Congress on the Defensive.
From the Boston Transcript

FROM the Boston Transcript.
Congress never is, but always about to
be. able to attend to its function OF law
making. At present. with such problems
before 1t as tariff revision and currency
reform on its program. which both to-
gether should keep II in session until the
SNOW begins to fall, il cannot address its
whole energies to either. 1t is compelled
to put them aside for the moment and di-
vert its attention to the lobby scandal. IT
must prove itself clean-handed enough
not to soil currency or tariff. Incidentally
to proving that it is not and has not been
purchasable in gross, many Of its mem
bers must submit to undeserved vexa-
tions. Even men who are above sus-
picion men whose public lives and pri-
vate lives are honorable, must step up to
the tribunal and demonstrate the false
hood Of charges flung about by mudslinS-
ers. Between Mulhall and Lamar, the
cleanest Of congressman will find enough
to do. Some of them are already doing It.
Other congressman, past or present, are
explaining The difficulties in which
good congressman, indifferent congress
men and bad congressman find themselves
are traceable to the tolerance of the lobby
by Congress- which long ago should have
regulated it,
