Every Lobby in Washington
May Have Its "Counter-Lobby''

Mead, and the American Sugar Cane
League Of Louisiana, which now Is to be
represented here regularly by Mr.. Clar-
ence Bourg. There is also the assocta-
ton Of Porto Rico Sugar Producers and
additionally the Associated Corn Prod
ucts Manufacturers, who have been
represented here by occasional spokes-
men. The last four groups mentioned.
along with the United States Beet Sugar
Association, are merged for certain pur-
poses into the Domestic Sugar Pro-
ducers' Association. which essays to
speak in broad and general way for
all producers raising sugar under the
American flag.
The producers raising sugar under the
American nag in the Philippines. how
ever, are quite OF by themselves in the
Philippine Sugar Association. which
spends its time resisting efforts to
restrict the importations Of Philippine
sugar into the continental United States
and which has been represented here by
Gen. Mcintyre. who used to be the head
Of our War Departments Bureau Of
Insular Affairs. Between the Philip
pine producers and the other American
nag producers there is large warfare.
Finally there Is the organization call
ca Tic A1IlGElCAH oOLLlcIS OI OhEOOkl&tSU
Beverages. represented by Mr.. Junior
Owens. Mr.. Owens resents the prospect
Of having to pay more for the sugar
which he puts into his pop" and he
vigorously maintains. with statistics,
that 1t Is quite impossible for him to
raise the price Of regular straightaway
pop" to more than 5 cents and that
consequently the proposed increase in
the sugar duty will be extremely onerous
upon him and his clients and colleagues.
The sober fact, then, Of the matter IS
that the sugar lobby is not one con-
certed effort, but violent competition
in efforts and in statistics; and the
same sober fact emerges out Of almost
any analysis of the nature of almost
eraIization is that no lobby" ever finds
it easy to control" Washington because
every lobby" is always finally con-
fronted with active "counter-lobbies."

This Is the testimony Of man who
had lived his life to the fun. The clos
ing years had been marked by stern
and tragic experiences. In the face Of
an ircurable malady which hindered
him at every step he had prosecuted
his task, saying, None Of these things
move me-" The inevitable end Of his
course meant martyrdom. AS Roman
citizen and an acknowledged scholar, he
had run counter to the public opinion
OF his day. He had espoused the cause
Of the despised NaZarene and with
flaming zeal was preaching His gospel.
that played about his life he dared to
maintain that Experience worketh
hope"
It is an outstanding statement. and
one that on first reflection seems highly
improbable. To most Of us the stern
experiences of life are disillusioning
disappointing and disheartening. We
readily survive the happy and profit
able experiences, but those that bring
sorrow and defeat we take with poor
grace. A philosophy Of life that reckons
to larger opportunities. thrilling us
with fresh hope of better things to
come, Is one that. while difficult to ap-
propTiate, u nevertheless indispensable
10 hold that life Is the sport Of
chance or the victim Of fortuitous cir
cumStAnces renders US cold and stoical
and compels US to believe that the race
Il ever to the swift and the battle to
the strong. Rightly considered, expert
ence ought to work In lis new hope and
freshened courage. As the poet puts it.:
I'VE grow by the things that are under
our feet.
BY what we have mastered of good or
ILL.,"
e. Physical strength may suffer i'm
pairment or depletion as the result Of
hard experience. but moral strength
by Il. Every advance that has been
made In science and other departments
Of human knowledge has been effected

made strong by adversely.
To-day we sailed westward" was the
inevitable record written daily by the

defeat is to be found In the Supreme
Master. He would go up to Jerusalem
knowing that a conspiracy to destroy

It seems that the most romantic Of
vacations sooner or later feels the
touch of modernity and comes full
circle, bereft Of the ancient methods
which seemed to give special
and different glamour. Such an industry
for several generations had been that
Of whaling.
Today the industry Is operated in ac-
cordance with very up~to-date methods
and a Norwegian engineer has Just
completed q device for killing whales
by electricity.
For many years the whaling industry
was largely in the bands Of Americans.
"Mobey Dick" the great classic piece OF
whaling literature by Herman Melville
was written concerning the whalers of
New England, although 1t has thrilled
whalerS and others around the world.
Next in rank doubtless should come

Dana, jr., a New Highlander who after
ward entered the diplomatic service of
the United States. ..-.
with the latest thing in harpoons either
flung with unerring aim by experts or
fired from guns similar to those now used
to throw lifelines in the United States
Coast Guard. the stanch men Of New
England sailed out Of Gloucester,
ProvincetoWn, Salem, Boston, Newport,
New Haven and other famous whaling
ports on their long voyages. It was
not 30 many years before q scarcity of
the great sea.mammalS developed in
the North Atlantic and the whalers
sailed around the Horn to find their
prey. Customarily, they remained at
Oil and bone. These voyages frequently
occupied three years and sometimes, II
luck were not good, five years.
Whale oil was used as an illuminant
before kerosene, or coal oil as it used
to be known, came into use. The oc-
casional ambergris found was valuable
as base for perfumes.
While q few whalers still sail out of
New England ports at long intervals,
bound in search Of whales, the industry
has fallen almost entirely into the
hands Of the Norwegians. Traditionally
great seamen. they took to the business
naturally and now several large Nor
weg1an companies, having millions of
dollars invested, control the hunting
and the trade. There are several big
plants in Norway and each year the
specially equipped ships sail south and
west, for whaling now is confined al
most entirely 70 the Pacific Ocean and
especially to the Antarctic.
New Australian Company.
The whaling grounds being relatively
close to Australia, the people Of that
continent have taken a hand, and Just
recently the Bureau Of Foreign and Do
mestic Commerce at Washington has
been advised Of big new concern Just
organised at Sydney. It has an au-
thori1ed capital Of $500. 900, Of which
81. 000, 900 has been offered for public
subscription.
It IL the company's plan to establish
Q whaling station at Norwegian Bay,
Point Cloates. on the northwest coast
Of Western Australia, o wild section of
the continent little explored by white
men and adjacent to the Australian

begun. Further plans call for the es-

"The Blows of Sound"

In the belief that needless loud noises
constitute o serious menace to health,
a group Of New York citizens have Or
ganized for the purpose Of combating
the evil, securing statutory enact
ments and administrative corrections to
lessen the din that constantly assails
the ears and raspS the nerves Of city
jewellers. They have made q specific
start against the radio loud.speaker
nuisance, sending petition to the
Board Of Health asking an addition to
the sanitary code to abate radio noise.
They suggest the following amendment
to the code: :.
No person owning, occupying or hav-
ing charge Of any building or premises
shall keep or allow thereon OF therein
any radio loud speaker or any mechanical
ment for the reproduction, the intensi.
fication or the ampliacation Of music,
the human voice or other sounds what
ever therein, which shall disturb the
quiet or repose Of any person therein
or In the vicinity, to the detriment
OF t(as life or health Of such person.
There can be no question Of the nui-
sance quality Of the loud speaker, es-
pecially in . larsV city or q well popu-
lated suburb. The noise from such On
instrument carries for q long distance
and in the warm weather, when win
sdows are open, there is no escaping it.
Tuned to higher pitch Of intensity
than is in the least needful for enjoy
ment by those In the immediate prem
Uses, 1t becomes positive terror to
others who perhaps have no taste for
the quality Of the entertainment" pro-

wish quiet to prevail.

A German "TraHic Protector"

A Berlin inventor has evolved q de.
vice to catch "hit and run" drivers OF
motor cars. It Il described IS ian auto
matte trafnc protector" The apparatus
Is adjustable under the chassis and at
the instant Of any impact automatically
raises white plate with winking red
light above the cars license tag, at the
same time registering the speed Of the
car at the moment Of collision. This
device is locked and the key is to be
kept by the police. II is reasoned that
any car that hits and runs Ii thus
marked for observation and irlvestisa-
ton.
This Is ingenious, but not necessarily
correctively helpful. Motor cars are con-
stantly getting all kinds Of bumps and
jolts and Jars in trAfic that are in no
wise due to reckiessness on the part Of
the driver. Frequently bumpers are
touched in the course Of parking ma
neuvers. It Is . question whether this
Berlin device would assuredly identity
an offending car Is distinguished from
q victim car. OF course. in the case Of
car hitting . pedestrian the bump
would probably tell the tale.
Imagine the plight Of . perfectly In
nocent driver who has accidentally con-
tacted his bumper With q pole in park
ing and fnds that the white disk has
flashed into view and the red light Is
blinking. He cannot stop this telltale
demonstration without going to police
headquarters or the trat1ac bureau and
getting his key and turning OF the
mechanism. Motor driving 10 compli-
