main issue which the Governor raised concerning
the right OF the company to issue certain stock.
The courts decided that the company had the

Remove the Tabu

MODERN woman is ntoerant OF all re-
AVA strants. She wants all bars down and re-
sents any limitation of her rights as an individual,
She feels that she is entitled to go wherever man
is admitted. AS result of this impulse woman
is found in all lines of human endeavor bearing
her share of the burdens of the world.
And she also wants to share the privileges that
have for centuries been accorded to men. In many
States She has the right to vote and will not
give up her fight until this right is granted to
her sisters in all States. Woman is literally ham,
mering at all closed doors demanding entrance.
Woman is just wide awake in Honolulu as
her sister on the mainland The latest evidence is
an effort that is being made to admit women to
the dining rooms Of the Commercial Club Of Ho-
nolulu during luncheon hour. President Joseph E
Sheedy has issued circular to the members o.
the club asking them to attend a meetingjto de-
eide this momentous question.
