We mpulse comes to one and all, esnear home. But in our calm dealing the question; we reach an>t have its way. If the present laws that are adequate. If they et us remedy the evil. But let us zation hangs upon the law. Tol is to pull down the whole struct-! ler is to be taken from the hanls >b violence for one crime, we will crimes. If mere suspicion is alan innocent man will be led to angry mob. It is not a question e is not one man in the State, if in, who would hesitate to defend omen of our "State. But it takes y to stand unflinchingly for law that faced by Sheriff White. The i very little defense indeed if our rho do not regard their oath. If ling, it will be a sad day for the ite.

Look upon your little yellow has expired, will you not send 1? Death of An Infant. The infant of Mr. V. T. Branks, of Buffalo, died Sunday afternoon and was buried the following day at that place. Rev. W. L. Gault conducted the burial. Wood row Wilson Is "On the Job" Mr. Editor: President Woodrow Wilson rendered a distinct public service when he made the statement that there was an insidious lobby in Washington. Some newspapers and some public men pretended to see in the President's statement a reflection on the Senate, as the tariff bill was then in the Senate. An investigation was ordered. It did not take long to locate several lobbies. It soon developed that the sugar producers had spent eight hundred thousand dollars in the last few years. What do you think of a gentleman getting a salary of ten thousand dollars a year with "an allowance" of one thousand dollars a month to "entertain?" The justification for lobbyists is that they the "experts" and are well informed and they are here to give Congress "information." If that is their business they should give the information openly and publicly and go back home. Eminent lawyers come here to argue cases before the Supreme Court of the United States; but they argue the cases in public and in the hearing of the other side. When the cases are argued they go home. They do not lie around Washington and "entertain" the judges. Experts who come here to inform Congress should do it openly and then go home. Business people who spend large sums of money to hire smooth, plausible fellows to remain here and entertain are either seeking favors they know they are not entitled to or they are - conscious inai iney already are enjoying privileges that ought to be taken away. The average man does not ask for special favors. The average man depends on his chosen representative to do what is right. How important it is that we who are elected as representatives should represent the masses loyally, faithfully, righteously. I am glad President Wilson has directed attention to lobbying. Joseph T. Johnson. Miss Adams Entertains.
