INTERESTS LOBBY
AGAINST TARIFF
PRESIDENT CHARACTERIzES THE
PRACTICE INSlDIOUS.
Maintains Money Without
Limit Is Being Used to In
auence Opinion.

Smashing tradition once again.
President Wilson has talked in no un-
certain terms about the desperate
efforts being made in Washington by
an industrious and insidious" lobby
which. he said. is using Zig money to
affect the tariff bill.
II think, /" said the President "that
the publis ought to know the extra
ordinary exertions which are being
made by lobby in Washington to
gain recognition for certain alterations
in the tariff hill. Washington has
seldom seen so numerous, industrious
and insidious a lobby. The news
papers are filed with paid advertise
ments calculated TO mislsad the judg.
ment of public men and the public
opinion of the country itself. M
"There is every evidence that money
without limit is being spent to sus-
tain this lobby and to create the ap-
pearanoe of pressure Of public opin-
ion antagonistio 10 some of the chief
items of the tariff bill.
ssIt is of serious interest to the ooun-
try that the people at large should
have no LOBBY, should be voiceless in
these matters, while great bodies OF
astute men seek to create artificial
opinion and to overcome the interests
of the public for their private profit,
ut is thoroughly worth while that
the people of the country should have
knowledge Of this matter. Only pub
lilo opinion can check and destroy it.
The government in all its branches
should be relieved of this intolerable
burden, this constant interruption of
the calm progress of debate. | knew
that in this am speaking for the
mem bers of the two houses. who would
rejoice as much as would to be re-
lieved from an intolerable situation. "
President Wilson was moved to
make this statement tecause, be said,
he did not believe the nation was ad
vised of the extremities to which the
lobbyists have gone. He gently ohided
the newspaper men at his semi-weekly
talk with them, saying he did not be-
lieve the press had adequately advised
the country of the organized forces
which are at work.
| "You can't throw brick in Wash
ington today without hitting lobby
ist," the President said humorously.
He asserted he had no fear that the
campaign Of the lobbyists would te
successful, and added that he did not
mean. by his statement, that the lob
byists were corrupt--only that they
were waging campaign of misrep-
resentatioD.

Car and Pole Meet.

A slight commotion was created on
the streets of Weston Thursday just
before dinner when Michigan-4O
auto driven by Mrs. Hugh Mcintyre
of Athena, tried to climb telephone
pole on north Water street; but the
bloomIn' thing didn't have any spurs
on so contented itself by biting q
chunk out Of the pole and tearing the
wires loose. The occupants Of the car
were slightly scram bled but no one
was seriously injured. The car seemed
to have withstood the collision, as il
returned to Athena as though eating
telephone poles were part of its daily
ration. - Weston Leader.
