President Wilson at his inaugural, said Secretary Daniels, nsn the first of Presidents in recent years to "lot th people in," relating an incident at th Inaugural at Washington whew Mr. Wil son found upon rising to inske hie now famous pronouncement againat lobbyists and the monopolistic Influence at ths rspitol, he found, that ths people, th great mass of rititrns were standing far (cyond the reach of his voice; ami that the interveuing spscs was occupied by West Point troops. Refore beginning his frank discussion of the great Ameri can questions the President asked that the radeta give way and that the peo ple lie brought up under close tn the stand. "That incident." aaid secretary Daniela. "waa a parable of the whole administration." Kecretary Imniela spoke of the lobby that far many years had prevailed at Washington, thwarting the will of the masses by the expenditure ef great amounts of money in a propaganda meant to defeat popular legislation and to " perpetuate the trusts and monopolies iu control of legislation that lurte4 their-interests. lie pah! a mag niflrent tribute to the work of Senator Overman, who waa chairman ef ths lobby investigation committee proposed by President Wilson, and rapidly re viewed the testimony forced from head of bureaus and lobbies established with in the very shadow of the capital build ing by seeial Interests, "la this." said Secretary Daniels, "President Wils m was lighting the ancient arrk enemy of American republicanism the' spirit of sm for skin trouble ' roroeertasMdi T earl rAyslcfrr, bar) f -Ha .

Biekctt as Governor. n our own State th miasma of the lobby needs to be expelled. W have seen in Raleigh with each Incoming legislature an influx of lobbyists and the employment of lobby ists at th State Capitol who have often thwarted the will of the people of this State. The short session of the legisla ture does not open the eyes of the leg islators to the pestilential character of this lobby until the session draws near its eloee. Our new Governor, following in the footsteps of Arcock, Glenn, Kltckin nnd Craig, will dVi many great things for North Carolina, but there is one service he can render Immediately upon his inauguration, and that is to turn the calcium light on the lobby and to drive it out nf the State Capital aa it haa been driven out of the National Capital. Ita expulsion is necessary to insure good legislation. There has been ft scandal that men, most of them mom hers of the honorable profession of the law, hsve camped In Raleigh much'of the sixty days and hare taken money to promote or to oppose public measures The time ha coma when they must be driven out of the capital where they have too long been tolerated. It may take vlgoroua mcasurea to do It hut under the leadership of Riekett It must be done. I'nless it is done, much of the best leg Islation will fall by the wayside. The practice has grown up in North Csro- lina, fta In other States where it has been said to ths eternal disgrace of the profession, lawyer accept fee to lobby against measures for the public weal Some of them who have been members of the General Assembly even so far forgst the ethics of their profession as to avail themselves of the privileges of th floor to ply their nefarious trade of lobbying. Wilsoa gave it a solar plexus blow at Washington. Birkctt will mske certain the carrying out the important LVl iT. . i t . . r . . .

Th appearance of aa ex-Coagreasmaa or an ex-legislator In the role of a lob byist in Washington or Raleigh should be made impossible by law. Public opinion should enforce such a law. There ia a clear line ef division between aa attofasy appearing before a committee disclosing the fact that b appears fof a certain client and aa attorney or other lobbyist eeeking to Influence legialatioa by reason of hi legal, personal or polit ical Influence.
