'*-tA THE LEGISLATURE.

ft- Governor Ralston has expressed the conviction that the session of the leg'•Islature will be conspicuous for two ^things^'riteducied pxpenses and less of "jl-the olfctime lobbying. The. governor

Lindicates, however, that there js the ^gooia lobbyist' and the bad lobbyist, jvand1 we have-too much of the latter I'and top* little of the former. There is Jj a call for^he new kind of lobbying. The fcold-time lobbyist Is scorned, even if he

isnlt arrested, 'And the fault was his ,S-. own, of-tourse.-M:- But for legitimate lobbying there is •iVstili a demand. People want to know fpwhat is-going on in their legislature |'they -want to exert Influence for and "^Jagainst important measure' as they Jjarise. Manifestly, they cannot go personally to interview' their representa.tlves. They need ageiits, 'go-betw6eris, iwho have time to attend slessions, to -talk to1 members and urge the claims |jj|- "/of their constituents. And such an j. ,* 'agent becomes a lobbyist.

In one state the problem is to be 'V worked out this way. A considerable group of people Interested in public health measures have organized a federation, and propose to employ a sen:i ior in the state university to keep an Ji eye on the legislature. The senior— who thus becomes a lobbyist—will watch elvery measure that pertains to .le1,subject of public health, follow it y. before the committees and on the floor ij J^of house and senate and all the time

his employers informed of the progress of the discussion.

THE FRANK CASE.

Probably nothing stronger has been written on the Leo Frank case than E. £y. Debs' public appeal, which appeared in the Tribune Sunday. Mr. Debs' let[.iter, too, will likely have a far-reaching /. effect towards arousing public con'science in the matter. Conditions under which the trial of Frank, con4o die next month in Atlanta,

®a., was .conducted, together with the 'utter disregard of all precedents that has marked-the attitude of the supreme court of Georgia toward petitions tot a ne\V trial, offer potential Unreasons for protest against a flagrant s^abortioir of the common tenets of law nand justice.

Frank, it Would appear, was tried, -Vt., ij'convicted and .condemned at the beefiest of a mob which swarmed in the ^fipourt rooni, crowded the streets about fj -Uhe court house, iand overtly sought to J|v '-(intimidate the trial judge, defendant's jl »fcounsel, and the jurors. The mob ^howled for Frank's blood not because \of conclusive evidence of his TOilt— i.jhe was convicted on circumstantial IT tvldencfe of a flimsy nature and a de-

y^generate negro has since virtually con--3^S~ (eased to having perpetrated the crime s) f-but, first because Frank is a Jew ,i.8econd, because he employed girls at ft' ^ow wages and, third, because he is /i«, w^from the north. During the closing ^period of the trial military was em'ployed to overawe the mob, members ^2 'J which were permitted to disturb the ^'Ifiourt procedure. The trial judge ad-

T^inltted that in the event of Frank's acV^'«ulttal the mob doubtless would have "^Kung Frank and his legal counsel the ""jtldge failed to specify what might ^s&siiiave been the fate of the jurors.

The constitutional right to be pres^ent In court at the moment the verdict. whj.ch condemned Frank to die, was rend ere was denied him, which de^Tr^^iMirture from established usage should H-

the verdict but the Georgia, supreme court, with normal consideration for the dictate of mob rule, has declined to right this gross perversion of justice..

To fair-minded people convei-sant with the facts In the case the situation is revolting to the American sense of fair play and denotes that the semibarbarism manifested by typical southerners toward members of a subjective race is being extended to include as victims of sectional prejudice and of the mob law spirit, white as well as black men.

GREAT 8TUDENT GONE.

Terre Haute school children who fcrntye learned by heart the story of the glaciers will be touched by the story of John Muir, that great student of nature, from whose work nearly every school boy and girl of the present gen eration has profited. These school book essays will be John Mulr*s greatest iftonument.

The venerable naturalist was far more than a scientist and explorer. He was, in addition, a true man of letters. His works possess none of the dry-as-dust quality of scientific tabulation. They are full of Mull's own human personality. Such scientists are rare, and admirable.

Muir, like his friend John Burroughs, had no sympathy with the modern popular school of naturalists. He found nothing desirable in the love story of a wolf or the tragedy of a salmon. He studied nature from the human standpoint, not from the standpoint of nature's creatures.

The great Muir glacier will perpetuate John Muir*s name, even If his writings are forgotten. Muir is credited with having discovered this immense frozen river, which, during the summer, discharges into the sea 200,000,(100 cubic feet of broken ice each day.

Not only In Alaska, but In the polar regions, in Siberia, in the Himalayas and in other remote parts of the world iohn Muir has traveled as a keen observer. But his greatest work has been atnorig the Sierras, which he loved. As faunal and floral naturalist and as geologist he made these wonderful regions the fleld of his most serious endeavor. His death, at the age of 76, removes one of the greatest old men in America.

CLEAN ADVERTISING.

Commenting on the realization by merchants of the ill effects on their advertising in mediums which carry large ads for quacks and charlatans, W. H. Lamar, solicitor for the postoffice department, -in his .annual report says:'. "Newspaper^ that refuse "tlie ads of quacks and swindlers and otherwise clip the, wings of these birds of prey deserve praise."

During the year ending June 30 last forty-five fraudulent concerns were put out of business by the department. Many Of them were medical quacks whose operations were brought to the attention of the government by the exposures published by newspapers. "However much the public may appreciate the work done in excluding fraudulent concerns from the mails, and however much the advertising agents and publishers may realize the justice of it, the fact remains that these concerns do pay an enormous amount for advertising," Solicitor Lamar says. "In fact, that is by far their greatest expense. In one case the evidence showed that several hundred thousand dollars had been paid for advertising during a period of eighteen months, as high as $50,000 having been paid in a single month. "It will be readily seen, therefore, that the financial interests of some publications will be seriously affected by the loss of this class of advertising if the loss is not made up in another way, and it is not expected that hearty co-operation can be enlisted at once from all publishers. "It is a pleasure to state that there is a growing class of advertising managers and publishers who take the position that clean, honest advertising alone should be accepted that as a matter of good morals the publishers can permit no other kind of advertising and that as a matter of business it will pay the publishers to keep their advertisng columns clean and permit no deception to be practiced upon their readers."

Isn't it great to be neutral? Mines have sunk eight Swedish, five Norwegian, six Danish and three Dutch ships. Scandanavia should get a Nobel peace prize.

The British censor announced that he would not send any war news on Christmas. Let's see—did he send any on Thanksgiving?

They sang Christmas carols for Harry Thaw. "Which makes one rather thankful that one does not live in New Hampshire.

H0B0SC0PE FOE A DAY.

Tuesday, December 29, 1914.

Astrology reads this as rather an unimportant day. Mercury and Neptune are in benefic aspect and Venus is adverse.

The kindly sway of Neptune is saia to render active latent emotions

romance and mystery, and it is foretold that much study will be put upon psychic phenomena.

Mercury is in a place believed to presage unusual activity on the part of publishers, editors and writers. The dawn of a new etxjch in literature is foreshadowed, but poetry will not dominate.

Persons whose birthdate it is may have a troublesome year. They should watch their financial affairs and avoid Speculation. Illness may cause anxiety in the home circle.

Miss Lulu Roiberts, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. J. D. Roberts, and Earl Stewart were united in marriage.

The contract to supply the dry goods for the county was awarded to W. H. Alforecht and company by the county commissioners.
