People Averse to Lobbying.


 The man in charge of the document room at the Capitol Building in Wash ington declares that demand for bills by non-members of Congress has fal- len off remarkably in the last few months. He explains his decreased business in handing out bills intro sduced in Congress is due to the fact that nearly all of the lobbyists have left town, as a result of the fight made upon them by President Wilson.
 In driving the lobbyists out of Washington, President Wilson has un- common people. They are natural easily understood.
 If "a man living in Calf fornia had a lawsuit before a judge in far-away New York, and knew that his rival in the litigation was in the habit of dining with the court and spending an hour or two daily in private con- versation with him .sin chambers" he would, if he was an average human being, be inclined to be g. little ner- vous over the situation. And that Is about the way it is with the consum- CTS of the United States. They were just little bit nervous over the fact that special privilege was paying men $1,000 a month to persuade their rep resentatives to vote for the interests of the tariff trusts instead of the fn- terests of the consumers.
 But thanks to President Wilson, the lobbyists have been frightened away from the National Capitol, and it is to be hoped they will not return.
