Bobson Urges OutIowins
Rule by Pressure Groups

hes to check each other the
House of Representatives, elected
by popular vote; and the Senate,
elected by the state legislatures.
They moved Congress from New
York City to "a quiet and secluded
place on the Potomac" which they
named Washington.
REPUBLIC VS.. "MOBOCRACY"
The Founding Fathers idea was
to have us elect our Representa-
tives and our President in accord
ance with the principles outlined,
and then to let them alone. Every
two years there is an election and
we nave the privilege of throwing
out any representative whom we
do not like. While they are in
Washington, however, we are sup
posed to let them alone and oper-
ate representative Republic ra-
,ther than a mob-rule Democracy.
If space permitted, I should like
to show how this pressure group
racket has gradually increased.
Briefly, before the World War
it operated only on the Legis-
lative branch. Since then, it has
been applied to the Executive
branch. The Courts are still free
from intimidation by lobbyists;
but they will next be attacked.
Yet the founders of our country
planned that Congress and the
Executive should be as free from
attacks from pressure groups and
paid secretaries as are the Courts
OUTLAW PRESSURE GROUPS
Yet, the country needs conf
dence. Only by the restoration of
confidence will business return to
normal, unemployment and relief
be eliminated, and our various
government budgets be balanced.
The first confidence needed, how
ever, is in our Congress. Before
we can have confidence in any
thing else, we must have confid-
ence in our senators and repre-
sentatives. We must have conf
dence enough to forbid pressure
groups from harassing them.
In short, confidence will be re-
stored as pressure groups are out
lawed. Now, just one more thought
Please dc not write me letters
about free speech, etc. OF course,
believe in free speech. You
should always be free to write
your senators or representatives
any letter that you wish, or talk
to them in person when they are
home. BY pressure groups, I mean
paid lobbyists, paid lawyers, paid
propagandists, and other paid peo-
pie who are making a business out
of government relief and so-called
welfare.

BY ROGER BABSON

GLOUCESTER, Mass, Aug. a.
Our decade-old BUSINESS depres-
sion has, for the first time in 100
years, caused our standard of liv-
ing to decline. At least, that is
what Howard Coonley, President
of the National Association of
Manufacturers, said a few nights
ago. He insists that only through
restoration of confidence in the
American system can this country
resume progress. In general, ev-
eryone agrees with Mr.. Coonley.
Naturally, we all want confidence.
We all know that when We are
confident, things 90 along much
better-we work harder, more peo-
pie have jobs, and we spend money
more freely.
On the other hand, there is
what is meant by "confbdnce,"
Different groups of people, diff
ferent sections of the country, and
different political leaders have en-
tirely opposit~ views as to what
will restore confidence. Both How
ard Coonley and Norman Thomas
would state that the greatest need
of the world is confidence" Yet,
they would absolutely disagree as
to what will bring about that con-
fidence.
NO ONE AGREES ON
ANYTHING
Some people, for instance, want
while others feel that this would
bankrupt us. Some want stricter
labor legislation, while others ar
que for less. Some want more Fed
eral money spent for relief and
others insist that all relief expen-
ditures should come from local
community chests" Some want
prices fixed at cost while others
insist that only free markets for
commodities, labor, and enterprise
will bring about prosperity Some
hope to see government banks
which will give credit to everyone
while others think that the gov
ernment is already meddling too
much with our banking system.
Some want neutrality, while 9TH
ers believe that the United States
should come out now and say we
will sell England and France all
the munitions they want to buy
Some want higher tariffs to pro-
tect labor, while others say that
lower tariffs would mean greater
foreign trade and hence more jobs
Some believe higher income taxes
would result in more employment
Some want bigger army and navy
while others want this money spent
on schools, hospitals and librar-
les. Some are urging laws to pre-
vent married women from work.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

Lesson sermon topic is Mind.
 The golden text Is from I Peter 3:8. Be ye all of one kind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren. be pitiful. be courteous"
 Among the IA references from the Bible bearing on the subject. the following selection is from Philip plans. 2nd chapter, verses 1l3. 5: "If there be therefore any consola- tion in Christ, If any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the spirit, if any bowels and mercies, fulfil ye my joy. that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory 1; but in lovliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves .. Let mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus."
 The readings from the Christian Science textbook; Science and Health with key to the scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, include the following from page205 "When We realize that there is one mind, the divine law of loving our neighbor as ourselves is unfolded; whereas belief in many ruling minds hin- ders mans normal drift towards the one mind, one God. and leads human thought into opposite chan nels where selfishness reigns."

LOANS ARRANGED
 BY FARM BUREAU
Applications to Be Re- ceived Starting Feb. g
 in New Haven

Applications for emergency crop and feed loans for 1899 will be re- ceived at the Farm Bureau Office, Room 30l Post Office Building, New Haven on Thursday, February 23, from D. m. to 5 D. In., by John J. McDermott, Field Supervisor of the Emergency Crop and Feed Loan Section of the Farm Credit Admin istration.
 The loans will be made, as m the past, only to farmers whose cash requirements are small and who cannot obtain credit from any other source. The money loaned will be limited to the farmers immediate and actual cash needs for growing his 1889 crops or for the purchase of feed for livestock.
 Farmers who can obtain the funds they need from an individual, production credit association, bank, or other concern are not eligible for crop and feed loans from the Emergency Crop and Feed Loan Section of the Farm Credit Admin iStration. The loans will not be made to standard rehabilitation clients whose current needs are pro- vided for by the Farm Security Ad- mtnistration, formerly known as the Resettlement Administration.
 As in the past, farmers who op- tain emergency crop and feed loan will give as security first lien on the crop financed. or a first lien on the livestock to be fed If the moey borrowed is to be used to produce or purchase feed for livestock. Where loans are made to tenants the landlords, or others having an interest in the crops financed or the livestock to be fed, are required to waive their claim in favor of a lien to the Governor of the Farm Credit Administration until the loan is re- paid.
 Checks in payment of approved loans will be mailed from the Re- gional Emergency Crop and Feed Loan Office at Springfield, Massa- chusetts.

VISITING NURSES
 HERE KEPT BUSY
Much Sickness in Town; Two of IA Staff Meni-
 bers III Themselves

An unusually large number of calls on service of the Visiting Nurse association recently, due to a considerable amount of sickness in the city, finds the staff of the association functioning under heavy strain, 1t was remarked by officials, Two of the IA nurses are sick them selves, Miss Catherine McArdle and Miss Florence Walker, the latter suffering broken arm when she fell Thursday on Congress avenue while on a call. Miss McArdle Is i'll with groppe.
 While there is no epidemic cur- rent in the city, there are numerous cases of grippe and many persons hove colds due to extreme weather changes recently. The association, though handicapped by the emer- gency situation. is endeavoring to keep pace with the demand for services of its depleted staff.
