! individual members of Congress or
| on executive officials, pressing the
case for their clients. assembling facts
| arguing legal points. A few large
| corporations have permanent private
| lobbyists. More often as time goes on
private lobbying gives way to group
| representation Of an industry and be-
comes semi-public lobbying.
Little Secrecy About Lobbying.
There is much less secrecy about
| lobbying than the public outside OF
| Washington has been led. by political
speeches. to believe. Lobbyists &c
about their business like any one else
| and 1t is not difficult to know what
| they want. They naturally think wha,
| they want is right, and are prepared
| with facts and arguments to de
fend 1t.
| A great many lobbyists are former
members Of Congress or former Off
cials Of the Government. Most lobby
lists are lawyers. Some are former
newspaper correspondents. Their com
pensation Is most varied. Some OF the
reform lobbyists receive no pay at all
but work for the good Of the cause
| they represent. Others are poorly or
well paid, and there was a general
l
Gently divided with a few assistants q
million dollar fee for getting a re.
| troactive relief clause into a revenue
bill, thereby saving many millions
for his clients. This may have
| been a gross exaggeration, as, OF
course. no one knows what lobbyists
are paid, except the public organiza-
ton representatives.
| Lobbying increases steadily in Wash
| ington. Almost every lobby has a
counter lobby. The Anti-Saloon League
has it's opposition in the Association
Opposed to the Prohibition Amend
ment. The manufacturing interests
| have high tariff lobbies. and the i'm
porters have low tariff lobbies. Labor
and capital are represented. The LIE
gion fought for a soldiers bonus, and
the Anti-Bonus League against 1t.
AS lobbying Increases, members OF
Congress are often annoyed by the
many callers who visit them, and by
| the demands from home folks which
| are prompted by the lobbyists who
| send out word, ''Write or wire to
your rCongressman." On the other hand.
many people in of{icial life agree with
Mr.. Culbertson that lobbyists bring
| to Washington much useful informa'
ton. and that the people they repre-
sent have q perfect right to present
their case and be heard.
Whether lobbying is good or bad is
matter Of opinion, and that opinion
is usually based on whether you agree
with a particular lobby or not. If you
agree, it Is q proper and necessary
way Of protecting the rights Of the
people by getting a fair hearing for
| the true facts. If you disagree, it is
a low. underhand scheme Of the spe
| cial interests to control the Govern
ment. It is the voice of the people OF
the clamoring of organized minori
! ties" according to how you feel about
it.
But IL lobbies fool those in ofiicial
life, it is because they are not ade
quately informed and would probably
be fooled anyhow. If they corrupt
anybody, It is probably somebody
looking to be corrupted. If they an
noy congressman. the latter can al
ways vote themselves another Office
boy to keep the door closed.

Spelling.

Spelling bees are being held in
Washington. School children are lin.
ing up as IN the days Of old and try.
ing out their memories. They are
learning through. failure, as boy. after

under the barrage Of words-that is
to say, 1t is to be hoped that they are
learning. For spelling is not as highly
developed among the young people as
once It was. Orthography is not pre-
cisely lost art, but it is losing its
way. There is much room for ad-
vance in this fiNld.
Now and then grown-ups adopt the
spelling bee as a form Of social diver.

embarrassed b. their public revela.

A Worthy School in Need.

The other day a fire occurred at the
National Training School for Women
and Girls at Lincoln Heights, in this
District. and practically destroyed the
main building Of that institution. Dam.
are to the amount Of about 100000
was caused and on this property there
was an insurance Of only $4,000. An
appeal has been made to the public
Of Washington for funds to permit the
early construction Of the burned build
ing to enable this school to continue
its good work. This appeal is issued
in the name of Miss Mamie Fl. Bur-
| roughs, president Of the school. who
has for many years devoted herself to
this worthy work. 49,. ...'
Miss Burroughs service to the peo.
pie Of her race has been OF the great.
est value. She has given herself un-
stintedly and effectively to their edu.
cation along lines Of practical useful.
ness. She has helped many women
and girls through this institution to
self-sustaining service. Now In this
hour Of need It is 20 be hoped that
the people Of Washington win give
literally to make good the loss caused
by distressing accident and put this
institution back into its former con-
dition. perhaps even to extend it's use
fulness with a larger and more effec.
tive plant.
This appeal should be needed by not
simply the colored residents Of Wash
ington, but by all others who know
Of the value Of this institution. 1t
has been established and maintained
with difficulty. It is a work Of devo.
ton to an ideal Of service and now an
opportunity comes to washingtonians
to show appreciation Of it by prac-
tical means In meeting the present
deficit and restoring the establishment
to its former condition permitting the
good work to continue.

The Old River Forts.

Opposition to the proposal to sell
Forts washington and Hunt. below
this city, has developed and Is grow
ing as the subject is more fully under
stood. 1t is now indicated that this
opposition win be sufiicient to prevent
the inclusion in any general measure
authorizing the sale Of now unneces'
sary military reservations Of these
particular sites.
Should Forts Washington and Hunt
be sold by the Government not only
would landmarks Of historic interest
be destroyed. but opportunities would
be lost to establish public parks and
recreation spaces on the banks Of the
river much to be cherished and appre-
ciated by the people Of tho Capital
and the adjoining States. At Fort
Washington particularly is there a
chance for a valuable. practical use
Of the space which It has been pro.
posed to sell. The old masonry fort
there is, Of course. Of no military val.
ue whatever. Although at one time 1t
was regarded as an important item
for the defense Of Washington, It is
now no moro than a memorial OF an
obsolete military method. Yet It is
unthinkable to destroy it. If this
land weru sold those old walls would
be razed. the ramparts would be
leveled. The gun embrazures would
disappear and q significant ana in
teresting feature Of the Potomac land
scape would be lost forever.
Many uses have been proposed for
these tracts. It has been suggested,
for example. that they could be util-
lied as Summer camping homes for
children and mothers from the city.
Tho area could be used for Boy Scout
outings and Girl Scout exercises as
well. II could be used in manifold
ways for the public recreation. But
to whatever use it might be put it
should not be sold now for private
development. ..
The Government is not in such
need Of money that it should sell these
relics merely to clear the records OF
the War Department. The care Of
these areas would cost little. It would
perhaps readily be provided by the
two States within which they lie.
Members OF Congress Of those States
are now greatly concerned lest
through q routine disposal Of need.
less military property these spaces be
merged with the real estate assets. to
become farms or subdivisions and in
the course Of a short time wholly
lost to history and the public use.

Foreign-Born Americans.

IT would be wholesome thing II all
professional 100 per cent" Americans
could be persuaded to read the address
which President Coolidge delivered
yesterday at the unveiling Of the Erics'
son statue. Bigotry and narrow
mindedness nearly always are the prog
eny Of ignorance. and Mr.. Coolidge's
address was an ignorance-dispelling
exposition Of the contributions to
American well-being which have been
made by citizens born under other
flags.
None Of those who come here" the
President said. "are required to leave
any good qualities behind. but they
are rather required to strengthen and
fortify them and supplement them
with such additional good qualities as
they find among U.S." The President
did not deny, Of course, that there
have come to our shores many unde.
sirable immigrants. but the point he
made was that citizen was neither
less desirable nor less valuable by rea-
son Of the fact that he was not native
born. Describing John Ericsson as a
truly great American, the President
said that great men are the product
Of a great people. They are the result
Of many generations Of effort, toll and
discipline" America has been enriched
by the immigrants II has received from
the great peoples which have a back.
ground of effort. toll and discipline. 1t
has suffered only from immigration
which has been tndiscriminate instead
Of selective. The melting pot" ceased
10 be fusing crucible only when too
large a proportion Of refractory mate
rials was poured into It.
The name of John Ericsson is only
ono in a long list Of citizens by adop-
ton which are iliustrious in the an
nails Of America. Sweden is only one
Of a number Of nations which have
sent their sons to help make America
great. All bigotry which would place
only 100 per cent Americans on guard"
is rebuked in the closing words Of the
Presidents Ericsson address. "As the
ceaseless throng Of our citizens Of va
lious races shall come and CO." he
said, "as they enter and leave our Cap
ital City in the years to come, as they
look upon their monuments and upon
his and recall that though they and
he differed in blood and race they
were yet bound together by the tie
that surpasses race and blood in the
communion Of common spirit, and
az they pause and contemplate that
communion. may they not fail to say
in their hearts. OF such is the great.

Doris Kenyon and Lloyd Hughes.
For the first time he saw himself
as a comedian and listened with in
terest TO the laughs which the audi

role. Always he had been accus-
toned to Kisses. for his roles have
been almost exclusively villainous.
The change was welcome one.
