The HORSES VACATION.
By HELEN NJ. RICHARDSON

BY HELEN NJ. RICHARDSON
I'm going to have vacation;
/ don't know where it will be;
| know it's away from the city,
And that is enough for me.
They say ! shall roam in pastures,
And roll in the fresh green grass;
Where neither street cars nor autos
Can terrify me as they pass.
I'm going to leave off my harness;
I'm going to caper and run;
Perhaps | shall have companions
To Join with me in my fun.
shall dip my nose in the water
OF brook that sings its way
Through this wonderful, sweet, green
pasture
Where for time shall stay.
There are trees with wide spreading
branches
To shelter me from the sun;
Bushes that ] can nibble
When weary of frolic and fun.
I shall sleep at night in the open,
With stars shining over my head;
The air blowing fresh in my nostrils,
And the soft grass for my bed.
Good by to the hard city pavements,
Where the scorching sun beats down;
To feed bags and stuffy stable
I'm going away from town,
I'm going to have vacation,
The first one I've ever had.
Out in the country I'm going;
Dc you wonder that | am glad?

DOUBTFUL HONOR

Mexico City. July 19.-Gen. Felix

Dassador to Japan to express the
thanks OF Mexico TO Japan for the
latter's participation in Mexico's CEN
tennfal in 1910.
By appointing Gen. Diaz 10 this
mission President Huerta appears 10
have eliminated him, temporarily, at
least, from the politics of Mexico. He
lis expected to leave today and the
president, when formally comforting
the honor on him said that he hoped
that he would return to Mexico in
time to be candidate in the presi-
dental election called for Oct. 26.
Gen. Diaz, however would have to
plan his trip carefully so that time
would be left to him for the compile
ton of his program in the presiden-
tial campaign. Approximately a
month will be occupied in the trip
to Japan and another month in the
return and it will be necessary not TO
discredit the mission by too much
haste in leaving Toxic.

MANY DREADFUL HOURS
FOR SUBMERGED MINERS
Rescued After Standing for Two Days
and Nights to their NeckS
in Water

Eleveth, Mimi, July 18.-F'if-
teen men were taken from a coal
mine here after being buried deep as
the result Of a land slide. The men
had stood neck deep in water for
two days. They heard the guards
warn the men when the water began
rushing down the shaft but they
drew back at sight of the swirling
torrents. AS the water crawled up
they were submerged first to their
waists and then to their shoulders.
Realizing their plight they attempt
ed with picks and shovels to dam the
drift. For a time they were unsuc-
cessful but at last they were able 10
stem the tide. BY this time the wa
ter was up to their necks. Standing
thus they waited for the rescuers
whom they heard working desperate-
ly. When the rescue crew had blast
ed to within forty feet OF them they
made signals which were heard by
the rescuers.
Relatives of the entOmbed men
broke down and cried with JOY when
the men appeared at the surface.

ried in this ready-printed matter,
known to the profession as patent
insides," pays the syndicate for the
paper and the printing. This is
plausible because there are syndicates
that furnish paper and printing in
return for just this consideration
The fact that some of these firms
are doing legitimate business makes
it all the easier for the lobbyists to
get in their work in 'insidiously"
interesting the people in something
they want put through. And there is
nothing in law or business ethics to
prevent one of these reputable syndi-
Gates from selling, name plant and
all, to somebody who offers money
for the outfit.
This method of press lobbying is
probably the least understood, least
known and the most minute of the
many ways in which the press" lob
bying is carried on. Daily papers are
not incorruptible and are not always
wise" to the plate matter they use.
1t is not over-estimating it to say that
not one-half the editors and publish
ers of newspapers who use plate mat
ter in their papers ever read it.
They buy it for song, slip it in
when needed to fill a hole. recognize
it instantly when they see it in their
own or another paper and never read
a line of it. The less discerning
reader finds something in it to inter
est him. and, incidentally, gets the
impression meant for him.
From what has been disclosed so
far even, it seems that Congress could
spend a year in byways such as this
and learn something new every day.
Certainly, a great many people who
never heard of patent insides" are
going to learn something about them
if the committee goes to the bottom
of this press" lobby. Naturally
there can be little legislation to pre-
vent that sort Of lobbying, but the
public will be told that a grain OF salt
is needed with plate matter" More
over, newspapers owned by Interests

Washington, July 19.-What pub

exposed by the senate lobby probe,
of the senate feels about the matter
as does Senator ONerman, chairman
of the Investigating Committee. He
believes that, though a great deal
of publicity has already been given
about the operations of the lobby,
there is much significance in the state
of affairs that has not yet penetrated
the public's conscience.
The revelations so far have Leen
utterly astounding" said Senator
Overman today. The investigation
has not only proved the mild state
ment of the President, but has swept
far beyond that. 1t has shown that
there has been in the capital for many
years an invisible government an In
fiuence w9lich has foisted itself con-
stantly on the representative OF the
people to accomplish the ends of the
few; that this influence has not been
content to stop at what it could do
by suggestion and pleas, but that il
has reached out into the districts OF
the congressman and waged cam
paigns against their reelection. 1t
has sought to intimidate those whom
IL could NOT DTspade
Has Existed for Years
THAT this invisible government
has existed has been the claim OF the
democrats for several years, but fen
Of thos who proclaimed it the loudest
suspected that the situation was as
bad as it has actually been proven to
be be in this investigation. Many an
honest congressman has felt the in
huence OF the lobby in his district
and here in Washington, but he was
not aware Of the influence being exert
ed with equal vigor against his col
leagues at the same time If any
thing is a menace to free government,
it is certainly condition such as has
been disclosed by this investigation"
