The effect of the final choice of Pearl
harbor, as the primary naval base OF
the United states in the Pacific, upon
the general military situation of this
country seems favorable and salutary,
although the decision reached cannot
be deemed consistent with the original
impehaistic aims of those who urged
the acquisition of Manila bay after
the Spanish war for the establishment
of strongly fortified naval base in
the Far East. Ten years have work
ed wonders in demonstrating the flu
tility of constructing in the Philippines
an American Port Arthur, such as was
originally designed and it is fortunate
that thus far millions of money have
not been wasted in creating the strong
hold. The GiTerence of opinion between
the army and navy experts as to the
proper site-whether at Olongapo or
in Manila bay-have evidently served
good purposes for, while the army
experts have been able to prove that
a naval base at Olongapo could not be
defended on the land side, the navy ex-
perts have been able to prove with
equal success that Manila bay was
not suitable place for the project.
Fifty million dollars might eventual
ly have been spent for nothing, had
fortified naval stronghold been well
started at either of those points in
Luzon. The United States still has
no powerful naval base i'm the Pacific,
but it still has the fifty million dollars.
In retreating for site to Pearl Har-
bor in the middle of the Pacific, the
government returns to a location which
was originally acquired rs years ago in
the administration of President Arthur
The convention of 1884 between the
United States and the king of the Ha-
waiian islands granted to the United
States 1.-The exclusive right to enter
the harbor of Pearl river in the island
OF Oahu, ana to establish and main
tain there a coaling and repair sta
ton for the use of vessels of the Unit
ed States and to that end the United
States may improve the entrance to
said harbor and do all other things
needful to the purpose aforesaid Had
the annexation of the Hawaiian is
lanes not taken place, Pearl harbor
would have been retained for naval
purposes by the American government,
witt full powers to improve and fortify
it as circumstances required. But an
neXation gave to this country complete
sovereignty over the entire Hawaiian
islands, rendering obsolete the Pearl
harbor provision of the convention of
1884. Although the harbor has been
under American control for 25 years,
almost nothing has been done to uti-
lie it for naval purposes, and the
work of Transforming int into formi-
dable base, adequate to the require
ments of large modern fleet, must
virtually start at the very beginning.
Pearl Harbor's tsrategic advantages are
apparent IN its location in the Pacific
ocen, for it is the center upon which
naturally converge the naval routes
from the isthmian canal and our Pa
cific Coast ports.
In abandoning the Philippines as the
site of the fortified naval base, the gov
eminent virtually recognizes a mill

Through the kindness Of our friend,
Chris Hetzel, we are in possession Of all
the laws OF West Virginia up to date. We
have got everything taxed now in the
state from the nails in our great grand
mothers coffin 10 the swaddling clothes
OF the tenth generation yet unborn. Peo-
pie think of the bureaucratic system of
Russia. IL is tame compared TO West
Virginia. We have commissioner of
everything now from tarnation TO torment.
And as for license, man must take
out license 10 die. lie forfeits his estate
IL lac dies without license. In order to
die man must first advertise the fact for
four weeks in two newspapers of opposite
politics, and must have certificate from
the county court that he is Of good moral
character and not Of Incorporate habits.
II he does not, but plunges hence az here
toforc, his estate is forfeited under the
tax law.
He must also take out license every
year to he the father of his own children.
The license tax is $40 per year on girls
| and $50 on boys. Amy man who permits
his children to call him pap" without
having paid the license tax is subject to
a fine of $500 and imprisonment for six
months and the court is denied discretion.
And il you get neas OH yourself there is
a hunters license to be paid before you
can pick 'em off. Any man found hunt
ing fieas or doodle bugs without having
paid huiter's license shall bc guilty Of
a misdemeanor aud fined not exceeding
$500 and imprisoned at the discretion of
the court.
If you have the itch you must take out
a scratcher's license before you can scratch
yourself. The law says any man found
either scratching, digging, rubbing, or
squirming the itch without state license
therefor shall forfeit $40 for the first Of
tense and $50 for each subsequent ofiense.
| If you have the toothache you have TO
have a license to grunt, and if you have
the measles you must have license to
smell bad. These are only few things
that we have noticed i'm the acts Of 1907
