Popular Mechanics for July.

There are $50 articles and 419 pic
lures in the July number of the Pop
ular Mechanics magazine. Among the
most interesting developments for the
month is the use Of the flying boat as
vehicle for business travel. Mr..
Harold F. Mccormick of Chicago re-
Gently purchased Curtiss machine to
be used for this purpose and a page of
views show the craft and some of its
unusual features.
Pages of views are used also to show
the last of the old English convict
ships, the Success" which will be on
exhibition at the Panama Pacific ex-
position; the Chamber of Commerce
building at Cincinnati, declared the
highest building between the oceans;
New York's memorial to the Maine"
heroes; Omaha's restoration; the 12-
inch guns of the battleship Mime
sota;" scientific methods of shoveling:
and the curious tools of japanese
workmen.
"A Model Movie" which, however,
proved to be defective in one vital
point, is the subject of an editorial by
H. H. Dindsor. An amusing true
story with a yellow" streak is also
related by Mr.. Windsor. Other fea.

j. HAM LEWIS.
(By Walt MasOn.)

:. :. !. :. !. !. = :. :. !. :. = :. ;. :.
j. Ham will be going with whiskers
allowing to stand in the senate, OBJ
served of all eyes; his speeches will
thunder the fretted dome under, the
logic of one who is gifted and wise.
But none will be noting the sages he's
quoting, the facts he advances, the
theories he'll spin; for all will be gaz-
ing upon that amazing assortment OF
spinach that hangs from his chin. His
whiskers are flossy and cleaning and
glossy, like tropical verdure, luxuri-
ant, rank; they're ripping and wav-
ing, they're strangers to shaving,
they're red as the nose of a teetotal
crank. He's fine at debating, he's good
at orating-his talents are wasted,
though slicker than grease; no odds
what he'll utter, the senate will NUT.
ter: "The man with the whiskers Is
speaking piece!" In mastery fash
ion, all throbbing with passion, he'll
argue some question important and
deep; congressional kinglets will look
at his ringlets and yearn for barber
and then 60 to sleep. He'll deal in the
splendor of pathos so tender 'twoul,1
melt stone image, or cen suffragette:
the senate awaking, will see his beard
shaking, and mutter: odd whiskers
is whiskering yeti" And thus q man
gifted, whose soul is uplifted with
hopes that he'll see new era begin.
Is doomed to be laughed at and jollied
and chaffed at, because of the lilacs
affecting his chin.

TWO BIG CORN SHOWS.

The premium lists for the corn
shows to be held at Colfax, Wash.
and at Pendleton, Ore, next Deem
Der, under the auspices of the Oregon
Washington Railroad Navigation
company have just been issued and Of
fer many valuable prizes, in cash ami
implements, for large variety of ex.
hibits that relate to corn culture.
That the shows, the first of their
kind ever undertaken west of the
Rocky mountains, are to be a great
success is indicated in the fact that
the O.-W. R. & N. has distributed
great quantity Of seed to farmers ask
ing for 1t and interest in the contest
has grown rapidly in the agricultural
sections.
r. B. Diller, traffic manager of the
O.-W. r. & ~, has given the cam
paign of corn raising his constant and
enthusiastic attention. In a recent in
terview he said 1.-The growing of
corn means more and better live stock
and greater development of agricul-
ture generally, which is essential to
the future growth and welfare of the
Northwest. We hope to see the time
when the corn crop of Washington and
Oregon will be as large as the wheat
crop. and the latter even larger than
1t Is at present"
The premium lists announce prizes
to the value of $1,000 in cash and farm
implements for the best exhibits OF
corn grown in the territory tributary
to the Oregon-Washington Railroad &
Navigation company during the sea-
son of 1913. A complete description
OF the implements to be awarded is
also given, together with instructions
by the companys agricuturist, C. l..
Smith, on how to prepare the ground
and plant corn. Those who desire
copies Of this premium list may secure
them by applying to any local agent OF
the O.-W. r. & N.

Press Comment
The Right to Lobby.
Organs Commoner)

No one questions the right of anv
man or interest to be heard by con.
sressional or legislative COMMITTEES,
with respect to legislation that might
affect a particular business. To denv
such a privilege would be to reject tho
right of petition and that right must
in popular government be preserved
There are, too, some who think that II
is not improper for the lobbyist to die.
cuss these matters with legislators as
individuals. On this point there will,
be marked difference of opinion. II
will be agreed, however, that the safer
course for the best interests of al,
concerned would be for the represen.
tative of special interest to confine bis
efforts to pleas before regularly con.
stituted committees sitting in public
hearing. The legislator must be given
all the arguments pro and con upon
every proposition with which he is TO
deal. But every individual right NAV
be preserved when these arguments
are presented in public way. In
this view the time may come when the
representative of special interests will
be denied the privilege of making their
arguments to legislators as individuals
and required to make their pleas to
regularly organized committees hold.
ing public sessions. In the meantime.
however, 1t will be agreed that the oc.
cupation of every man who represents
special interest in the matter of legis.
lation at the national capital should
be known to the public. Some of these
lobbyists have been uncovered in the
investigations set on foot by the presi.
dent. Congressional investigation
ought not, however, to be necessary
for this purpose. There should be a
law requiring every lobbyist or agent
of special interests to formally reg
lister at the national capital just as
these gentlemen are required to regis.
ter at many of the state capitals. The
public interest is entitled to every
safeguard.
