Current Comments Written From
 Washington

The race is not to the swift, but to those that endure to the end. On the last day of June, it looked as though the President had been outdistanced in the con test for the control of the value of the dollar, but the race was by no means finished The Senate, by a vote of 43 to 39, has ap- proved the money legislation, substantially in the form that MT. Roosevelt desired. An opin- ion having been rendered by the Attorney General and by the le- gal end of the Teasury Depart ment, the Administration deter mined to press the matter to a vote, notwithstanding the fact that the White House power ov- CT the dollar lapsed, and remain ed for four days in the place that was supposed to be its tomb. Re publicans, and Democrats who are not in sympathy with what amounts virtually to a victory for the silver wing, hold that the courts will not sustain the Senate action, but at the same time ad- init that at present they do not know just how the question can be brought before the bench for decision.

The plans of the adninistra- tion in regard to neutrality await action at the will of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, that body having laid the mat ter on the shelf for the fourth time hand running. Senator Pitt man is quoted as saying that this particular piece of business will be disposed of before Congress packs it's trunks, and Majority Leader Barkley seems to be of the same mind, although he is not in a position to state just what might be expected as to details The House bill departs somewhat from the original draft. Ii will however, serve as a framework for discussion, and no doubt amendments will pro dNce considerable shuttling back and forth before things are re- duced to a condition in which the lawmakers will be in a posi- tion to vote yes or no

Pro and con, the third term argument goes on apace, without assistance or obstruction from the. quarter where the first and most important word must be spoken. Secretary Ickes remains an out and out third termer, Gen. Hugh s. Johnson replying to MT Ickes in characteristically pointed language. Senator Cuff fey is in favor of a third term, but for some reason his endorse ment did not produce enthusiasm in the group that 1t was intended to benefit. When the nomination was rendered to one of the Sher mans, either General William T. or John, his reply was: T will not run if nominated, or serve if elected" MT. Coolidge did not choose to run," statement which was an enigma to many though definite enough among those accustomed to New Eng land speech. Until MT. Roosevelt comes out with something ap- proXimating the bluntness of MT. Sherman, there is nothing for the non-combatant to do saving to get what fun he can out of the scrimmage that is being carried on by those who are violently fur" or violently "agin."
 A Senate committee has de- clined to take a hand, even in- directly in the Third Term con- troversy which has Washington thoroughly recited. A bill limit ing the Presidential tenure to six years, has been moved along without comment, for considera- tion by the Senate as a whole. A similar bill, making both Presi dent and Vice President inelig- ible for re-electon, but leaving it open for a Vice-President to be nominated for the Presidency, was disapproved in committee by a ten to two ballot

mountains to fall on them. No one
doubts but that canibalism would,
by this time, have been abroad in
this country had not God called
Franklin D. Roosevelt to stop it.
Mr.. Thorpe says, in his article,
there is no substitute for hard work.
Every one knows there are many sub
stitutes for hard work, faremrs could
and would have them if they could
get the money for their produce they
Justly should. Then we would not
have the sad sight, that prevails all
over this country, Of seeing wives
with their children in the fields and
factories helping their husbands pro-
duce wealth for such as Merle Thorpe,
c. R. Hoey and J. w. Bailey to live in
splendor on, while seeking to keep
such hellish conditions in our coun-
try.
Mr.. Thorpe also says, there is no
easy road to prosperity by political
magic That is promulgated for
the vile purpose of fooling the peo-
pie in order that they will continue
to vote for the same dirty hypo-
critical politicians that have SO sue
cessfully kept the producing class
from their just share of the fruits
of their labor. Most of the great
fortunes were made by acts of the
Congress. Here is just one little ex-
ample that l have space for; Under
the laws we now have we are in
formed that the bankers who lend
money to the Government can make
as much as 1888 on each dollar
each year. Nine dollars and fifty
three cents on each penny. That is
Just one Of the little pipes organized
wealth has to pour money into their
Golfers from the treasury of our
country. Yet Mr.. Thorpe wants to
tell the plain people fhis country
to keep on voting for the same old
crowd, for nothing can be gotten by
legislation, and the same old bunch
are doing fine. I grant they are for
the rich but not for those who pro-
duce the riches.
Read YOUR papers. but for tho cake
of your homes and country read them
with great care for big money is pay
ing such men as this Merle Thorne
huge sums to lead you farther into
the WilderneSt of woe.

that congressional sentiment is a.

I wouldn't wonder if the rumpus

VI CllSIH III PAST history.
The trouble with them is that they
invariably are ineffective.
Practically, it's impossible to de-
fine a lobbyist. If some group wants
a particular law passed it surely is
entitled to plug for it. Does that
make it a lobby?
If so, the Anti-Saloon League was
the strongest lobby ever known in
Washington. Is the United States
Chamber of Commerce lobby? Or
the National Manufacturers Asso-
citation? Or the A. F. of L.? Or the
c. l. O.? Or our utility interests? Or
our patriotic societies?
I've heard them all so described
because they want things, and ask
for them.
It's true, they hire secretaries and
publicity men. Does that make these
chaps professional lobbyists" as
Congressman SABBATH terms them?
Yet it would strain a point to call
the personnel of the D. A. r. lob
byists. That's a patriotic society.

terrible squawk to the effect that
Washington's social lobby is the most
powerful in the capital.
The theory is that legislators come
in here from the sticks and want
their families to be prominent-to
be invited to all kinds of fancy func-
tions, to figure conspicuously in the
diplomatic set, to be invited to meet
the visiting King and Queen Of Eng
land. And the supposition is that
congressional votes are influenced in
this fashion.
Can't Pin EN- Down.
It may be SO, but it's mighty diff
ficult to pin down case of such a
sort of lobbying.
Because Mrs. So-and-SO and her
debutante daughter have had bid
to a classy blowout on Massachu-
sets Avenue, does that prove that
Congressman So-and-sO has voted
accordingly on Capitol Hill
Investigation after investigation
has tried to demonstrate it, but it's
too vague to be convincing.
Once upon a time legislative lob
bying undoubtedly was conducted in
terms pretty much of money or its
equivalent Lobbyists and lawmak-
ers occasionally could be caught at
it.
Now it isn't so Grass.
Today a lobbyist is lobbyist only
if he bothers a lawmaler who doesn't
want to be bothered otherwise he's
boosting simply for a piece Of
meritor1Ous legislation.

OTHERS VIEWS
FROM MIR. WRIGHT
To The Editor:

To The Editor:
In the Dispatch of April 10Th
was an article headed, But, the tail
must go with the hide. 1t was taken
from Nations Business" and written
by Merle Thrope its editor Very few
people who read the article in the
Dispatch know this man Thrope, for
that reason l write this to tell some
thing Of his being in the papers.
By intellect and education Merle
Thorpe is we'll qualified to be what
he is; one of the best agents the
thieves of Wall street have. He writes
well and speaks we'll but always to
make the rich richer ana to keep the
poor workers content in dirt and
poverty. His doctrine is, if you are
not rich you should work for the rich
and be content to feed on the crumbs
that fall from their bountiful tables.
Thorpe, like Governor Hoey, Sen
ator Bailey and all the servants of
organized wealth seeks to carry us
back to the years before 1888. They
had had full charge of the govern
ment since the war of the sixties.
