With the Navy Department urging

work of the surveying Of the lands
which have been chosen for the site,
and the settlement of the suits for the
condemnation OF the property, the be-

yard seems to be at hand.
While 1t Is true that this work would
be OF inestimable benefit to the islands
in that there would be provided accom-
modations and defenses which are much
needed, the fact must not be forgotten
that in the suits for the possession OF
Pearl Harbor acres there is a matter
which Is of prime significance to tht
business interests. The fact that thu
lands selected are those which have
great value to the plantations which
control them. must not be lost TO sight

PUT MURPHY AT WORK.

We hope that the clergy and the laity
of Honolulu and Hilo will give Mr..
Murphy a chance, before he leaves Ha-
wall, to carry on a series of Gospel
temperance meetings under their aus
plces. There are two reasons for this.
One Is personal to Mr.. Murphy, who
came here in good faith to carry on his
work, drawn by assurances that meant
nothing and pledges that were not full
filled and who now finds that his name
had been used while he was absent, to
conjure dollars from the pockets of the
unwary. The other is general to the
public, which needs a frequent enliven-
Ing on the subject Of personal abstin-
ence. Just now cheap beer Is making
It's inroads; the price of wines and
spirits has fallen to almost the San
Francisco level; and the drinking habit
Is on the increase. What better time
in which to arouse public conscience
on the subject of drink by means of
moral suasion? What better man 20 do
the work than Francis Murphy, who
shared with John b. Cough for so many
years the honor OF being one of the
two most persuasive temperance ora tors
