heartily echo the mistake.
Thus Louisiana, for example, has
every appearance of being as stauncb-
Iy in favor of protection az ever
Pennsylvan Ia was-and for the same
reason. Interests have grown so rich
aud powerful through protection that
their advantage seems to he the ad
vantage of the community. States
men and journalists there speak of
the proposal to remove the duty from
sugar in exactly the same heated
terms that Pennsy lvania representa-
tives apply to proposals to lower the
duty on steel.
The same system will produce the
same fruit anywhere. For a good
while IL will be exceedingly difficult
to get a tariff bill considered as a
whole or IN its effect upon the whole
country. So long as a complex sys-
tenn of protection is retained every
tariff bill will be a local issue, and
every special interest that is touched
will get its bitter protest voiced,
whether it is located in the north or
south

The N eHaHce of the
Lobby
lMissouIIap, ProeressIvel

NMlHeoulihn, froBrehbiNe)
Woodrow Wilson Is up against the
lobby. The president may be ian
inexperienced politician. hut he is
able to recognize lobby when he
sees It and he does not hesitate to
call It by its right name.
The lubby lists are so thick IN Washs
ington, according Co the state ent
made by the president, "that one
couldn't throw a brick without hit
ting one. " And Mr.. Wilson express
e&aSgret that the people cannot have
10y to Offset this lobby of the
specs - Interests. He believes It
would be a good plan to fight fire
with fire. That would be all right if
the people we're able to maintain a
lobby; but 1t is manifestly an i'm
possibility. The interests have their
organized force and they shift It 20
Washington al moments notice,
when they think it Is needed there.
The people of Montana can sympa.
thize with the president Ia his present
dilemma. They have been through
the eNperienoe-noL once but as often
as the Legislature haa met They
have know more about the lobby than
President Wilson knows for they
have seen the lobby; they have seen
men threatened Into submi ssiou; they
have witnessed the wreck of promis
ing characters all through the ope

Asome pointers IN the matter of
lbby. This state could tell the
: bent of the incident when lob
oy leader rushed madly upon the
floor of the state senate and there,
openly aud regardless of law and de-
oenoy. piled his traffic while a vote
was pending. She could tell the
president of themany cases of broken
faith and violated pledges, of shame
full threats aud abuse aud bribery and
oaiolery.
There are pending laws before con
gress for the regulation aud control
OF the lobby. Perhaps the present
notorious operation of the agents of
the interests will have a good infiu
enoe upon this legislation. II the
lobby work in Washington, of which
the president complains, should turn
out to be a boomerang, it would be d
great thing for the country.

will come when an outraged public

constantly to reiterste his declara
tion concerning this great menace
Unless the lobby is controlled, oul

New Orleans May 9.-The price Of cot

COTTON LOSES
EARLY STRENGTH
Market Weakens After an
Early Advance and Close
Is Net Unchanged

New York. May 9.-The cotton market
showed considerable strength during to-
dayis earlier trading but weakened in
the afternoon and closed steady net un-
changed to points lower. The opening
was steady at an advance of 3 to points
on covering by some of yesterdays sellers
who seemed to be disappointed that the
weather map showed no trace of the
showers or scattering rains privately re-
ported in the eastern belt yesterday. The
eastern belt forecast for generally clear
weather added tc the nervousness over
the new crop outlook, and while Liver
pool made a somewhat Indifferent show
Ing this was attributed to realizing for
over the holidays. At any rate the mar
ket here worked higher during the morn
ing on quite an active demand from
shorts, trade interests and houses with
foreign connections Juply contracts sold
at ll.62 and October at II 06 or about to
II points net higher, but at this level
offerings increased and when the market
began to ease off, selling became more
aggressive. Renewed reports of show
ers in the eastern belt were partly con-
firmed by the official weather details,
while the forecast for unsettled weather
ana showers in the western belt was
taken as confirming private predictions
that the low barometer in the far west
would work across the country causing
more or less precipitation in the belt early
next week. This doubtless encouraged
the late selling movement in connection
with a bearish view of the week -end fig
ures, but offerings We're well enough taken
by local bulls or by continued covering
to give the market quite a steady under
tone at the close, which was a couple of
points up from the lowest. Private cables
reported that Manchester was dgoo
buyer in Liverpool late today and there
was nothing in the general news to in
dicate any material change in the south
ern spot situation Liverpool will he closed
tomorrow, also on Monday, Friday and
Saturday of next week

the absence of important offerings. Euro
