sthe game too well to [LOBBY "PULLS BIE OAR N WASHINGTON Reform Bodies, With Weil ‘Paid Agents, Keep Vigilant Eye on Legislation. ‘Tee Bre eontal trom 8 Matt Corvepentent of WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.—Not to be watdone by the “commercial” lobbies the “moral” lobby at Washington tn pulling a big oar in the Congressional Whirlpool, ®ome of the prominent organiza- tions in this group are: ‘The Anti- Baloon League; The Federal Counct! of the Church of Christ in America; ‘The Board of Prohibition and Mo: of the Methodist Episcopal Church; The National Reform Association and the International Reform Associa- thon. They are well represented in the battle of voices in Congressional cor- vidora and their Mterature forms a large part of the bales of printed matter delivered at Congressmen's offices during a session of Congress, The Anti-Saloon League !s the best known of all. Dr. B. C. Dinwiddie, Mow retired, put thie organisation on the map by twenty years of active work on Capitol Hill. Dinwiddie earned the reputation of being the most ac- tive and pestiferous lobbyist ever on the job here. Three years ago, when the National Prohibition Law became effective, Dinwiddie retired from the Anti-Sa- Toon League work, and Wayne Bb. Wheeler, general counsel of the or- nization, took bis piace. Wheeler said to draw a saary of $10,000, and Congressmen on whose coat- tails he camps concede that he earns it. ‘Wheeler {s omnipresent when pro- hibition legislation is being discussed in committee or on the floor of the Senate or House, and his figure’is « familiar one around the doors of Congress, sending in hie card for va- rious members. He kevps his finger on the pulse of Congress on every bil! that affects booze and he can com as near as any Washington lobbyist te correctly estimating what the vou will be on a particular measure. Wheeler ‘was Dinwiddie's under- study in the earlier daya and he has worked his way up to a position of imence in the ‘Third House." has been known to sit in the gal- lery when a prohibition measure was . being fought out on the floor and help direct the fight by sending down notes to the “dry” leaders. He was om the job every minute when the Anti-Reer Bill was being debated in the Senate a few weeks ago, and hv id not flinch trom some rather caus- We denunciation of himself and his organization at the hands of Senu- tors who resented his activity. When the National Prohibition law d, it was thought the Anti- mn League would disband, but those who have subsisted on the con- tribution of prohibition zealots Hked quit, and Wheeler's email, but select army composed of himself and half a Gozen office assistants are still draw- tag monthly pay checks the country agains’ What About Price? Most people are pretty much interested now-a- days in the consideration .of price, especially in the price of wearing ap- parel. Hence a statement © polky may not caome Since the inception of this business our prices have been based on cost plus @ reasonable profit. The cost is fixed by the quality of materials and work- manship used, which, in the case of Dr. Reed Cushion Shoes, is of the highest. The result of our policy has been the development of a shoe which is most economical in that its ser- viceability is extraordi- nary. In this, as in the matter of comfort and style, we invite the most severe comparison—it al- ways leads ultimately to the purchase of Dr. Reed Cushion Shoes. |. _ Bor Mon Made by J.P. SMITH SHOE CO.
