somely If any remembers where the money
from that pays for their entertainments no
is impoe enough to talk about it.
In novels of Washington life you often read
about women lobbyists. 1t may be that women
have invaded the field just they have every
other that used to be thought the exclusive prov
ince of man. but certainly in my day no women
made a regular profession of lobbying. In all my
experience. and it has been long and varied one
| have known only woman who took hand IN
the legislative game. and but for luck she would
have cost large fee. And there is another thing
that convnces me how little the men who write
novels really know. ] have often been amused by
reading of men women lobbying because of senti-
ment or of the romance involved in bill. but here
again only have ! known romance To cut any
figure with lobbyist and curously enough IT was
in this one case where ! found myself opposed by
"a woman lobbyist The fact is. lobbying a. it was
carried in my day was straight business from
start to finish. You paid for what you got. and a
woman was always at a disadvantage. have paid
thousands of dollars to men who worked for me. or
whose votes ] needed, but except in this one
ease did ever offer to split fee with woman
THE first job ! took on my own account after
Whites death was to the passage of a
bill to allow a company to build bridge across one
of our great rivers. Many years before bridge
had been built. and il had become one of the most
profitable monopolies in the United States. a IT
was the sole highway between East and West and
every passenger. every railroad ear. every pound OF
merchandise. every letter. even. had to pay ITS
tribute to the owners of the bridge close corpo-
ration whose dividends We're enormous Finally the
railroads, hacked by boards of trade, chambers OF
commerce and the newspapers. determined there
must be another bridge to break the monopoly.
! said in a previous article that however much
the reader might despise lobbyist it would be
impossible for them to exist were there not mem
beers of Congress with whom the lobbyist could dc
business, and this bridge bill is case in point
Our proposition was honest and straightforward
All we wanted permission to build the bridge
with our own money. We did not ask dollar from
Congress or help of any kind. We were to do the
people a service at our own expense and risk, and
if made money surely no one could object.
Why, then, the reader may naturally ask. was
there any necessity for lobbyist! Simply be
