WHITE REPEATS
BRIBERY $40 RY
Tells Investigating Committee
How He Was Paid to
Vote for Lorimer.

Chicago ILL.,, September 26.-Iessi-
roonv from state Representative Chas.
A. White, the first witness IN 'he IN
ouiry into the election OF unlteo
States senator William Lorimer' was
heard today by the Senate commit.
too Investigating the charges OF
bribery and corruption in the eiec-
ton OF the latter.
After hours of argument by the OPP
posing counsel, the committee lett ul-
determined the question OF the az
missibilIty of testimony relative to the
alleged Jackpot" an alleged tac
cumulated fund for the payment Oh
corrupt legislators for voting LOT OF
against certain bills in the limos
General Assembly.
Attorney Alfred S. Austrian, Iepie
senting the Chicago Tribune, which is
pushing the charges against the eiec.
ton of Senator Lorimer. contenoed
vigorously that the alleged paruc1pa-
ton Of legislators who voted for SEN
ator Lorimer in tn. spoils of the al
legged Jack pot" was pertinent ana
necessary to show a general corrup-
ton of the Legislature that elected
Senator Lorimer.
Attorney Elbridge Hancey. counsel
for Senator Lorimer, stoutly opposed
the admission of testimony relative TO
alleged brides that might have been
received by Legislators for their votes
on legislative matters apart from the
election OF a United STAKES Senator.
On the strict understanding that the
action was not to be considered q
precedent admitting the whole Jack
nOtP 9IlhiGrf Chairman
United White to answer some Of the
questions touching the Jackpot"
Tells of Bribery.
No objection was made by counsel
to the testimony of White that he had
received $1,000 from Minority Leader
Lee O'Neil Browne, Of the Illinois
Legislature, to vote for Senator Lor-
inner.
Representative White then declared
that he was met in the ST. Louis
Hotel by Representative Robert r.
Wilson. also a Democratic Representa-
tive. who paid HIM 5000 as his share
OF the "iack-pot." White detailed his
meeting with other Democratic legis-
lators in Wilson'S hotel room, and tes-
tilted that the payment was made to
him In the bathroom of the suite by
Wilson. who before that had conferred
with another of the legislators In the
same bathroom
His testimony was essentially the
same as given by him in the two
trials of Lee O'Neil Browne, who was
acquitted OF bribing White.
The committee would not permit the
witness at this time to relate the con-
versations which he said he had with
Representative Joseph Clark, of Van-
dalia, relative TO a third Representa-
tive, Michael Link, touching the al
legged bribery payments. White had de-
tailed tina he wrote hts story OF the
alleged bribery in the election OF SEN
ator Lorimerl in tho fall of 1900, and
added to 1t in the succeeding winter

Wilson touches the sore spot of the

Mr., Wilson mercilessly analyses the
corrupt alliance between the Repub.

II has fostered and served. "To break
up this alliance between the govern
nlent and private business is the Demo
cratic opportunity" said Mr.. Wilson,

inent shows how strongly the people
believe in FIR. Wilson'S battle cry.
But to break up a corrupt alliance
does not mean to destroy business
Big business means better things for
aus all, If the business is controlled by
the people instead of the people being
controlled by the business. The real
difficulty is that the corporations hide
behind the legal fiction that they arc
individuals without responsibilities, and
SO the public suffer with no redress for
wrongs except fines that always fall
on the innocent and never hurt the
guilty
Woodrow Wilson is wise enough to
know the difficulty in trying to make
corporations responsible without de-
stroying the value of incorporation to
the commerce of this country. I'VE
know that the man who shoots his
enemy was not in the gum, says Mr..
Wilson, and the gun is not criminally
liable" The point is to lind the man
that used the gun and make him re-
sponsible for his action.
Personal responsibility, the restora-

CAN THE SPEAKER DE AN OUT
SlDER:

AS a sidelight upon the recent alec
ton in Maine Of Asher c. Kinds, for.
merly clerk at the Speakers table in
the national house, to seat in that
body, a number of our contemporaries
have said that last winter when the
fight on Speaker Cannon was raging,
it was suggested that Mr.. Kinds be
made speaker in the event of the de-
position of the members from Illinois.
1t was declared then that in such
contingency MIR. Kinds could
be elected speaker, though he was
not then member Of Congress.
What authority is there for such
statement? a brief examination OF
the yoluminous work on Legislative
presidents compiled by Mr.. Kinds him
self affords no light on the subject
in positive way. In the second
volume of his work Mr.. Kinds says
THE Speaker is always a member of
never are If this be true, it seems
that were the Speaker to resign,
it would be illogical and Inconsistent
to put some one in his place who was
not member of the House. Further-
more, 1t is immemorial parliamentary
practice to select as the presiding off !
Ger some member of the body. While
the Vice-President is not member OF
the Senate over which he presides, his
case is exceptional. The fathers
felt that the Vice President must have
something to do to occupy his time
and justify his existence. and so they
thrust him into the Senate, He has q.
vote only in case of a tie; while the
Speaker always has a vote, by virtue
of his membership.
While the question Is an academic
one, it would seem very dangerous
precedent to set were an outsider pos
sibly chosen speaker. The House is
especially designed by our form OF
government to be responsive to the
public will. 1t follows that where the
people of a district are dissatisfied
with the conduct of their representa-
tive they can by the system of recur-
rent elections Dust him. 1t would pc
strangely inconsistent with the struc-
tural principles upon which the House
OF Representatives Is founded We're It's
presiding officer to be an outsider In
whose election the people had had no
voice and who would be thus indirectly
unrcsponsivc to the public will.

FEDERAL BUILDING site

Canvass of Honolulu business men
by the Bull etin in connection
with the suggested change of the
site of the Federal building clearly
demonstrates that the Governor. OF
the Territory and the Superintend-
ent of Public Works are lining them
selves up to defeat popular demands,
when they put themselves personally
or officially on the side of change
in the site or even countenance such
a proposition.
While II is true that this Is not
ex optional for an official of the Ter
ritory OF Hawaii the unjustihable po-
sition of these officers is evident.
Continued opposition on their part
means nothing but delay in the con-
struction of the building. Since the
disclosures of the last few days, we
believe they may be..held responsible
tpr;tiro extremely SLOW progress that
has been made toward construction.
Their personal or official opinions
will not be allowed to defeat the
wishes of the citizens of Honolulu,
however. and ought not to be allow
ed to retard the work on the build
ring. .l.s q"
Should there be any move to
change the Federal building site, the
people OF this city will go to courts
and TO Congress, should such radical
steps be necessary for bringing to
naught secretly-devised schemes for
defeating the popula' will.
II the Governor and the Superin-
tendent Of Public Works want to
work OFF some of their surplus ener-
gies in gaining what they think is a
great civic victory for the city OF
Honolulu, the thing for them to do is
to get out of Office and throw them
selves into the scrimmage created by
their, hobbies TO their hearts con-
tent. But to use their official posi-
ton, 10 fQist upon this city some
thing that is not wanted, is misuse
Of their. position II not betrayal OF
The confidence placed in them as SER
wants Of the people.
Public Office is a public trust, and
that applies to operations conducted
In private capacities.
/: Change Of the public building site
Is violation of good faith, and any
public Off ial who in auy capacity
lends himself to such a program fails
to understand his duty, besides sur
rendering high ideal for a mess oil
pottage.
