SEEKING FoR SUBSTITUTES.

The Christian Science Monitor has
the following very interesting discus
sion Of a well defined trend of the
times:
Many things that enter necessarily
and prominently into manufacture and
construction are substitutes for origin
al materials, Brick was one of the
earliest employed. In these latter
years there are numerous substitutes
for this substitute. Men are constantly
in search Of material that can be han
died more readily and more economic
ally than that in common use. AL
though there are millions Of wooden
houses, however, and although there
will soon be millions of cement houses,
and although steel and terra Gotta have
largely supplanted stone and brick in
various forms Of heavy construction,
stone and brick will nevertheless sur
Vive. There are not rags enough in
the world to meet an infnitesimal frac-
ton Of the demand in these days for
paper; yet rag paper is still much
sought by those who look for quality
rather than quantity. Substitutions
have been as imperative and as numer-
Gus In other lines as in the paper-mak-
ing industry in order that the growing
demand of the world NIGH be supplied,
but the paper making industry affords,
perhaps, one of the best examples Of
dearth of basic materials and of the
corresponding increase in the discovery
and invention of substitutes.
When the rags fell short OF meeting
the demand-and the world was
searched for them-1aX, cotton and
other hbrous plants were called upon
to supply the deficit. But this meant
costly production, and the trade de-
handed something that would be more
plentiful and a great deal cheaper.
Then woodpulp was invented, n the
forests of America and other lands be-
ing, as tho thought w '~ineXhausti-
blc,' the paper makers felt that the flu
ture was secure. With the C"heapening
Of paper came a tremendous increase
in its use. Paper was Immediately
substituted for board in bOXmaking,
for lathing n plastering and flooring
in house building; it was requisitiOned
by the Cabinetmaker, the hatmaker, the
shoemaker and the toymaker; and in
the meantime the demand for news
papers and books multiplied so rapid
ly that whole forests were literally
mown down by the cylinder press.
Now the United States government,
through the department of agri-
culture, is searching for a Woodpulp
substitute. 1t has been discovered that
the forests are not inexhaustible.
This story might easily be duplicated
by that of oil, by that of rubber. over
the entire domain Of human activity
original materials are becoming scarce,
substitutes must be found. Still, we
know of no recorded instance of the
halting Of progress because of a failure
Of discovery or invention. Not always
the thing sought Is found, but, rather,
the thing needed. Those who are nov
searching for new paper fibers, for a
composition that will take the place Of
rubber, in common use as we'll as in
the laboratory, n for an explosive
fluid that will render gasoline unneces-
sary, very likely will find things they
were not looking for. but that will turn
out to be much more desirable than
the things they sought.

The judge asked how he came to be
dressed in a longtailed Goa that didn't
fit him, being too large, and the man
meekly responded:
Il have been assailed by the adver-
sary, and have met with defeat. The
man who showeth mercy, filleth his
soul with contentment."
The judge began to frown, not
knowing whether he was being guyed
or whether the carnations from he
man were from a contrite heart, and
he was about to show his displeasure
and growl, but he was interrupted be-
fore he began by Mr.. Snodgrass who
said:

Judge Miller adjusted his spectacles
firmly on his nose and then he said in
reply:

the man was led to the "bullpen."

long as We permit property on our

long will there be poor and unfortunate
persons to live in them and so long will
there be another class who will collect
from such unfortunates the largest pos

Congress has the power to protect the
health, morals, and welfare of the people
Of the District. 1t is its duty to do so
by such methods, however drastic. as
may be necessary to accomplish the de-
sired end just as quickly as possible.
The good health and morals of this
city should be placed above dollars and
cents and real estate values. Occupancy
of buildings in the alleys here injuriously
affects both and should be eliminated.
Those who maintain such conditions do
it purely for gain. The owners OF the
property are responsible and not the poor
alley inhabitants.
Those responsible for these conditions
should be made to remedy them without
expense to those in no wise responsible.

endums instead of making the locals con-
tinue under the burdens. The discussion
of the question was drawn out during
the entire day, and no definite action was
decided upon.
1t is expected that the constitution
committee will complete its report on the
revision Of the constitution and bylaws
either on Monday or Tuesday of next
week. Following the completion of the
revision of the constitution the various
other standing committees will submit
their annual reports to the convention
Most of these reports recommending a
number OF minor changes will be adopted
without discussion and the last two days
of the convention will be devoted to
the selection of the next convention city
and the election of officers.
Interest in the convention now centers
in the fight being waged by Cleveland,
Oakland. st. Louis, and Denver to gain
the next convention. The delegates are
keenly interested in every new develop
ment in the convention city fight. Sup
porters of each of the cities are quietly
working among the delegates lining them
up for their respective cities.
Each of the cities in the race is claim
ing the victory, and the fight promises to
last for at least two days before the
victor is determined.
Little interest is being manifested in
the election of officers, 1t being taken for
granted that all of the present officers
will be reelected.

MEASURE IS aimed

Senator Jones of Washington Intro

Abolishing Them.
PENALTY is PROVID E D

Senator Wesley L Jones of Washing
ton yesterday introduced in the Senate
a bill which, IL passed, would eliminate
alley slums after July /, 1915. The bill is
most comprehensive, and provides heavy
fines for both occupants and owners of
alley residences for each days occupa-
ton after the date set.
The bill, which, it is intended, shall
serve as a model for other cities, pro-
vides penalties of fine and imprison-
ment for its violation by persons who
erect dwelling houses in alleys or con-
vert other buildings on alleys into
dwelling houses; by persons who permit
the use of such buildings as dwelling
houses, and by persons who use such
buildings as dwelling houses.
Senator Jones made the following state
ment regarding his bill:
The bill which I have introduced in
brief makes II unlawful to use or occupy
or permit the use and occupation as a
residence or dwelling of any building on
the alleys of the District of Columbia,
and giving the owners until July !, 1915.

MEASURES TO CONTROL
BUSINESS OF LOBBYING
Kansas Senator Introduces Bill that
ContempIates Denying Former
Solons the Floor.
WORKERS SPLIT INTO CLASSES

The first important move in Congress
since the disclosures in the lobby inves-
tigation looking to limiting the activities
; of promoters of LEGISLATION was taken
in the Senate yesterday when Senator
Thompson of Kansas introduced bill
requiring a system of registration and
dividing lobbyists into two classes
Legislative attorneys and Legislative
agents"
He creates a joint commission of the
two Houses to prepare rules and regu-
lations 10 govern the business of lobby
ing, to maintain offices and have a clerk
and assistant clerk, and maintain a
docket for the registration of the lobby.
He puts no limitations on the activities
of private citizens in their own behalf.
Only persons employed by others are to
be required to register.
The bill also distinguishes between per-
sons employed in the interests of persons
Of private claims and those who serve
THE whole people of the United States"
Legislative attorneys are defined as per-
sons employed to appear before commit
tees of Congress and present briefs or
oral arguments or examine witnesses.
Legislative agents are lobbyists who may
employ other means. Except in the mat
ter of claims against the government,
lobbyists are denied the privilege of con-
IacIlnE on a OASIS or contingent ices.
The bill denies lobbyists the privilege
of the floors of either House of Congress
or the Cloakrooms or reception halls while
Congress is in session. This is aimed at
former Senators and Representatives. as
they are about the only persons who
would have the privilege of the floor.
Senator Kenyon of Iowa introduced q
bill against lobbying some weeks before
the President enlisted in the fight to I'M
cover the lobby in Washington. His bill
was based on the statutes of many States
and required registration, but excluded
former Senators and Representatives.
