Lobby Revelations

NOW that Martin NJ. Mull9all,
who long has been known i'll Wash
ington as an active lobbyist. is out
with a sworn statement concerning
his lobbying feats in the past. the
senatorial investigation committee is
doing right in asking that it be gwen
authority to investigate lobbying in
past congresses as we'll as the one
now in session.
The people, of course, are interest
ed to have President Wilson's charge
that pernicious lobbying has been
practiced in this congress verified.
but that is not the full extent Of
their interest. They also would be
pleased to see this lobbying game re
vealed in all of its convolutions. For
| a long time there has been no con-
! gress over which a pail of lobby
! rumor smoke has not settled. 1t
is an old saying that there is no
| smoke without some flame. and the
| public would be glad to know exact
" how much flame has been requir-
| ed to raise this smoke in congress-
ional halls.
/ Now that Mulhall-for some rea-
son which is not given-has cOnclud-
ed to talk right out in meeting. it
is not unreasonable to presume thJt
a clear understanding of lobbying
methods and the ones susceptible to
! them will be attained. As he has
! sworn to his statement. he cannot
we'll deny its assertions. whatever
influence might be brought to bear
; on him to cause him to do so. All
that is needed now is to give the
senatorial committee such power
that its right to investigate lobbying
both past and present cannot Dc
questioned, and it is to be hoped
that there is no senator who has
, personal reasons to object to grant
ing such power.
1t looks as if we might be on the
verge of some particularly interest
ing revelations. including names and
dates. and it must be hoped that
nothing will interfere with their
completion.-Sacramento Union.

No Snap Judgment

GOVERNOR ODDIE is not 60
ing to take any snap Judgment in
the affairs of the State Bank case.
He has reviewed the report and the
recommendation of the committee.
and in reply has asked for the other
side of the story. This may seem
strange to the fanatics and the
others who would condemn II II
who was in charge over six months,
but it happens that thi, case has
two sides as we'll as the other mat
tiers that are threshed out in dis
pute.
If is not a matter of friendship
in any case, business is never along
such lines. it i simply a matter OF
Justice. The accusations against
Judge Langan are severe, or rather
the limitations are such. as there
has never been any direct charge
against him. The same can be said
of Receiver Wildes. The one charge
that he drew a double salary. which
he contends he did not, has never
been proven. If he had there wa,
no great crime. At the present time
tn County Treasurer and Clerk OF
the District Court and also acting
as City Clerk OF this city, Mr.. +.
0. Patterson is drawing down a
county and city salary along with
that of Receiver of the Nye & Orms-
by County defunt bank. 1t has nos
been contended that he is committing
a crime, and he is glad to get the
salary both ways and states so.
Fair play is only right. 1t is so
far easier to accuse a man than 10
prove a statement. In this case no
credits have been recorded where
they belong. The investigation has

Silsbee, that a more beneficial disposal
of 10 barrels of pork had probably never
been made than in this instance"
A Successful Politician
Possessing those indispensable qualifi-
cations of determine ton, suavity and tact
in addition to his fighting capacity, it is
not surprising to find Silsbee on his re-
tirement from the sea entering upon a
remarkably successful political career. In
1917 he became a congressman from Mas
sachusetts, which office he held until 1921,
when he was elected to the house of
representatives of his native state and
two years later to its senate. becoming
It's presiding officer, which seat he held
until 1926, when he insisted on retirement,
In July of the same year he was elected
United States senator from Massachu-
setts afterward becoming the colleague
of Daniel Webster which office he held
until 1885, when he declined reelection.
Another six foot privateersman who en-
tered the political arena was Joseph
Ropes, also of Salem. Mass. who COM
manded the celebrated America on her
first cruise in the war of 1872. This craft
captured cargoes which realized on sale
more than s100o,000 and destroyed British
property of far greater value. Ropes,
like many another Yankee privateersman,
was a born diplomat. He demonstrated
this on his first voyage when he ran
away from home in his early teens. 1t
is said of him that he feared nothing
on earth. in the heaven above or in the
waters beneath but the reproof of his
widowed mother.
He got so far as the West Indies on his
runaway voyage and actually was afraid
to return until assured of the appease-
ment of his mother. Finding that there
was a vessel sailing from the West In
dian port where he was that would reach
home several weeks before he did, he sent
by it an advance peace offering in the
form of barrel of molasses. Records
are silent as to how this brilliant stroke
of diplomacy worked out, but it is likely
that the maternal slipper was not brought
into requistion when the truant returned
In his political career Ropes was chosen
selectman of Salem four times.
Otway Burns owed much of his sue
cess in the North Carolina legislature
to the resourcefulness he displayed when
commanding the little privateer Snap
Dragon. He demonstrated this valua BILE
trait on .March 3. 1914, when he had a
desperate action with an unknown Brit

After a cruise of three months this craft
also was captured, and Tallman was sent
as a prisoner to st. Johns, Newfound-
land. and on being exchanged, went to
Boston. enlisted in another privateer
commanded by John p Rathbourne of
the navy, which was captured.

Havre France Tallman with six others
walked to Nantes, distance of several
hundred miles, begging their subsistence
on the way. There they secured passage
to America. After six weeks schooling
in Boston, all he ever received, here

fortune
Tallman Congressman
on retiring from the sea Iailman De-
came a member of the Massachusetts
house OF representatives from Wool
wich. 1S0l-1s0i. and from Bath, lSO6-ls0I-
He was congressman from the Lincoln
district, tS11-lSl3, and served in the senate
of Maine in 1922 and 1879. While in Con-
gress he voted against declaration OF
war against England. Vet his name ap-
pears for $4,000 on the list of those WHO
subscribed the $lo000000 war loan. There
are scant data concerning his legislative
career but the story IS told that on
certain occasion his energy and fiery
push drove businessY along with IN
wonted expedition which secured "a
short session.
Gauged by present day standards, Tall-
man was politician of no mean order.
He subscribed generously toward fund
for the old North meeting house bell.
