In Wisconsin Governor La Toilette
has attempted to recognize the rights
and useful purpose of the legitimate
lobbyist in providing for an open hear
ing before committees for everyone
who cares to lobby and placing the ban
upon the secret lobbyist only.
There is no question but what these
three governors have opened fire upon
very large and growing evil. one that
menaces all legislation. The profess

legislation as proposed by Governors
La Folletee and Herrick or by indirect

the Iowa legislature have seen the pro-

open for employment or soliciting the
chance to sell legislation to anyone.

is no worse than other states, and not
half as bad as many, hence it is likely
that each of these governors have gone

hope Of us all that the triumphant bark
of their coon dogs will be heard before
the hour grows very late.

wake UP and end "the senatorial

there is quite a sentiment here in Iowa

SHAW EXPLAINS THE PAROLE.

Secretary Shaw once governor OF
Iowa was in Des Moines Friday. The
trial of Tom Dennison was in prog
ress at Red Oak and very naturally
the newspaper men asked Shaw why
he paroled Shercliffe The secretary
replied: The facts as to the Sher-
cliffe parole are known to every per-
son who desired to know the facts. He
was paroled without reference to pol
itics, or personal friendship. He had
come within two years of the end of
his sentence, and had earned five
years Of good time. He promised to
forfeit his good time, if he should vio-
late the conditions Of his parole. 1
had turned down the request of such
men as Mcmillan, Baldwin and others
of my good friends and paroled Sher-
cliffe after Judge Hubbard had with
drawn his request for the parole and
urged that Shercliffe be retained in
prison.
The secretary is entitled to his own
explanation but there will still remain
some ugly questions unanswered. If
the parole came after II had turned
down the request of such men as Nc
MILAN, Baldwin and others" how did
it happen that Mr.. Mcmillan could ne
gotiate with Dennison for securing
the parole for $4,000 and deliver the
goods? Mcmillan was a United States
district attorney and is yet. He had
been chairman Of the state central
committee. He admits receiving the
$500 and Dennison's expense ac-
count shows It, In all charity to Ex-
Governor Shaw no one believes the
money Influenced him. 1t must, then,
have been politics or McMillan's pull
with Hubbard.
II the parole came without refer
ence to politics or personal friend
ship how did 1t happen that Judge
Hubbard should write II suppose
there is no doubt that he is guilty Of
the crime charged but Dave says he
has been punished pretty we'll now,
and that 1t will be worth three or
four hundred votes to him (from the
relatives of Shercliife) If he can be
paroled?"
II there were no politics in IT how
strange that Hubbard should speak of
Dave who helped pass our bill for the
settlement Of the Sioux City and Pa
cific indebtedness? 2" And then how can
we account for Hubbard's remark In
his letter Dave was SO kind and help
full to me in Washington last winter
that am very ANXIOUS he should be
gratifed by the parole
If there were no politics or personal
friendship In this parole, and the ex-
governor says there was not, was the
wiley Hubbard a fool or was he
drunk when he wrote that letter? No
one now living ever yet has accused
Judge Hubbard of having been in either
condition Of mind. When 1t Is remem-
bered that Mcmillan, Baldwin ct al
were turned down by Governor Shaw
with a fiat refusal to grant the parole
and afterward that Mcmillan for
$4,000 negotiated to deliver the parole,
Judge Hubbard wrote his letter and
the parole did come forth it would
seem charitable toward Governor
Shaw to believe tnat it. was politics
and personal friendship and nothing
worse that Influenced him in extending
executive clemency to so notorious a
criminal. The fact that the prisoner

the PRESIDENTS SPECIAL TRAINS.

Every time president of the united
States makes a railroad journey there
Is more or less criticism Of the fact
that railway managers vie with one
another In offering free use of special
trains for the nations executive. SO
acute has become the struggle between
president Roosevelt and the railroads
over the question Of freight rate reg.
ulation that 1t is announced that the
president has decided to hire his spec
ial trains hereafter at his own expense.
However, every president that has ever
rraced the White House has used
special trains as courtesy from the
railroads, at least ever since there
have been any railroads with special
/ trains to offer, and none have felt that
they were compromising themselves
Z thereby.
General Passenger Agent Lynch. of
the Big Four, throws some new light
on the question when he says: THE
popular idea is that the railroads de-
Z
sire to cater to the federal administra-
ton. AS a matter of fact the real rea-
son is q business one. The railroads
do not carry the president OF the
United States in special train over
], the country for fun, for glory or for
advertising purposes. but because the
chief executive may not be carried on
q regular train as it would handicap
the general operation of the road and
work a, hardship on the travelling pub
lic."
Mr.. Lynch explains further that mo
regular train could possibly adhere to
Its schedule were the president on
board. The fact that he was pas
senger could not be kept secret. and
at every station and crossroads there
would be a crowd demanding to see
and hear him make a speech There
would be delay Of ten or, fifteen min
,utes at every station and every other
passenger on the train would be great
ly inconvenienced-p prevented from
keeping business engagements at their
destination; reaching the bedside of
sick relatives or friends, and being UNI
able to fill appointments requiring
q them to be at certain place at a GER
tain time. The presidents special
train inconvenience no one. and the
roads would, rather go to the expense
Of running a special train free than
subject the travelling public to the
annoyances unavoidable if the presi-
4 dent were carried on regular train"
All of which is very plain to the aver
age person when explained.
However, it is much more than likely
+ that Mr.. Lynch would admit Some
advertising advantages in presiden-
i tial tour over his road If pressed on
the point The roads are too eager for
the honor of the presidents Journey,
they send out to the newspapers an
nouncements of the elegance OF their
equipment and details of precaution-
airy arrangements on stationery too
finely engraved to Justify a complete
denial of any advertising benefit. Yet
General Agent Lynch has given a very
plausible explanation of why the presi-
dent is never allowed to travel on a
regular train. If the truth We're known
the secret service detectives could also
give a good excuse for never allowing
the president of the United States to
travel in a day coach.
