Several hundred other lobbyists don’t profess to be lawyers. No- body knows how many, among those who do, ever passed bar exams. Sometimes lobbyists start with an ace in the hole.

Millard of New York, who recently was yelling so loudly about the Jim Farley stamp scandal, requested the United Drydocks Co. to give some of its sheet metal work to a New York man.

I mouthful of meat. Many do so as a matter of preference. Books on diet give long lists of substitutes. Failure to buy, either because of concerted action or lack of finances on the part of poten- tial purchasers, will have the effect of reducing prices. The immutable law of supply and de- mand takes care of such things. We will be lucky, however, if it is left to work the thing out normally and naturally. It is quite as’likely that another economic disturb- ance will be caused by political action. If that happens,.the farmer will find himself in a sorry plight indeed, for the only thing which has per- mitted operation of the farm adjustment move- ment has been consumer tolerance and sym- pathy for the farmer, Daily by. mail outside of North Dakota Weekly by mail in state, per year .... ‘Weekly by mail outside of North Dak year . oa ‘Weekly by mail in Canada, per year....

SACRED ANONYMITY! The holier-than-thou attitude, doubtless a de- fense mechanism, is a conspicuous lobbyist char- acteristic. Sterling Joyner, agent for the “sub- marine trust,” wrote his superiors when reporting how he had had certain committeemen appointed and certain claims papers “moved up over 3000 other claims” as follows: “My reason for not put- ting this (details of how it was done) in writing is out of respect for those who helped, and were so powerful and so friendly. The code of honor be- tween men makes it unethical to name persons.” observed him with Senator Walsh of Massachu- setts at the Carlton not long ago. see ‘CLOSE TO THE PRESIDENT:’ One of White House Secretary Marvin McIntyre’s chief uses to lobbyists who have paraded with him pub- licly is that his association with them is likely to give congressmen (who sometimes aren’t very bright) the idea that the president doesn’t mean what he says. Admin- istrationists trying to put over the holding company bill were especially bitter about McIntyre’s social life. Holding companies, now to be regulated and in many cases dissolved by the SEC, will find friends on the SEC staff, but hardly on the commission. Wall Street sent a contingent down here to work for the commission— other employes call them “spi¢s’—and there’s a natural yen on the part of still others to land a good Wall Street berth at the first opportunity. eee ‘WINDOW DRESSING’ HELPFUL In big time Lobbyist Arthur Mullen’s office, the tele- phone girl is likely to stick her head in the door and say, May and December Senator McAdoo, marrying a 26-year-old woman at | ‘71, probably was not flattered by the comment of his new 55-year-old father-in-law that he would have liked it better if his daughter had married a younger man, The sentiment is easily understandable and probably is shared by @ great portion of our population, as indi- cated by the sly and quasi-humorous comments which announcement of the engagement called forth. The reasons are rather obvious. At 71 McAdoo's Span of life is limited. Statistics show that he is quite likely to live to be 80 or more, since his health now is good. But the grim reaper is bound to catch up with him sooner or later and the prospect is that his bride will be widowed before she is 40. Beyond question, the senator has mich to offer any ‘woman. He is more than ordinarily wealthy. The social position which he can give his bride is unquestionable. ‘Women who formerly looked down upon her as a “mere nurse” will be glad to seek her favor. These are advan- tages of a substantial nature. But no matter how much the contracting parties desire to make a go of it, the union is bound to become anyone knows.
