trooped into the department for their

Mr.. Randall states that the attend

Washington.-A movement is on
foot in Washington looking to the or
ganization of what might be called
"peoples' lobby
The idea is to have the "interests
of REFORM looked after. Other " IL
terests" are well represented; but
nobody in particular is charged with
looking after the cause of decency"
and of honesty"
What is everybody's business is no
body's business. This axiom applies
no less to the national welfare than
to other things.
The idea of "peoples' lobby" is
to have an organization Office
with manager and employees at Wash
ington--to do for the people in general
what the other lobbyists are doing
for the people in particular whom they
serve ito have a man or men whose
only business it would be to keep
track of legislation and legislators,
and let the people know.
That is all the lobby would do
let the people know. Who are honest?
What bills are supported by what
members? Who do the dirty work
The Killing in the dark, the strangling
in committee? 1t requires time to
keep track of these things. The people
want to know, and would support a
0bby to be told
Publicity would do the rest.
The idea of a peoples lobby is said
to have originated with President
Roosevelt.

Salute Given Too Soon.

Washington. After consultation
between Quartermaster General Hum
phreys and Admiral Cowles, chief of
the equipment bureau of the navy de-
partment, the two officers who are
charged with making and issuing Of
the national flag to the army and navy
respectively, it has been decided that
the admission into the Union of the
State of Oklahoma shall be recorded
by the addition Of star in the blue
field Of the flag, placed at the lower
right hand corner.
But, as several things remain to be
lone before the state is actually ad-
mitted, and as the law provides that
additional stars shall only be set in
the field at the beginning Of the next
fiscal year after the state is one in
fact, the Oklahoma star will not be
seen on the national ensign until July
|, 1907, and therefore, the salutes
which have been given are premature.

Maneurrs OF Fleet.

Plans for extensive Iaaneuvers of
the North Atlantic fleet are being
matured by the general naval board
in conjunction with Rear Admiral
Evans, commanding the feet.
A new feature is to be introduced
in the maneuvers this summer. and
the ships are to practice evolutions
without signals in order to meet emer-
gencies in battle when, owing IL
smoke or when signal apparatus has
been shot away, signals can no longer
be given. While it is regarded as
somewhat hazardous to maneuver III
the big battleships without signals, il
is thought necessary to have the off
GERS familiar with this duty in case
they are engaged in actual war al
some time in e,future and a situa-
tion should arise necessitating the
abandonment Of signals.

In the hill counties numberless com.

The labor enticement problem seem;
to be growing in seriousness with eacl
