The husband can be arrested and prose
cuted criminally if he fails to support his wife
needing such support, but matter how
wealthy she is or how sick or poor he is. she is
not SO liable
The personal property OF the wife is as.
eessed against the husband, and by the new
income tax law he must report and pay tax on
the income OF his wife.
If she commits crime while In his pres
ence it is presumed that he coerced her TO do
so. and he will be presumed guilty and she not

Surely, these are mighty statutes to plead in
vindication OF mans chivalry and Justice, and
must go far to Offset the long years of selfish
injustice In which he oppressed the woman.
Nor can DR.. Shaw and her brilliant colleagues
plead that these man-made laws were made by
the fear and compusion of womans rapidly
approaching suffrage.
For be it remembered that these laws have
been for some years on the books, and that
ten years ago it would have been difficult
to find even q comparative handful of men in
this country who regarded woman's suffrage
either probable or possible! There are
many who do not think even now.
I myself longtime committed and
earnest suffragist I wish woman to have her
ballot and all her rights, but wish her, for
her own sake and for ours. to come into her
rights without bitterness or injustice to men, or
In ignorance OF his later generous CONCESSIONS

This would seem to settle the question.
Grant this major premise and the conclusion OF
public morality as founded on private veracity

1t is true probably that mutitudes of women
who promise do not fulfil In obedience the
pledge made at the altar. How many women,
or whether the majority OF women do, neither
DR.. Shaw nor anyone else could say. But DR..
Shaw cannot deny that multtudes Of women

Merit SYSTEM IS
FAVORED FOR
Police


Meeting for the second time since
their appointment and qualification.
the members Of the civil service COM
mission Of the fire aud police depart
ments turned their attention to the
police department last night. and. as
sisted by Deputy Sheriff Rose. who
was present at the meeting, they oh
tanned a quantity of information re-
garding the conduct OF the force and
the system In vogue there before the
commissioners adjourned.
1t was the deputy sheriff who, fur
nished this information in reply to
questions directed to him by the
members Of the commission, and the
upshot Of the interrogatories was the
unequivocal manner in which the
commissioners endorsed the merit
system" by which dutlful officer
is assured of advances in office and
salary, and q negligent one his re-
lease from the service.
Deputy Sheriff Rose agreed to pre-
pare q general report on the condl-
ton of the force at this time, its pres
emit deficiencies as he sees them and
the requirements Of the department,
which report he will present to the
commissioners at their meeting next
Wednesday.
Many subjects reating to the po-
lice force were brought up. such as
an officer carrying firearms, police
alarm systems, ETC., all OF which will
probably be discussed at greater
length at future meeting.
Because the commission Is new in
Honolulu, consequently without local
presidents, the members are advanc-
ing slowly in their work, desiring to
be certain of the merit of each step.
Explained Mr.. WRIT chairman Of the
commission and father of the bill in
the senate which established civil
service:
'.In our city civil service Is new and
therefore there are no precedents for
US to follow. We wish to make the
commission popular and to have 1t
known that what We are after b to
increase the efficiency of the depart
nents. reward the men for the work
when reward is due them. We wish
them to know that the good work they
do will not go unappreciated and un-
recognized.
1T will be necessary for US to have
rules and regulations to apply to the
two departments. These must be
made to fit local conditions. am
highly pleased with the work the
commission has so far done, and
have every confidence that II viii
prove a great benefit to the police
and fire departments"
