THE PEOPLES LOBBY


(From the Chicago Record-Herald)
The peoples lobby, the creation Of
which at Washington was announced
some time ago, is preparing it's plans
for the winter campaign. 1t has de-
cided on two lines of work--first, the
collection of information regarding
pending national legislation, and, Sec
ond, the keeping of information con-
corning the votes and records in other
respects of members of congress. All
this information is to be given the
widest possible publicity.
The peoples lobby is neither to be
condemned offhand nor to be hailed
with undiluted JOY. 1t adds itself to
the already numerous agencies for dis
seminating information about the WORK
of congress, and it's special reason for
existence is the need of the system
ization of a great mass of detail in
formation, which no individual, not
even the most experienced Washing
ton correspondent, can keep at his
fingers ends for the full length of time
for which it will be valuable.
Here in Chicago our volunteer agen-
cies for collecting and disseminating
information about local legislators
have worked admirably. The Munich
pal Voters League has found an imi-
tator in the Legislative Voters League
and in the various associations that
report on judiciary candidates. What
the results are in Washington will de-
pend on whether the men in charge
of the peoples lobby are big enough
for their task, whether they can hold
themselves to scrupulous fairness and
whether they can build up and retain
public confidence.
The greatest need of the American
people in the conduct of their gov
eminent is exact knowledge They
are admirably provided by the news
papers with the kind of knowledge
that is interesting, but they need in
addition a lot of knowledge that is
not interesting except at the very TO-
ment when elections are to be held.
that consists of the essence of mass
of details that the newspapers cannot
possibly print and that the people
would not read if the newspapers did
print and that they could not compre-
hensively summarize if they did read.
Every new experiment toward pro-
viding such knowledge should be well
coined, and ultimately valued at just
what 1t is worth in results.

his own desire to enjoy in the present
and future the fairness of the earth
without the pains of toll.
Hence, primitive society was that
OF master and slave. Slavery only
yielded to the next higher form of
social organization when the slave re-
beiied and endangered the life of the
master and so on down through the
various forms of human society from
the most brutal forms of chattel Slav
cry to the present, each step in adj
vance has resulted from the refusal
of the oppressed to longer submit to
oppression, and from the helplessness
of the oppressors to longer enforce
their will upon their former victims.
AS the coarser and more brutal
forms of slavery disappeared, brute
force was superseded by intellectual
cunning as the means Of accomplish
ing, as far as possible, the same ends
that were formerly attained through
means of the lash on the bare back
of the slave, namely, the despoiljng
of the laborer of the fruits of his
toll Here it must be remembered
that a common human nature per-
meates all alike and the question of
master or slave has ever question
of intelligence, of which was capable
of being master and of which were
incapable of self defense.
Through each succeeding modifica-
cation of social systems the more in
telligent who ruled planned to sur
render as little of the privileges they
enjoyed as was possible. But out of
the social unrest the so-called states

of the privileged ruling classes were
gradually forced to yield something
time became too intelligent to submit
to the grosser forms of oppression that
was forced upon the ground tier. This
resulted in so grading social condi-
lions that through centuries the mid

those above themselves rather than
with the millions who constituted the
Ground tier Of society

telligence is our boast, privilege is

riotous and rampant for generation
and has raised it's naughty head in
mockery of our intelligence and has

pert woodsmen. Found In the heart

it is bought by the agent working
for the interests Of n veneering COM

The process includes the cutting and

cooking of these logs. They are boiled

condition prevents them from crack
