Improvement In Honolulu as compared
with the rest OF the territory Is eSpe-

TO win we must keep up the same
hard battle that We have waged m
the past. however, said DR.. Sinclair.
"The fight must be carried on al the
more strenuously now that our efforts
are beginning to show success To
relax at this time would only mean
that all our work In the past would be
t1done.'
Following the report the league vot.

|BLocKAD1rG THE PATH OF PROGRESS.

| Another political campaign is coming along.
| It's signs are in the skies L. L. McCandless is
beginning to make an issue of the frontage tax
laws, condemning them as highway robbery, =
| and it seems evident that the same sort of a
fight will be made on this issue as was made
lduring the last campaign. !.
One-half Of the energy that Mr. cCandless
and others spend in cussing outn the front
lage4tax plan and trying to hamper and block
lit would do wonders for a bigger and better
Honolulu if used in the right direction s
The local improvement plan is here to stay.
ut is here because it is the logical plan and the
fright plan and the common sense plan of get
ting local improvements and paying for them.
LOT course some large property -owners object
to the scheme. They have to pay for all the
improvement that comes to their property in
stead of getting it paid for out of the city s
general funds.
It is mighty short sighted policy for men of
large affairs, for men of substantial businesses,
like Mr.. McCandlesss to be blocking, or. trying
to block, the city,s progress along the rocky
enough road of local Improvement. He and.
the men like him should be fighting for che.
city's progress instead of against it. They.
should be urging local improvements instead
of hampering them.
There is a law on the statute books of this
territory which declares that in Honolulu local
improvements shall be paid for under the
frontage-tax plan. That law will stand until
lit is broken in the courts or repealed by the
Legislature and there is no indication that.
either Of these things is going to happen to it.
Consequently, when Mr.. McC andless invokes

Anti Suffrage At
Congregational Church

One hundred persons took advan-
tage of the opportunity offered by
the Mems Club of the Grantwood Con-
gregational Church to listen to an
exposition of the views of promi
nent anti-suffragist of New Jersey,
Mrs. 0. d. Oliphant, secretary of the
New Jersey Association opposed to
woman's suffrage. Many had come
with the expectancy of hearing an
able presentation of the -suffragist
cause by Mrs. Kingsley, but she had
found it impossible to attend.
Mrs. ELEPHANTS presentation of the
anti-suffrage cause" was largely as
saultive of the pro-suffragist position.
She occasionally gave her hearers
glimpse of the ants mental attitude,
or platform, as for instance, when
at the end Of her remarks, she main
tanned that the host of women with
out the ranks of women's suffrage
DID feel the great heart throbs in the
world about them; they stood for the
increased perfection of woman in her
present role of home builder and pro-
moter; they were against the taking
of young women out of the home to
enter the ranks of business and in
dustry as mans competitor. "The
women who count" said Mrs. Oliphant,
"are the busy women of the homes.
In these days of conservation of the
great natural resources of the state
and nation, we should not forget the
need of the preservation of the wo-
man and the home"
AS for the rest, Mrs. ELEPHANTS
statements might almost have been
taken to be a lecture on prohibition,
the liquor industry, and the vice
traffic, of course, always with the re-
lationship, generally derogatory, of
woman's suffrage to these forces.
The much favored method of re-
producing figures and numbers of the
populations and election results of
vast communities under convenient
names, as Ohio, Illinois, Nevada, Cali
fornia, and other states, took up the
greater part of the speakers dis
course. For instance, Mrs. Oliphant
said that San Francisco, with a popu-
lation of 417,000 had more saloons
than Philadelphia, which was equal to
four San Franciscos in size, or than
Boston or Cleveland, fifth and sixth
cities of the United States, although
San Francisco was in suffrage state
and the other cities were not.
In California, the Knights of the
Royal Arcanum, liquor organiza-
ton, had stated that their interests
had not been hurt by women's votes
In Chicago, the candidates for alder
man in a certain district recently,
were lawyer, minister, business
man, a mechanic and a saloon keeper.
With the help of women's votes the
latter gentleman had been elevated to
office. In Montana, woman's suf-

be salaried up to the older ones. One
clause in the list of recommendations
must have created a smile. 1t was
as follows:
4. We feel that special assistants
for incompetent teachers should not
be employed for a great length Of
time; that is, for several weeks du-
ration.
The wonder in this is that "incom-
petent" teachers should ever be en-
ployed at all.
Gas and electricity must be used
more sparingly, and teachers remain
ing after hours must work in own
room.
Here is Mr.. Stark's resignation
which he personally presented:
To the Board of Education,
Township of New Barbados.
Gentlemen:-On February 9th last
four of your number declared public
! ly their opinion that "the best inter-
ests of the public schools of Hacken-
sack will be served by the resigna-
ton of Mr.. William E. Stark as Su-
pervising Principal, to take effect
June 80, 1915" In the public press,
on March 18th, the three candidates
who were elected to the Board of
Education at the recent annual school
meeting announced themselves as "un-
able to support the present incumbent
Supervising Principally or his meth
ods." These statements justify the
assumption that majority of the
Board, as it will be constituted after
reorganization on April 5th, desires
my withdrawal.
Under these conditions, have no
desire to retain my position, and, al
though | am protected by the perma-
nent tenure law, it is my present in
tention to withdraw at the end OF
the current school year. 1t is i'm
portant, however, in order to safe
guard my professional standing, that,
before l resign, the reasons for the
opposition of present and prospect
tive members of the Board be clear
ly established. l have therefore re-
quested the four members of the pres
ent Board, and the three members
elect, to furnish me with complete and
explicit statements of the reasons
which led them to take the positions
stated in the public announcements.
Yours respectfully,
WILLIAM E. STARK.
Funny part of this was that in
viting an explanation, nobody said a
word in reply.

Mr.. Hollinger's
Red Painted Face
Brings Him Trouble

1t was about six o'clock in the even
ing. The west bound 13Oth street
ferry was crowded. The Jersey COM
muters were tired and jaded. Sew
eral Palisadians boarded the boat and
dropped into several vacant seats.
Among them was that jovial friend
and neighbor, William M. Hollinger.
And thereby hangs a tale.
Mr.. Hollinger, as everyone knows,
spends considerable time making
photographs down in his studio in
Fifth avenue. On this particular day,
he had been very busy, and had not
happened to notice large red splotcn
of some Photographic chemical winch
he had gotten on his cheek during
the day. He said later that ne had
noticed people looking curiously at
him all the way from his studio to
the ferry, but he had not known then
that anything was wrong.
AS the party of Palisadlans sat
down. several of them twitted Mr.
Hollinger about his original face
ornament. By looking into one OF the
ferryboat mirrors he discovered his
nredicament, but, as is his wont, he
laughed heartily at the joke himself.
1T is curious" he said in talking
the matter over, chow conspicuous
one can make ones self by mere
daub of red paint"
A remark like that seems innocent
enough in itself, but as fate would
have it there happened to be slttlng
by Mr.. Hollinger a young girl all
painted and penciled up. She I'M
mediately thought he was talking
about her, and Mr.. Holllnger says tne
Iavinp-out she gave him would have
made a larger man than he blush.
He was telling the incident to sew
eral of his Palisade friends, and IN
closing said quantity: ~,
"Why, l didn't mean to make tne
girl feel bad. l wouldn't insult even
a painted woman!"

Edgewater Rolhckers
Give Oriental Fete

The most artistic and striking dance
that has been given this season about
the Palisades was the Oriental Dance
of the Rollickers of Edgewater last
week Friday night, at Edgewater
Borough Hall.
Chinese and Japanese costumes of
celestial blue and delicate canary, of
deep purple and bright carmine glided
around the hall about the persons of
the merry dancers.
The costumes themselves, it was
learned, were all made specially for
the occasion, from the color sketches
of Mr.. S. Wood Gaylor, artist. There
were many jet black queues in evil
dence under typical oriental headgear;
also flowing folds of hair that wer.
in most cases, far from oriental in
hue.
After the style of the famous Kit
Kat costume balls of New York, of
which the Rollickers' was faint but
faithful echo, the stage curtain was
lifted during the evening to display
characteristic Chinese festal scene.
Scenery for the occasion was made by
a few strokes of the brush of Mr..
Gaylor and his associates, notably a
rear curtain showing length of yell
low sea, and above it strip of
murky blue saw-edged mountains,
with black China landscape in the
foreground.
Attractive incidental music, and
spirited music for the dance were
furnished by Fenno's orchestra.
