LOBBYING MAY
 SOON BE LOST ART
Congressman Bartholdt of Missouri Has introduced Bill to Force Lobby ists to Place Themselves and
 Employers on Record.
cnr Henry K. LamhIel ]


 Washington, May 28.-Sbades of Nat Mckay, but thing are com. ing to a pretty pass. Here k Richard Bartholdt of Missouri advocate of universal peace and official dispenser of pork Tn the House of Representative, trying to oct m body blow on the lobbyists, He has introduced q bill requiring them to file their name and ad- dress, along with the names and address of their employers, at the office of the Attorney General. If the news of Congress pene- trates to Wraith-Land, the great Mckay, king-bee of the lobbyists of recent years, must have turned over in his grave. When Mckay was at the top-notch of his glory and his Hotel Dewey the rendez- yous of statemen small and great, they would have taken Bartholdt and locked him in paddedIcell at St. Elizabeth $, the institution for the mentally unsound which the government maintains on the out skirts of the District of Columbia. But these are the days of reform The gentle grafter has been sent to Moundsvill brother places of pen al servitude, and even Senators of the United State who strayed the paths of rectitude have felt the heavy hand of justice. The won- der is the lobbyists escaped so long.
 What earthly chance would the lobbyist have should Bartholtd's bill become law? His business Is mot one that thrives on publicity. As we'll ask the conjurer to adyer- .tise the secrets of his legerdemain Passage of the Bartholdt blll would put lobbying in the class with the tempering of bronze and other lost arts.
 Yet it would not be surprising should the bill be passed when Congress reconvenes. If there Is sufficient reform sentiment i'll Congress and the country to pass Ia bill requiring publicity of cam paign receipts and expenditures, the lobbyist has no right to expect Immunity. Things are not as they used to be.

Two Scholarships in the U. of A. to be Given Away by the Woman's Clubs
 of the State.

The following letter is cheer fully published at the request of Mrs. John l. Moore of Helena, chail man of the committee on education of the A. F. w. c.
 The clubs in the state will be interested to read again the plan of the University Scholarship adopted by the Federation at its meeting in Little Rock.
 $500 from each of the 97 feder- ated clubs would provide for two scholarships Tn the U. of A. Sl45, first scholarship; S140, second, enough for living expenses.
 One scholarship is for boys and one for girls, to be awarded by competitive examinations. Cues tions used to be sent out by the University Examining Board and examinations thls year held by principals of High schools or county examiners, as Judge Till man, president of the University, may decide. A small fee is to be charged each applicant to repay examiner.
 The University Examining Board will grade all papers. The boy getting highest grades gets boys scholarship; the girl getting highest grade gets girls prize. Then. to still further stimulate exertion, let the larger scholar ship go to either the boy or girl according to which makes the higher averages,
 No average below so.
 Let the scholarship be good for one year only, the freshman class of the Arkansas University. The right kind of student will have found his feet by the end of the freshman year.
 No one attending the Univers- Ity preparatory at Fayetteville Is eligible. The object of the scholarship is to make our Uni versity better known and appreci- ated in the state and to give to boys and girls from small places and of limited means the advant- age of the University atmosphere.
 Dues should be sent to the Chairman of Education of the A. F. w. c. and, when all clubs have paid, by her transmitted to the treasurer of the University. He will dlsburse the fund in monthly payments.
 Anyone desiring information in regard to the examinations should inquire of Judge Tillman, presi- dent of the T.. of A.
 Teachers, will you please call the attention of your pupils to these scholarships. In offering them, the A. k. w. c. realized that the greatest benefit to be de rived would not necessarily be gained by those who won the re- wards. but by the many, who by striving to win, improve then work in the preparatory schools. This preparation may cause the unsuccessful ones to do collegiate work in our own or in some other University.
 Cmbwomen, will you please send your assessments as soon as possible. All depends upon this,

SAFE INVESTMENTS,
And What Constitutes Their Sc
curity-Reliable InfOrma-
ton On the Subject.

The Mercantile and Financial Times
of New York, has some interesting
items from a prominent Louisville
firm the senior member of which was
born and reared In our town. Among
other things, it says:
To all inquiries from investors that
have been addressed 10 this paper, we
have invariably replied that expert
knowledge and assistance are, of
course, essential in connection with
The purchase of investment securities.
The element of safety has, above all
other qualities, TO be considered in a
bond or investment security Of any
Kind. There are also other details in
regard TO which the average investor
has TO depend upon the experience and
gems raj knowledge Of the brokers and
dealers through whom he acts. Securi-
tsss purchased in any other way are
too apt 10 turn out 10 be speculations

In connection with this subject

during a brief Interview granted him
by MIR L. II. McHenry, of the firm OF
L. H. McHenry & Co., OF Louisville,
KY. who are prominent bankers and
brokers specializing in strictly high
grade investment securities.
"As regards investment securities
adapted TO the requirements of ultra
conservative investors" said Mr.. Nc
Henry, ''there is nothing, aside from
government bonds, that can be more
safely recommended than municipal
bonds. This s.a, ement applies quite
as truly to the municipal securities of
any OF our growing southern and
western communities as 1t does to
those Of other eastern cities. The
southern and western States have had
the benefit of the experience and abil-
fly of the east in framing their con-
stitution> and, in most instances, have
been commercially careful in restrict
ing their public indebtedness 10 a
very small percentage of the assessed
valuation of taxable property. Con-
sequently, municipal bonds are, gener-
ally speaking, practically, as safe as
government bonds, although apprecia-
bly, more remunerative. Following
municipal bonds, railroad bonds con-
shutting a first lien on any of the
great trunk lines of the country,
