FORT RUGER PROUD OF
CAPT. MURPHY'S RECORD

William E. Murphy, @. NJ. sergeant,
Quartermaster Corps, who received
his commission as captain, quarter
master, Reserve Corps, last week, and
who has been notified to report on
active duty with station at Schofield
Barracks, has been stationed at Fort

April, 1916.
He entered the service in 1900 and
is a graduate of the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology. His first sta

he remained for some years in the
school for submarine defense, after
which he served at a number Of Coast
Artillery posts, being sergeant major
at the Preside of San Francisco at
the time of his appointment as post
quartermaster sergeant. While on
duty at Fort Ruger, Captain Murphy
has made a host of friends, both in

cerely glad of his we'll earned pro

one of the best examinations Of re-
serve commission ever held in Homo

Selecting the Engineer

If anyone believes that the city engineer lor NJ
noIulu should be selected the basis or MS Poi'
ticaI faith he at least has the sense TO keep MS
mouth shut. -,
The universal sentiment Of the city is that the
million dollar road building job shall be under Tue
direction of an engineer who is as nearly 10 oelng
million dollar man as Honolulu can supply.
Every consideration of any period would pom.
IN sucb conclusion, but the pointed demands OF
war conditions drive home the absolute necessity
for conserving dollar values and the prevention OF
waste through engineering Incompetence or poll
teal jobbery.
The nation calls upon the individual to help sup,
bort the army in the field through eficlenc. ana
economy IN the home. This call becomes dlrec-
ton and command for every person who is engaged
in any line of public work from the manager to the
laborer.
. If there are any men anxious to have the city OF
Honolulu managed by cheap political Incompetence
or who would put politics first ant public welfare
second, let him come forth and be branded tor the
weakling or the Stacker that he is. Let him bear
the bitter condemnation that must naturally fail to
his lot under the message Of the president to his
fellow citizens.

ASKS FOR music
FOR MEN LAID

Have you people any new songs,
patriotic or otherwise? Something
with a catchy refrain so the wounded
lads can easily join in. The last hos

OF Tommies, all more or less wound
ed. and the way the popular choruses
went was a shame. The soldiers and
sailors like sentimental songs Just as
much as patriotic, perhaps more.

The Uniform and the Dance

To people anxious to do full justice, the incident
of the United States sailor requested to leave the
dance floor of the Young Hotel is one Of the most
difficult.
An American community instinctively and imme-
ately rises to resent the implied insult involved
in the request made Of any man in uniform who
is behaving himself, to leave any social assembly
that is open to the public This rises to something
approaching rage when the man is acting as the
escort of refined woman.
Sentiment and sympathy are entirely with the
soldier and the sailor and it is right that it should
be 90.
Then steps in the discipline of rank governing
the relation of the officer the petty officer and the
enlisted man. 1t CRATES harshly on the nerves of
the average civilian and is tolerated only as mat
ter Of discipline.
The incident now in the public mind gives rise to
the suggestion that if there has to be any rule of
rank enforced in public assemblies C any character
the officers be asked to handle the matter.
