Senator in Massachusetts, legislature.

lobby or elsewhere away from the house, with a view to influence their
votes" Whether or not lobbying is a necessity, or whether the inAu-
ence of the lobby is for good or for evil, must OF course depend upon
the motive which governs the lobbyist.
If men enter the lobby with the full intention, and with the ability
to place facts and arguments before the members Of the Legislature
which are intended to, and which will help the members to come to
decision on pending matters, and such arguments and decisions are for
the interests of the people, no one will attempt to deny that that class
of lobbying i, to be commended. If such arguments can best be pre-
scented when the matters are before Legislative bodies, it would seen
that in these cases at least, what is termed lobbying is necessary, for ii
stands to reason that in order to get the best laws it is necessary to
have all the facts and arguments presented.
II, on the other hand, by lobbying is meant the offering of money
or other considerations calculated to be of benefit, not to the people as
a whole, but to the member of the legislature who has a vote, one
must come at once to the opinion that lobbying is not only not ncces-
sary. but that it should be driven not only from the halls OF legislation,
but should be throttled at an earlier stage when it seems to exert an
influence in the nomination and election OF men who are practically
pledged to be tools of the lobbyist.
While recognizing that there is an evil lobby as well as a good
one, it seems to me that on the whole the right OF the people to lobby,
or to seek to influence the votes Of their representatives is a necessity
7 would not like to see the representatives Of abor, Of morality, OF tenn
perance and of many other laudablc objects, denied the right to exert
their Influence for the causes they favor. 1t seems to me that the right
ia advocate good measures must not be denied, and as a consequence
The opportunity for the corrupt lobbying cannot be wholly wiped out
In regard to the question, What are the limits to the legitimate
vses at a legislative lobby? it seems to me that there can be but one
answer. and that is that a lobbyist has "tle right to do right" Any
other use of the privilege is wrong. Just what can be done to bring
about a condition Of affairs under which he will not be allowed to do
ANYTHING else, | cannot say, but it seems to me that a long step would
he taken in the right direction if the voters would insist on candidate.
and ru1blic officials who cannot be influenced to do wrong. Elect men
who will give those who place their trust in them a square deal and tht
lobby question will be settled without further legislation.

Red Cross Help for japan,

Tse National Red Cross society OF
the United States has been so democrat,
lied by its w internal strife In re-
cent years that it has not of late been
an effective agency Of philanthropy,
But the reorganization accomplished
under supervision Of congress has put
the society once more in excellent
working trim. Coming forward now
to offer its services for reaching and
feeding the starving peasantry Of
northern Japan, 1t eminently deserves,
says the Interior, the benevolent aid Of
all generous Americans. The state
ment that the society is ready to re-
ceive and distribute funds has brought
out from President Roosevelt a strong
public appeal for contributions to the
society's treasury for this object. The
crisis in the stricken portion Of the
japanese islands Is as severe AS India
experienced a few years ago, and
equally calls for International char
ity. Not less than $50, 900 human be-.
ings are being reduced to living on
roots and bark, and the death rate Is
already appalling. Gifts forwarded to
Hon. G. Hallam Keep, assistant secre-
tary Of the treasury, Washington, will
be applied by the most reliable agents
direct to this terrific need.

extending the present session of the
legislature until Saturday, April Il, one
week from the original date set for fna.

Some question has arisen among the
lawyers rs to the governors right tc
extend, but at least one judge OF the
Supreme Court has given an opinion that
the governor had the authority to do so,
citing several presidents.
The only other alternative would have
been to call an extra session, but this
would have involved so much heavier eS.
pense to the State that the governor
finally decided, after consultation with
LAWYERS, on an extension.

Bogus ELK Teeth Sold by Sioux


 Tourists in the Black Hills of late say that the Sioux Indians are doing a good business in working off artificial elk teeth upon unsus- pecting visitors.
 The Indians talk, small pieces of bone. polish them and fashion them into the shape of the real elk tooth. A squaw or buck will dangle one of these at the end of string neck lace, and, mingling with a crowd of tourists. will easily find pur- chaser. They usually get $5 for one of the limitations, which can not easily be told from the genuine. They carry the fraud to the point of browning the end of the tooth to indicate that it is of considerable age.
 Elk teeth have been the principal ornament of the Sioux, Crows, Crees, Bannocks and other north western tribes for centuries. They are supposed to also have value in warding off bad luck. and it has always been a part of the Indian creed that it is ne ,essary to bury them with the dead owner.
 The principal demand for the teeth comes from members of the Elks. and has caused a big incease in prices in the last few years. Two years ago we'll marked tooth could be bought for $l0, and the best for $l5. Nowadays a good one brings $25.
 Most of the real elk teeth now in the market came from the graves of dead Indians. From the grave of a dead Sioux chief at Pine Ridge, s. D. 626 teeth were taken. This chief, according to legend, was one of the greatest hunters of his time. Many of the teeth were beautifully colored from the gay shades of the Indian blanket in which the chief was buried.
 E. R. Pelz. wealthy manufac- turer of San Francisco, is reputed to have the largest collection of teeth. He is said to. have more than 12.000. pairs, the result of nine years of work. He says that all o1 them were obtained in the north. west from Indians who dug them from graves for him. Only the two eye teeth of the animal are avail able as ornaments. These are us ully prefect and we'll grown. while the others are deformed and ugly An Indian even in these days, will seldom sell the tooth of an elk he has himself killed. They have nc compunction. however, about open ing the graves of the dead fol them.

American Boy

Judge Shute, Edward Strat- meyer, Everett T. Tomlinson and Horatio Alger, Jr., occupy promi- nent positions in the November American Boy with their stirring serials. Scarcely secondary to these are short stories whose very titles should stir up the interest of the boys: "A Visit from the Chey- ennes"; ''The Lard Eaters "The Society of the F F. F.; "A Fight With a Panther"; "An Historic Walking Match; "Tm's Pig; For the Glory of St. Mary's, fine foot ball tale. There is enough of adenture and humor to please boys, and those who are serious minded will find some things to keep them busy in the more than fifty items devoted to cshool travel, biography, electricity. mechanics, amature journalism, and other boy hobbies.
 It will b e hard to find boy who can lot find something of interest in this number of the American Boy. For variety of contents and profusness of illustration it sur passes any of its p [ d e es s ors. There are some seventy-five illus rations, in addition to the premium list in colors that accompanies the number. The color cover is ap- propriate to the Thanksgiving season. $l.00 a year.
