Present Plan Is Not a Personal Ap.
peal TO Senators, but an Attempt to
Influence Them by Means Of Public
Pressure From Various Sources.
Washington, June 6.--The lobby
investigation has disclosed the ac.
tivity of powerful lobbying interests
of new character" was the opinion
expressed by Chairman Overman OF
the committee.
I'VE have developed thoroughly the
fact that there is powerful and con
certed lobbying" he said.
''lt is not the personal appeal to
senator's, but organized activity to
mold public sentiment and to influence
senators by means of public pressure
from various sources. IL is insidious
TO the extent that this organized cam.
paign often partake of misrepresen-
tation and misinformation."
Although more than half the senate
has testified to the absence of a 'nu-
merous and insidious lobby" with de-
signs upon the tariff bill the senate
investigating committee resumed the
hunt, determined that the sergeant-at.
arms would issue more subpoenas.
Although Chairman Overman would
not admit that the committee was re-
Ceiving aid from the White House the
opinion prevailed that the names Of
some of the men summoned have
been suggested by President Wilson.
Smith Defines a Lobbyist.
Senator Hoke Smith, after a talk
with President Wilson, defined a
lobbyist"
Every one is entitled to his day in
court" said the senator, "and have
always considered that a legislative
body sat as a court Any attempt to
influence it's judgment after the argu.
ment is presented, by seeking again
and again to create sentiment and
work upon the judgment of the mem.
bers Of congress is insidious and high.
ly Objectionable lobbying
'I think IL will be perfectly appar.
ent that at the end of the investiga-
tion now being conducted that there
have been organized forces here on
sugar and wool which have maintained
their offices long after they had pre-.
sented their arguments.
"The effect Of this investigation will
reach, | am sure, legislative bodies
throughout the country and will radi-
ate a purifying influence on legisla-
ton"
Senator Goff, as witness, said his
Virginia coal property brought him
about $4,000 a year in royalties;
while his oil properties paid him about
$4,000 a year. No one had approached
him on the tariff and he knew of no
lobby influence in Washington.
Senator Sherman said his interest
in the tariff was limited to farm prod.
ucts and only because he made farm
loans. He had no professional con.
nection with any one affected.

TAIEs-UNION Is A GOOD TORY

Prominent Floridians express sin
cere regret that Senator Fletcher will
be drawn away from his duties in
Washington to meet the opposition
that has developed on the part of
competitors who only plead their de-
sire to hold office. But didn't we
choose the primary which makes
each individual the sole judge of po-
litica1 moyements.-Times- Union.
This is just one of the numerous
slaps at the primary which the
Times-Union is continually making
and as Senator FIetcher's name is
coupled Herewith it can hardly aid
that gentleman in his race although
no one ought to be influenced by
anything the Times-Union says. The
Times-UniOn of course assumes that
the individual voters are not compe-
tent to be the judges of what is best
for their own interests. Consequent
II some superior order of beings,
like the men who control the Jack
sonvilIe corporation paper, should
have the power and privilege of Sc
Letting the public officials who must
be the guardians rather than the
public servants of these incompetent
individual voters.-Pensacola Jour
nal
The Times-Union is a typical tory
paper, only differing from the Court
Gazette by believing in dollar right
instead of divine right. It's seldom
that it lavishes its adulation on as
good a man as Senator Fletcher. He
is probably too courteous to tell it to
shut up, but would doubtless prefer
its silence.

THE CURRENCY BILL

A complete revision of American
banking and currency methods is
proposed in the democratic currency
bill which was started on its way to
the statute books Thursday.
The measure would eliminate the
present American bank note system
under which banks issue currency
against government bonds, and estab-
lish a currency issued by twelve fed
eral reserve banks based on sound
commercial paper which the govern
ment assumes the responsibility of
redeeming.
1t would place virtually every
phase of banking under the control
of a federal reserve board of seven
members, appointed by the President
and a council of bankers, which
would have only advisory powers.
The system would be administered
thru revenue banks in twelve geo
graphical divisions of the country,
each capitalized at about $5,000,000,
which capital must be subscribed by
banks in the reserve district At the
eleventh hour the House wrote into
the bill a disclaimer of any inten-
ton to alter the gold money STAN
dard fixed by law.

OFFENSE NOT INTENDED

The Savannah Morning News
says: That incident at Chattanooga
Wednesday, when the Confederate
veterans were requested to drop out
of the Union veterans parade after
having been invited to take part by
Forsyth Post, G. A. R.. should not
be magnified. AS we understand it,
the affair was the result Of an I'M
fortunate misunderstanding That
the Confederate veterans had been
invited was not known to the G. A.
R. authorities and the rules barring
all but Union veterans from the pa
rade was not intended for them, but
for a body of women from Ohio, who
had planned to march in the parade,
apparently unasked and unwelcomed.
The Confederates took their rejec-
ton in good part and promptly invit-
ed the veterans in. blue to visit them
the next night, to show there was no
hard feeling on their part. The men
in grey were cheered repeatedly by
the veterans in blue. The incident
brought out clearly the fact that the
best of feeling prevails between the
veterans of the north and Of the
south.

THE COUNTRY IS READY
FOR THE NEW TARIFF

Says the New York World: Two
things are noticeable as the new tar
if is about 10 take effect-frst. that
business of all kinds is proceeding
with increased energy and optimism,
and secondly, that nowhere is there
a marking up OF prices on the neces-
saries of life.
Business in highly favored lines
has responded in this fashion to the
stimulus of privilege and monopoly
when tariffs for extortion have been
adopted, but in this instance practi-
cally all business feels the impulse
of freedom and justice.
If under the new and lower sched-
ules the cost of living does not i'm
mediately come down. it is certain
that it is not going to be increased.
For the first time since the war tariff
was imposed upon the people a half
century ago, we have in sight a new
tariff that cannot be urged as an ex-
cuse for higher prices.
The two things, business acquies-
cence and prices stable or showing a
tendency to decline, go together
They prove that the country is ready
for the tax reduction; that it nc
longer leans helplessIy upon tariffs
that it is weary of monopolistic
shackles, and that from this time
forward there must be freer trade
and wider markets.
