Government Press
Agent is Doomed

WASHINGTON. d. c., Jan. %
The days of the government press
agent are numbered.
In all the political cow lots of
Washington few mushrooms have
come quicker or flourished more lus-
tily. But. congress-and what's more
-Tawney, is against the system.
This is the story of it's start. To
Colonel Theadore thus spake Clifford
Pinchot: "The trees are falling fast.
The people are Indifferent. They do
not hear the axe"
Theodore replied, "Pipe it to them"
1t was then that Clifford Pinchot
Che was chief of the forest service

eau that in no time had the people
weeping every time a dead leaf rus
tied. And they did more. 1t was al
legged upon the floor of both houses
of congress that the bureau had not
confined itself to writing sonnets on
the fallen tree nor yet to patting G.
Pinchot upon the back Doubtless
had they done this, they would still
flourish. but they used their pens, it
was alleged, to prevent the reelection
of several congressman not quite in
accord with the sentiments of the for
est service.
So in the appropriation bill which
passed congress during the last SEES
sion there appeared a warning that
none of the funds appropriated for
the forest service should he used in
the preparation of any article for any
paper or magazine.
In the meantime, several other de-
partments set up press agencies. The
postoffice department, the reclamati IN
service. the bureau of soils of the de-
partment of agriculture, the census
bureau. together with unofficial bur

their own news agencies.
In the olden days the press repre-
sentatives of Washington were wont
unhindered to trapse around from Of

eaus the news is dished out to them.
well sauced with offician attitute. AL
so, as the press agents hope some day
to get a raise, they throw in a few re-
marks on the great and g'orious do
ings of their ''bosses"
The neWspapermen didn't mind it at
first. 1t was sort of nice, during the
hot summer days, not to have to run
around and get tired out hunting news
items in the departments. when there
was a press agent to prepare nice
little pieces for the paper" which
could be secured by the office boy
But when congress convened ard the
editors at home commenced thinking
q god deal about Washington and
demanding more stuff from their
correspondents here, then it was that
the press agent system came in for
round denunciation. The newspa-
permen complained that everything
was bottled up There was no
chance for the ambitious correspon-
dent here to pull off a .sco0p' to re-
mind his editors at home that he was
a deserving young man and needed a
raise in salary.
Now it is whispered about that Rep
Tawney, chairman of the house COM
mittee on appropriations, will insert a
specific prohibition against press ag-
ents in every appropriation bill which
he reports for passage. Needless to
say, he will probably get all the publi-
city he desires in his campaign against
the system

MAY BE A CANDIDATE.
Railroad Commissioner Glasgow May
Enter Race For Governor.

Grand Rapids. Mich, Dec. 20.-An-
other possible entry into the guberna-
torial field i'm 1912 is Cassius l.. Glas-
gov of Nashville. Mr.. Glasgow, who
is at present railroad commissioner,
was strongly urged to get into the
game this year but declined. Then his
friends tried to get him into the game
for congress and still he declined. Now
1t is said he may not decline the urg-
ings of his friends that he enter the
gubernatorlal race in 1912 If Chase S.
Osborn still persists in not running.
If Mr. Glasgow enters he will make
the sixth to be mentioned. There are
Amos S. Musselman, Patrick II. Kel-
ley, Fred c. Martindale and a. G.
Sleeper already much talked of-and
Detroit gets into the game with Edwin
DENLY, former congressman, as possi-
bility.
Among the politicians around the
state there is much comment over the
possibilities and already they are lin
ing up behind one of the other of the
prospective candidates. Most of the
men who are now doing things in poll
tics at Lansing look with especial fa-
vor upon Fred M. Martindale. who
nearly entered the race this last year.
George h. Horton, the great power In
the state Grange, declares Musselman
is his choice and he believes Mussel-
man will land next time. If Glasgow
enters il is certain he will pull very
strongly both from the politicians and
from the business men, for Mr.. Glas-
Cow is acknowledged a big man with
either crowd.

loyal combination in restraint Of

here today issued a decree permanent

Co, but the decree does not grant the
governments request that the other
points in the case be dismissed with
out prejudice. The court simply dis
