DEMOCRATS DISLIKE
INQUIRY ON lOBB|ES
Senators Find Themselves in
Rather Embarrassing Place,
Due to Charges. ...

President Wilson's charges concern
ing the existence of an unusual and
"insidious" lobby in Washington in con-
nection with the tariff bill have put a
most embarrassing problem up to the
Democratic leaders in Congress.
Republican Senators are demanding
legislation. first. to compel lobbyists TO
register and, second. to require an I'M
mediate investigation OF the lobby and
find out who are the lobbyists and what
interests they represent.
1nasmuch as some of the most power
full lobbies are from Democratic States
and are headed by Democrats. the stu
alton is not pleasant for Democratic
leaders. .-.
Senator Cummins of Iowa followed up
the charges Of the President by intro
ducing a resolution calling for an I'M
mediate investigation Of the lobby. Pre-
vtouely. Congressman Tavenner OF IL
linois. Democrat, had introduced a reso-
luton for an Investigation on the House
side. ~.
Senator Cummins. demanded immedi-
ate consideration of his resolution. 1t
was blocked only by an objection from
Senator Owen. Democrat. The DEM
ocratfc leaders were surprised at the
resolution and disconcerted and con-
cluded to consider 1t at a caucus today
and determine what to do about II. The
Republican Senators appeared to be
united for II.
Should the Democrats now refuse to
permit the investigation. or try TO side
track II, they would be put in a peculiar
position before the country.
The Cummins resolution would re-
quire all Senators to give the names Of
persons who have approached them or
written them in the interest Of tariff
law changes: requests the President to
furnish names Of persons referred to
In his statement; and would authorize
the committee to. determine whether the
action OF any lobbyists who might be
discoy cred was proper or improper.

THE VALENTINE.

Next to our rejection of Santa
Claus the worst thing that the sophis-
fication of time does for us is to de-
stroy our interest in the other best
dates in the calendar. If some of
us strove to keep that interest alive
We might know life better and live
longer. One of these days is st Val
entine'S, now near at hand. There
was time in the life of most men
and women Of middle age today when
the approach of February IA meant
a thrill. 1t was day of sentiment
and humor. To the very young it
was an occasion for the exhibition of
irresponsible and frequently cruel
play in the dispatch of "comic''-and
mostly coarse-valentines. Old maids
and bachelors and other grownups OF
we'll known weaknesses and tender
sensibilitieS suffered most, but even
these could afford to forgive and
ignore the thoughtless effrontery of
children. The other and elaborate
valentines, however, if sent anony-
mously, bore a mysterious, even ce.
leStial message. There are many
thousands of women still living to-
day who have some of those lacy
colorful creations preserved in laven
der. And why not? There is toe
little of the tender and innocent ex
preston of distant and respectful
regard for women to be noted among
men just-now, and altogether toe
much of a bolder and degrading ad
miration.
