If the state can get at the bribers
who are in the lobbying business
merely to learn the circumstances of
each member and to arrive at a guess
at his price it will do good Perhaps
a license system would work, every
man VINO goes on the floor of a legis-
lative hall to register before entering.
The people who are eternally hang
ing about legislatures would then in
time be spotted by this process. 1t
would nelp because the usefulness of
a professional lobbyist is less the more
he is known. But it will always be up
to the solons to protect themselves
from the ravages of lobbying. Per-
haps the first thing they should do is
to repeal the rule admitting ex-mem-
bers to the floor. Many of the most
pernicious schemes are worked through
by these men.

RUSSIA STILL FOR PEACE.

While the nearness of a great bat
tie in Mancnuria becomes more immi-
nent every hour, there does not seem to
be any cessation of preparations for a
peace meeting. The latest report is
that the car has named his ENJOYS.
If he has named men of high rank it
will be taken as an earnest effort that
he means business. Yet Japan will
want to know the powers of even the
highest ENJOYS before she will make a
definite move twards sending her en-
voys to America. Japan is naturally
suspicious and having been once the
burned child she breads the fire.
The car is probably proceeding as
fast as he can, surrounded, as he is,
by conflicting factions and distressed
by the fearful condition of the coun-
try. No man of this generation has
had such a problem to face and solve
as the car of Russia.

THE SONG OF THE LOBSTER.

The New York Sun predicts upon
the report of a large lobster crop a
brilliant season in Gotham. In honor
of the lobster. it says, architects toll
day and night building new lobster
palaces with scientifically carved lob
ster ceilings and lavisnly frescoed lob
ster walls. Every time a new lobster
refractory is opened, New York comes
out of it's shell as it We're, and disports
itself on Broadway in good clothes
and smiles. When the lobster is def
cient in juiciness or numbers New
York puts on mourning.
The people Of New York who rise at
2 p. m. and retire at 2 a. M, live on
Holsters. They know no other CHUCK"
They are Indifferent to breakfast foods
and scorn to be associated with bread,
butter and potatoes. Such is the utter
dependence of New York on the lob
ster that were there to be a lobster
union formed, and the output be regu-
lated by back-sprinting delegate,
New York, from Wall street to Harlem,
would grovel.
1t is suspected foreign governments
know this, and that if we should be
involved in war, the enemy would not
try to take New York directly, but
would proceed to the lobster beds,
capture those and wait for New York
to surrender. Common report is that
New York would not, under these cir
cumstances hold out a week. Indeed,
it would probably capitulate in two
nights, since the maximum surplus of
Holsters that can be accumulated at
the metropolis is good for not to ex-
coed 4S hours.
Many efforts have been made by
economists to arouse New York to the
been urged time and again that what
New York wants is not billions in sub
ways, but trillions in Holsters. A false
policy has been pursued by the gov
eminent. 1t has spent millions on
fresh water, when the read need Of the
city is a lobster bed of sufficient capac-
ity to supply the demand for the next
forty years. This should be located in
Central Park. Tammany mas controll-
ed the city for generations, but it has
neglect of the vital interests of the
people must bear it's legitimate fruit
One day Mr.. Murphy will be confront
ed with a lobster party pledged to the
immediate municipalization" of the
lobster beds, and his days Of power
and loot will be over.

WAR ON LOBBYISTS.

Governor Herrick of Ohio has de-
clared war on lobbyists. Lobbying" he
says, lis responsible in the main for
the low estimate in which our law
making bodies are held throughout
the country"
He proposes not merely the arrest,
but the determination of the lobbyist.
Whatever he may mean by this he may
know. He surely cannot expect to
take the lives of the members of the
lobby, and how else he is going to ex-
terminate them, perhaps he will later
in the campaign expound.
The governor of Ohio has privilege
Of assuming that the members of the
legislature are looked down upon be-
cause of the existence of lobbyists. 1t
would be just as easy to assume that
lobbyists exist because legislators are
the kind of men who ought to be look
ed down upon. The question whether
the owl came from the egg or the egg
from the owl is not more puzzling than
the problem whether legislatures in
vite Hobbies or whether Hobbies ad-
versely dominate legislatures. 1t is a
somewhat notable fact, that in Ohio al
least, it is an executive officer who is
making the fight and not a leader in
the legislature.
Lobbying is not in itself a crime
There is good and bad lobbying. When
citizen or a committee of citizens
goes to Olympia to represent their own
or somebody else's views with regard
to proposed legislation no crime is
committed. The highest interests OF
the community may be subserved.

THE PARsoN BIRD.
One Of the Queer Feathered Inhabtt'
ants of New Zealand.

One Of the Queer Feathered Inhabit-
ants Of New Zealand.
Among the feathered inhabitants of
New Zealand there Is bird called the
parson bird, or tut. It is about the
size and shape of blackbird, but has
pair of delicate white tufts at its
throat and is glossy dark green 9th
erwise, which looks black in the sun
light. It can be taught to crow, to
speak, to whistle tunes, and besides
these tricks it has repertory which
IL not often equaled by any other
feathered songster. At vespers 1t has a
note like the toll of a bell or the clear
high note Of an organ. 1t can mimic
every bird in the bush to perfection; it
will break OF in the middle of an ex-
Quisite melody and indulge in strange
medley Of sounds which are impossible
to describe, but II you can imagine 1.-THE
combination Of a cough, laugh, q
sneeze. with the smashing Of pane Of
glass;" 1t will be some approach to the
idea.
The tut nests twice or thrice year
and has large families. Like the other
birds Of New Zealand. 1t seems to be
unconscious Of danger from man. 1t is
q pity that the birds of this island are
becoming 80 scarce, for they speak to
us Of time when nature was harm
less, when the snakes, tigers and fal-
cons did not exist.

Ten of the downtown streets of New
York City are to be paved with wood
en- blocks in response to petition
signed by 5000 business men and prop
erty owners who favor a return to this
style of pavement. Paris and London
are also returning to the use of wooden
blocks in the business districts. The
chief advantage of wooden pavement
principal objection has been the tend
ency of the material to decay and to
absorb liquid and solid street filth.

STREET RAILWAY TRANSFERS.

James Dalrymple confessed before
leaving America that the thing which
most surprised him about American
tramways was the transfer system. He
found, in New York, for example, that
man could travel almost around the
city on a single fare. Such a system,
he confessed, would be we'll nigh i'm
possible Glasgow. Mr.. Dalrymple
possibly left America under the i'm
preston that by liberal tranfer sys-
tenn the American traction companies
were giving the people something. No
doubt the street railway managers i'm
pressed him with that. But only lit
tie study is necessary to show that
the American transfer system is mere
ly substitute for a lower fare. In
stead of reducing the rate the COM
panies benevolently increase the length
of the ride. The advantage of this
over a reduction of rates is largely on
their side because everybody does not
want two rides for one fare. Transfers
on a scent fare are much cheaper for
the companies than Scent fares and
no transfers. So when Mr.. Dalrymple
carries nome his impression of Amer
lean street railway systems one of
them ought to be that the companies
have been very shrewd in substituting
and short rides.

On tho Side.

How do you manage to live so we'll
on $40 a week." asked one clerk of
another.
ooh, I've got a couple of little things
on the side," the other answered.
What are they?"
well, for one thing, I stuff birds
and mount fish. 1 often make IS a
week out of that. There are six taxi
dermists that send work to me when
they are rushed. The other thing do
on the side is to make 'ad' photographs.
You know how great many big adj
vertisers use photos in their magazine
ads? Well, I study their needs, and 1
take photos that think would be good
ads, and I submit these photos to them
at IS apiece. They take about one
photo in every seven or eight.
The other clerk praised highly the
enterprise of his friend, whereupon the
first went on:

the side to give an interest and an eX-
element to your life. I guess have
