BUREAUS AT WASHINGTON.
The Peoples Lobby Will BE Conduct
ed Along Different Lines.
Samuel Merwin, in Success Maya

s. zine.
The Peoples Lobby will establish
a publicity bureau in Washington on
q scale and in a manner before
attempted. Corporations maintain
al Washington many publicity bur
eaus, whose business is to faint and
corrupt public opinion. IA year ago,
when the railroad-rate bill was under
discussion at Washington, the rail-
roads maintained IN Washington a
publicity bureau on a scale of lavish
ness hitherto unknown. The connec-
ton of this bureau with the railroads
was, of course, kept secret. Com
munications between the railroad
presidents and attorneys and this bur-
eau we're made in cipher.
It was the business of this bureau
to get up a weekly, a semi-weekly,
and, sometimes, a daily Washington
letter. This letter would be sem to
thousands of newspapers all over the
United States. There are a great
many newspapers not financially able
to maintain a Washington bureau
in fact, there are only from three to
five hundred papers in the United
States who are wealthy enough to
maintain Washington correspondents.
Nevertheless. these other papers, pub
lished in smaller towns, are very
anxious to have Washington news,
and so they accepted these letters,
which we're sent out to them free OF
charge by the publicity bureau OF the
railroads.
These letters were very cunningly
devised. The first paragraph would
be an amusing anecdote about Con-
gresham X. The second paragraph
would be a very entertaining one
about the new mastodon skeleton in
the Smithsonian Institute. Then in
the third paragraph there would be q
very nasty slur on the president OF
the United States. Then there would
be another innocent paragraph which
would be supposed to recompense the
railroads for the h~undredsSof thou
sands of dollars which they paid to
maintain this bureau. The doctrine
paragraph would point out that any
attempt to regulate railroad rates
would be a very great mistake and
would lead to all kinds of ruin and
panic. This is what the railroads
were paying for. They We're hoping
to influence public opinion against
railroad rate regulation.
Now, other corporations are trying
TO influence public opinion in the
same way. The liquor interests are
doing 1t. 1t has become a fayorite
means of corrupting public opinion to
send out these tainted and corrupted
Washington letters.
The Peoples Lobby proposes tc
send out a truthful Washington let
ter. 1t will supply every paper in the
United States free of charge with a
truthful and accurate account of pro-
ceedings in congress. When the news
papers. which are almost wholly hon
est. can get this accurate and truthful
letter. they will cease to accept the
tainted letters of the corporations
and we shall have honest public opln'
ion throughout the United States.

THE NEW YEAR.

Tomorrow we begin a new year.
Before the sun rises again, 1906 will
have passed into history, and 1907
will start on its eventful voyage of
365 days duration.
The past is gone. W. cannot undo
what has taken place, therefore let
us turn our backs upon the old life.
forget its shortcomings and disap-
pointments and begin anew.
Look into the future and aim hlgh.
AS Emerson says, Hitch your chariot
to a star" Have great ideals, and If
YOU do not reach them, If you perse-
we're, you will at least get something.
1t is a mistaken idea to think that
the world owes every man a living
Such is not the case, Facing the
world is a cold-blooded proposition.
1t shows no fear or favor. 1t gives
to every man just what he is worth
just as much as he earns-no more
and no less.
This may not seem true when we
see the millionaires floating about in
steam yachts and the like, but al is
not gold that glitters.
Our advice to every on this,
the threshold of a new year, is to
thank God and take courage"

other from the pulpit. One would think that society is on
the verge of ruin. Well, IT AWAY HAS BEEN
~ SO. Every page in history repeats that expression about
Tthese degenerate days" from time immemorial.
Now, in our times we are hearing about frauds, corruption growing
out of rebates, postofcescandals, insurance difficulties. We think the
United States is about the worst nation ON earth. We forget the condi-
lions of OTHER NATIONS. We don't know well enough the CON
dihons of other time. The real menace to society is the pessimism of
the time that sees NO GOOD IN ANYTHING
We welcome the work of the muck rake writer who can bring
things to the surface truthfuny. Itis because the public conscience is
NOW MORE SENSITIVE than at any other time that we applaud
successful attempts along this line. The trouble is, however, that we
look at things with inverted vision, and we do not recognize the true
perspective. In looking at the corruption of the past it recedes with
time, and our judgment is warped BY THE PERSPECTIVE.
rs, 1t is as if we were looking at things through the wrong end of a
field glass. Statistics have helped to warp our Judgment. We are all
the time comparing our immensely more perfect statistics with the
very crude and IMPERFECT STATISTICS OF THE, PAST, and
our comparisons arc IS badly warped as the statistics. Tor instance,
Using the bare figures of past and present criminal statistics, one would
judge at once that crime is ON the increase. A really SCIENTIFIC
use of the statistics, however, taking into account how imperfectly we
know of the crimes of the past, shows that the opposite conclusion is the
proper one. at~, s,s
The late Senator Hoar in his Autobiography of Seventy Years"
speaks of telling General Garfield, after the Beknap impeachment
trial in 1877, that after having looked into the history of the first six
teen years of the government he believed that there had been more
corruption then than there had been under President Grant. That
sort of study led Senator Hoar to say two or three years before his
death, "The world is better today than it was yesterday, and it will be
better TOMORROW than it is today"

MONDAY, DECEMBER 81.

published tomorrow, New Years Day
NO NEWSPAPER TIMETABLES

Newspapers throughout the state
have been notified by the Pennsyi-
vania Railroad Company that the
publication of the timetables of that
road in the newspapers will be dis
continued after December 81. Ac-
cording to the official notice, the
company intends to do just as much
advertising as before, but the space
formerly used for timetables will be
occupied by what the railroad choose
to call advertising matter of current
interest.
Commenting on this action on the
part of the Pennsylvania railroad,
the Asbury Park Press says:
we ap~prehend that the travelling
public is more vitality interested in
the starting and arrival of passenger
trains than in the beautiful scenery
which the company evidently intends
to describe in its substituted adver-
Using matter.
1.-THE published timetable is just as
essential to the proper service of a
railroad company as the train equip
ment.. In many instances it is the
only medium of information, and
should be provided for by law.

ness Office cardboard announcements.
They are frequently unobtainable
when most desired; they are often
mislaid or valueless because they do
not record late changes and train
Withdrawals. The reading public,
through long custom, is familiar with
the newspaper timetable and has
learned to rely upon it in time of
need. W. apprehend the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company will be Sc
verely citicized by the people"
The Press goes on to say that
"the change is of no consequence to
the newspapers, which will derive
quite as much profit from glowing
accounts of special tour routes and
other substitute matter. The people
will be the sufferers, and to the peo-
pie the railroad company will finally
be compelled to render account
We think the Press misses a
point in this action by the Pennsyl-
vania railroad. 1t looks as if the
railroad thinks is has run the time
tables in the newspapers so long that
a demand has been created which

chapel known by the name of The

where, in the beautiful language of
St. Luke-more exquisite than any
idyl to Christian ears-.there were
shepherds keeping watch over their
Aocks by night, when, 10. he angel
OF the Lord came upon them. and
the glory OF tine Lord shone round

this, the Chapel of the Herald Angel
is a mere rud crypt; and as the trav-

himself That he is in a consecrated
