Costly Education.

Two years ago American busi-
ness men voluntarily went to
Washington TO give the President
and Congress the benefit of their
knowledge and experience upon
matters which were the subject
of proposed legislation. Presi-
dent Wilson denounced them as
an 'insidious lobby" and drove
them from the capital. In his
message to Con gress a few days
ago the President indicated his
intention to call business men in
to conference upon important
government problems. Two
years ago he wanted to hang
scme Of them higher than Ha-
man." After putting the Amer
lean business man through an
experience little better than hang
ing, Mr., Wilson realizes thai af-
ter all, practical business knowl-
edge is of great value and that
even a college professor can learn
from business men. But what a
pity it is that Mr.. Wilson took
two years to find out his error !
What a pity that American in
dustry paid so dearly Tor Mr..
Wilson'S education!
