Y. NJ. c. A. OF THE FUTURE IN
LANU WHERE EAST MEETS WEST

Very impressive were the exercises
yesterday afternoon at the laying of
the cornerstones of the new Y. M. c..
A. building, when Judge Sanford B.
Dole, who was the first president of
the Honolulu Y. M. c. A., laid one
of the cornerstones, and little Clar-
ence Cooke, son Of C. H. Cooke and
grandson of the man who started the
new building fund with a contribu-
ton of $4,000 laid the other, with
his fathers assistances, Bishop Res
tarick of the Episcopal church, Rev.
DIR. Scudder of Central Union, and
Rev. DR.. Wadman of the Methodist
mission took part in the services, and
there was singing by the Central
Union quartet, consisting of Stanley
Livingston, Philip G. Hall, George A.
Brown and A. G. Wall.
President Trent presented a trowell
to Judge Dole, for the laying of the
stone. After completing his welcome
task, the judge made a few remarks.
He reviewed briefly the work of the
association. GAS for the future, The said,

"The new building is no longer than
needed. The qualification for mem
bership is in the hands of the Evan
gelical churches, and the field in Ho-
nolulu and the Hawaiian Islands is
broadening out, and it is proper that
tie qualification for membership in
the Y. M. c. A., should broaden out.
The association has work to do among
the young soldiers and with the
growth of the city the forces of evil
grow-the saloon, gambling and
houses of prostitution.
THE attitude of the Young Mems
Christian Association is that of a man
on solid footing who holds out his
hand to the man in the quicksands, a
light by which to find your way.
"Mr. President" added Judge Dole,
turning to Mr.. Trent, there are some
men in Honolulu who have helped this
association financially-whyn not open
the doors so they can ioin?"

L0RIMER BRIBERY DEBATE BRINGS
HARSH CRITICISM OF THE ACCUSED

WASHINGTON, January 1S.-After
almost a week of cessation, the SEN
ate today resumed consideration of
the case of Senator Lorimer. There
were two speeches, one by Senator
Burrows, chairman of the Committee
on Privileges and Elections, in sup
port of the Illinois Senator. and the
other by Senator Borah of Idaho in
opposition.
Burrows strongly commended the
course of Lorimer in demanding an
investigation. Borah declared that
corruption had characterized the
proceedings ever since Lorimer bad
decided to become a candidate for the
Senate
Both addresses were sharply analyt-
ical, and both went az length into
the testimony. Frequently they quoted
the same statement of witnesses, but
their deductions were widely at vari-
ance. The speeches resembled each
other in the fact that both denounced
the conduct of Representative White,
whose statement in a Chicago news
paper led to the investigation. but
while Senator Borah contended for
the probable truthfulness of his rev
Citations, as indicated by supporting
circumstances, the Michigan Senator
found nothing to sustain him or give
credence to his exposition.
The Burrows speech is the first that
has been made in Lorimers behalf.
Many opposing Senators have been
waiting for the presentation of the
affirmative side of the case, and it is
believed that the consideration will
now proceed expeditiously. There
are still many arguments to be heard
before a vote can be reached.
NO PROOF, SAYS BURROWS.
There is absolutely no proof, direct
or indirect, FROM which legitimate
inference could be drawn that a sin
gle member of the General Assembly
was corruptly Influenced to vote for
DJrimer." This was the conclusion of
Senator Burrows.
After summarizing the testimony of
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-02-02

Witnesses white, Link, Beckmeyer
and Holstlaw, Senator Burrows de-
clared that 1T is obvious there is
nothing in the statements Of any one
of them, or in the statements of all
Of them taken together, which would
justify a conclusion that their testi-
mony as to bribery is true, or could
be relied upon in a matter of even
minor importance"
Dismissing the matter of the in.
tegrity Of Senator Lorimer. Senator
Burrows related the details of the
inquiry into "the interity of the cleo
ton The testimony of Charles A.
White, a member of the Illinois Leg
islature, who wrote the first article
in the Chicago Tribune on April 80.
1910, charging bribery in the election
of Senator Lorimer, came in for
severe denunciation by Senator Bur-
rows.
He said: Whatever impression the
testimony of White may make upon
the Senate, to the committee the con-
victiOn was irresistible that if he told
the truth to the committee he was
devoid of all sense of honor or shame,
and was ready to make merchandise
of his position, violate his oath of
office, betray the people who trusted
and elected him and barter his vote
for anything to anybody who would
bring to him personal gain
BoRAH SCORES LORIMER.
Senator Boran followed Burrows,
contending that corruption had char

of the Elections Committee concern
ing the character of Charles A.
White, but argued that circumstances

circulated the Lorimer fund.

Blanchard sought to have the present

ground that the coloring and ingred-

were not as harmful as many others

There is still a disposition among
many of the local manufacturers to
raise objections to any change, and
the directors of some of the companies
have been called together to consider
the matter. So far, however, no open
hostility has been shown, nor any di
rect action taken. 1t is believed that
the majority of the manufacturers will

any trouble.

Buildings, including the laborers
houses, are built largely by the men
on the farm during days when they
could not be usefully employed on the
land.
The farm work is not regarded as
drudgery, and there Is an atmosphere
OF refinement about the home that In.
dicates wholesome life on the part
OF the family. The mother is well
preserved and vigorous, with no trace
OF overwork. though she has always
been active In the management OF the

the farm life, on the whole, has been
easier for her and more ENJOYABLE
than the life In the city. Every mem.
Der of the family is In love with farm
life.
They believe they have more op-
portunities in the way OF general cul-
ture gained by travel, etc, than would
have been possible for them In the
city. Socially they think there has
been no essential loss; in fact, Il is
quite probable that the farm life has

The city family had some very
problem on the farm. On every farm
the economical use of labor is one
OF the most serious problems in farm
ing. and the direct cause Of many
failures.
To begin with, the occupations and
labors OF the family were not ar.
ranged from the standpoint of eco
nomic results, but 10 train the chill
dren properly and TO make the home
pleasant. The children, from the
time they were old enough to per.
form any service have been required
ito do something for the profit or vel
fare OF the family before having any
breakfast"
The work done by the family in
the house was systematized in such
way that each member when old
enough assumed responsibility for
some of the work. At the presen,
time, one son makes the apple or
chard his speciality daughter is
responsible for the poultry; another
takes charge of the marketing and
bookkeeping. The latter is, By the
way, an important duty on this farm.
where everything is accounted for,
from the buying of new monkey
wrench to the selling of a herd OF
fattened cattle. The farmer can tell
just how he stands: where he loses,
how, and what on.
The mother does the cooking and
superintends the dairy; the father
looks after the whole farm, sees that
the crops are properly put in and cul-
tivated, and the stock well cared for.
Cooking arrangements are planned to
economic labor and make II as easy
as possible. Only the family live in
the farmhouse, as all laborers hired
are married men. employed by the
year. and who live In houses built
especially for their use.
Each laborer has one acre OF ground
for a garden, upon which he can land
most OF them do grow enough to sup.
ply his own table and leave some over
TO sell. They may keep as many
chickens as they wish, II inclosed.
Barn room and the necessary out
buildings for stock belonging to the
laborers are also furnished.
AS a rule these men have been re-
cruited from the factories, railroads
and mines. They may have been

not usually given on farms Ten
hours OF labor Is all that Is required;
for overtime work extra pay is given.
