Lobbies and Lobbies.

When Senator Kenyon gets his antiobby bill
going, coming, he is apt to run into several
horRets' nests The time is past when lobbies were
maintained in Washington only to promote meas
in which some business industry had f.
nancal interest, to oppose those they believed
detrimental TO their interests.
Tariff bills, coal regulation, railroad legislation,
labor measures, and the like longer the only
matters that summon, maintain lobbies. Equally
or more powerful influences at work fof
measures aimed to the dear people from the
error of their ways.
The indianapolis News names four bills Of this
latter nature each which, it says, is "of course
backed by powerful lobby of enthusiasts, but not
representing the people" Lobbies never do repre-
sent the people, they only think, claim they do.
The bills named by the News those to Gre
ate a department of education, a department Of
health, department of child welfare and for phys
ical culture. Combined, they carry hundreds Of
millions of dollars in annual appropriations. They
provide for army of Federal and State employees.
They are supported by swarm of pro bono
publico advocates. The child welfare measure has
back OF it the League Of Women Voters and most
of the Federated Womens Clubs. The lobbes for
all these measures will be shocked if brought
under Senator Kenyon's BILL included in his
rather scathing indictment
The people of this country need regeneration.
They need human form OF salVation lhese are
to be provided for them. There arg homes which
may never see visiting and instructors in
home economics whose children do not have their
teeth, eyes, tonsils, lungs and other human para
phernalia now regularly examined by school pro-
fessonas.
The homes have not everywhere all been abb
sorbed by the schools, and there towns where
curfew bells do not ring. Such neglects must be
corrected and just now, when public funds are
reckoned in billions, is the time to provide few
hundreds of millions for this semidivine work.
The British have coined word to eX-
press the expansion of national expenditures at
this time Of a need OF retrenchment and of exces-
sive taxation. They call it "squandermania"

The Vice Presidency.

Thete is the old and familiar story of the wo-
man who induced her husband to buy her a pair
of handsome andirons. The indulgence in the end
cost him the refurnishing of the house thing
after the other, and then after the other
was brought up to the andirons standard.
If the United States, as has been proposed,
should build 100000 mansion in which to house
its Vice President, it would be another case of and
irons. With only his salary of $4,000 Vice
President would have to live in the basement and
would have trouble paying the coal bill to heat that
Or else, having built the residence, the United
States would have not only to furnish it, but to
supply the necessary servants, gardeners and at
tendants. 1t would have to supply the garage with
cars and make allowance for entertainments, as
with such a residence much more social demands
would be made upon the occupant.
Just as a matter of economy, would it not be
better to double the salary of the second gentleman
of the land, so that he and the second lady of the
land could have at least home in respectable
row of tenements, or even, perhaps, modest suite
of apartments in one of the finer apartment houses.
Having provided thus munihcently for the pos
sble successor the Presidency, the country could
wash its hands of him and leave him to the solitude
of the insignhcance of his office. But this much
it should do for him.
1t should not thrust him with his paucity of
salary, into a conspcuousneSs not contemplated
those are large words to apply to Vice President
by the Constitution. No one ever quite graced
the office as has Mr. Marshall, who has sense of
humor which harmonizes with it.
Mr.. Coolidge, more serious of mind, more New
England in temperament may not bring to it so
much of humor, but he will bring that rigid sense
of official obligation which will make him live
within the salary if reduced to 80 cents. No one
wishes to accentuate this devotion to ideals of
modesty.
Instead the office should be made financially
lacking in Stress as it is lacking in official demands
1t will be irksome enough to a of his active
nature and vigorous mentality, without its being
necessary for him to watch the cut sales.
