Senator Walsh has been obeying
the orders of the Senate in making
a searching investigation for the
lobby that defeated the shipping
bill, but withaut results. It is very
easy to cry "lobby” wheu legisla
tion gets into trouble, or becomes
unpopular, aod this is the second
time this excuse has been put for
ward during the present adminis
tration. Senator Walsh’s investi
gation appears, however, to have
proven that the shipping bill was
defeated by public sentiment, since
it has been detetmined that the best
part of the public press aud a large
part of the Senate, irrespective of
party, opposed the legislation for
the simple reason that it was nLt re
garded as being to the best interests
of the countiy. The bill might have
gotten by had H not been regarded
as a stepping stone to government
ownership.

" A GOVERNMENT INVENTION”
Newspaper readers found it inter
esting when they were told that oue
of the laculty of the bureau of mines
had discovered a process by which
"independent refiners can increase
their output 200 per cent ” Howev
er it appears that the Standard
Oil Company had been using a
similar method for years, and
have spent great sums ot mon
ey in developing their piocesses.
T h e "government invention” is
like most of such claims inasmuch
as nothing is suggested except a
sort ol subterfuge by which the in
dependent oil companies might es
cape prosecution for inlriugiug on
the methods of the Standard.
THE BENHFITS TO SHIPPERS
“ Do you know that a manufact
urer in Burlington, Iowa, can ship
his goods to New York, load them
on a steamer, and send them around
to San Francisco by way of the
Panama Canal, at a cheaper rate
than t would cost to ship direct by-
rail,” was the double-barreled infor
mation given to a newspaper man
by an official a few days ago. Yet it
is true,and the illustration serves to
