Lobbyists Terrify, Says Coolidge

Lobbyists, or organized minori-
ties" as they now are known, have
so terrorized members of Congress
and weakened the political parties
that the President must often bear
the entire weight of decision that
should be made by the regional rep
resentatives, Calvin Coolidge writes
in the current issue of the American
Magazine. Moreover, he adds, they
greatly increase the cost of legisla-
ton and, were it not for the presl-
Dental power of veto and the House
rules, they would double the cost OF
Government within two years.
Moreover, Coolidge contends that
it is the organized minorities that
have given Congress the reputation
of being an ineffective body, whereas
ordinarily it rectifies its own errors"
It is because in their hours of tim
idity that Congress becomes subser-
Went to the opportunities of the or
ganized minorities that the President
comes more and more to stand as
the champion of the rights of the
whole country" Coolidge. declares.
The former President points out
that Washington recognizes the for
nation of the minority organizations
as a well developed industry. They
are oftentimes led by persons of
great ability, he says, who display
much skill in bringing their infu-
ence to bear upon Congress. They
have ways of securing newspaper
publicity, deluging Senators and
Representatives with petitions and
overwhelming them with impreca- Z
ions that are often decisive in Sc
curing the passage of bills.
In the face of such pressure, Coo
idge says, members of Congress fail I
% take definite stands on important
many times party issues.
Thus party power has been weaken
ID in proportion to the decline in .
prestige of Congress. At the same
ime, Coolidge believes, the office of
President has gained in both power I

THE ADVERTISING DOLLAR

When a business man spends a
dollar in advertising any good line,
he gets several kinds of returns
from that dollar. This is not under
stood by some merchants, who feel
that the only return comes from the
sale of the article specifically adver-
tised.
When a customer is attracted by
one article advertised by some store,
he oftens buys stuff not mentioned
in the advertising, and which he
would never have seen had it not
been for the advertising. Also it is
constantly happening, that when a
customer buys one advertised article,
he forms a favorable impression of
that store and is led to visit it fire.
quently. The dollar spent in adver-
tising often brings hundreds of dol
lars through new trade started.

Is World Getting Mad at Us9

10 NOAAU UOo~hS 1HN-N -" 80
Students of international affairs in
Washington say that there are all
kinds of evidences that the world is
beginning to dislike the United
States, all because this country is
too prosperous. One great writer
dismisses the subject as an unimpor-
tant fact, and says that little can be
done about it, for Europe will not
fight us, and it's Nations still need
our money"
That kind of philosophy fits lots of
towns and its banking relations.

the national hower-have been def.
nitely cleared of the charge that they
are the sole cause of hay fever. DR.
N. B. Herman, of the Johns Hopkins
hay fever clinic has announced this
in connection with the statement
that for the first time the annoying
disease can be decisely checked by
immunization.
Hay fever can be contracted from
horse dandruff, pigs, dogs, cats, fea-
theirs and even furs, he declares in
an article in Farm and Fireside. Ger
tain kinds of meat also bring on the
malady, he adds. For long time il
was thought that hay fever was
caused only by pollen and that asth-
ma was in some way associated with
colds and bronchial infections. Now,
however, it has been definitely prov
ed that the two maladies are closely
related and that they may be
brought about by many other things.
In one of the early tests, the
case of a farm boy proved puzzling.
By the process of elimination, how
ever, it was finally discovered that
the pollen of corn tassels was his
botanical enemy. He was immunized
and his recovery was speedy. The
magazine relates another case in
which a woman's hay fever was ira
ced, after exhaustive research, to an
expensive fur coat She paid dearly
for her cure, however, for the ex-
pensive coat was found to be only
rabbit fur which is one of the sour
ces of the disease.
After isolating the cause of the
fever, scientists of the clinic insert
a small portion of the pollen, cat OF
dog hair, pig bristles or whatever
the offensing material may be, be-
meath the skin of the patient. If a
hive forms in ten or fifteen minutes
the test is positive and the proceed
ure is clear. The next step is to
immunize the patient with an ex-
tract of the material that causes the
fever. Usually one part to ten
thousand parts of water are used for
hay fever patients and one to one
thousand for asthma sufferers. I'm
munization from pollen lasts for a
year, while other treatments give
permanent cures.

REPEATING OUR MISTAKES

tinctive characteristic of such folks,
is that they keep repeating the same
mistake over and over again. Conse-
uuently they disgust the people they
work for, and those who work with
them laugh at their errors and make
life miserable for them. So they
can't hold down a job, and they grad
uaIly become dependents on society,
and often drift into crime.
1t might be added, that the really
feeble minded folks are not the only
ones who keep repeating their mis-
takes over and over again. People
who should know better, but whose
minds are not on their work, con-
stantly do that. They give only just
enough attention to the job they are
hired to perform, to barely get by.
But frequently they don't get by, and
they turn up in that large class of
workers who find jobs only with diff
ficulty.
We all have to make a certain
number of mistakes. Some people
do not make enough of them. They
are so anxious to avoid any possible
error, that they keep on doing things
over and over again in the same old |
way. In that fashion they avoid mis-
takes, but their work has no origi-
nality.
If they struck out on improved
methods, they would make more err
rors for time, but if they carefully
avoid making the same error twice,
then they discover useful new ideas.
The biggest inventors and system
atizers of industry, have made no end
of mistakes in learning their busi-
ness, but they learned from each
mistake, and went on to great
achievement.
Perceiving some mistake that one
has made ,and learning how to avoid
it next time, gives people pride in
their mastery of their task. They
are then entitled to go on to some
thing bigger, and learn how to pre-
vent and avoid the mistakes now
being made in that form of work.
So@
ONE OF THE IDEAS of former
Secretary of Agriculture Jardine,
was that more must be done to pro- !
vide the rural districts with good
schools, libraries, and hospitals. {
Here are three great needs of the {
country districts, and rural life will /
not be on a sound basis until every t
country town has good schools, Ii q
brary, and hospital within a reas- t
onable distance. III

HOOVER To RULE
ARMS EXPORT
BY ARTHUR HACHTEN

President Hoover is given dicta.
torial power to stop expectation of
munitions Of war in a resolution
which Representative Stephen G.
Porter R) of Pennsylvania. will
offer at the Forthcoming regular
session OF Congress. Yesterday
Porter said:
"Our country can make a great
contribution to the peace Of the
world by preventing shipment OF
arms and ammunition to cOun-
tries which threaten to 60 to war
or i'm cases where the receipt OF
American supplies would probably
lead to war"
Arms Export Unlawful
Whenever the President recog'
nizes the existence of war between
foreign nations by making proclama-
ton Of the neutrality of the Unlteu
States. It would be unlawful, except
bv consent of Congress, to export
anv arms or other implements Of
war.
Power also would be vested in the
President to stop shipments or war
supplies to nations in which domes-
tic violence has begun or Is threat
ened.
Authority already is vested IN the
Chief Executive to lay an embargo
on war supplies destined for Mexico
and Latin American countries
Porters purpose is to make THIS
power worldwide.
E'orter is chairman of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee. HIS COM
mittee has held hearings on a SINH

Opposition Voiced
Opposition was voiced by the mu-
nitions makers and there was some
opposition by others who commended
that the foreign orders keep Amer
lean plants operating and, there
fore, prepared to supply needs of
the United States in the event of
war.
Porter explained:

The lead in both leagues has shift
ed back and forth. The New York
Yankees and Philadelphia Athletics
are tied for first place in the Amer

Two dangerous looking ball clubs

Pony Express Pitted
Against Speed Cars

From the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
When Nebraska celebrates the seven
ty-fifth anniversary of its founding as
a Territory next Fall. one of the most
interesting studies in transportation of
recent years will be presented. All the
current mechanical modes of locomo-
ton will be pitted against the pony ex-
press in a handicap of 400 miles. Air
planes, automobiles and railroad trains
will be tested in competition with the
sturdy little mustangs that in former
era kept the old frontier in touch with
civilization. The sons and daughters
of Aksarben, as they love to reverse the
State name will be inclined to back the
ponies against the machines.
More than mere sentiment is behind
the respect which the people of the
present West have for the four-footed
express in such a race. The handi-
Gaping, naturally, will not favor the
machines, but that does not cover the
reason for the preference. Each pony
will run only 10 miles. The relay
changes will be made in an eye-wink.
The riders will be keyed and trained.
The country is comparatively level; the
course follows the Platte river, from
Julesburg, just over the line in Colo
RADIO, to Omaha. The ponies will make
an average of 80 miles per hour. The
automobile that makes the trip with
total time averaging 40 miles is rare.
The regular railroad schedule is around
35 miles per hour. Special handicaps
will have to be made for the airplanes.
This will be q transportation review
worth while. It is long since the pony
express ran a regular. cross-country
race If the other features of the cele-
bration are devised as skillfully as the
handicap, there will be good reason to
believe that Aksarben win be popular
destination for tourists IN the Fall 8.
