may be shown by further investi-
cation to have been expended in
Washington or elsewhere can only
be surmised.
"a At least five men who are
here as members of the lobby have
testified that they were under pay
from ten to twelve thousand dol
lars per year each.
"5 These gentlemen have ap-
peared before committees, have
been-to see the President, have
visited, first and last nearly every
member Of the Senate, have filed
briefs presenting their cause, and
have filled the newspapers with
advertisements signed under the
name of 1.-The Domestic Sugar Pro-
ducers." The particular feature of
their work is the least objection
sble.
&c Months ago they began an
attempt to in6ame public opinion
and legislative opinion by this de-
vice. They employed skilled news
paper men and caused news arti-
cles or descriptive stories 10 be
written into which they slyly in
serted an argument in favor of the
beet sugar industry. Practically
all of these articles were so pre-
pared as to lead the reader to be-
lieve that they were ordinary news
paper articles put forth as matters
of news whereas in fact they were
written and disseminated for the
purpose of defeating reform in
] the sugar schedule. These articles,
including editorials were accepted
by numerous papers throughout
the United States. They appeared
under date lines indicating that
they were teleRraphed in the re-
gular way employed by newspaper
correspondents and press associa-
tions, Surely this was insidious. 1t
was sly; it was full of plots; it was
intended to entrap; it was crafty
and willy.
81 But these gentlemen were
not content with creating q public
sentiment through the press. The
deliberately sought by the adoption
of business methods working
through bushes channels, to bring
pressure to bear upon Senators and
Representatives in Congress from
their home constituency and to
convince these legislators that
there was a genuine demand by
their home people that the Under
wood bill be not passed. To this
end they started what they describ-
ed as the endless chain system. The
sugar planters Of Louisiana appeal
ed to all of the business interests
of New Orleans. The heet sugar
people resorted to like methods.
The sugar planters of Hawaii ap-
pealed to all their business cpnnec-
tionS in the States. They requested
these business connections at once
to write or wire their congressman
and Senators protesting against
the passage Of the bill upon the
ground that its passage would in
jure those home citizens thus ap-
pealed to. The matter may be sum-
med up almost in the language
Of one of the sugar lobby: eve
(the sugar men) we're against the
bill for business reasons; we ap-
pealed to the business men Of New
Orleans to help defeat the bill for
business reasons, and these last in
turn appealed to their Senators
and Congressman for business rea-
sons. The witness concluded in sub
stance with this language: Every
body is controlled by business rea-
sons"

|lNGRESS LOBBY MUST1 GO

Washington July 1.-THE lobby
must go" says United States Sena-
Tor James A Reed Of Missouri cat
Its best a Legislative lobby is
Nuisance; at it's worst is criminal;
l1 every stage of it is menace"
AsSenator Reed is a member of the
Senate Lobby Committee. For days
ssic has been interrogating wit
ifesses before that Committee. He
hectares without another single
word of testimony being taken,
PRESIDENT Wilson's charges that
dangerous and insidious lobby is in
Existence in Washington have heen
:substantiated in every way.
8 "The time has come in this coun.
stry." says Senator Reed, when the
government ought to be considered
as something besides a great goose
but Of which every selfish hand is
permitted to pluck its bunch of
Feathers. Certainly the tim e has
come when, these selfish interests
appear, the President is justified in
notifying the people that the Phil
istines are upon US.
81 do not include in the term
lobby those men who come to the
capitol, appear before a proper
committee. present their case open
Iy and publicly and then retire to
their homes. / do include in the
term those who make their stay
more or less permanent: who effect
an Organization and embark un Il
crusade to promoter or prevent
legislation by bringing pressure TO
bear Gpon the legislators, or who
employ methods more reprehen-
sible.
eat it's very best, the objection
lies that lobby presents only one
side Of the case, and that if con-
duct skillfully, it is likely to
afft the judgment even of intelli-
gent men.
Ninety times out of hundred a
lobby is composed of men who are
actuated by selfish motives. The
lobbyist has an axe to grind. Gen.
orally he is engaged in a scheme to
put money into his own purse. This
latter classification embraces prae-
tically all of those gentlemen who
4come to Washington about the time
a tariff bill is under discussion.
"There is a lobby at Washington.
In my opinoin it is an insidious lob
by. 1t fills every element of Web
sters definition, it is full of plots;
1t is watching for an opportunity
to ensnare; it has attempted to en-
trap; it is characterized by treach-
cry and deceit; it is sly, crafty and
willy. l may add, it is selfish to
the last extreme.
. The business view of two of it's
leaders is illustrated by the fact
that the comrnander-in-chief Of the
sugar lobbyists sent here by the
planters of Honolulu, when asked
by Senator Waslh. Of coures it
takes money to do all these things
you have told US about? answered: !:
Precisely. And will say that if
we paid out 100000 we would
consider it very small in compuri-
son with the 80.00O.O00 that we
have got involved in this indus
try"
Thus far the evidence has dis
closed:
81. That eighteen months ago
the Honolulu and Louisiana planters
land, it will be shown, the beet
sugar mill proprietary began their
campaign to maintain the present
tariff.

these gentlemen likewise assem-
bledS3d made common cause.

cannibarism and sentimsnt.

The civilized world is agreed in re-
garding the practice Of cannibalism as
reprehensible and detestable. But an
article In the Gazette de Hollande is
devoted to proving that the popular
ideas of cannibalism. and In particular
OF Its motives, are completely false.
The cannibal is generally represented
as degraded being led to an inhuman
practice by the grossness Of his appe-
utes. On the contrary, insists the
Dutch writer. the vast majority Of can
nibals are such against their own wish
es, obeying the voice Of sentiment.
Some respected the dead man during
his life and are anxious to insure a
worthy burial for him. Others are
prompted by the desire to assimilate
the dead mans virtues in the process
Of digestion. while third class are ac-
tuated by motives Of revenge and find
their satisfaction In this supreme In.
suit. Either piety or vengeance is the
cause OF cannibalism.
