LOBBY LOLEYGAGS
.BANE OF BIG HOTELS

DETROIT. April T.-Lobbyists
clutter up the foyers Of Detroit ho-
tells.
A lobbyist Is. not a salesman, nor
Is he usually . business man.
He is one OF those itinerants who
have no place to 90, nothing to do
but kill time and look for possible
excitement to develop during early
hours OF the day.
Seldom is he seen in large num-
bers about the hotels during the
afternoon, for then he Is more often
at the movies or some other attrae-
tion that does not cost much money.
He Is the man who literally patron
ICES all free attractions.
There Early and Late.
In the evening he Is seen in large
numbers and stays around until late
at night or early in the morning. II
is not unusual to find him at some
place that is open all night waiting
until he can with propriety again
take his cushioned chair in the lobby
of his fsvorite hotel
Where these men come from and
where they go no one knows. how
they exist are problems. Yet In
many of the larger hotels one daily
sees the same men In the same chairs,
immersed in newspapers.
They are the bane Of the hotel
mans life and how TO deal with them
is a problem taken up at many hotel

Corporation affected by the strike, the
leaders in the movement that led to
the strike, and . number Of the men
on strike. And, to top its work, it has
visited the scene of the principal com
+, motion and taken general look
around. Thus qualified, it should be
able to make a report of interest and
fairness to all.
What the Senate will do with the
report is . question. There is not
time for q protracted discussion. For
one thing, the peace treaty blocks the
way, and, for another thing, as soon
as the treaty is out Of the way sew
eral reconstruction problems will press
for attention.
The hope, therefore, is that the
committees report will be of char
acter so satisfying that protracted
discussion will not be desirable or
necessary; that the Senate will copy
the committee in speed, and dispose
of the matter promptly.
We are hearing great deal about
strikes, and shall hear more. Although
so familiar, they are constantly devel-
oping new features, and, for that rea-
son. each one has menace all its
own.
The matter possesses an importance
today it has never possessed before.
Even brief interruption of produc-
ton in any field is deplorable and
dangerous. The country needs great
deal of everything now to insure COM
Portable living. All classes and con-
ditions of men are laboring under
more or less excitement and appre-
hension. Hence, a lockout, or a strike,
separating large numbers of laborers
from their jobs. might easily start a
train of disasters. and end in shaking
the country.
Our institutions today are not in
peril. They are still we'll socketed in
the hearts Of the people. and the peo-
pie will sustain them with force if
necessary. But controversies should
not be allowed to take a course and
reach a pass requiring a display Of
force. For every display of force in
the settlement of domestic disputes
leaves rankings in its wake; and
these in time produce new controver-
sizes. "Let US have peace For if we
cannot command peace among our
selves our recommendations of it to
others will carry little weight.

Gen. Pei shing and the Peace Army.

-
Chairman Kahn announces the early
appearance of Gen. Pershing before
the House military committee. His
views are desired on the subject of
the size of the Army and its proper
equipment for peace times. 1t is a
very interesting subject, and Gen.
Pershing's discussion Of it will COM
mand close attention in congressional
circles and out.
The old bogey of militarism is about
laid. For time-too long a time-it
was freely and effectively used. I'm
der its manifestation the Army was
reduced almost to the vanishing point,
and kept there for years. Indeed, we
had no Army, and were not permitted
to have one, largely for the reason
that industrious persons of shivery
disposition insisted on seeing, and de-
scribing, the Man on Horseback, and
the country converted into an armed
camp.
All the changes were rung on that
vision. Lively imaginations played
around and upon it. Those who took
the opposite view were described as
either bloody minded, or venally-
minded. If soldiers, they were FIG
uring on promotion and employment.
If civilians, they were. figuring on
business of some sort in connection
with Army supplies. There was a
GOOD deal of comment-some Of it
rather raspins-along those lines.

revive that sort Of thing today. We

Greetings.

Greetings.
It's easy enough to be formal;
It's easy to be polite;
For such are the methods normal
BY which we keep going right.
There are phrases we use when meet
ing
OF fine elaborate show
But there's nothing excels the greeting
OF simple, direct "Hello!"
Even the telephone lends it
A genial and breezy boost,
As some one, afar, extends it
Who hasn't been introduced.
And sometimes churl will grab it,
And it's time to be going slow,
Lest somehow you catch his habit
OF chilly and curt "Hello!"
But grouches can't conquer the feeling,
Earnest and all sincere,
That the good old word is revealing
When cherished friend draws near.
Free from all faint misgiving,
1t brings to your heart the glow
That reminds you that life's worth
living
As he says, "Old pal, hello!"

have recently passed through too much
to be easily influenced by mere
shadows. For . time at least, We are
DOGGY proof, so far as the Army is
concerned. We have seen it, under
pressure, expanded to proportions
never before known, and perform the
purposes of its expansion, without any
thing resembling militarism resulting.
The disbanded soldiers are returning
gladly to civil walks. The war over,
they are taking up with their former
pursuits. or laying new civil courses.
But it is clear to all that in the
matter Of the Army we cannot return
to the pre-war figures or conditions
Army figures now must be larger.
Army equipments now must be abreast
of the times. The war has taught all
nations great deal as respects a
military establishment; how to make
and keep it fit; how to use it when
fit and the emergency arises.
The question before Congress, then,
relates to how large the Army figures
should be; to how many men should
be kept in uniform and in training for
peace purposes, and as a foundation
to build upon in case war should come
again. And on this point the opinion
Of Gen. Pershing, who has just seen as
a trained soldier the latest phases of
war in a world manifestation should,
and undoubtedly will, have great in
fuence with those who at the regu-
Ia: session are to legislate on the sub
ject.
