congressmen: and senators, but they
do' not represent the people esclnsiwe-
y. They must also- represent the
railroads, the manufacturers, public
utilities and private concerns in the
sense they represent all interests and
theoretically, must be fair to each.
Thus, the Ibhby at Washington gives
those who maintain it a double repre
sentation and that, too,, in legislation
of which they are beneficiaries.
The second evil of the lobby is that
it has been allowed to exercise its pur
poses and choose its methoiis widi a
free- and practically unrestrained
hand It is under no restrictions; what
ever in approaching members of con
gress, or in dealing- with them or any
body else with: authority or iniiuence;
except those that are automatically
imposed by prudence in proteirtinif
their work, from discovery and pub
licity. With this- free reign. he lobby
has naturally gone to extremes. It
has taken chances to secure its ends-.
At times bribery and other forma of
corruption have been reported to. In
fact in recent years and especially
when the tariff was up- for considera
tion, it has been one grand and mad
scramble for favors, and the means ta
secure thent was a master af small
consideration.
When President WJaon denounced
the lobby now seeking- ta ih2uer.ee fa.--'

ciable blow at a very grave and very ;
real eviL Incidentally he struck at
the general viciousness of the system
as we Bave outlined it and directly at,
its specilic activities at this moment.

railway economics, that cotton: has
been the moat srovenly handled of all
the agricultural products in the Cniid

exposed to he damaged by rain and
infiltrated by mud. All too- often, it is
loosely baled and improperly marked,
