LOBBYING FROM NEW ANGLE.

the following incident happened:

his finished products were reduced, du-
ties on his raw material increased.
He went after it in the "old way"
A man somewhat on the order of the
old-type lobbyist, was retained, one
that was supposed to have political
influence" He appeared in Washing
ton before the committee that had the
bill in hand. And he talked the old
talk, the old glittering generalities, the
old tiap-doodle spread-eagle, the old
political dickering. %...
And he got nothing done.
Then a young man, one of the heads
of the business, went to Washington
on his own hook and appeared before
the same committee.
He talked facts. Material cost so
much, labor so much, unavoidable
waste so much, patterns and new nov
elites so much. The efficiency of the
plan was thus and so. He talked the
new way He was neither an orator
lobbyist nor even known in Washing
ton.
The bill was changed within TWEEN.

The remedy might be for the police
to force the hotel carts into the

ARMED INTERVENTION.

Armed Intervention is very serious
proposition and there must be some
great and potent reason to justify it.
Ii Mexico cannot protect Americans
and foreigners in that country and
there were danger Of a massacre, that
would justify us in sending down an
army to protect our own citizens and
those Of other nations. ..-..
About the only other cause would be
Ythe manifest failure of Mexicans to es-
tablish a government of their own, and
this has not been made manifest.
The United States a half century ago
had revolution of its own. We de-
manded that all other nations keep
hands off, Had Mexico sided with the
south, which would have been entirely
natural, the result might have been
much different.
We think that President Wilson is
entirely justified in refusing recogni-
ton to Huerta. With a large part of
that country in revolt it will be i'm
possible for him to remain as dictator
for any great length of time. Denied
recognition by the leading govern
ments he would be shut off from max
Ing loans, and he cannot collect taxes
enough to keep his army loyal
The United States long ago adopted
the Monroe policy, which is that it will
not permit any European or Asiatic
power to take a hand in the govern.
ment of any American country-and
having assumed this attitude it be-
comes responsible to the entire world
for the protection of foreign citizens
as we'll as of it's own in the sister
American republics.
The serious problem in Mexico is
that the people are not fitted for sell
government in the same degree as are
the people Of the United States. Presi
dent Diaz was reasonably successful
for several years in maintaining order
but there never was any rule of the
people. His officials, under a LONG
lease of power, grew to be corrupt anG
oppressive, until there was a revolt
Madero undoubtedly tried to do his
best, but he was no Diaz in strength OF
foresight, and was betrayed and muir
dered by his own officials.
1t is going to be long process tc
establish a real republic in that un
happy country The United States
might send down an army of million
men and suppress the various factions
and establish government, but il
would be no government by the Mexi
can people. and there would be other
revolutions. The Mexican people them
selves have got to work out their owl
salvation.
! There is no occasion for Mysteries
President Wilson IS pursuing a safe
and sane highway. The people OF the
United States will show good sense If
giving him their support.

A South Dakota pastor declared
that if he would turn a double SOM
ersault here tonight" the news of it
would be heralded by the press over
the nation, while if he preached a
sermon of great power" no attention
would be paid to it by the press. The
South Dakota pastor is mistaken in
his conception of what a great sermon
is. If he were capable of preaching
sermon of such force as to cause some
of his congregation to turn double
somersault," spiritually at least, news
Of his great work would be heralded
