 Powerful Hobbies are now in Wash ington endeavoring to persuade these members of Congress to break their pledges to the people and betray the consumers of the land, to the end that 9 few men. already rich beyond the dreams of avarice. may add to their swollen fortunes.
 It was to place before the public this state of affairs that President Wl1- son used his. now famous statement. in which. referring to these Hobbies, he said:
 washington has seldom seen so nu- merous, so Industrious, or so insid- tous a lobby. There is every evil dence that money without a limit is being spent to sustain this lobby and to create an appearance of a pressure of public opinion antagonistic to some of the chief items of the tariff bilI''

grade education had been sent to work in a paper-gooda factory at S2 a week. .sThe question Why did you leave schooI?' was put to some 3s6 more mature workers in the corset trade. Ninety-one per cent. of these women had left school between the ages of 18 and 16 and fully 50 per cenb because of their dislike of school or because they wanted to go to work Of "A workers in a clothing factry s5 per cent had left school between the ages of 8 and 16. 25 per cent. of their own volition.'
 Tn the opinion of the authors of the bulletin, conditions such as were found in Worcester emphasize the irn- perattve need for special training of a practical sort for girls between the ages of 3 and 15. In the main the children left school simply because they dislixed the school work. Not getting the kind of training they might have liked and would have profited by, they blindly Joined the army of shifting, inefficient, discon- tented girls that go from one nnonot- onous factory job to another. and, be- cause of their lack of training, rarely rise above the class of Iow-paid, un- skilled workers

WHY GIRLS LEAVE SCHOOL

- A
 The idea that children leave school tc go to work. because their parents need tho money. Is vigorously combat ted In a bulletin just issued by the United seates Bureau of Educadon. The authors of the bulletin have made careful study of trade and labor conditions among girls in Worcester, Mass, preliminary to the establish nsut of a trade school for girls. They find that from one-half to three fourtlns of the girls at work in the fac- tories could have had further school ing if they had wanted to or if their parents had cared to insist upon it.
 The survey showed that the number of girls between IA and 1s years of age who leave school is constantly in creasing- During the past five years many more girls between those ages left the Worcester schools than can be accounted for by increase in popula- tion- Only about IT per cent of them had finished the grammar schools: most of them left in the sixth and seventh grades
 why did the girls leave school? various reasons were assigned by the girls themselves. Some thirty girls said they .'did notlike schooI:'' ''cou1d not get along with the teacher:'' were not promoteds. or wanted to go to work Two were working to help pay fer $ piano. One of these was a cash girl o9 14 years who had left the ninth grade to go to work in a department store for $2, later $2.5O 2. week. An other was a girl of 15 from the eighth grade, who went to work in a corset factory for s1 and rose to $4.s2- Still another girl was taking music lessons and contributing to the payment on The piano.
 Twenty-seven girls were found at home. In some cases they had left to help in housswork, while a. few had left at 8 time of temporary stress and then had not returned to school Four girls had changed places with the mother, who worked in a. corset fac- tory, laundry. or some such place. while the girl. whose wage-earning power was small. kept house for the mother of the children
 Curious differences as to what the parents thought they could afford 
 were discovered; -aThe mother of q family of children. living in ap- parent1y direst poverty, would have been glad to have sacrificed and pinch se ss5u further to have had her daugh- ter stay in school longer, if she would .'' The mother of another family of 6, living in comfortable apartment house. with hardwood floors. piano, and other 1uxuries, said her daughter wished to stay in school longer. but. the burden of supporting the family was too heavy for the father to bear a1ones so the girl was taken out of school to go to work A visit to a Swedish family revealed 8 carpenter and his wife, 8 wasterwman. who had just built and owned a new three story apartment house.

I and
 Whereas, newspapers are being hll- ed with paid advertisements calculat- ed to create an artificial public opin- ion against certain items of the Tar fir Bill; and
 Whereas, It is charged and there is reason to believe that unlimited funds have been placed at the disposal of this lobby for the purpose of over coming the interests of the public for the private profit of the interests which they represent; and
 Whereas, The public maintains no lobby and is powerless to reply to the paid advertisements of any lobby rep resenting financial interests; and
 Whereas, Bills are pending in Con gress to regulate and control the op- eration of Hobbies at the National Cap ftol and it is advisable to gather any and all facts bearing on the aforesaid conditions and charges or in any way relating thereto, as basis for reme- dial purposes; therefore be it
 Resolved That a special committee of five members be appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representa- lives to sit during the sessions Of the House and during the recess of Con- gress for the purpose of Investigating and reporting to Congress the facts in connection with the operation of any lobby or Hobbies in Washington; said committee shall inquire into the sour bies are supplied with funds, and the. amount of funds so contributed: and shall also ascertain where and how these funds are expended and for what immediate and ultimate pur- pose; and shall go into a general in- qutry to learn the methods by which any lobby seeks to influence legis1a- ton in Congress-
 If members of Congress were to al- low themselves to be guided by the views of the lobbyists, they would were not in good faith when they yot- ed for tartn. revision downward. Or, if they were in good faith at the time, that they have since changed their minds, deciding they do not de- sire the monopoIfes of the tarin trusts 4nterfered with.
 But President Wilson is not being fooled. Nor is the average member of Congress. They know that for every man who beseeches them in Washington to retain the tariff on su- gar. there are nine hundred and nine- ty-nine of their constituents who are not writing letters. but who demand that promises made to them before election be kept after election. and es- peciaI1y the downward revision of the tarin on the vital necessaries of life.
 President Wilson and the members of Congress also know that every pen ny of the extra dividends that the lob by interests will make by virtue of legislation granting them special priv i1eges. must come from the pockets of the men, women and children in the districts back home.
 It will be recalled that President Taft once faced the same crisis that members of Congress face now. He listened to the voices at his ear in ! Washington, whom the late Senator Deliver described as linen who knew exactly what they wanted'' President Taft forgot the folks at home who do not write letters, and on the veryI first election day following they got revenge. The lobbyists in Washing | ton whose counsel he had accepted | were power1ess to save him from the | wrath of the home folks who vote. but | who maintain no Hobbies in Washing ton.
