While playing on the field in
Chicago between halves, most of
the band wore gloves because of
the miserable cold. (Even the
football players wore gloves in
that game.) The clarinet players,
however, could not play with
gloves on. As a result, four or
five of them esme off the field
with frozen fingers. One of them

Down With Lobbyists?
FROM Salem comes a protest against lobbyists. A bill is to be
introduced, which would bar such wicked gentry from
state house committee rooms and corridors. An aroused pro
ponent of the measure deplores the fact there are now more
lobbyists in Salem than legislators.
"Down with them and out with them!" is his motto.
Easier said than done. Moreover, if all lobbyists were
expelled from Salem, the legislators would be the first to com
plain, and when the consequences of such action were clearly
understood, they would be supported by public opinion.
For in any legislative session, lobbyists are not only desire
able but necessary. If there were no lobbyists the representatives
of the people would demand them.
FOR what is a lobbyist f A lobbyist is a person, with a special
interest in promoting or defeating, a certain type of legis
lation, which vitally concerns him, or those he represents.
True, the lobbyist may represent the Southern Pacific or
the Power Trust, the oil companies or the commercial fishermen.
On the other hand, he may represent, higher education, the
State Parents and Teachers Association, the Taxpayers league,
or the Grange.
We live in a democracy and under a representative form of
government. Every individual, in the state and every interest,
large or small, is entitled to representation, and has a perfect
right to be heard. As everyone can't go to Salem it is only
proper that those who can't should send a representative.
That representative is, in accepted parlance, a lobbyist.
....
HE IS, we repeat, necessary to good government. For he can
give the legislators what ' they need, information, the
viewpoint of a certain definite element in the body politic,
toward any specific bit of legislation.
That information may be incorrect, it may be self inter
ested, but if balanced by similar information on the other side,
the legislators, can easily determine its character.
....
IN FACT, the need at Salem is not for fewer lobbyists, but
more of them, particularly more representing, not any
special interest, but tho public interest. If we had our way
every community in the state would be represented by its own
lobbyist.
In the lobby system there is nothing wicked per se. It rep
resents aroused interest in legislation. It is the ABUSE, not
the USE of the system, thai is to be deplored.
Let the lobbyists be known, and properly identified; let
those resorting to improper or corrupt methods be treated like
any other crooks; give them one and all, their day in court,
a right to be heard, and the lobby problem will quickly be
solved to the satisfaction of all concerned.
Releasing Criminals
AST Sunday we commented upon the case of one Clyde
- Stevens, as a startlini; example of the abuse of the parole.
Stevens was first arrested at Pendleton, Oregon, only a fow
years ago. Soon released, he proceeded to hold up a chain store
in California. Arrested and convicted ho was sentenced to San
Quentin for from five years to life.
In loss than three years he was released on a parole.
In a few months he held up a bank in San Francisco and
in spite of a so-called police trap, shot his way out, with $(500
in his hip pocket.
Now it appears ho was the man who supplied the automatics
for the convicts who escaped
night after beating Warden llolohan insensible.
Yesterday he was caught after escaping to an island in the
Sacramento river about 50 miles
How long will it be before
parole!
The World Court
llfKEN U. S. adherence to

Now that the nerd no longer exists, at least not so acutely,
adherence will probably be voted.
As far as international affairs are concerned Uncle Sam has
an aggravating way of doing the
time.
When the history of this period is - written, we have no
doubt, the years following the
generally regarded as marking the low ebb of our international
policy and the low ebb of American idealism, a policy of
selfishness, cynicism and isolation.
Of course that war was responsible. The reaction from
expending in foreign lands, such blood and treasure, was to
rander any constructive political
ders, practically impossible.
When the memories of that sacrifice are less vivid, no doubt
the United States will assume that world leadership which its
high moral sense, power and prestige, warrant.
Hut from the standpoint of maximum benefit to the world
and to civilization the reformation will come TOO late.

Turkey and Russian Turktstan, H.
Wesover and C. R. Enlow, Agriculture
Department plant explorers, have re
turned to the United States with
nearly 1,800 lots of seed believed to
be clrough-reslstnnt.
Last summer's drought, with Its
frequent dust storms, emphasized the
need for more soil-holding plants,
for which these men searched. P. D.
Rlchey, chief of the Bureau of Plant
Industry, explained.
"Because of the unusually adverse
conditions for plant life where this
seed was collected." Rlchey said, "we
are hopeful that something of real
value for our Great Plains and the
Southwest .will be found in the col
lection." Most of the seed collections repre
sent grasses. or legumes which form
a thick turf close to the ground, en
abling them to bind the soil and
hold It against the ravages 5f wind
and water. Others represent shrubs
whose root ' systems loom promising
as soil-binders.
