About It-
TARIFF GIVEN BENEFIT
Thinks that the Lobby Probe Has Civ
on the Tariff Bill Big Boost
Toward Being
Adopted.
by John Edwin Nevin. STAN cor

IBy John Edwin Nhvin, STAN cor
respondent of the United Press]
WASHINGTON, June 30--"The
lobby is out of business 80 far as ma
tional legislation is concerned. 1t has
ceased to embarrass the administra-
ton. When the present investigation
ends, lobbying as a profession VIII
be classed with the dodo and other
things extinct"
That at least is the view taken by
President Wilson. When he saw the
newspaper correspondents today the
executive wore the placid expression
OF the cat that had swallowed the
canary. CARRIED in suit OF immacu-
late linen which set off to advantage
his spare form, the president looked
cool despite the heat of the capitol
in summer. His first remark indicat
ed that he was greatly pleased with
the latest lobby developments although
for various reasons he did not care
to discuss them in detail. The presi-
dent made 1t very plain however, that

Judge Lovett and others that an at
tempt has been made to hold up Wall
street isterests on behalf of certain
lawyers: that the National Associa.
ton of Manufacturers rushed or made
congressman at the whim of It's of
ficers; that its subteranean method
used in creating influence in legisla
tive halls, should be probed to the bot
tom and the president himself is
authority for the statement that the
public must know the truth, no mat
ter who may be besmirched or what
their political belief may be. The
president very frankly admits thai
i lobby revelations have proven o
|great benefit to his tariff bill. He nj
longer has the slightest apprehension

The New Laws.

Burlington Saturday Evening Post:
Four hundred new laws go into force
in Iowa the coming week. These new
laws were enacted by the recent
legislature. They cover wide lati-
tude, and will not make living in
Iowa any easier or more enjoyable.
Laws have been added to the code in
about same proportion biennially for
many years Iowa has now over four
thousand pages OF laws, while still
young. She is wealthy, obese, bulg.
ing out with laws. She is the last
word in laws. The other forty-seven
states in the union are, however,
passing laws in the same wholesale
and irresponsible way Every two
years the forty-eight states add about
twenty thousand new laws to the bur
den of restraint the people are carry
ing. It is easy to see the matter car
ried out to the limits Of absurdity
Thus, in twenty years we will have
one hundred thousand new laws, not
including the thousands of additional
ones made by the precious congress-.
Then, there are four thousand city
councils making many thousands Of
new ordinances each year And the
various bureaus at Washington max
ing thousands Of new and arbitrary
rulings which have the effect of laws
and under which Offenders have been
convicted and sent to prison OF
course, ii is all right; of course we
are the only people in the world who
have boundless, priceless, blood
bought liberties, extorted fresh and
pure right from the cannon's mouth;
we merely thought to mention 1t.
that's all.

Morning.
PARTY GOES AFTER IT
Believed to Have Floated Twelve
Miles Down the River Dur
Ing Sunday
Night.

p
This morning telephone message
announced the finding Of body at
Gregory, Mo-, believed to be that Of
John Chandler who was drowned in
the river outside the east lock wall
on Friday night. The body was found
close to an Ice house there along the
shore at daylight, according to the
report. From the description it was
believed that the body was that Of
young Chandler.
John Chandler was near the river
bridge before he finally went down
and was in the current. 1t is thought
that the extremely hot weather caus-
/ ed the body to rise quickly and the
current took it down the river the
twelve miles. The body Of James
Chandler who went down close to
the lock wall has not been recovered
although the use Of dynamite was re-
sorted to. Most of the boat has been
recovered, 1t being broken Into
pieces.
[ Upon receipt Of the message from
Gregory, q. e. Hawkes. went there In
a motorboat accompanied by young
Chambers father to identify the body
and bring 1t back.
