THE CITIZENS OF HONOLTlI.E1 N.
GRATEFUL TO THE SOLDIERS
AND SAILORS.

Editor Honolulu Star1Bulletin,
Sir:--Let us look over theiF.s liness.
the most of them are, young; they have
I'd enlist for three years or more; they
bid father, mother, brothers and sis
tiers farewell and leave the dear old
home and everything that is dear to
them and come over three thousand
miles; they live in barracks from fiji
ty to one hundred in a room. Each
one has cut-bed. a small trunk and
most of them have a rsmall closet.
There is a three-foot space between
the cots. They use their cots "a for
chairs. They; have a kitchen and a
dining-room in a building near by
with long tables and chairs. The gov
eminent calls their board 81 per
month; good, plain food but not many
luxuries. AT that price there are sol
diers detailed to do the cooking. They
do their best but it is not like moth
er's cooking. No meals are kept wait
ing If any are absent. When the SOL
diers' days work is through they go
to their barracks. There is no mother
or sister to speak kind word and
give them smile. Some get permits
and go to the city. Nobody. speaks or
bows to them or asks them to their
homes. The saloons always welcome
them as long as their money holds
out, after which they have no use for
them. There are not many that go
to the saloons. Some are discouraged
and say Nobody cares for me" and
they get so that they do not care for
themselves and try to drown their
troubles with drink. Then they go
out on the streets and citizens see
them come along and say drunken
soldiers" They go into another street
and may meet the same soldiers and
they say more drunken soldiers!
Many times they will meet on other
streets and they don't stop to think
that they are the same ones, and the
citizens go home and tell that they
have seen twenty or more drunken
soldiers, when in fact they have only
seen three soldiers drunk. Then they
look down on every soldier, and the
good soldiers have to suffer with the
few bad ones.
Citizens, is it fair and square for US

Noted Campaigner Urges Wo-
men to Secure Ballot Un-
der Territory

Before a small but appreciatiVe
audience Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait
spoke on Woman's Suffrage at the
Hawaiian Opera House last evening
Much TO the surprise Of those VINO
were present there were but few Ha-
waiians in the audience. Mrs. Gait
proved herself a good orator as she
stood on the platform seemingly I'D
conscious OF herself and speaking in
a well moduIated voice in a clear an:
concise manner. Mrs. Gait is woman
OF medium physique and pleasing ap-
pearance and she has the softest OF
gray hair Her personality is rather
compelling and in her every action
showed herself to be leader Of wo-
men. .a f1..-s. f.. =. s:E = .-s~
Upon her appearance at the Opera
House last evening with Mrs. J. w.
Dowsett she was greeted by a sweet
Hawaiian selection sung by trio OF
Hawaiian women. Again at the close
of the lecture these same women sang
their beloved Aloha De-" In spite Of
the fact that the audience was small
one ii was a representative one. Both
men and women who are at the head
of affairs in this city were present and
their countenances showed that they
were present not as critics but to gain
clearer insight into Wornan's Suf-
frage. And IL is not likely that any
one left the hall dissatisfied. ~
Speaks on History Of Movement.
In opening her address Mrs. Gait
said that as she did not know just
how much education the people of Ha-
wall had had on Suffrage she would
TEN them what it has accomplished,
OF the size of the move
ment, and why the suffra-
gists are at work. As to size, she
said that the international Woman's
Suffrage Alliance has two million
members which include twenty-six
different nationalities That is every
country in the world with the excep-
ton OF Spain, Greece and Turkey have
national woman's suffrage oganriza-
tons and the majority of many of
them belong. to the International Wo-
mans Suffrage Alliance.
She said that the women OF Hum
gary are the strongest and in Bohe-
mia a woman has recently been cleo
ted q member of the parliament or
diet. In speaking of the size and
strength Of the movement Mrs. Gait
said that the women In New York are
twenty thousand strong and that wo-
mans suffrage there Is one of the
strongest political pnoblemss that has
confronted the people.

MRS. CHAPMAN Gait SPEAKS TO
HAWAII AUDIENCE ON SUFFRAGE

Then she turned to the accomplish
ment of the Woman's Suffrage move,
ment. In lS4S the. Russian women
were allowed to hold their own pro-
perry. And therefore had received the
first step toward gaining part Of the
suffrage Up to that time the men held
all of the property. Then she told, OF
the struggles the women had before
they were allowed to take positions
in the working world. And even In
America where the women were more
independent there were no high
schools where girls were permitted to
enter. And 1t was many years later
before the women were admitted to
any college. Then in the foreign coun'
tries when the women worked as
scrub women or held some such posi-
ton they had to receive written per
NIT from their husbands before they
we're allowed to collect their salaries
in spite of the fact that they were
the bread earners Of the family. Ora
.dually however, the condition was re-
medied and now women hold in some
places rs important positions as do
the men. Also, in the United States
there are six states wherein the wo-
men have the full vote. 49,.
Scandinavia Leader.
Great Britain and the United
States are not the leaders in this suf
frage movement, the leadership be-
longs to the Scandinavian Countries,
Finland which is mostly populated
with Scandinayians Mrs. Gait ciassed
among the Scandinavian countries.
Norway" she said is one Of the most
democratic countries in the world. :
The women vote on nearly the same
terms as do the men; the only diff,
ference being a slight tax qualifica.
tion and the members of parliament
have promised to remove that obstacle
The same condition exists in Sweden
and here, for the first time in his.
tory, king has advised woman's SUI.
tfrage He has gone so far as to adj
wise the members of Parliament to
give the women the franchise. In
Denmark too the women have nearly
the full franchise.
In Great Britain the women have

for everything except the members OF
Parliament. In Australia and New
Zealand the women have the full right
to vote.
THE coming of Woman's Suffrage
is as certain as the rising of the sun
tomorrow" said Mrs. Gait. Then she
told of the reason that the women OF
the United States find it so hard tc
gain the full franchise. In all Other
countries the women get their right
to vote through Parliament whereas
in the United States the women are
dependent on the voters. Many Of
these men are foreigners who have
remained in United States for five
years and who have become, natural
lied.
What seems strange to me- SAID
Mrs. aCtt is that a man from Ital,
who has remained in the United
States long enough to become citi

to treat the soldiers and sailors so?
Is it doing to others as we would like
to be done by? They keep the enemy
away and protect our lives and prop
erty, and il an enemy comics they are.
willing to fight and die to protect US.
And for all this they receive the small
sum of SIS per month and board and
clothes just one kind of suit. We
have many and we have many nice
rooms in our cottages.
I / dare say that there are many,
many more drunken civilians in Ho-
nolulu than there are soldiers. The
soldier and sailor suit gives them
away. The drunken civilians can go
home and maui their poor wives and
children around and there is very lit
tie said about it. " ~
Now for e. test: Put all the soldiers
and sailors on one side of street and
the same number of civilians on the
other side and the soldiers and sailors
will be a looking lot and excel
in every way.
Do you think that many of the boys
will want to re-enlist and stay here
when their enlistment expires? Mo-!
Mol Ladies and gentlemen, why not
give the soldiers and sailors a little
bow and smile when we meet them.
and let them know that we love them
and want to make it pleasant for them
for all they are doing for US? No
soldier or sailor will harm any lady
that will give him little bow and
smile and then go on her way. Try it.
Not understood. How many hearts
are aching
For lack of sympathy! All, day by
day
How many cheerIess, lonely, hearts
are breaking
How many noble spirits pass away
Not understood.

clearer,
Or judge less harshly when they
cannot see!
o, God that men might draw little
nearer
TO one another. They'd be nearer

Under the big trees on the school
campus. with the moonlight forming
part OF the necessary stage effects, the
pupils OF KamehaHeha school for
girls presented the Indian legend OF
Hiawatha last night.
A large number of people were pre-
sent, many of whom saw the. produc-
ton last year and who had returned
this year bringing their friends. until
the outdoor theatre was crowded.
The production was given for the
alumnae benefit of the school and it
was evident that a large sum was
realized according to the large gather
ing that was present.
The program was as follows:

INTEREST IN SEGREGATION.

If there is need of evidence to con-
vince any one of the growth of race
prejudice in this country it may be
found in the widespread interest in
segregation of the races in cities.
The plan of restricting Afro-Ameri-
cans to certain neighborhoods has
been adopted in many of the smaller
cities of the South, but Baltimore is
the largest city in which the plan has
been enacted into law.
Samuel L. West, who enjoys the un-
enviable distinction of being the au-
thor of the infamous West segrega-
ton ordinance, announces that he has
sent copies of his race segregation
law from the Atlantic to the Pacific
oceans. He says that there is a de-
.aand for information from every part
of the country and he is kept busy
sending copies and replying to ques-
tons about the working of the law.
The law works injustice to both races,
but West seems to glory in his in
fanny.

While much interest will naturally
be taken in the business sessions of
the coming Negro National Educa-
tlonal Congress as there will be some
OF the brainiest men and women of
the country there, yet the grand re-
ception and ball which will be given
at the Auditorium on the evening of
July 16, holds the greatest interest
from a social stand point, as it prom
ises to surpass either of the two
former occasions, when we have had
this, st. Pauls grandest and largest
place of public entertainment. There
are "A private boxes to be sold and
the large stage is to covered with an
immense waxed canvas for the
dancers.
Some of the people to whom THE
APPEAL is as regularly sent as it is
issued-and that is every Saturday
act as though they are under neither
legal nor moral obligations to pay for
it; when, as matter of fact, they
are under both. There is no law COM
polling any one to receive THE APP
PEAL, but there is law to compel any
one to pay for it who receives it, upon
the principle of law that one must
pay for anything he receives. Order
ing paper discontinued does not pay
any amount that may be due and I'M
paid, and the publisher has the right
to continue to send his paper until
whatever may be due for it is fully
paid; then an order to discontinue
must be obeyed. It is hoped that
every one who reads this, that is in
debted to the paper, will bring or send
to the office the amount due. Every
one who receives THE APPEAL is
expected to pay for it.

NOW, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF
THAT?

1t has been generally supposed that
no white man is ever punished for
anything he does to a black one in
the South. But get that idea out of
your mind. Away down in Alabama
a white jury has actually convicted
two white men of murder in the first
degree, for killing one black man; and
has given third one, connected with
the killing, life Imprisonment. And
that, too, in Jefferson county, where
for ten years it has been impossible
to convict anyone Of first degree MUIR
der. These murderers enticed the
black man to the woods and shot him
to death, and concealed the body. AS
their victim was only black man, he
was not missed, and although that
was about a year ago, it was only re-
Gently that the crime was discovered
1t was also discovered that the muir
derers had seven other killings to
their credit. Most of their victims
were shot from ambush, some for
grievances, others to close their
mouths; one for the purpose of rob-
berry and one Just for fun" Murder
in Jefferson county has been a weekly
incident for twenty years, and that
region became known as Bloody Beat
90 The good people of that COM
munity have just woke up, and as there
are more than a dozen prisoners in
the county jail charged with murder,
just deserts. To which we say, amen!

is LYNCHiNG A CRIME?

The question, Is lynching an acct
dent?" is to be thrashed out in the
Louisiana courts. The point came up
at Baton Rouge when the widow of
Frank Miles, an Afro-American, who
was lynched by Shreveport mob,
filed preliminary proceedings against
an insurance company. The payment
of a $500 accident policy is demanded.
The petition does not specify that
Mills was a victim of an accident, but
recites that he was found hanging
from the limb of tree in the rear Of
the base ball park with rope tied
about his neck"

in st. Paul of Minneapolis, that is free
from incumbrance and want a house
built on it, let Peters do it. If you will
call on him he can show you sixty
plans of houses ranging in price from
$500 to $4,000, and he will build any
one of these houses on your lot and let
you pay for it in monthly instruments
just like paying rent. Or if you don't
like any of his plans, he will gladly
draw one to suit you free of any ex-

money necessary to construct your
house with no down payment. There
are no extras on your building, no

Some folks insist that there is no
such thing as luck; we'll, what would
you call this: A woman in Milwaukee
charged with vagrancy, was awaiting
sentence, when she was notified that
she had been made heir to 100000
and an interest in three plantations in
louisiana Through her attorney the
charge of vagrancy was dismissed and
she started for New Orleans at once,
to claim her legacy. If that isn't luck,
what is it?

Lynching cannot be classed as an
accident. Everywhere in the South,
and in few localities in the North,
it is fixed policy to lynch Afro.
Americans charged with crime.
At the general assembly of the
Southern Presbyterian church, at
Bristol, Tenn, there were majority
and minority reports on marriage and
divorce. Both reports urged against
permitting polygamists to enter the
church, either in this or foreign lands.
No action was taken regarding the
thousands of Southerners who have
lived polygamous lives with Caucasian
and colored women. Many Southern
churchmen consider crossing the color
line in this way perfectly proper.

Twas a very grateful and graceful
act the presenting to Captain Arthur
H. Rostron, of the steamship Carpa-
thia, the draft for $4,000 at New York
last Monday. And it was equally
graceful for the gallant captain to say
in accepting the gift that whatever
success came to him in the part he
had played in the Titanic tragedy, was
due to the loyalty of his crew. This
shows that his heart was in the right
place.
