PROTECTION NEEDED.
There are considerable quantities Of
naval supplies on the island Of oahu
at the mercy of any hostile feet that
covets them. We think the nation
should construct adequate defenses on
his vital outpost with the least pos
s:ble delay. A number of fortifcations
have been planned and the sites ac-
quired. but no work is going forward.
Most important of all is the propos-
ed great naval station at Pearl Har-
Dor, twelve miles from Honolulu. A
channel has been dredged deep enough
to permit the entrance Of small YES
sells into this harbor, but that is all.
To complete the work adequately
would require many millions. The
sum is too great to be made IN out
of the island revenues. and besides,
since it is a national undertaking there
is no more reason for making Hawaii
pay for it than for making New York
pay for terrifying New York harbor.
We ask nothing for the exclusive
benefit Of Hawaii. We are here TO ask
hat 20 per cent. Of the customs duties
and internal revenue collected in the
Territory for the next twenty years 20
expended on public works there. we
do not ask a dollar for our own cur
rent expenses. The only benefit the
people Of the islands will reap viii be
that the money spent for wages or.
the proposed, public works viii be kept
in circuIatj@n in the islands instead
of being shipped in gold to San Fran

NEEDS OF TERRITORY.

The strongest delegation Hawaii
could muster arrived in Washington
yesterday, and will try to persuade
Congress to decree that TIN ee-fourths
of the customs duties and internal rev
enues collected in the Territory shall
be expended on public works there. AT
present the entire sum, aggregating
$l,20C,000 a year, equal 10 SIS per capita
Of the population, is taken out of the
Territory, constituting a rather heavy
drain on it's resources.
So important is this matter, in the
estimation of the Hawaiians, that the
commission was instructed to ignore
all other business and concentrate its
energies on the ''refunding scheme" as
they call it. Yet there are plenty of
matters of great Importance to t.,
island Territory, like immigration, tina.
require immediate attention.
Hawaii has a population of 10000
but needs 100000. With the Chinese
excluded, with strong sentiment devel-
oping on the Pacific Coast for the ex-
clusion of the Japanese from all parts
of the country, including Hawaii, and
with very little white immigration.
shortage of labor is becoming serious
Yet even the labor problem does no:
loom so large in the Hawaiian view as
the plan to secure three-fourths OF
the Territorial revenues for public
works. The relative Importance for
the two subjects, from the Hawaiian
standpoint, may be judged by the fact
that A. l.. G. Atkinson, Territorial
Secretary, who has been recalled to
Honolulu by the illness of the Govern
or. was on the way to Portugal alone
to solicit immigration to Hawaii, while
commission of seven of the foremost
men in the Territory were sent to pre-
sent the request for funds for public
works

THE DELEGATION.

The chairman of the delegation is
W. o. Smith, an attorney of Honolulu,
secretary of the Hawaii Sugar Plant
ers' Association, who was for six years
attorney general of the republic before
annexat ton, and is one of the foremost
men in Hawaiian public affairs. George
w. Smith is president of the Board of
Supervisors of Oahu county, in which
Honolulu is situated. AS there is no
municipality of Honolulu, Mr.. Smith is
thus practically the chief executive of
the metropolis of the Territory. He is
also president of the Merhants' Asso-
citation of Honolulu, a position he has
held for three years, and takes prom
inent part in public affairs. He is a
member of the firm of Benson, Smith
& Co, wholesale druggists, in Homo
lulu.
Mark P. Robinson, one of the most
prominent men of Hawaiian blood IN
the Territory, is a leading capitalist
and vice president of the First Nation
al Bank of Honolulu. J. r. Gait is
treasurer of the Hawaiian Trust Com
Tany, the largest trust company in the
Territory and a member of the Cham
Der of Commerce. f. A. McInerny is
a dry goods merchant and a member
Of the Merchants Association. d. Fl.
Case is county attorney for the island
OF Maui, and A. B. Loebenstein. of the
island of Hawaii is a civil engineer
and a successful real estate dealer.
The commission expects to be called
before the House Committee on Terri
tories the latter part of the week and
afterward before the Senate Committee
on Pacific Islands and Porto Rico. In
speaking of the object the commission
seeks to accomplish, Chairman w. o.
Smith said:

REQUEST UNPRECEDENTED


We are here to make an unprece-
dented request, but we hope to have il
granted, because the situation in Ha-
wall is unique and because the nation
1T large is more deeply concerned in
it than the people of Hawaii them
selves. The total income of the Terri
tory is 81. 100000. one-half of which is
taken out of the country entirely in
the form of customs duties and in
ternal revenue. The balance is not
sufficient to run the government. We
have been obliged to borrow more than
$3.O00.00o to pay for public improve
ments urgently needed We need
roads, bridges, wharves. schools, public
buildings, hafbor work and light
houses q
Other States and Territories have
had immense grants of public lands
given them for the support of schools.
The Territory of Hawaii has no pub
lie lands to give the schools. SO we
think we are entitled to aid in some
other form for educational purposes.
We have no Federal buildings at
all. though we need them. and hope the
fact will be recognized.
a great deal of harbor work is urg-
emily needed. Honolulu. according TO
Col. Hepburn, will become the greatest
rort OF call in the world q 8 soon a the
Panama Canal is completed Even
without the canal. Honolulu would at
tain that rank. because of its position
in the ocean. which destiny seems 10
have selected as the theater for the
great events of the immediate future.
At present the harbor is scarcely deep
enough for the largest vessels. An ex-
penditure of 100000 has been author
lied fo~ dredging the harbor and $780,
coo more is needed. Besides this. We
need more and better Wharves. AL
together. 100000 could be expended
to great advantage on the harbor of
Honolulu.

august the Worst Month of Year
for Poor City Children.

Some people seem 20 have the impression that by
August there is let-up in the work Of the Trib-
une Fresh Air Fund because by that time the needs
OF most OF the children have been provided for.
People often come to the management OF the fund
and say:
You are sending so many children that by this
time your supply must begin TO run short Where
do they all come from2"
This idea needs to be corrected, for with all that
nave been sent there still thousands who need
the benefits Of visit 10 the country and are await
ing only the opportunity TO get away: Missionaries
come 20 the management nearly every day and say:
Cant you get some more Of my children away?
have many little ones under my charge that need
the country badly and have not been able 70 get
them away"
To all these the Fresh Air Fund must reply IL will
DO what II can but that it's means limited.
The number of children that the fund is able to
send away depends largely on the amount OF money
In the treasury. Invitations still continue TO come
In from the country and these requests for chill
dren Will be filled so long the money at hand IS
sufficient to pay the expenses.

Commissioner Francis J. Lantry OF the De-
partment Of Correction believes that the city
can save considerable sum Of money by erect
ing a plant to supply ice for the Department
of Correction and the Department Of Charities.
There is now under process OF construction

teen thousand tons year, enough to supply the

mated that the ice will cost the city not more
