SMITH OF GREENE
MAKES A SPEECH
“Smith, of Greene!" called the dark.
He waa reading tha roll on a blit which
had attracted little attention and which
waa evidently going through by an
easy majority. Mr. Smith rose pon
derously In hla seat and cleared hie
throat. Then the house recognlxed Its
opportunity for relaxation and turned
toward the gentleman from Greene.
"Mr. Bpeaker," remarked Mr. Smith,
"The aun never roee upon a fairer state
than Geor—"
Tumultuous applause Interrupted
him. It'began near the speaker’s desk
and rippled back to tha door. The ora
tor paused.
—gin," continued Mr. Smith. "Gentle
men of the house, I am here today—”
The tumult broke out anew at this
stirring climax and desk tops were In
danger of splitting under the flats of
enthuslaatlc members. Mr. Smith wolt-
istlently and smilingly,
orty long years ago,” he remarked
—this time It waa a veritable storm of
applause which ascended to the celling.
Members rushed from corridor and
cloak room to the house, drawn by the
unusual disturbance. Visitors In tha
gallery hent over the rail to sea the
speaker who could produce such an af
fect on the usually Impassive house.
Tltf president of the Smokers’ Club
stuck his head In the door.
‘Oh, It's Just Smith, of Greene, ex
plaining hla vote,” ha aald.
‘REVENGE IS SWEET,’
WHISPERS ARNOLD,
AS HE SOAKS HALL
"The house will be resolved Into a
committee of the whole house with the
gentleman from Uglethorpe In the
chair." ,
Speaker Slaton hammered the desk
with hla gavel and tha new chairman
ascended the stand. It was Mr. Ar
nold's first appearance as the cxar ot
the house and he was greeted i
round after round of applause. When
he reached for the gavel and attempt
ed to quiet the house something In the
humor of the situation appealed to hint
and he broke Into a smile. Thot «»
the signal for more cheering and laugh
ter wMrh lasted until tw , holm.mi f
gained control of his features.
"Mr. Chairman!" cried Mr. Hall, of
BIbh, In rising to a question.
"The gentleman from Illbb will be
seated. He talks too much end always
about the same thing," ruled Chair
man Arnold. It waa hla revenge tor
tha many hammerings hla measures
had received at tha hands of the great
obstructionist. The gentleman from
Bibb sat down suddenly.
Mr. Kelder, of Dlbh, tried hts luck by
rising to a point of order, but the chair
overruled him at once. The two col-
leagues retired to talk It over whUa Mr.
Arnold rushed the measure through
with dispatch and went back to tha
floor with a grunt of rellaf.

^GOSSIP OF=
STATESMEN AND POLITICIANS
Senator A. O. Blalock got tangled in
a quotation while apes Xing for the
Boykin bill Thuraday, and after sev
eral Ineffectual efforts to get It straight
rertlved assistance from 8enator Ho
gan. who Is kindly disposed.
'.'Why, my friends, the proof of tha
pie Is eating the pudding," he said with
great emphasis.
But ft didn't sound right and he
mads another stab.
"Proof of the pudding Is In eating It."
Somehow that didn't ring true. By
now the senate was watching Sena
tor Blalock's entanglement and some
began to offer wggera that he'd never
gat it Just right.,
"That Is I mean, the pudding Is the
proof of the eating.”
Then uprose the rotund form of Sen
ator Hogan with the proffer:
“Maybe the senator means ’that the
proof of the pudding Is ths chewing ot
the bag.'"
Etertcated from his entanglement.
Senator Blalock proceeded with great
eloquence to complete his speech.
However, he didn't try any more quo
tations.
Evidently the present senate has no
notion of letting Senator Wheatley live
down his escapade on the Audubon
Society bill. Somebody drags It In to
the limelight at every opportunity. If
no opportunity happens along one la
mad* for tha occasion.
Senator Murphy Candler, as kindly
a hearted man aa ever lived, and one
noted for the gentleness of hi* char
acter, succumbed to the temptation and
"took a fall" out of the member from
the Thirteenth. H* waa discussing the
Wheatley substitute to tha Boykin bill:
"Why, you know I am yet afraid
that the senator from the Thirteenth
will disclaim paternity In thla substi
tute as he did In a certain other meas
ure here on the floor of the senate.
But that other bill was a bird of para
dise aa compared with this last mens
ure he has fathered."
Senator Candler quoted from the
Bible several tlmea 4n hla *|<eech
Thuraday on the bucketahop bill. ~
time he did so somebody u.
ed him a question. Finally he re
torted to an Interruption:
“Go ahead. Looks like I’m bringing
all the Biblical scholars of the senate
to the fore, however."
Senator. Candler I* responsible for
this one: "In a certain campaign one
of the candidates asked a friend what
he should make the Issue. After pon
dering nwhlle the friend replied:
" 'I tell you. Bill, Jump on the Chin
ese and give ’em hell. They ain't i
chink In the county.'"
"Crawf Wheatley has the courage of
his convictions and makes a clean,
straight from the shoulder light oven
when he knows he Is taking the un
popular side of it. And he ran and
always does the square thing, and
looses like the gentleman that he la.
Thuraday after the senate had given
the klbosli to his substitute to the Boy
kin bill lie sent up an amendment to
the original measure. Senator A. .«.
Blalock objected on the ground that
no previous notice had been given of It.
Immediately Senntor Wheatley cam*
to his feet and said:
"Mr. President, the senator from the
Twenty-sixth Is correct. The amend
ment proposed by me la clearly out of
order, and I respectfully withdraw It.”
Nothing rould have been more grace
fully done and more cienrty' right. But
many men would have had the
toofe and manhood to do It?
It waa hot work Thuraday for thoee
who elected apeak on t>- bucketahop
bill. Though he la a thl.. r. an physi-
cally. Senator (andler left th* cham
ber after hla effort with hi* clothing
wet with perspiration. Senator Steed
Is a big fellow, and t*. beat almoet
put him out of buelnen before he had
concluded. 8enatnr Miller |e a big
man, but he stood to th* Job with lea*
apparent discomfort than any of them.
With only live more days of legisla
tive life to Its credit the senate Is still
studiously Ignoring house general bills.
The house la apparently unconscious of
the peril Impending over eom* pet
tranalt It Is good to watch the wonder
ful swiftness and dexterity with which
Secretary Northen and Captain Han-
sell count the vote. It I* done with one
comprehensive sweep of eye and out

th* announcement:
"The vote Is 27 to 0."
It Is rarely more or fewer than 27 to
0. Thuraday the count was forgotten,
once, but It didn't make nny difference.
The vote recorded on the bill waa 27
to 0.
