charlestown Goes Wet.

Much to the surprise of many peo-
pie the election in Chsrlestown last
week resulted in victory for the vets
by a majority of 10.
There was perhaps little overeon-
ddence on the part of the dry people
but be that AS 1t may there was great
disappointment experienced aud
though the dry people were somewhat
sore over the result they are only the
more determined to win out in the
end and we predict that they will.
About all the good people of the
community are enlisted in the fight
against the saloons aud wonder is that
there could be so many negroes and
fioaters found who were ready to alb
serb the slush fund which we under.

the breweries and distilers.

The Spencer Saloon.

Mayor Martin, of Harpers Ferry,

town last week ia appeal to the court
TO refuse liquor license to a gentleman
named Spencer, to carry on saloon
at the Eastern end of the bridge over
the Potomac river, it the town of Har.
pers Ferry goes dry for the coming
year but the Court decided agains
Harpers Ferry and that it had no
discretion under tie law TO refuse
Spencer license under the law on the
ground upon which Mayor Martin
asked the court TO withhold the IL
cense.
Thus If Harpers Ferry goes dry,
which is more than likely, she VIII

Styles so simple and so crude
We have hurled to desuetude;
Nowadays upon their heads
Women carry feather teds,

Bales of feathers or of rags;
Helmets, pie plates, butter tubs,
Jungle growths of trees and shrubs;
Dishpans, saucepans, jardinieres,

there was, another COW in the herd

We believe that this is record that
will compare favorably with the best
daires, considering this record was
made during the year 1910, which was
the dryest summer in a number of
years, with only two months of pasture
worth speaking of. This shows that

men able to march out of the fortress,
We have a great deal to learn from
our imperial neighbor, Great Britain.
If one will observe her "Imerial Out.
posts" Murray, it will be found that
she does not leave her naval bases
and trade routes to uncertain secur-
ity Compare Malta, the base of the
Mediterranean feet, with our own
slipshod attempt at defending Homo
lulu. Malta is the most powerful mar
thine fortress in the world. 1t has no
land frontier to protect and is capable
therefore of great powers of self de-
tense, yet England maintains the NAL
ia garrison at 10000 troops. Other
examples by which we may profit can
be quoted readily, but all lead to the
conclusion that we are not doing our
best at Honolulu and, therefore, can
not expect to hold the naval base
there.
In determining for oneself an intel
ligent opinion on this subject, several
peculiarities and difficulties arise. In
the group of Hawaiian Islands there
are over $4,000 Japanese, mostly
amles; in Oahu alone there are over
10000. Many of these served in the
japanese army against Russia and
have, of course, the customary patri.
otto reverence for the Mikado. A
large number of boats in the islands
is in the hands of the Japanese and
would be available to concentrate
their countrymen in Oahu. A subsi
died merchant line plies between ia
pan and South America, and a ship Of
this line could, very readily, in the
course of it's regular run, land arms
secretly were it so disposed. The site

Japanese labor 1t is a conservative
estimate to say that there are owe
900 Japanese between the 800 Unit
: ed States cavalrymen now at tn
\ barracks and the city of Honolulu.
R Other annoying matters appear i
\ studying the defense of Honolulu, bu
nothing arises which makes it's d.
y tense impossible. The naval base ca
be defended; it is a matter of dollar
and men. Our nation is too rich

Honolulu Is n question of broad gov
ernmental policy and each citizen is
entitled to an intelligent opinion. At
present the Government is making a
mere pretense of its defense, with
barely a police force on hand. This
is expensive and deceptive to the peo-
pie. The question should be faced
squarely, and it should be decided
that Honolulu shall or shall not be
held. If it is not to be held, then i'm
mediate cessation of military activity
and expenditure there should follow.
If Honolulu as an outpost is necessary
for our fleet and for our security, as
is held by a large number of intelli.
gent persons, then we should demand
that it be made defensible beyond. all
doubt and made defensible at once.

about testimonials are conflicting, yet
their practice seems the same. They
all publish testimonials from people Of
literary Importance, though they ad-
NIT that these often have a reaction
airy effect in antagonizing local critics
and in occaSioning close scrutiny for
books which might not otherwise re-

that the testimony of public people IS
