HEARD AT THE
NATIONAL CAPITAL

respondence.] "In the first year of
his administration, President Wilson
made a great hulabaloo about the
"lobby." He stated al that time that
he would drive every lobbyist out Of
Washington and would have nobody
interfering with legislation in this
country and that he wanted to have a
free hand" said prominent United
States Senator. During this present
session of Congress we have witnessed
on various occasions more lobbying by
cabinet officers and men close to the
President, than in any administration
in the history of the government.
There has never been a time when
there was SO much attempted execu-
tive interference with the legislative
functions of the government. We have
witnessed an administration lobby here
this session that is both invidious and
insidious."
Col. Harry S. New, of Indianapolis,
Republican candidate for United States
Senator in Indiana, at the coming elec-
tion, was recent visitor at the Capitol,
where he was warmly received. Not
only is Col New optimistic over the
general outlook for the Republican
party all over the country, but he is
certain that his own state of Indiana
will return to the Republican party and
elect both the state and national tickets.
Speaking of the situation he said: 81
am confident the Republican party will
win in November The people of this
country are doing some thinking. They
know that the present prosperity is
unnatural and has been brought about
by conditions absolutely growing out Of
the war. In Indiana we will have a
Republican majority this fall. We
shall elect two Republican United
States Senators, more than half of the
members of the House and a Republi-
can Governor The electoral vote will
also 90 to our party"
These are anxious days for the Mis-
souri, delegation in Congress and the
situation in that state politically is be-
ing discussed with great seriousness
and apprehension in the Democratic
cloak rooms. There are several Demo-
cratic Members of the House from that
state who are already scared out Of
their boots" over the outlook. The
news they are getting from back home
has not been reassuring and they are
confidentially expressing great anxiety
over the possibility Of their reelection.
Several of them are saying that they
fear not only their districts, but that
the state itself is going Republican.
The pairing of Vice President Mar
shall with Senator Reed of Missouri,
on the last senate vote on the motion
to reconsider the rejection of George
Rublee of New Hampshire, as a Men,
ber of the Federal Trade Commission,
is causing much comment and criticism.
Many of the older members of both the
House and Senate, state that it is
most dangerous precedent and that If
the vote of the vice-president had been
deciding one, that great and sweep
ing legal questions would have arisen
as to the right to do this. Men long in
Congress state that the vice-president
is not member of the Senate and that
his only right to vote is that prescribed
by the constitution, which is in case of
tie.
The recent election in the second

If President Wilson has been labor
ing under the delusion that Bryan is
his political friend, he will be unde-
ceiyed when he reads in the Commoner
the article over Bryan's signature
calling attention to the fact that in the
Nebraska primaries 9,417 Democrats
voted for a liveryman for delegate to
the National Convention, knowing that
the man was a pronounced opponent
of Wilson. The vote polled by this op-
ponent of Wilson was about Is per cent
of the Wilson vote. In Nebraska, in
1912, Wilson polled 10000 votes,
against l26, 900 for Taft and Roosevelt.
With reunited Republican party and
an indicated detection Of Is per cent in
the Democratic party, what hope is
there for Wilson to carry Nebraska this
year2

There were two members of the New
Jersey delegation who desired the
honor of placing the name of Woodrow
Wilson before the st. Louis convention
and the President was forced to choose
between them. II does not seem to
have occurred to him to compromise
the matter by selecting the man from
Nebraska who three times polled more
votes for President than did Wilson
himself.

ALONG THE FIRING LINE

w. j. Bryan may gain a reputation
for humor, but he is likely to lose
reputation for candor, if he continues
to deal with export statistics. In the
last issue of his Commoner, in column
headed "Funny Things" he gives
several items of exports and says that
"most of the increases were in exports
to countries not at war and to markets
once controlled by the present bellig-
erents." If this was intended to con-
vey the impression that our unprece-
dented increase in export trade is not
due TO the war, it is far wide OF the
truth, and every man and woman In
the United States knows it. The
farmers of Nebraska know who has
been buying their wheat, their horses
and their cattle. The woolen mills of
the East know who ordered the hun
dreds of thousands of yards of kahki
cloth for soldiers uniforms. The men
who work in powder and shell factories
are not deceived as to the destination
of their product. Even members of
the present administration have warn
ed American business men that they
cannot hope for a continuance of this
abnormal market after the war has
closed. But Mr.. Bryan must not think
that putting the figures in the column
of Funny Things, excuses his pal
pable Misrepresentation

Des Moines, Nov. 24.-At the quar-

GERS of state institutions. to be held
in the board of control rooms at the
state house Dec. and s, there will be
discussion of state phychopathic
hospital where patients suffering from
mental troubles due to an extreme
nervous condition may be studied and
treated. DR.. Albert NJ. Barrett, director
al the state phychopathic hospital, in
connection with the University Of
Michigan. at Ann Arbor, viii make an
address on the need for and the
methods employed in such institutions
and will also tell OF the hospital at
Ann Arbor.
The members of the state board of
control are firmly convinced that Iowa
needs such a hospital. Early this fall
members visited several such inst!tu-
tons in other states and came back
more in favor of psychopathic hos
p:tal for Iowa than ever.
1t is to these hospitals that patients
are, taken whose minds have become
oyerWrought thru some nervous dis
OF der. There are hundreds of people
IN every state, it is claimed. who suffer
a mental breakdown along with
nervous disorder. To put these people
in an asylum for the insane only
makes them worse because of their
extreme sensitiveness 10 their sur
roundings. Whereas if they can be
treated in an institution where experts
in nervous disorders can observe tand
guide them and help them back to
normal conditions and where the pa
tents will be spared the humiliation OF
being placed in an insane asylum, they
can be cured. Many states are now
establishing such institutions.
