WASHINGTON, December III. -
THE laboring man is the hope of the
country in the fight against the rum
traffic. declared John 3D. Lennon,
treasurer of the American Federation
of Labor, to the delegates at the an
nual convention of the Anti-Saloon
League of America here today.
Mr.. Lennon, who is delegate from
Illinois, caused a stir when he took
issue with Wilbur f. Crafts of the
national reform bureau, who had start
ed the fight against saloons must be
one of teaching people what liquor Is.
Mr. Lennon asserted the battle never
will be won, nor effective work ac-
complished, until the great army of
laboring men is taught what liquor
does. The greatest opportunity in the
field against the saloon, he declared,
was to be found in organized labor.
Liquor forces had boosted, said Mr..
Lennon, that as long as organized Ia
Dor stood back of them they had no
fear of the church. This combination
can be broken up, he said, just as
soon as Christian men and women be
gin to interest themselves in organ
lied labor,

made no further offensive demonstra-
lions.
Having by this time, however. partly
recovered my senses, realized the
nature of the creature by whom | had
been assaulted, which turned out to
be nothing but the stalk of a royal
palm tree, growing in the exact middle
of the sidewalk. It was some fifteen
feet high and as many inches in diam
eter, and was as good a specimen of a
tree trunk as l ever wish to meet, if
not better. Picking up the remains of
my hat, proceeded to further investi-
gate the matter, which became deeper
and more mysterious the more l con
sidered it. This trunk had no top
upon it, and was as bare as tele-
graph pole. It was nvc IN use as 4
means of support for anything. There
was nothing-save some pieces of my
scalp-attached to it.
Now, whence it's origin? Why was
it in the exact middle of the sidewalk?
Can it be a relic of some historical
event, carefully preserved by the city
fathers? No. this cannot explain it.
for there was no tablet upon it, nor
were there any signs of tourists having
taken samples of it; moreover, the
sidewalk was not widened to accommo
date tree and pedestrian both. Was It
banana tree in disguise, cleverly as
sumed to deceive our Board of Health s
most efficient headsmen? No, for the
4 top was already gone, and we have
reason to believe that that illusuious
corps never does anything by halves
There the tree remains, as solid and
stubborn a question for the heads VI
such of our townspeople as happen &C
walk about in the vicinity of the cor
ner of Hotel and Punchbowl streets
on a dark night, as ever grew.

A PLEA FOR NEGLECTED
AND ABUSED CHILDREN

- TGGA EOn NG0GGS 81
AND ABUSED CHILDREN
Editor Star: | notice that it has
been asked by writer in the Sunday
Advertiser, what is to, be done with
the destitute and the many depraved
children of Honolulu
But first / should like to say that
most people must have been amazed
to learn that such a deplorable state
of things exists in Honolulu.
And ! do not think anyone can read
of the suffering, misery and wretch
edness of these little ones without
feeling that something must be done
about it, and feel too that it should
be done quickly.
Indeed if the business men of Ho-
nolulu can raise 100000 in ten days
time for which to build a home for
the young men of the Y. M. c. A., who
are very well capable to take care of
themselves, there certainly ought to
be no trouble to raise a like amount
to build a home, and to take care of
these poor helpless children, and to
save them from a life of shame and
misery
Now, 1t may be a problem to decide
what is best to be done with those
children who have passed from under
the hands of the juvenile court, and
of those that have been discharged
from the reform or industrial school,
but there should be no trouble in de-
Gliding what should be done for those
unfortunate children who have no
homes, or have drunken and depraved
parents and whose homes are worse
than no homes.
The best thing to be done would
be to take these children in time and
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-01-01
THE VOICE OF The PEOPLE

so educate and train them that they
would never come under the hands of
the juvenile court, and this to a large
extent can be done if anyone would
undertake it.
If the business men of this city
would organize as they did in the
case of the Y. NJ. c. A. and send out
lot of men to collect funds for this
purpose, the thing is as good as done.
And | would like to ask what more
worthy object could they undertake,
or what could be more fruitful of good
results, than doing something which
would alleviate the suffering of their
young fellow mortals, and to help to
start them out IN the right direction
Indeed, if anyone has but a spark
of humanity in, his breast he can not
fail to feel for those unfortunate chill
dren, and desire to do something to
help them; as well as these still more
unfortunate child mothers.
do not say if such a home we're
made where these children could be
taught to earn their living and could
learn many other useful things, that
it would solve this problem, but it
would go long way toward it,
The question is, who will make a
start, or who will help the writer to
make a start in raising funds for this
most desirable purpose?
