WHAT HONOLULU DEFENSES
need To MAKE The PLACE
A GIBRALTAR IN real FACT

Honolulu ms an Outpost What
II Means To the United States as n
World Power II the title of u very
interesting article appearing IN re-
cent issue Of National Defense. The
authors name Is no, disclosed, but
the article ~ clearly written by one
who knows conditions ON his island
aud treats Of them In manner easily
understood by the average read, r.
The article follows:
The strategic position of Honolulu
has been recognized by the United
states Government IN announcing lis
intention to make Pearl llarbor the
main naval base of the Pacific Ocean,
writes \. Y. Y In u recent number
Of the Journal of the u. =. Infantry
Association. To carry this into effect
the following measures are under
way: ~ The dredging OF Pearl iIar-
Dor and It's preparation rs u navy
yard: I2) the fertilization of Pearl
llarbor and Honolulu, to gain Sc
curiiy against attack from the sea I:
t3preparation Of "a plan for land de-
Tense Of the navy yard and Honolulu
The choosing of Honolulu AS a
strong point In national defense Is
based on sound reasoning. II must
appeal to anyone at a glance what u
disadvantage II would be to this coun-
try In war time to have Honolulu con-
trolled by an enemy. The possession
nf Ilnnnlpln hu IN al as
would very materially solve her prob
lem of attacking our coast, and In fact
would so ease the situation for her
military force as to make such an
attack q real temptation.
An outpost is valucless unless It
time. money and nervous energy to
prepare u place for defense and still
feel that only extreme good luck will
enable II to fulill its mission. In a
game Of cards or in business COM
petition each one engaged recognizes
that in certain points his opponent is
superior and is bound to win. These
points he gives up chcerfully and
wastes no time over them. but con-
centrates his energy and force where
he has u chance for victory. So In
the game of national politics. In the
struggle Of II nation for existence,
questions arise AZ to its outposts, and
they should be determined by the
same principles as those by which
a game IL played. Where nation
IL weak and expects to lose. 1t must
not eypend one dollar or one man.
Once nation yields to sentiment in
placing its defenses and forces.

A. B. Callahan, in his new paper, the sourdough, of Douglas. Alaska, seems to be of the opinion that all was not well at the Juneau Hotel i'm mediately before the fire which de suoyed the building and snuffed oUt the lives of seven or eight human beings. Continuing he makes the de mand that the coroner. examine into the matter and place the blame for the affair where it belongs. Accord ing to the SOu0dOugh, an altercation was heard in the hotel immediately before the fire, followed by what sounded like two shots being fired inside the building. The theory ad- vanced is that there was a mur der committed and the building fired to eface the evidence of the crime. If there is the last suspicion of any thing of the kind, the matter should be thoroughly inyestigated.-Ex.

HOME RULE IN ALASKA

Representative Sulzer's platform for home rule iD Alaska. as promulgated by him at a meeting in Seattle, will be generally endorsed by the people Of the West. AIr. Sulzer is one of the few Eastern men in congress with a clear and correct idea of the rights of Westerners. Sulzer is a Democrat, but his notions of what is right are so much greater than the matter of party that We feel sure that if the Democratic party should adopt the Sulzer program for the salvation of Alaska. the Democratic candidate for president would carry every West erR state
 Nr, Sulzer, although New Yorker, realizes that it is hardly fair to ask that the men who have for twenty years eaten SOW belly and endured many lardships incident to pioneering shall give up the fruits of their la bors to an ayariciOus and grasping East He knows, too, that every Western state offers still thousands Of opportunities. and that the deyeI- oped part of Alaska is barely a scratG to that which remains.
 The cream of the West has gone to the East in the form of interest ever since the first wagon crossed the plains: the milk has gone East in exchange for manufactured products, and We are asked to turn over the whole darped COW, and at the same time furnish feed for her keep. We don't propose to do it.
 The Republican party offers little aid. Let Sulzer take his home rule and square deal up to the Democratic party. get it nailed into the platform with words of sincerity, and then see what the West will do.-Grays Har- Dor WashingJoDian.

MADE THEM REMEMBER.
Customs Of the Old English Court Of
Forest Regardees.

Customs OF tnO OIo en0uo0 N0OSS OF
Forest Resardsrs.
The great forests Of England were
for centuries royal property. They
were kept from settlement and en-
crOachment by the strictest laws and
the severest penalties. To enforce the
laws a great number Of officials were
appointed. There were warders, yer.
derers, foresters and regarders, and
there were special courts to try cases
of trespass, pOaching and like O6fenses.
1t Is OF the regarders that Mr.. Nor
way writes in his Highways and
Byeways In Yorkshire" He Is deal
ing with Sherwood forest Of Robin
Hood fame:
II know not with any certainty what
may have been the boundaries Of this
forest in ancient times. for that ex-
cellcnt custom Of the court Of the re
gartlers has gone out Of use. which
was wont to impress the bounds 50
firmly on the memories Of those who
dwelt in the neishbOrhOOd.
The regartlers used to take a survey
Of the forest every third year. and In
their train went a number Of boys col
lected willy nilly from the immediate
vicinity. The boys were chosen be-
cause it was held that the memories
Of the young are good. Yet 1t was
found to be desirable to impress them
firmly with the actual limits lest any
wandering fancy should distract their
attention mt the important moment.
and SO the boys were bumped heavily
upon the ground whenever the bound
