A MANS VIEW OF IT.

Editor Honolulu Star-Bdlletin,
Sir:-The article in Tuesday even
ing's issue regarding proposed taxa
ton of territorial government en-
ployes of the gentler sex presents All
excellent plan. But why not tax ali
women who are employed anywhere
IN the Territory? 1t seems unfair 10
confine ourselves to territorial work
ers. If women unnecessarily insis:
On laundering around in a field where
they are largely useless and seldom
at home, they should be subject to the
same taxation as men. Its a poor
rule that doesn't work both ways
There are a number of married wo-
men in Honolulu whose husbands have
good positions which earn enough for
both. Yet they are working and in
doing so are preventing men with ram
lilies from securing their sorely needed
bread. This is no less than selfish
end should not be permitted. 1t would
be hard to believe, If they did not
refuse to support them. That al:
tude is foreign to Honolulu, we are all
proud in knowing.
Very few women are fitted for bust
ress and certainly small proportion
of those in it. It is also true that
few have to work but If only those
who had to be, were employed, We
would have very. very few in Homo
lulu. s
Z. The whole matter hinges on the I'M
willingness OF young men and particu-
larly young women to marry because,
of course, If more married, fewer wo-
men would work. The womaniy wo-
man in her heart would prefer mail
mony to single cussedness. So many
maidens get up on their high horses
and demand a rich or at LEAST a we.:-
TODD husband, or none, that the young
men become discouraged and in time
even cynical regarding the subject.
Again, some girls require too much
of the man they would care to marry.
Perhaps the greatest stumbling DOC.
in the way of more nuptial contracts
Is the sadly mistaken idea so preva-
lent among young men that they must
be able to make 1t possible for their
intended to have as many comforts
as her papa was wont to bestow. Rest
assured that If she really loves you,
she will be contents with what you
have. If she is not willing to sacrifice

PRIZES FOR SCHOOL

''One cake, loaf of bread, fancy pillow, fancy
apron, hemstitched handkerchief, three ears vel
low corn, three ears popcorn, quart of new wheat,

fies neither a church sale nor a county fair but
a school exhibit in county where industrial
work is recognized by regular training in the
public schools and rewarded by prizes at the end
of the year. The work is done at home under
the direction of parents as well as teachers, ac-
cording to information received at the United

al work of the public schools 1t means closer
connection than ever before between school and

The businessmen of this Indiana county

exhibit by furnishing prizes for the best prod

yiously, she cares less for you laan
the abundance, and. for your own sake,
don't Consider the wives of officers
sand non-commissioned officers In our
army. There's a whole regiment at
Schofield living in leaking tents and
the best accommodations at that post
are poorly built sheds. These women
are often separated from their hus-
bands for months, have to move hur-
riedly, can never be really settled and
are always subject to many inconven-
fences. If all our women were as self.
sacrificing, as generous. pleasant and
as happy as they, we would have more
marriages, less business ladies and no
taxation for women.
Another reason is the girls shrink
ing from motherhood, which indicates
a lazy mind and lazy BODY. Young
men and women, your greatest enemy
is the demon fear. You are afraid to
shoulder responsibilities which you
should consider duties; yes, you are.
Demolish this demon and let 1t be no
part of you. Remember that THE
band that rocks the cradle rules the
world" Far be 1t from me to belittle
our great men and women, but who
IS greater, grander. more beautiful and
nobler than a good mother! Mary
hath chosen the better part" said
Christ There is divine atmosphere
pervading a real home and nowhere
else can it be found. Particularly
here in Hawaii, we are all better off
married.
No womanly woman wants to WORK.
And business alters a girl immeasur-
ably. 1t tends to make her more or
less masculine and therefore less pop
ular with her male friends She Is
unconsciously drawn away from the
thousand little ways of pleasing those
around her and, so to speak. becomes
hardened. Her proper sphere is at
the head of a home, for head she is,
even il not in name. But If she is de-
termined to get into business, she
should be taxed. And why not tax
her on her income and on her rea:
property? The men are.
If the gentler sex continues to COM
pete with men in business, it will in
time mean a calamity and already it
has worked injuriously here. We all
know that a woman can live on less
than man requires and this fact viii
in time mean a reduction in salaries.
This is an old story in the eastern
states.
Let us hope that this contemplated
bill will become a law and thus tend
to discourage women in commercial
