ANOTHER INSIDIOUS" LOBBY
(THE COMMONER.)

In 1913, soon after taking office,
President Wilson electrified the coun.
try and started stampede out OF
Washington, when he charged that the
capital was infested by an "insidious
lobby which he was determined to
smoke out. The hegira which follow
ed this presidential warning left Wash
ington hotel men to mourn the good
old times. There was never before
such hustling to get out OF the City
of Magnificent Distances.
But the "insidious lobby" of 1913
was negligible force in comparison
with the more insidious lobby which
now infests the capital The lobby
which challenged presidential atten-
ton in 1913 and which fed before the
scourge which the White House
brought into view was frankly selfish.
1t made few if any pretensions of
patriotism. 1t was not saving the
country. It was not buttressing our
shores against asthreatened invasion.
1t was not particularly anxious about
the flag. 1t was troubling itself little
with the Yellow Peril of the German
DOGGY. 1t was there merely to get all
that was 10 be had for the railroads,
for steel, for sugar, for glass, for ship
yards, for powder mills, for gun fac
tories, for lumber and for all the other
pets of privilege which republicanism
has been nurturing for so many years.
The word from the White House
gave this lobby a great shock and oc-
casioned unconcealed alarm in many
quarters, but It was highly effective.
The hotel business in Washington was
never so poor as it was in 1913 and
1914. But it must be improving now.
For there is another and an infinitely
more dangerous lobby infesting the
capital of the nation today. 1t is a
purely "patrlOtlc" lODDy, loDDy Wnlch
has wrapped the flag about it, lobby
profoundly concerned over the vel
fare of the nation and the prepetuity
of our sacred institutions. a lobby
which is in deadly fear of some inn
aginary foe, lobby that thinks in
terms of air ships, submarines, dread
naughts, 16-inch guns, tOrpedoes,
shells, a huge standing army and a
navy greater than a HObson ever
dared to propose.
Even the railroads when carrying
forward their successful campaign to
| force the government to permit an in
crease of freight rates, flooded the

; mails with such a deluge of literature
as that which the preparedness lobby
is today disseminating. Never before
in the history of the country has an
equal activity in any behalf witnessed.
Evidently this lobby is richly en-
: lowed 1t is magniicently organized.
1t is splendidly equipped. And it is
carrying forward its work with a thor
oughness and with an Indifference to
the cost which may well challenge the
curious interest Of the American peo-
pie who are being asked to approve of
vast expenditures on the national de-
lenses" the implication being that our
shores are menaced by some powerful
oppressor.
Schools, churches, political organi-
cations, the magazine and newspaper
press, chautauquas, the lyceum, every
thing which contributes to the mould
ing of public opinion, is being utilized
by this lobby as far as possible in
spreading the gospel of preparedness
and in dragooning popular senti-
ment into an acceptance Of the fantas'
tic notion that preparation for war is
a guaranty of peace.
The President might we'll turn his
attention to this lobby. The one driv-
en- by him from Washington two years
ago was praiseworthy by comparison.
There was little false pretense in that
"insidious" aggregation which haunt
ed the halls of congress and besieged
the departments of government in pur-
suit of favOrs. But the lobby of which
The Army and Navy league. the Ma
tiCnal Rifle association, the Aero Club
of America and scores of similar or
CARNATIONS are the expressions is Of
the very essence of false pretense. 1t
is greed masquerading in the vest
ments of patriotism. 1t is militarism
cloaked in the garb of peace. 1t is
selfish dlnDIlIOh poolhS 10 SIi'oi
ested public spirit. 1t is Imperialism
of the sordid sort whose democratic
habiliments do not conceal the iron
hand or the two-edged sword. That it
should indefinitely pursue its sinister
work unchallenged seems unthinkable.
The President and congress should
both call it to account and force
revelation of the secret springs Of ac-
ton and the secret sources of supply.

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.

Jackson, Miss, Nov. 24.-The SUI
preme court handed down number OF
opinions this morning, the first dis
senting opinion for some time coming
from Chief Justice Smith, who could
not agree with his colleagues in their
positions regarding the law in the
case of Joel Wilczinski against Lamar
Watson. trustee, involving the sale of
the trustee of certain property in
Greenville, Miss.
Justice Smith said that he did not
believe that the method to be pursued
in selling land under deeds of trust
is subject to regulation by contract,
for in his judgment section 2772 OF
the code, as amended by chapter $50
of the laws of 1908, prescribes the
exclusive method for so doing.
The other pustices held that the adj
vertisement of sale Of property I'M
der a trustees sale can be regulated
by contract. Justice Smith holds that
a sale of land under a deed of trust
will be valid even though advertised
for longer time than required by the
statute, but it does not at all follow
that the parties by contract can mako
an advertisement for such length of
time necessary"
The majority opinion among other
things says:
The statute was designed, among
other things, to give due publicity to
sale under deeds of trust by requiring
a reasonable notice of sale, the post
ing of one notice at the court house
door of the county where the land is
situated and publication in a news
paper of that county, wise provisions
calculated not only to give due notice
to the owner of the lanes but also to
prospective bidders.

SHRIMP PACK" IS
Is PER CENT SHORT
BILOXI FACTORIES SAY 1T is
SMALLER THIS SEASON
THAN FOR YEARS,

Biloxi, Miss, Nov. 23.-Notwith-
standing the fact that about a week
ago some good catches of shrimp were
made, it is estimated by persons in a
position to know that the shrimp
pack" this season will be about sew
enty-five per cent short
The shrimp season has now closed
and the packing plants are sending
schooners out after oysters. uG4sa y
Not in many years has there been
so small pack" for shrimp as is the
case at the present time, practically
all of the packing experts stating that
the pack" is about seventy-f1ye per
cent short of what it usually is.
This condition is due to the fact
that the shrimp fishermen went out
on a strike, being out for weeks, dur
ing which time no shrimp were caught.
Excellent weather prevailed at that
time, but when the fishermen did go
back to work. the weather was in such
condition that it was impossible for
them to catch shrimp.
This was followed by the hurricane
of September 20, which put scores of
boats out Of commission, delayed fish
ing, and, at the same time, bad wealth
er prevailed for weeks.
In consequence of this conspiracy
apparently of the weather and other
natural causes including labor troubles
the packing of shrimp has been great
ly retarded and it is safe to say that
not in years has there been so few
shrimp put up for the market as at
the present time.
