ministers have banded together in an
association and will work toward put

Japanese fetes. # 49,. -.
The majority of geisha girls in Ho-

to exist locally where the girls are
taken when young and instructed in
dancing and music. No definite in

FORT SKATERS
MUSICAL nights
TO BE

Music at Fort Shafter is to be ex-
tended.
Already the Aerodome has two big
musical nights, as the End Infantry
band plays concerts on Mondays and
Wednesdays at Z p. m. The post ex-
change officer, Lieut.. F. A. Cook, has
now arranged for an orchestra to play
regularly every evening, beginning at
7:15 p. m, and on Monday evening
they commence work. The End Infan-
try. after opening the amusement hall
at Schofield Barracks, had exception
ally fine orchestral music, the Sunday
evening performances being feature
of the post life, and it seems that now
at Fort Shafter they are to have a
similar pleasure. At present the or
chestra will be made up Of Fred Bates,
violin; Charles Radcliffe, cornet; Paul
Arndt, trap drums, and Francis Leigh,
piano; and from such combination
may be expected fine work It is in
tended to give wide range of music,
and the Fort Shafter people will have
a marked attraction now at the even
ing shows.

In a Motor Driven Plant

Here is a woodworking plant that
is driven throughout by westinghouse
Electric motors. A plant like this Is
the best argument in favor OF motor
drive.
Notice that each machine has its
individual motor. Which means that:
1. Overhead belts and line shafts
are practically eliminated
2. Each machine can be placed
just where you want it.
3. The machine consumes power
only when in use
4. Its speed remains constant be-
cause there is practically no belt slip
page
As a result of the first point you
get clear overhead, better light,
greater safety to employees, and di-
minished fire-risk.
The second means that you can ar
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1915-01-27

range your machines according to the
demands OF production and that you
greatly reduce the time and cost OF
handling lumber. You can also use
floor space to better advantage.
On account of the third. you are not
spending money in turning idle shaft
ing, thus wasting from 30 to so per
cent of the power you pay for.
The fourth means that you get
greater production and better quail
ity of product, since every change IN
speed means variation In your sur.
face.
These points taken together mean
that the use of Westinghouse Electric
Motors permits you to earn greater
profits.
Apply this same line Of reasoning
to any plant.

signatures of George M. LaMonte as
chairman. Colonel George Harvey, At
torney General John W. Wescott,
Judge Frederick Adams, o. s. Senator
William Hughes, Congressman J.
Thompson Baker and others, is remark
able in that it represents the verdict ar
rived at by these men after a thorough
consideration of the arguments pro and
con on the suffrage amendment. Their
statement vas issued after two private
meetings and an investigation Of GER
tain ~anti-suffrage statements.
On the committee are. in addition to
those mentioned, the Hon. Ernest R..

The statement issued by this commit
tee, of which Champlain L. Riley of

Condit of Essex Fells. treasurer, reads
as follows:
LAS American citizens we believe
that popular government is the best
means of insuring the welfare and hap
piness of the citizens of this country.
The possession of the power of repre-
sentation by different classes in the
community tends to secure justice for
all, and since we agree that women are
people, We believe that they are enti-
tied to representation equally with
men.
"Wonlen as mothers of the race, wo-
men as taxpayers, ome as subject
to the law, are most closely concerned
with all problems of government, ques-
tions of peace and war, the cost of liv-
ing and the care of the rising genera
tion.

POINT WELL TAKEN.

Last year the Illinois legislature
voted to found a colony for ~epileptics.
In a number of states these are al
ready well established institutions. A
home for these u~nfortunates is neces-
sary, but why did we not likewise ten
years ago establish a hospital for those
wounded and MANNED in the insane
celebration of the Fourth of July? In
stead, we instituted the ane Fourth
and almost completely did away in a
decade with any need of medical care
whatever for our celebrants. Alcohol
as a drink must go. 1t is an economic
absurdity.-Charles F. Read, M. D., ILL

LEADING ECONOMIST
STRONG ADVOCATE OF
EQUAL SUFFRAGE

New York.-Henry R. Seager, pro-
fessor of economics in the University
of Columbia and president of the
American Association For Labor Leg
islation, has come out strongly for suf-
frage.
In a letter to Miss Eva Ward of the
New Jersey suffrage press committee
he says:
women are being forced into indus
trial life in large and increasing num-
bers. They face the same hardships
and disadvantages that men face. 1t
is unreasonable and unjust to bar them
longer from participation In political
activities. This Is all the more true be-
cause the things which government
undertakes are increasingly things with
which women are ever more concern
ed than men. Education, sanitation,
public transportation, are all questions
which know no sex line. Those wom-
en- who wish to vote should be allowed
to at once; those who do not wish to
should be educated up to the point of
desiring to take their share of this as
of other portions of the common lot.
81 believe that, entirely aside from
any good that women may be able to
do the body polite, they need the larger
concern for our common interests that
full participation in political life car
ries with it. To argue the matter, as
many do. as though women still lived
the clustered, protected life that they
were once supposed to is to ignore OBJ
vious aspects of the present situation

anomalous, unjust and undignified.
Throughout the west representative
men bear witness to the benefits de-
rived from equal suffrage, and we are
unable to believe that the women of
New Jersey are in any way less capa-
BILE or less praiseworthy.
1.-THE evidence from the states in
which women have voted goes to prove
that with the possession of the ballot
women are more fairly treated under
the law. the working woman is better
protected and social and moral i'm
provement is accelerated.
1--WE believe that the men of New
Jersey are prepared to show their be-
lie, in their women as fully as the
men of the western states have been,
and we appeal to III fellow voters to
express this confidence by voting In
the affirmative on Oct. 10.
st is no longer denied that woman
suffrage will shortly be established
throughout the United States, and as
New Jersey men we are anxious that
our state should be the first in the
Ell. st to raise the political status of it's
women"

AS LIQUOR SELLER SEES IT.

Being Interviewed by a newspaper
reporter OF the subject of prohibition
one which is on everybody's tongue
Barney Grogan, a well-known Chica-
go liquor dealer, had this to say:
IF they voted the wet-dry question
In Chicago some Sunday morning the
whole city would go dry. It's the men
and women who are wet personally
who will finally decide the issue. They
are Hopping about and will try it as
an experiment. Maybe they will go
back-maybe not. They don't know
exactly where they are at-especially
the morning after pay day. But the
prohibition wave is getting bigger
every day"

LIQUOR TRAFFIC A PERIL.

Prohibition is inevitable in this
country, says the Boston Advertiser.
With practically the whole world con
ceding that alcohol is a bad handicap
to any nation, and that the abolition
of It's use means a healthy¬ an
artificial-increase in the efficiency OF
the average producer, public senti-
ment in this country is going to wipe
out the saloon, just as 1t has wiped
out such %nuisances Ii the polluted
public or private water supply, or the
manufacture of poisoned foods or en-
balmed meatstuffs. They we're abol-
ished because they were a danger to
national safety and efficiency. And
the saloon is certain to be abolished
In precisely the same way and for
precisely the same reason
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1915-10-16

The extension of m suffrage
from one neighboring state to an
other in the west disproves alarm
lists and reactionary anticipations
of It's working, and shows that
equal suffrage is in harmony with
American institutions. The enfran-
chisement of more than $500, 900 wo-
me in the western states renders
a continued observation-disclosures of
the women of the eaSt increasingly
anomalous, unjust and undignified.
Throughout the west representa-
tive men bear witness to the bene-
fits derived from equal suffrage,
and we are unable to believe that
the women of New Jersey are in
any way less capable or less praise
worthy.
