lOBalES NEW AND OLD.

Various circumstances-and Presi'
dent Wilson-have combined to sci
before the country q rather thorough
expose OF methods OF lobbyists in the
United States. Also, the testimony
given before the probing COMMITTEES
of congress has done much to make
the people believe that many of the
''muck-rskers" Of the past few years
have not been overdrawing their
pictures. The public, At first inclined
to cling to its old.fsshtoned belief as
to political integrity, is losing its
old-time faith. There has arisen 10
Washington much smoke, and, even
ct long range, We Of the common herd
believe that We can sense at least q
little fire.
The methods of the Lobbyists at
Washington, however, have been no
more dishonest, no more d~ebsuching
than those that have accompanied
much of M~ontsns's legislation, % far
q that 10 concerned. Big Business
has been % corrupt in its work In
Helena % ever Big Business has
been in Washington. The people
of state and nstion-are learning the
truth Of this, We believe, and the path
OF the lobbyist will never again be as
smooth as IL has been.
There is, however, nothing new-or
even modern-about this lobby thing.
Centuries ago, Special Privilege Jane
around and handed the king some.
thing and took from him the right to
gouge q little more from the people.
History tells us that the old-time lob.
byists were just as "insidious" az
any discovered by Woodrow Wilson,
and that their numbers included mer-
chsnts, and ministers, warriors and
wsrders, pirates prelates. The lobby
is ancient but not honorable. and, 1t
indications count for anything, its
time is about up.-Missoula Sentinel.

The new law, which requires this
registration, was enacted March H.

fact that quite a number Of Rich-

further fact that a number have lost
