President Wilson, as we have already noted, said one among many other things that is seldom said and that reveals the danger to which popular causes are constantly exposed—that the people hav e no lobby and are voiceless in these great matters, while great bodies of astute men seek to create a false public opinion and overcome the interest* of the people for their own private profit There is one of the practical difficulties that attends every legislature of whatever kind. The railroads and other private interests are represented by expert lawyers who seek to confuse and sometimes to corrupt legislation, while there is no one to say a word for the populir cause except a free pres*. It does not touch the case to say that the legislators themselves are the representatives erf the people and should be their lobby in the true sense. They may be, but in being representatives of the people they represent also bodies of l people in artificial association such as railroads and all industry. And these must be fairly treated as well as the unorganized people at large. The objection is not here, but in the fact that I the organized interest* hav e special lobbies. personal representatives, smart lawyers who aeU their brain* and experience to overcome a wavering member, to persuade sometimts y miterial opportunities of personal j advancement, and »o becloud Judgment Thu* the special interests are doubly represented and that too on legislation that is for their benefit. These interests want undue advan tage. undue taxation of all the people for their special benefit and they have their expert lobbies to get this. But there is yet one resource whici. though hidden, is powerful. It is that intelligent citizens shall daily waten the course of events, shall learn from the press what is doing and shall

write personal letters to their representatives. This may appear small, but really it is very great, just as the rain drops, though small. If sufficient in ntftnber, make a tremendous downpour. So a sufficient number of intelligent citizen* doing their duty in this way, not once on one thing, but repeatedly on many things, can go far to offset and upset any lobby. Already the senate is beginning to feel the effect of the future choice of senators directly by the people, and the members are changing their attitude. So there is great encouragement that even the present most powerful lobby that Washington has ever seen may be driven back by President Wilson’s address to the country and by the continue! bombardment of senator* and representatives with leters from the people.—lndianapolis'News.

TAKEN TO FRIENDS Who Speak Own Tongue— Insanity of Young Pollock Thought TO BE INDUCED By Melancholy from Loneliness—Taken to Cumberland, Maryland. As th» camp of Erie workers at Magley will probably finish there thia week, the boss, "Patty” Durkins, was here yesterday afternoon to take steps toward further care of the young Pollock, who became demented and was brought here this week and placed temporarily in jail where he could be given medical treatment.

The young Pollock was the only one of hi* nationality in the camp of laborers and as he could not talk the tongue es the other laborers, and knew only a iritle English, it is thought that to condition was brought on by melancholy superinduced by his loneliness and isolation from all of his race and tongue. Mr. Durkins, bls boss, thought best to send him to Cumberland. Md.. where there are acquaintances of his, of his own nationality and tongue. He was accompanied there by Mr. Gross, brother of the timekeeper of the camp, they leaving yesterday, it 1* thought he will grow better there. —--■ v • " THE COURT HOUSE NEWS.

Judge Met--1 ryman opened court and adjourned at 1 once, in honor of the day, there being but one entry made on the docket. There will be no court tomorrow also, ;as Judge Merryman expects to go to .Huntington.

There is some question as to whether the county clerk is obliged to keep his office open every day except the Fourth of July. The old law book designating this, states that the office shall be open every day except the Fourth of July and Sundays. Advice of high officials says that at the time • the law was made the Fourth of July was the only legal holiday existing, hence the only one mentioned, and that all new legal holidays would be given by right to the clerk as well as others. William C. Baker qualified as administrator of the John P. Baker estate. H e gave $3,000 bond.
