THE NEW LOBBYIST.
He Works for the People Iastead
Of for the Corporations.

Conservative little Rhode Island, which has at
least partly shaken off the grip Of it's blind old
boss, General Charles p Brayton, who has
ruled it with iron hand for over a genera
ton, has just taken the first step toward COM
pIete seIf-goyernment by establishing q bureau
for collecting information for the legislators.
Up TO this time all the data needed for carry
ing on the government Of that snug bit of
commonwealth has repOsed in the active brain
Of the commanding general, who has always
been liberal in dispensing facts To those who
came to him for them. As he had an office in
the High Sheriff's room in the State House dur
ing the sessions Of the General Assembly and
in the largest office building in Providence for
the remainder Of the year there has been no
excuse for any ignorance in either the House OF
the Senate.
Now. however. strangely radical move has
been made the part of the State Librarian.

inform them about laws in other states, about
public comment in the newspapers and maga-
zines, about old Rhode Island legislation, and
give them references to standard works on

vening Of the Legislature
All this may sound rather tame 10 the people
Of other states who have never known what it
was TO be guided in all matters both large and
small, by one master mind, whose big sl5uch
hat had for years more public significance than
the dome Of the new State House or the belfry
Of the Old George III building that preceded it.
