is an American, a native of New Eng-

is his belief that Buddha was a Per-

Hindu teaching, which also explains
a reference to Buddha In the ancient -

which could not have been used had

the president suddenly said that a per-
nicious lobby was at work In Wash-
ington.. Then he added that he had
dally evidence of the existence of such
a lobby, and be also said in effect
that It was useless for Interested
ones to say that evil Influences were
not being exerted to defeat perfect-
ly proper legislation.
Virtually this was the first time that
Mr. Wilson had given the correspond-1
ents a real story. It was early In Ills
administration. When the president
had said what he <$td. It was iuriaiit-
ly suggested to him that if ha would
allow, himself to be quoted It wiiuld
help things much Then Mr. Wilson
turned to a stenographer and dictated
a statemet t on the lobby matter and
gave It to the press.
Started Big Investigation.
When the charge that a lobby had
been at work and was at work was
published, many or the senators and
representatives made light of the ac
cusatlon and said that Mr. Wilson
would have to work to prove what be
had said. Within a rew hours the
president undertook to, prove .hla
charge and tha lobby Investigation ot
comparatively recent history was on.
It la not too much to say that the
old-tlrae lobbyist, the pernicious type,
haa been absent rrom Washington for
acme time although ha keem up hla
work from a distance.
A good deal has oeen written from
lima to time about lobbies It baa
coma to be recognized and proof bas
been adduced this winter of the fact
that tha letter lobby la more effica-
cious than a personal lobby, and ordi-
narily It bas little that la pernicious
about It.
The letter lobby consists In tha re-
ceipt of letters and telegrams by sena-
tors and representatives trom their
constituents urging them to support
this bill or that bill or to oppose Ibis
bill or that bill When ihe letters
and telegrams come in In huge num-
