That Bee Morrison, local mana.

met with foul play is the general
opinion Of the people, regarding
the sudden disappearance Of Mr..

HARRY IRWIN SLATED
i. ' TO APPEAR FOR THE
CITY ATTORNEYSH|P

Harry Irwin, for candidate on the
Democratic ticket at the May pri.
maries for city and county attorney, is
the latest hunch of the slate makers
Slate making, it may besremarked, is
the principal diversion of the politi,
SLAMS, now that the election Is over.
Politicians have to do something to
keep themselves in the public eye, and
slate making is an innocent and pleas
ant diversion that does nobody any
harm.
However, in the case Of Irwin, there
is a fairly solid foundation Upon which
to build. For many years he has been
one of the wheel horses Of the Demo
cratic party in Hawaii. Most of those
years were lean and hungry ones, and
there was little nourishment in being II
Democrat. For the matter of that,
there is none too much nutriment in it
now, so far as Hawaii is concerned,
outside of those jobs that are at the
disposal of the President of the United
States.
But Democrats are eonstitutionally
hopeful, nor has hope long deferred
changed this characteristic in them.
Harry Irwin was for years one Of
the leading attorneys of the Big Island.
Not long since he moved to Honolulu
and went into partnership with Judge
A. S. Humphrey, recently deceased
He is said to have considerable drag
at the national Capital, and last June
was delegate to the Democratic ma
tiOnal convention in st. Louis.
90 he n
nomination for the city and county at
torneyship, he appears to have lcgiti
mate right to ask for it, with u fair
prospect of getting what he asks for
1t is understood that he can count upon
the backing of the McCandless faction
of the much divided party.

The Second Infantry team triumphed

was played in drizzle of rain, and the
slippery field and the superior weight
of the army team was too much for the
Punphou boys. Both Of the Seconds

once losing possession. All of the
plays went between tackle and tackle.
The heavy Infuntry line opened holes
almost at will and their backs tore
through for gains or from five to ten
yards. PetrOveskey was especially
hard TO stop, and it was he who finally
placed the ball behind the goal line
The second touchdown came ns the
result of u fumbles punt by Peterson
and bit of bad judgement in the
choice of Punahou signals.
Punahou did not display the snap
and dash which characterized their play
against Kan Saturday. The Infantry =
line had the jump on the Buff and Blue
most of the time; that, as well as theiI
weight, made thoir plays effective.

purpose. Proper observance of orders
is impossible without proper respect
for the one who gives them, hence dis
cipline. AS to drudgedy, I can speak
with fair knowledge for the navy, hay-
ing spent twelve years in it. The pop
ular ideas of the navy would be anus
ing. were it not for the fact that they
seriously deter young men from en-
listing in this branch of the service.
One of the pet ideas of the uniformed
civilian is that Jack scrubs decks
and shines brasswork without ceasing.
The deck planking on a barttelship
consists of AKA hard yellow pine scant-
lings. but is Jack were to scrub it
as much as some people think he does
the entire navy would need to be re-
decked at least once a year. for during
that time the poor fellow would have
scrubbed his way right through to the
bare arm. The same applies to brass
work. The navy yards would need to
put in extra foundries in order to turn
out brass enough to renew that which
roor, patient, long-suffering "Jahk'
lad shined away.
The truth of the matter is that work
in the navy is extremely light Morning
cicaning of the ship consumes about
ote hour, for many hands make the
work light for all. This includes the
much-abused scrubbing of decks and
sniaing of brass. Stories OF inhuman
.ofteers and slave-driving petty officers
originate from just one source, name
ly. that of the disgruntled. worthless
man who has been kicked out of the
navy. This sort of a man is invariably
ia natural-born liar and his stories OF
| persecution would bring tears to the
eyes Of stone image, but they can al
be grouped under one short heading

There are very few things in the
world that are more misunderstood
than life in the United States navy.
Go not believe there is any one thing
in this country that is subject to so
much popular misconception. To the
acreage civilian, life in the navy or
army means an unending round of
d7udgery and degradation. His men
tai picture OF an officer is of q ferocious
demon whose one great ambition is to
make life az miserable as possible to
all under his command, and whose real
desire is to boil his men in oil. Now
the truth of the matter is that a more
gehtlemanly set of men than the
American naval or army officers would
be hard to find. The welfare of the
men under their command is their first
thought As long as a man conducts
himself as he should he need not fear
that he will fail to receive considera-
tion due him from his superior Off
GERS.
That there is discipline in all mill
tary organizations is very true; it is
something that is absolutely necessary.
It is the very keystone of military or
ganization. Without it we would cease
to have an army and navy and in
their places would leave a masterless
