by delegates and a nice contribution
for missions. Promptly at II o'clock
the sermon was preached by Rev. w.
L. Howse of Macon. His subject was
1.-THE Unfinished Work Of Christ, {"
which was nicely and correctly treated.
Bro. Howse knows just how to face a
congregation and preach Christ and
Him crucifed. The sermon was fine
and | trust did much good.
At 10 O'Clock we took recess for din
ner, when the boxes and baskets came
pling on and around the table. until
the long table that had been prepared
for the occasion was loaded with enough
good things to have fed three such
crowds as were present. This though
is characteristic with Calvary church
neighborhood. The good ladies seem
to know just how to prepare a good
dinner.
At 2 O'Clock the people were called
together by singing, after which were
led in prayer by Bro. Drake. The
moderator then took up the program
where we left off for dinner. when the

program the next subject. which was
as follows: "The Importance and Bene-
fits of Each Member of the Church

Der contributing to missions in order to

THE INSlDIOUS LOBBY.


When President Wilson first
called public attention to the I'm
sidious lobby" at work in Wash
ingtOn there was great attempt
in certain quarters to cast ridi-
cule on the idea. The existence
of such a thing was scoffed at,
poOh-poohed, treated jocularly
and referred to as the nightmare
of a school-master sleeping in a
strange bed. All this came from
sources supposed land with great
reason) to be peculiarly familiar
with Washingtonian conditions.
However. as the charge involved
the members of congress an in
vestigation was of need ordered
by the senate. At first little
came out, but one fact brought
out another until there is shown
a state of affairs that shocks the
nation.
Not only has a lobby been
shown to exist, but its methods
proven to be insidious if not
criminal. Between the people
and their interests there has been
interposed a class of special plead
ers pleading the cause of special
interests. Before congressional
committees the people at large
have no counsel; but big business
is represented /. trained and in
fluential men. And these very
men, in many instances, obtained
their training and their influence
while serving in congress in the
peoples pay.
The necessity of a lobby is ar
gued by some; the need of men
thoroughly familiar with certain
matters pending in congress in
which technical knowledge is re-
luired so that committees and
MEMBERS of congress may act
with full knowledge of facts and
conditions. But if manufactures
a'e to have hired employees to ar
rue their side of the case before
)mmittees, ought not the labor
RS and consumers to have their
nde represented? If the wool
growers must have a hearing are
lot the wool users entitled to one?
If lobbies are needed, then a
fourth estate is needed-a body
20 represent the people before the
peoples representatives, and pre-
sent their case before congress
md its committees. Congress
las or should have the means of
occurring full information on any
natter coming before it without ,
'oing to the hired experts and
professional lobbyists of corpora
ions. There is too greata a possi-
'ility of unfairness to the gener-
! public, the people at large, in
'ermitting lobbying either to ex- .
use or justify lobbies,

tends He illegally Arrested Fug- tive and Is Personally Liable.

Sherbrooke, Quebec, Sept. 2.-The Thaw lawyers show plainly the nerv- ousness and anxiety with which they look forward to today's proceedings in the superior court of St Francis county. The decision of Superior Judge Matthew Hutchinson on the right of John BOudreau, chief of po- lice of Coaticook, to demand the free dom of Harry K. Thaw, whom Bou- dreau arrested two weeks ago, will determine whether there shall be set In motion at once the machinery look. ing to Thaw's deportation and subse quent extradition from a border state or whether he shall be remanded to the Sherbrooke jail to remain until the session of the kings bench in Oc- tober.
 If Superior Judge Matthew Hutch inson sustains the writ of habeas corpus which was obtained for Bou- dreau by counsel acting for the state of New York, Thaw may be immedi- ately turned over to the immigration authorities for deportation. Against this contingency his lawyers have laid plans for a bitter fight.
 Boudreau in applying for the writ contends that Thaw is held illegally. not being charged with any crime. There is the added clause that Bou- dreau, conscious of the illegality of holding the prisoner, is apprehensive lest he be liable to damages.
