much interest the working out of a
distinctively new idea in public af.
fairs. This is the Peoples Lobby,
a non partisan organization de-
signed to foster wider knowledge
of national legislation, and to in
dorse or oppose such bills as affect
the general welfare of the people
The basic idea is that, if the
people know the facts on legisla,
tive matters. public opinion will
find such wide expression that it
caunot be dlsregarded Channels
of publicity are not lacking. The
Peoples Lobby has the support of
a large number of leading news
papers and of such publications as
Success "Collier's," and
"Ridgeway's."
An important branch of the
work of the organization Is the
careful compiling of the public
secord of every Senator and Repre-
sentative. The people have a
right to know from an unprciudiced
source what their legislators are
doing The influences brought to
bear on members of Congress will
also be examined into; this means
a history af the third house,
the secret lobbyists, who are so
successful in influencing legislation
for the benefit of the especial in
terests" which employ them.
The plan seems broad enough
aud practical enough to augur

Use this result, and the Willingness
of the people to endorse the pro
