessary offices for the
brigade. regimental and company head
quarters.
The District National Guard deserves
far better treatment from the government
than it has received in the past, in the
matter of housing. 1t has knocked about
from one place to another and is today
occupying no less than five differen,
places, all rented from private owners and
all inadequate iii point of size and equip
ment.
has been kept upon its present high plane

of efficiency under this heavy handicap.
Not only is the real work of drilling and
organization hampered. but the social side
of National Guard life has been checked,
if noI in cases entirely suppressed.
Whereas in other cities. where wisely lib
eral sums have been spent upon well-ap-
pointed armory buildings. the organiza-
ton is so popular that long waiting lists
are maintained. thus giving the command
ing officers the pick of numerous appli-
cants, in the District the guard is recruited
from any who may apply, with conse-
quent lessenng of the standard of per-
sonnet now and then. Yet despite this dis
advantage it has been held up to a high
mark of soldierly quality and deserves
great credit for what it. has accomplished
against adversely.
The sums paid out annually for rent
would capitalize into enough to construct
commodiohs armory building. Such a
structure has been halfway promised for
many years. but no action has ever been
practically started. Now it is proposed
to transform the old station into an ar
mory. But if this is done it should be
with the distinct understanding that it is
only a temporary arrangement, pending
the construction of a handsome. modern
and i'm all respects adequate building,
credit to the District and the government
and an acknowledgment in masonry of the
reliance placed by the community upon
this first line of local defense against dis
order.

Criminal Suggestion.

1t cannot be denied that the wide pub
Lefty given in these days to all kinds of
happenings has its disadvantages. 1t I'M
doubtedly aims TO civilizing end, and
it undeniably in the long run serves the
higher cause of justice. But it is now
and then plain that it tends to stimulate
imitation. How far the potential GRIM
inal is inspired to follow the exam
pie set by a notorious offender is a
question to be left to the criminologists
Ii is at worst. however, only an incidental
evil while the great publicity system is
working to the beneficial point of cure
by exposure.
An example Of the force of suggestion
is had in the prompt outcropping of
warning notes received by chiefs of po-
lice following the assault upon Chief Ship
ply of Chicago the other day. From St.
Louis Detroit and Birmingham come news
reports of such notes. all to the same
point of indicating that the officials have
been marked for visitations.
Perhaps some of these are so-called
jokes, put forth by those remarkable peo-
pie who believe it is funny to try to fright
en- others. These alleged humorists are
always to be reckoned with whenever any
thing unusual is in the air The note
sent to the chief of police of Birmingham
ii may be suggested. is clearly of the
Joke" order, reading thus: We give you
ona weeka to quita job you linda out a
knife if you don't" The crude imitation
of the Italian dialect in text stamps the
missive as a silly farce.
1t is to the credit OF the heads of the
various police departments that thus far
they have shown no alarm over the pos
sibility of being slated for attentions from
the reds. If the crime at Chicago was
planned by group of anarchists, its fail
ure and the prompt and vigorous meas
ures adopted To stamp out the red plague
must have impressed the conspirators that
the time is not ripe to appeal to the dis
contcnted for an uprising against
authority.

1ition. indeed. upon which they will CO.

The most distinct challenge issued to
the republicans relates to the tariff and
to the Philippines. Protection and I'M

maybe they are prepared to do it.
The tariff. Mr.. Bryan declares, must

So that when the state convention meets
the question will come UP as to control
Shall the tail wag the dog? Shall the spirit
of the three machine politicians of Louis

ture? If so, then Gov. Beckham and his
friends will have to take the 'backest"

Denver chosen from among those who
indorse the result at Frankfort.
On the other hand, if the Beckhamites
rule we may be sure that a delegation
will go to Denver, not only friendly to Mr..
Bryan. but enthusiastic for him. And
why not Gov. Beckham at its head? Nat
urally, he is fonder of Mr. Bryan now

him to the full extent of his ability.

To what extent has Nr Bryan been
injured in Kentucky as the result of Gov.
Beckham's defeat for the Senate? He
made an unsolicited visit to the state to
help the democratic candidate, and ap-
pea led to the boilers in the legislature to
get back into line. They heard him, but
needed not. and down he went with the
candidate and all of the latter's loyal
supporters.
But what does this signify as respects
the state convention and Instructions for
Denver? That the Kentucky delegation
will be anti-Bryan. or at least lukewarm?
