Exit-The Lobbying Bill.

(Rutland Herald.)

The killing of the bill TO regulate
lobbying marks the end of another at
tempt to mark with opprobrium citi-
Zens of the state who appear before
legislative committees in behalf OF
OF in opposition to some particular
measure.
The bill that was killed in the sen
ate Saturday was frankly directed at
paid attorneys Of certain interests,
gentlemen of character and integri-
~, who never address a committee
without stating In preface whom they
represent and for what purpose.
1t is true that such representations
have the force and authority of re
sponsibility and that nothing but a
certain humiliation would be placed on
such attorneys by the proposed law
but if lobbying is a crime, then certain
" such gentlemen are not the chief OF
criminals.
The lobbyist who exerts the most
powerful influence does not show
himself thus frankly and openly. He
is apt to be a former member OF the
Legislature, or an official of some
state institution, or even a colleg,
president or principal of a normal
school. He may not work directly
but his appeals are to local pride
tradition, prejudice, selfishness OF
whatnot, and the first visible result il
stiff-baeked knot of legislators who
see his measure through.
The Herald would not even say tina
this sort of lobbying is improper; il
fact, if it We're, practically every mem
Der of the "third house" would b,
guilty, newspaper men as well as 9th
ers.
The point is that it is not the pal,
attorney of the railroad. the waite
power company, the telephone or ex
press company, or of any recognize,
public service institution, who doe
the damage, if damage results, bu
the old-fashioned Jethro Bass gentle
man who works by indirecti0n.
Every visitor TO Montpelier Is
lobbyist and every resident thereo
has been one all his life, by environ
ment, natural instinct and force o
habit. The legislature cant regulat
them all, even if it were desirable.

Former Senator Root has had a
count made of the number of laws
passed by Congress and the State Leg
islatures in the five years ending
December 81, 1913, and they total six,

there were registered decisions Of

sixty-five thousand. How, asks Mr.

Ell. For a great occasion, such as this,
Man is always imperatively demand
ed. The German system almost pre-
cludes the possibility of the Man APP
pearance The Kaiser occupies his
place, and is not to be ousted from it.
And the Kaiser has shown himself no
more fitted to shine in arms than in
diplomacy. This is the most encourag-
ing feature of the whole situation for
the allies. They have real general
ship ON their side. They have at least
equal, and may soon have superior
assured of ultimate success. At the very
worst they can continue to hold their
own where they are, and compel the
Germans to keep the greater part of
| their available forces facing them in
the west, while deprivation, if not
starvation, and the ever increasing
Russian armies do their work on the
farther side of the Rhine.
There are also the possibilities, even
the strong probabilities, Of further ac-
cessories to the strength of the allies
from the ranks of neutral nations. The
Germans are not gaining in popularity
as the war advances, nor are their III
innate prospects such as to attract pru-
dent neutrals to their support. Ger

crosswise. Put two of these quarters
on opposite sides of sherbet ours,
sprinkle with a bit of preserved pine
apple, add ball of vanilla ice cream
and sprinkle with a pineapple strip
and few pecans. One may put up
their own pineapple and a quart can
will serve to garnish many dishes.
Banana Salad.-Put a banana sliced
in quarters in a salad dish, add a ia
blespoonful of lemon jelly, a table
spoonful of chopped heart OF celery
and spoonful of mayonnaise dressing.
Garnish with strips OF red peppers.
A delicious change for serving
poached eggs is this: Take a can of
tomato soup, when hot drop in the re-
CURED number of eggs to poach in the
soup; have ready some slices Of but
tered toGst, place the eggs on the
toast and pour over the soup and
serve. Garnish with toast points.
When cooking ham add a cupful of
cider after the ham has been Drowned
IN hot frying pan, then simmer for a
| few minutes. Spread with a table
! spoonful OF butter which has been
/ mixed with a tablespoonful of finely
| minced parsley. When cider is not OBJ
/ tainable. apple jelly with water is a
fair substitute. Serve with the sauce
poured around the meat.
Another method of cooking ham is
to brown it, then add a half cupfuI OF
rice, stir until it is brown and add milk
to cover the ham. Set on the stove to
simmer until the rice is tender.

port from the cotton mills, which are
working at so per cent of their capac-

in the report of the New Haven rail

the road will be able to earn four per

In a letter to the st. Adams Messenger
+. \. Dewitt of Newfane undertakes T.
stand up for Nermont's town representa-
tive system, saying that as long as this
state has two United States senators who
represent 100000 people as compared with
the same number in New York state with
its 12,000.000 people we should not make
much complaint about inequality. Just
what connection our representation IN the
United States senate has to do with the
system in vogue within the state is rather
difficult to determine. The fact is that the
states representation system is based on
landscape instead Of people and no amount
Of argument can Justify it as long as we
hold to a belief in popular government.

Like most wonderful inventions,
this new Kitchen Cabinet is SO
simple that you will wonder why
no one discovered it before.
Yet, makers have experimental
for ten years to produce it. Hoosier
triumphs again with the only kitchen
cabinet that has roll doors which
are sanitary and removable.
No Partitions f;,
Note the entire absence of cubby
holes or dirt breeding pockets. AS
on all Hoosier Cabinets the space
of the cupboard is free of partitions.
The doors slide in an ingeniously
contrived channel which is open and
easy to clean. A simple motion re-
moves the doors and a whisk broom
or cloth dusts out the channel COM
pletely. You will recognize all the
other features that make the
Hoosier Cabinet famous.
