Political conventions for the pur-
pose of nominating candidates for
President and Vice President, the
electoral college and long ballots
will be a thing of the past if the
plan now under consideration at the
White House comes to successful
conclusion President Wilson yester-
day told Representative Brtten, of
Chicago, that he is opposed to the
nomination of candidates for the two
highest places in the gift Of the
people by party conventions and that
he thought those meetings should be
solely for the purpose of building a
platform. The nominations of the
president and Vice President, the
present Chief Executive thinks
fshould be through system of direc'
inr;maries, such as were provided To-
Esenators in the last amendment tt
the Constitution recently ratified
THE President also thinks direct elec

BOURBON BUNCOMBE IN
REGARD TO LOBBYING

Two or three standpat Senators
have almost accused the Presi.
dent of lobbying in favor of his
tariff bill. The same bourbons are
charging Wilson with dictation and
usurpa;ion and threatening to have
a lot TO say at the proper time
about his tyrannical interference
with the legislative branch.
The proper" time. will never
come. The average citizen would
advise the Senator's in question to
cut II all out. once and for all. The
stuff is old. cheap and thin. There
is no political capital to be squeez-
ed out of it,
President Wilson is within his
rights and duty in discussing tariff
rates and expressing opinion. He
was elected to do this among other
things. He has the veto power, and
is to the extent of that power a leg
islator Moreover, the Presidency
is the peoples Office par excellence,
as even Cleveland realized. The
nation expects the executive to lead
and use his influence on the side of
right and justice. They know that
a President doesn't have to lobby,
to bully or to dictate. and that no
fit President will resort to coarse
and illegal tactics.
That Mr. Wilson has taken a def
mite position on some tariff items,
and that he has discussed and CIV
en- his views, on invitation. on 9TH
er items is perfectly well known.
No one but a standpatter too blind
to see what is going on in politics
can object, or pretend TO object, to
such Interference. We report,
there's nothing left in the bun
combe about Presidential lobbying
and usurpation. Cut it out and
talk sense. Messrs. Bourbon Sur
yivors.-tChicago Record-Herald.

PANAMA CANAL SIMPLY

Joseph Bucklin Bishop. secretary
of the Canal Commission, in the

What the engineers of the Unit
ed States Government are con-
structing at Panama is not canal
through the Isthmus but a bridge
of water across and above it. The
so-called canal is huge water
bridge, the first in the worlds his
tory. II is about "a miles in
length, 81 feet high, with a channa
of water through it's center varying
in depth from As to 81 feet and in
width at the bottom from 800 to l.
600 feet. The bridge is divided
into two sections, Gatun lake and
Culebra cut, the latter being an
arm of the former. Access to the
bridge by vessels will be by means
of water elevators, six in duplicate
at either end, each 1000 feet long,
10 feet wide. and with a combined
lift of 81 feet.

THE RIGHT TO LOBBY
SHOULD BE SAFEGUARDED
Bryan's Commons SAWS.

i =
No one questions the right of any
man or interest to be heard by Con-
gressional or legislative committees
with respect to legislation that
might affect particular business.
To deny such a privilege would be
to reject the right of petition and
that right must in popular govern
ment be preserved. There are, too,
some who think that 1t is not inn
proper for the lobbyist to discuss
these matters with Legislators as in
dividuals. On this point there will
be marked difference of opinion. II
will be agreed. however. that the
safer course for the best interests
of all concerned would be for the
representative of special interest to
confine his efforts at pleas before
regularly constituted committees
sitting in public hearing. The leg
lslator must be given all the argu-
mems pro and con upon every prop
osition with which he is to deal
But every individual right may be
preserved when these arguments
are presented in a public way. In
this view the time may come when
representatives of special Interests
will be denied the privilege of max
ing their arguments to legislators
as individuals and required to make
their pleas to regularly organized
committees holding public sessions.
In the meantime. however. it will
be agreed that the occupation of ev-
cry man who represents special in
terests In the matter of legislation
at the national capital should be
known to the public. Some of these
lobbyists have been uncovered in
the Investigations set on foot by the
President Congressional investiga-
ton ought not. however, to be nee
essary for this purpose. There
should be law requiring every lob
byist or agent of special interests to
formally register at the national
capital just as these gentlemen are
required to register at many of the
State capitals. The public interest
is entitled to every safeguard.
