Washington.—Ninety per cent, of the 300 to 400 organizations which he alleged exist in Washington to lobby for and against legis lation are “fakes,” Senator Caraway of Arkansas told the Senate, in favorably reporting from the Senate judiciary committee his bill to compel lobbyists to register with the secretary or the Senate and the clerk of the House'. The representatives of some organizations actually aided members of congress with information, the senator declared, but, on the other hand, there were some who “prey upon the credulity of those who have an interest in what congress shall do.” Describing some of the organizations here, he mentioned the “American Pedestrian Protective association,” and asked: “Is that a school to teach people to dodge Ford cars, or outrun Buicks?” Of the money collected by many associations he declared $99 out of •ach $100 usually went into the promoter s pocket. "One bright fellow,” he said, “collected $60,000 from business men, and spent $58,000 in ‘expenses.’ Of course he spent it by taking it from their pockets and putting it in his own.” Denouncing the efforts of former members of congress to influence legislation, he said that any number of them “who were unable to take an interest in legislation when they were serving have become per niciously active in the interest of legislation later.” Senator Caraway intends to bring the bill up for consideration as soon as possible. ^ The committee report, sucmittea, wnue conceamg men nuu vomen of high character” give "valuable information and are frequently helpful in dealing with public questions,” declared that "there are a large number of people who pretend to represent ‘associations’ who tre lobbyists pure and simple and in the most offensive sense of that erm.” Stating that betw’een 300 and 400 "alleged associations” were listed i the Washington telephone directory, the report continues: "The larger number of these—90 per cent.—are fake associations lrganized for the sole purpose of profit. “Ninety nine dollars but of every hundred that the public pays to hese alleged associations go into the pockets of the promoters of these ake associations. It might be safely said outside of a dozen there is :iot a penny paid to these associations that is not worse than wasted.” The associations, the report asserted, “include fake argicultural as ociations, fake scientific associations, fake religious associations, fake emperance associations, fake associations in opposition to prohibition.” “Nearly every activity of the human mind has been capitalized by ome grafter with ’headquarters’ established for this activity in Wash ngton,” the report went on. •Their only activity is to extract money from credulous people and mt it into their own pockets. “The fake associations so far outnumber those which are actually engaged in a legitimate effort to impart information that attention should be called to the situation.” "If these people may be compelled to put their names on record it will then purify the atmosphere their presence pollutes. “It is also hoped that a few men who have been honored by their listrict or state with a tenure of office and who have lingered here and ,‘attened off the hope entertained by some misguided people that by reason of the fact of their acquaintance they may be able to influence legislation, will likewise find their occupation destroyed.” An Untaught Artist. From the Kansas City Star. Three of the most impressive ..atues in Washington, Jackson on lorseback. Washington at Princeton ind the figure of Freedom mounting he dome of the capitol, were the vork of Clark Mills, a shy, untutored sculptor whose only lessons were hose he gave himself.

A vast crowd had gathered. Stephen Douglas, master of cere monies, called upon Mills to speak. The young man, who never had spo ken in public, could only point In silence at the veiled statue. His ges ture was mistaken for a signal, and the veil was withdrawn, revealing the iron horse and rider for the first time. There was silence, then spontaneous, prolonged applause that eloquently presaged the fame and fortune at tending the artist’s later efforts. 'rhe Oldest Uving Thing From the Detroit News. The oldest living thing in the world today is a tree, perhaps one of the gi ant Sequoias of the Pacific coast, but Just as likely an East African Baobab or some one of the giant cypresses of Mexico. The age of trees can be determined definitely by sawing the trunk and counting the annual growth rings. The great age of some Sequoias al leady cut and counted, indicates that certain of the mammoth trees In the Calaveras Grove In northern Cali fornia are not less than 5.000 vears Ahead of the Game.

But some of the Baobabs ap parently are of about the same age end the famous cypress near Oaxaca, Mexico, is said to have lived 6,000 years. The biggest of the Sequoias is about 30 feet in diameter while the Oaxaca cypress measures 41 feet, through the trunk. There is no wav to determine the exact age without cutting the tree, since rate of growth varies markedly even among trees of the same species SPRING FANTASY The winter's drear monotony is past. And plants are breaking upward through the snow. I hear the waters, rushing, tumbling fast. And winter wheat is sprouting, row on row. I would be free as bluebirds on the wing. I would away to meet the breathles* morn. If you were at my side to laugh and sing. And hand in hand to watch the day be born. Across the bounding azure hills to ny. Nor stop lor such a little thing as sleep; But when the sun-warmed clouds roll softly nigh. Heads nestled close, to slumber long and deep. And then at gath'ring eve I’ll hold your hand. And gaze into the depths of your blue eyes; And there I’ll read the answer and command— And I’ll obey, and love shall spring surprise. And as this verse is penned on Wed nesday eve. The weatherman looks at his charts ’ askance. The sifting snow drifts slowly up his sleeve; And winter wheat just hasn’t got a chance. —Rocky Mountain News. Adopts Britain’s Policy. From the Boston Transcript. Paris is wondering what Mr. Kel logg means by his announcement that the United States is willing to enter into an agreement with all other pow ers to abolish submarines. Mr. Kel logg's fellow citizens of the Unitea States are likely to feel and express the same wonder. Certainly the an nouncement appears to be—though we cannot for a moment suppose that it is intended to be—an affront to the French republic at the very moment when the United States is consum mating with that republic a beauti ful arrangement for eternal amity. Whv should the United States ap _...._;.. hind the British thicket in time to sign the treaty with France? And why should the United States just at this moment enter the field as the proponent of a policy that no country v ants except Great Britain—which is absolutely impossible of general ac ceptance? We wonder. And we also wonder why Secretary Kellogg should in such an off-hand manner assume that the American people are willing to aban don a means of defense to which our tw'o ocean coast, and our purely de fensive poliev as regards the subject of warfare among the nations, clear ly commit us. America ha.i no thought of warfare except as a means of defense, and the current and effec tive weapons of defense we must keep In our hands.
