Beware of the Good Time

Governor Marshall of Indiana was
not dealing with unrealities in warn
ing the Indiana legislators against the
fellow insisting on showing them a
good time soon after being introduced
to them. This good fellow is one of
the stern realities about every state
house when the legislature is in ses-
sion, so the warning may well be
needed in Nebraska and other states,
as we'll as in Indiana.
Anti-lobbying laws have been en-
acted in many states, but their infu-
ence can scarcely be more than re-
strictive; it is not prohibitive. The
individual member is, after all, left
upon his own honor. He can be ap-
preached in a hotel lobby just as
easily as in a legislative lobby. 1t is
for him to determine whether the re-
form laws dealing with the agents of
special interests are to be observed or
violated. 1t is not necessary to deny
legitimate rights of business concerns
to fair hearings before committees, to
appreciate the subtle influence and
motives of this fellow who insists on
showing the members a good time.
AS Governor Marshall says, This fell
low has an axe to grind and intends
to chop his own wood with it. There
is no money in honest public service
and the man who flies high in office
has someone holding the string to his
kite"
Many a public official has sacrificed
reputation by binding his>eyes to this
fact and trying to deceive himself with
the notion that people did not under
stand him. The ways of the good fell
low, dark and devious as they may be,
are yet not impenetrable. Proof OF
this has come forth in several states
within the last biennium.

singular public scandal, affecting a

newspapers. When Louis Kossuth died at
Turin in 1894 a private subscription Of
$4,000 was made to cover the expense of
bringing the body to Budapest and for
burial M. Oetvoes, a well known Hungar-
ian deputy, had charge of the fund and
subscribed most Of it. Some time after
the funeral the deputy was asked for an
accounting, but he refused, stating that
none Of the fund remained. Sixteen years
later the matter was revived by the state
ment of M. oetvoes that what was left
Of the fund went to pay the debts OF Kos
suth's two sons. An indignant denial OF
the statement by Francis Kossuth brought
from o, oetvoes the further statement
that Francis kossuth would not deny. on
second thought, of having received money
from him. Thereupon Francis Kossuth adj
mitted having received $1,000 from NJ
Oetvoes, but said that the money was ex-
pended in exhuming and bringing to Buda-
| pest for burial the ashes of his mother and
sister. A local paper promptly unearthed
a municipal record showing that the city
had paid that expense itself The whole
affair is making a great sensation in Hun
