MORE LOBBYING.
The Commoner: In 1913soon af
ter taking office. President Wilsoi
electrified the country and started :
stampede out of Washington, when lu
charged that the capital was iniestci
by an "insidious lobby" which he wa.
determined to smoke out. The hegir:
which followed this presidential warn
ing left Washington hotel men t
mourn the god old times. There wa
naver before such a hustling to get
out of the City of Magnificent Dis
tances.
But the "insidious lobby" of 191
was a negligible force in comparison
with the more insidious lobby which
now infests the capital. The lobby
which challenged presidential atten
tion in 1913 and which fled before thi
sconrgc which the White house
brought into view was frankly sel
fish. It was there merely to get all
that was to be had for the railroad;
for steel, for sugar, for glass, for shi;
yards, for powder mills, for gun fac
tories, for lumber and for all other
pets of privilege which republicanism
had been nurturing for so many
years.
The hotel business in Washingto:
was never so poor as it was in 191.'
and 1914. But it must be improvin;
now. For there is another and a?
infinitely more dangerous lobby in
festing the capital of the nation to
day. It is a purely "patriotic" lobby
a lobby which has wrapped the flaf
about it. a lobby profoundly concern
ed over the welfare of the nation an
the perpetuity of ouY sacred institi:
tions, a lobby which is in deadly fea
of some imaginary foe. a lobby tha
thinks in terms of air ships, subma
rines, dreadnaughts, 16-inch guns, tor
pedoes, shells, a huge standing arm;,
and a navy greater than a Hobso
ever dared to propose.
Even the railroads when carrying
forward their successful campaign
to force the government to permit an
increase of freight rates, flooded the
mails with no such a deluge of liter
autre as that which the Preparedness
lobby is today disseminating. Never
before in the history of the country
has an equal activity in any behalf
been witnessed. Evidently this lobby
is richly endowed. It is magnificently
organized. It is splendidly equipped
And it is carrying forward its work
with a thoroughness and with an in
difference to the cost which may wel'
challenge the curious interest of the
American people who are being asked
to approve of vast expenditures on the
"national defenses," the implication
beinj that our shores are menaced by
some powerful oppressor.
The ramifications of this lobby ara
widespread. Scores of leagues, so
cieties, clubs and associations have
been formed to push particular phas
es of the general campaign. There
are national security leagues, national
rifle associations, national aereo club
and national organizations of various
sorts designed to arouse the country
to some impending peril and to brinf
it to a realizing sense of what is ex
pected of it in the way of funds for
buying battleships, cruisers, dread
noughts, submarines, destroyers, air
craft, powder, war material and equip
ment and for the increase of army anil
navy to a war footing in a time of pro.
found peace. Schools, churches, po
litical organizations, the magazine and
newspaper press, chautauquas. the ly
ceum, everything which contributes
to the molding of public opinion,
being utilized by this lobby as far ns
possible in spreading the gospel of
preparedness and in dragooning popu
lar sentiment into an acceptance of
the fantastic notion that preparation
for war is a guaranty of peace.

MISFITS
A' bright man said:
If a man kan't laif there is sum mis
lake nude in putting him together
and if he won't laff he wants as mutch
keeping anay iron) as a bear-trap
hcn it ii sot.
While we have to face facts in this
world it is a poor plan lo have a
grouch in it.
A smile comes as natural as a yell
.it a football game, and there's no ex
cuse for not giving it.
The person who starts out to run
everybody else in the world or growl
is travelling a mighty thorny path.
The biggest life is the one spent for
the happiness of others.
Wouldn't give .1 jitney for a person
who carries a coffin around in the
mouth.
Nothing like a good movie for re
laxation. For ten cents one can see what costs
hundreds of dollars, with chunks of
fun thrown in.
Why arn't you whoopinu up sales-
