Amin. Shall Woman Vnie2


Thanks to the sitting New York con -
yention for the revision Of the Empire
state convention, which will, among
other things, pass upon proposition
10 extend the suffrage to women, we
are having just now learned discus
sions of this problem in the forum and
the press. As pastime it is interesting
TO note the wide divergence Of views
expressed. One column Of quoted
opinions. representing ten different
authors. lies before us. The New York
Evening Post, ultra refined. thinks
that mo more terrible mistake could
be made in politics than giving the
suffrage to people who do not want it"
and classes most women under this
head. The New York World, without
saying much, ia favorable to the expert
ment; the st. Louis Post-Dispatch con-
tends that it Is the logical outcome OF
attempted universal suffrage; the AL.
bany Journal is cynical, the Philadel-
phia Ledger facetious; the Milwaukee
Wisconsin antagonistio; the Brooklyn
Eaglelbitterly hostile ;Chauncey Depew
conciliatory, William Dean Howells
affirmative and the Baltimore Sun
conservatively on the fence.
Another interesting contribution to
the literature of this subject is made
by the esteemed Syracuse journal, in
its report of the deliberations of the
Saline City Political Equality club
recently held at the Womans Union
hall under the provocation OF ten OBJ
jections to woman suffrage previously
advanced by Brooklyn society of
'antis." Miss Carrie S. Huntington,
who led the speech making, claimed it
was violation OF equity to tax women
without representation; declared wo'
mans influence in politics would be
salutary and denied that such parti-
cipation in public affairs would curtail
her usefulness or loveableness in the
home circle. Miss Goodyear averred
that it was ''simply disgraceful" that
30 many women should refrain from
informing themselves as to vital ques-
tions of the day; anti claimed that
woman herself needed the ballot for
purposes of self elevation. Mrs. Dris-
coll drew distinctions between the legal
condition Of women in preceding gov
ernments and their condition under the
present laws Of New York state, where
by she can sue and be sued and should.

the tribe that gave to America liberty and
independence. This ia her title to renown.
1t is enough. Eternal dignity and heaven
ly grace dwell upon the brow Of the bless
ed mother nor FURNISHED gold nor sculp-
tured stone nor rhythmic praise could add
one jot or little to her chaste glory. She
was simply private citizen. No sover-
eign's crown rested ON her brow. She did
not lead an army, like Joan OF Arc, or slay
a tyrant, like Charlotte Corday. She was
not versed in letters or in arts. She was
not an angel Of mercy, like Florence Night
ingale nor the consort Of a hero like the
mother of Napoleon. Yet there were 10-

honor the motherhood of her heroic days.

the ground very thoroughly, concluded


that:
Whatever may be the hard earned priv
ileges of women, they have no political
freedom here; they cannot choose their law
makers nor their assessors, consequently
women who own property, as well az wo-
men who have no property, are equal
sufferers Women are not only taxed with
out representation, but when man dies
the valuation of the real property left to
the widow and children is at once raised.
All lawyers know this to be a fact, and the
widow has no redress; she has no personal
representation, as she would have in case
she owned railway stock. Also, all else
except the fact Of sex being equal, in in
dustrial activies her work is not, in the or
dinary occupations, paid for as well or in the
same ratio as mans work. In the great num-
ber OF church societies that woman makes
possible, her voice is not heard; in educa-
tional and and sanitary matters connected
with public schools, women are not con-
suited as they should be; in the state re-
formatories occupied by both sexes. wo-
men have no recognized power TO enforce
nee ded changes, nor to remedy abuses; in
the legislature, the many great petitions
of women to raise the 'age of consent
for young girls fall on deaf ears; the plain
rights of women and children-the home in
fact-are not granted when the question
of temp ariseJ at Albany, and wo-
men accused Of crime are often tried be-
fore juries of ignorant men instead Of by
their peers, as would be just. Yet in
spite of these crying evils under which
women suffer, there remains few women
of the small sheltered class who are willing
to hing their gilded chains and protest
against any extension of privileges and
duties and progress. 1t is a deplorable
sight to witness
The amazing thing about this whole
discussion, though, is not the fact that
there should be divergence of wishes
among women themselves, as to the use
OF the ballot, but that there should any
where be dissent to the imposition
Of fair educational test, whose provi.
sions should apply to either sex and to
all classes alike. The course of the

the representations made by the Harris

prejudice the chances of Lyman d. Oil

From the POlyneSiaH, oct. n, 1910. !
The murderers, Kamanawa and
Lonopuakau, expiated their crime on
the scaffold on Tuesday last, at the
fort, in the presence of a large con-
course of people.
This much has been cleaned
from the files of the Polynesian.
From one who lived in Honolulu
at the time and who witnessed the
execution the following additional
facts have been secured:
The wife of Kamanawa was muir
dered in a house opposite the west
side of the Queen Emma premises, on
Nuuanu and Beretania streets.
The poison was prepared by saturat-
ing kappa with the deadly juice. LOno
was an expert in the business. On his
trial, he confessed that he had poi
soned five people, and among them
was one who commanded schooner
which he-Lono-desired to control.
After the execution, either one or
both of the bodies were buried at the
cross roads, in accordance with the old
English custom of ourying executed
criminals where they would be out of
the way, and the burial places be for
ever unknown. 1t is believed that the
cross roads selected were at the juno
ton of King and Punchbowl streets,
although it may have been at the
junction of Queen and Punchbowl. 1t
is said that after Kalakaua came to
the throne, he caused the body OF Ka-
manawa to be taken up and the bones
removed to the mausoleum in Nuuanu
valley. This is positively stated by
the natives.
AS Kamanana was a chief of good
rank, great efforts were made to OBJ
tain his pardon from Kamehameha
III. The King went to his cell, and
asked him, "to whom do you look for
salvarion?" He replied, "to God"
''Then look to Him, and not TO me to
save you"
The site of the execution was over
the gate Of the old fort, which stood in
the street, about opposite the offices of
Wilder & Co. The gallows was erect
ed above the gate, so that 1t could be
easily seen for some distance. Several
children of the old mission, near the
Kawaiahao church, could see it, from
that spot.
The natives were greatly agitated
by the execution. and were filled with
superstitions about ii.
