PEOPLE MUST

CT MASSMEETING

The arrangements for the mass
me citing which is to be he'd at Aala
Park on the evening Of March 18th,
at which time the plans for securing
for Honolulu a modern form OF city
government, are making rapid head.
way. and the committee which was
appointed by the Palama Improvement
Club 10 have charge of the affair is
now busying itself with selecting the
speakers for the evening.
Adopting the slogan The People
Must Rule" the committee has taken
the first step towards centralizing the
powers of the government of the city
of Honolulu Ii is felt that nothing
can be accomplished to better the
present local conditions unless some
thing is done to change the present
form of city government, and, to quote
from one of the members of the COM
mittee i, this change cannot be
brought about unless the people favor
it." In order that the people be in
formed as to what they are voting for,
and in order to present the plans of
the people, it was found that the best
way in which this could be accomp-
lished would be through the medium
of public mass meeting.
AS the plans now stand, the present
legislature, will be asked to provide
for the holding of special election
by the people of the City and County
of Honolulu for the purpose of elect
ing committee of fifteen freeholders
to draw up a charter along modern
zines for the city. This charter will
then be submitted to the people, at an
election, for their approval In case
the charter is not approved. it will
be the duty of the said committee to
continue to draw up charters until
one is made which meets with the ap-
prevail of the people.
Another plan is that which calls
for a petition to the legislature to
Immediately give over to the city of
Honolulu the control of its own
streets, waterworks, and the privilege
of issuing its own municipal bonds
for improvements.
The meeting on the evening of the
twelfth will commence at ,seven
O'clock, with George r. Carter in the
chair. There will be several speeches
and the Hawaiian Band will be in at
tendance from seven until eight
O'clock.

ANTI-SUFFRAGE PARTY is ACTIVE
IN OPPOSING Votes FOR women

II Is self evident that woman's SUI.
frage is gaining a firm foothold In
the United States and while many
women are struggling for the votes
and are parading the streets. waving
banners and very nearly becoming
militant. there is another class that
holds anti-iuffrage meetings. One Of
the most active OF these women IS
Miss Minnie Bronson Of Philadelphia
At a recent meeting of this organiZa-
ton Miss Bronson delivered IN all
dress that brought many converts 10
the anti-suffrage marty. In her adj
dress she said: There are no women
truer TO their sex. none who believe
more earnestly in the ability OF the
women of this country to mold its des-
finy and to conserve it's strength THAI
the anti-suffragists.
In giving one of her reasons for he
ing OF the anti.suffrag igt PARTY she
said that she believed that the ma
iority OF women of the United States
knew what they wanted and knew bet
ter how to get this and how to carry
on the work that they have to do. than

the ballot. She said thnt this small
percentage Of women readily acknowl-
edge that they are helpless 20 mold

that has been given them unless they
forsake woman's work and adopt the
work of the men. They want to leave
the home and go ont into the world
to work: manv Of them wish to hold
prbIic offices. They acknowledge that
man is superior to women and that
woman can only be made his equal
when she is given tho vote and Is nj
lowed to compete With him IN every
way.
Miss Bronson quoted Hannah Moore,
who was one of the pioneer women
who worked for equal rights. She
said: Women should he trained to
cooperate with man and not become
his rival. or to struggle for his pow
err" Miss Bronson conveyed the idea
that she believes this to be th
point of view. but she denounced tho
idea of irving to baeome mans equal.
for she believes that woman has a
great work to accomplish as man
has. She said: 1--WE believe in our

WORKING FOR
BENEFIT OF
PALAMA

The members OF the executive COM
nittee Of the Palama Improvement
Club were the guests Of James A. Rath
AT dinner last evening, following which
the regular business meeting of the
club was held. Those present were
Harry Aud, president: John c. Lane.
vice-president; S. X. Fukamura, treas
urer; Spencer Bowen. secretary; Noah
Aluli, Perley L. Horne and James A.
Rath.
The greater part Of the business con.
sisted of the discussion Of a definite
policy for the club TO follow in Sc
curing several much-needed improve
ments for the Palama Settlement. The
first question which was brought up
was that concerning the paving OF
King street between River and Liliha
streets. This section Of the city has
been in q very poor condition for some
time past, especially in the winter
time when the rains cause the streets
to be filled with mud. 1t Is thought
by the members of the club that this
condition could be done away with IL
the street were properly paved. There
hood which are sadly in need of re-
pair in the way of paving and lights.
1t was decided to present the matter
of the repair of these lanes to the next
meeting of the new board of supervis-
ors. Some of the lanes which were
mentioned at the meeting as being in
a bad condition were Parker, Webb,
VOTERS, Pua, Aud and the three Nor.
ris lanes On account of three lanes
having the name of Morris there has
been some confusion in the distribu-
ton of mails in that vicinity, and the
club, will endeavor to have the streets
Renamed. A few of these lanes need

of filling in the lowlands along Kukul
street was also taken up. This Sec

rainy weather sets in and forms an ex-
cellent place for the breeding Of mos
quitoes and flies. This could be rene

of the district. In some parts Of the
district families live in the center OF
the blocks in which the only exit is
through narrow lanes. In case of fire
these blocks would be, turned into fire
traps with only one or two small exits.
The Paiama improvement Club will
seek the cooperation of the new board
of supervisors in striving to remedy
all of these needs. AS far as santa
tion is concerned, the district is in
much better condition than 1t was
three months ago due largely to the
work of the club. Following the meet
ing, those present adjourned to the
club room where they listened to
brief lecture by DR.. Wilcox, of the fed
eral station, concerning scheme for
improving the living condition of the
people Of the district.
