An increase of from 1000 to 5000
Federal troops on this island in 1910,
is the War Departments program, &C
cording to the latest statements of
military men whose business is the
realization of the defense OF Oahu as
naturally the most important of the
islands of this Territory and as base
of offense and defense far exceeding in
strategic significance any position on
the Pacific Coast of the United States.
"a recent article in Harpers Week
ly, reprinted in The Star, pretends to
show how easy Oahu could be captured
by an enemy from within or by an
enemy through the landing of troops,
uninterfered with by the United Statee
forces here" is the statement referred
to. "There is a degreee of truth in
the article inasmuch as present condi-
tions, it seems to me, for there is no
immediate probability of attack and
by the time there is any likelihood OF
attack the arguments advanced will
not avail.
1.-THE layman cannot realize with
what rapidity the fertilization of Oahu
is going ahead. From military stand
point, leaving the contemplated Pearl
Harbor works out of consideration,
Oahu will be impregnable from a land
or landing attack within the next year.

THE great mortar battery behind
Diamond Head is ready now; there
is ammunition on hand and there
are two hundred artillerymen to work
the eight great guns. An enemy's
squadron approaching within certain
zones would never get near enough to
shell Honolulu. At least eight shells
out of ten shells fired for the mortars
would have their deadly effect. If an
enemy's ship showed a light at night
it would be as easy to sink her as If
it was broad daylight. Within five
minutes as many ships would be des-
troyed.
"Of course there are methods of APP
proach whereby an enemy''s vessel
could not be reached by the mortars at
Diamond Head, for the advantages
gained by having the fort back of Dia-
mond Head also involve certain dis
advantages, the walls of the extinct
crater being in the way for certain

SATURDAY NIGHT.

That the management of Haleiwa will
give a grand full moon dance at the

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their Unceasins Work Keeps Us
 Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passe through the kidneys once every thre minutes. The kidneys filter the blood They work nigt and day. When healthy they remove about 800 grains of impure matter daily, when un- healthy some part of this impure mat ter is left in the blood. This brings on many diseases and symptoms pain in the back, headache, nervous ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, gout, gravel, disorders of the eyesight and hearing, dizziness irregular heart, debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc. But if you keep the filters right you will have no trouble with your kidneys.
 w. A. Hawkins. 669 Yesler Way Seattle, Wash, says: Tt gives me pleasure to confirm the statement gave for publication some years ago in favor of Doan's Kidney Pills as the relief l obtained from their use has proven permanent. l suffered from an acute attack of kidney trou' tIe and though l used remedy after remedy, I was unable to find relief had the most severe pains across the small of my back and was also annoyed by irregular passages of the kidney secretions.

There Is most amiable woman In Louisville who Is noted among her friends for her habit of saying things without thinking" Her daughter was entertaining q young man on the front porch, and the mother was standing at the fence talking to the neighbors next door. In the yard of the latter was a baby a little over year old, and 1t was trying to walk.
 You shouldn't let 1t walk so young advised the thoughtless matron. Wait until it's q little older. let my daughter walk when she was about that age. and 1t made her awfully bow legged"

IN PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.

Colonel Roosevelt has killed, alone and unaIded save by an express rifle, a hippopotamus weighing three tons. As the great man did not complete l is conquest of this great creature of the lower orders by packing the car case to camp on his back, We do not know that the fact is worthy of note aE the cost of the cable and telegraph tolls. If the Colonel had demonstrate ed his ability to carry three tons for a distance of, say three miles, his name might have been bawled through the halls of time as the physical mar vel of the twentieth century. But he did not do that. He simply killed the hippo, as many q common man, white and black. has done before, and undec conditions in which the advantages leaned more heavily in favor of the beast, so that We do not see that there is really any occasion to make a wonder of q very ordinary perform. suce for one who is unQueStionably a zig game hunter. No doubt strong nerves ought to be the portion of one who goes forth against such form idable-lOOking creature as six thou Sand.pound river horse tit might sure ly more properly be called q river pigJ-but no demonStrarlCn of the nerve of the ex.presIdent of the United States was necessary. Ina; propoSi' ton Is accepted without question. Therefore why kill g hippopotamus, big or little, at all? The great crea- ture is harmless. In his own habitat, We submit. it is just as fairly entitl' cd to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" as any other created thing which breathes the breath of life. It :. not graceful, 1t is true, except in The eyes of its own kind; but there are many ungainly animals which serve q useful purpose. It cannot be characterized as yermin, like the dan serouS carnivora of the Dark Conti- nent. Its teeth are valuable conner cialiy, but the Colonel is making lenty of money out of his magazine articles, and would hardly think of turning the tusks of hippopotami into d commercial commodity. Consequen ly We think We are justified in pro- testing against the wanton slaughter O; animals, such as the graceful gir- 4tfe. or of animals which are just as harmless it left alone, such as the ungainly hippopotamus. There are many people in the world, conSid' erable number of them We doubt not, in the United States, who do not be lieve that harmless animals should be yvantnnIy Slaughfarah for thp nurDOSe O making q holiday for any man, even if he be the greatest of men, Victoria Times.
