THE DARK TRICKS OFINSIDIOUS
LOBBYIST.

The investigation of the lobbying in
dustry at Washington by the senate
committee IS developing some sensa-
tional if not startling information as
to the methods and tricks adopted by
lobbyists. The Chicago Tribune is
exposing the lobby and verifying the
presidents charges
The testimony of President Lovett
of the Union Pacific railway and OF
Congressman Palmer Of Pennsylvania
established the fact that big interests
do not hesitate 10 resort to reprehen-
sible trickery, to iniquitCus deception,
and to heavy expenditures of money
to carry out schemes to circumvent
court action and to control legislation
antagonistic to public policies.
Insidious lobbyists nave been con-
stantly on duty at the federal CAPT
tai, secretly at work to influence
public servants by making black ap-
pear white and white. appear black
in order to secure results the employ
ers of the lobbyist desire.
How much the public interests have
been damaged and justice thwar:.i
through the methods adopted by the
insidfous lobbyists is just beginning to
appear, and we may properly assume
that millions have been made by those
who employ the lobbyists, and how
ever many these millions may be.
a much greater damage has been done
to public interests.
Nearly every day the senate com
mittee finds some new evidence of the
dirty work of the insidious Hobbies;
some deviltry attempted or performed
that shows how detrimental to good
and honest government the lobbyists
have become

that our young men oan take an example
from him.
The discussion proved so interesting that
the members regretted that longer time for
