II occurs to us that the railroad lob
by ought to provide some sort of Il
home for statesmen who serve il faith
fully and are turned out to grass by
the people. Missouri is dotted with the
political graves of men who served
the railroad lobby in the place of the
people. y very bad feature is that
the lobby, after d~ebauching = public
official, refuses to give him shelter
when ne fees from the wrath OF the
people. This is ~Ingrateful. to say the
least. When Il public official ignores
his constituents and serves the corpor-
ations. the latter should remember him
with gratitude in the days OF his ad-
versity.
But no one eve heard OF gratitude
on the Prrt of a corporation lobby.
An official is used until the people re-
pudiate him and then he is dropped
like a lennon with all the juice
squeezed out of it. The lobby neither
knows nor cares anything about the
future OF officials who serve it. Nat
urally a shrewd lobbyist despises the
men who serve him, and when their
mission mas been performed he don't
care if they starve to-. death -Jeffer-

LONGEVITY OF PRESIDENTS.
An Experts Figuring on Their tx
pectation of Life.

The Washington correspondent of
the ''Times-Herald" has interviewed a
life insurance agent on the compare
tive longevity of Presidents of the
United States. This expert finds that
the average age at Inauguration was
80 years, the average expectation of
life seventeen years. and the actual
after-life only fourteen years. From
this he reasons that the presidential
Office i becoming too heavy a burden
for any nan to assume without al
most certain shortening of his life"
This expert is especially wrought up
over what he thinks is the startling
contrast between the longevity of the
early Presidents and the later ones.
and he Is led to fear that he will never
again see a President survive the full
period of his natural expectation"
The table which this expert has pre-
pared Is OF more interest and value
than his croakings. and is well worth
studying. Il i As follows:
