SENATOR HOKE SMITH
IEI
Speaking-to Georgia Legis
lators, and Through Them to
People, He Reviews Efforts
and Accomplishments
To an audience which packed the floor
and galleries of the house of representa
tives’ hall, Senator Hoke Smith Friday at
noon delivered an address in which he
rendered a comprehensive account of his
stewardship. He had been invited to ad
dress the general assembly and almost
every member was present to hear him
speak. Although his address was direct
ed to the legislators it was intended to
also be a report to the people of Geor
gia.
Long before 12 o’clock the pecfple be
gan to arrive to hear Senator Smith’s
address, and in advance of the hour
fixed the galleries were filled, with evefy
seat taken and many people standing,
while many other citizens crowded at
the doors of the house, overflowing upon
the floor and taxing the efforts of the
presiding officer to keep that space clear
for the members.
SPEECH IN FULL.
Following is Senator Smith's address
in full:
Senators and Members of the House of
Representatives:
I thank you for the privilege of ad
dressing you. It is a great pleasure
to be here. The one drawback to serv
ice in the United States senate has
been it has kept me away from home.
I believe that public office should be
held alone for public service. The
chief compensation to the man who
fills office should be the knowledge that
he has really served his constituents;
I ’may add also the gratification of
' having your constituents think so.
It cannot be doubted that public
service is promoted by / having those
represented know just what their rep
resentatives .do. As this is the first
time I have addressed my constituents
since I entered the senate, I wish to
speak of what has been done in that
body', and to give some account of my
stewardship.
CHILDREN’S BUREAU.
Very soon after I entered the sen
ate we had under consideration a bill
to create a children’s bureau. The
purpose of this measure was through
this bureau to study the problems of
child life with , the view of furnishing
information helpful to the develop
ment of the highest type of citizens.
The constitutionality of the measure
was attacked by several senators,
among others by Senator Bailey, of
Texafe. I was requested by friends of
the measure to speak in support of the
constitutionality of the bill.
I believe the national government
has the right to appropriate money for
the general welfare, spending it with
the powers specifically given by the
constitution. Where no powers are spe
cifically given by the constitution, the
national government can still spend
money as any private citizen might
spend his own money, provided always
the expenditure is for the general wel
fare.
I believe there are causes which fur
nish opportunity for service to the gen
eral public of great importance. I
would rather see the national govern
ment raise the money by income taxes
and spend it for such causes, than to
leave the people indebted to men for
great charities.
I appreciated the opportunity to first
speak in the senate for such a cause
as the creation of the children’s nu-
reau. The bureau has oeen establish
ed, and I hope it will grow in value.
GENERAL ARBITRATION TREATIES.
During 1911 much was heard through
out the United States about general
arbitration treaties which had been ne
gotiated with foreign^ countries that
were to bring to an end the possibility
of war. Many good men all over the
country urged the adoption of these
treaties without realizing the conse
quences which would follow.
After carefully studying .these treat
ies I reached the conclusion that un
der them foreign countries could de
mand arbitration of questions involv
ing our purely governmental policies.
They could have demanded arbitration
of our right to hold the Panama canal
zone, of questions affecting the admis
sion of aliens into the United States,
and the admission of aliens into the
educational institutions in the several
states, of questions involving the Mon
roe doctrine, and of questions involv
ing the alleged indebtedness or mon
eyed obligations of the southern states.
To bring the problem immediately
hpme to ourselves, they could have de
manded an arbitration of the liability
of Georgia for the bonds issued during
reconstruction times, and repudiated by
the state. Indeed, my colleague and I
were advised that pending the consider
ation of the treaty letters with refer
ence to the repudiated bonds had al
ready been presented at the state de
partment.
The proposed treaties were supported
in debate by leading Republicans, among
others, Senators Root, Lodge and Bur
ton. The senior senator from Georgia
opened the debate in favor of amend
ments requiring a modification of the
treaties so as to exclude the objection
able features to which I have referred,
and I had the privilege of closing the
debate against these treaties.
The treaties were approved, but not
until the more objectionable paragraphs
were stricken, and a proviso added that
the ratification was with the understand
ing made a part of the ratification that
the treaties would not authorize the sub
mission to arbitration of any claim con
cerning the question of the alleged in
debtedness of moneyed obligations of
any state of the United States or of any
question affecting the . admission of
aliens into the United States or of the
admission of aliens to the educational
institutions of the several states, or of
the Monroe doctrine, or of questions of
purely governmental policy.
The importance of excluding as a
question of arbitration the right of
aliens to enter our country, to enter the
schools of the states and to buy land,
has recently attracted especial attention
in connection with the determined pur
pose of the white people of the Pacific
coast to protect themselves against
Asiatic immigration. I sympathize with
them in their determination to preserve
the beautiful slopes west of the Rocky
Mountains for the white men who are
now there, and for those who may grow
up to inhabit the soil of their fathers.
Chinese and Japanese' already in suf
ficient numbers have landed upon their
coast to teach them the difficulties which
may come from race problems. We ma.y
find from their situation at least one
source of comfort. Prom their troubles
the whole country is realizing the diffi
culties with which we have had to con
tend, and th^y are helping us make con
verts to the doctrine that we must bo
left to handle our troubles for our
selves.
In this connection I wish to add that
I voted for two battle ships. I believe
it essential to the peace of this coun
try that war vessels of the United
States shall be strong enough to pro
tect our shores and our foreign com
merce from any foe. I believe it essen
tial that our men-of-war should be able
to control the ocean west of us. ,, We
need fear no trouble on the east.
CIVIL WAR PENSION BILLS.
About the time the general arbitra
tion treatures were disposed of, the
house of representatives passed what
was known as the Sherwood pension
bill. It provided for an increase of be
tween eighty and ninety million annual
ly to the union pensioners of the Civil
war. It came to the senate and was
referred to the pension committee.
While it was pending before the pension
committee a number of special pension
bills came up in the senate for action.
These were bills providing for increas
es in various amounts of from fifteen to
fifty dollars to men already receiving
pensions.
I believed that it was essential to
build a sentiment against the Sherwood
bill before it was reported out of the
committee on pensions, and I took ad
vantage of the pendency of the special
pension bills to discuss the pension
question, and to build as far as possi
ble a sentiment against the enormous
increase proposed by the Sherwood bill.
So unaccustomed was the senate to
hear a southern man protest against
lUnion pensions that at first only two
senators gave me support when I called
for an aye and nay vote. They were my
colleague and Senator Bryan, of Florida.
Already the government had paid to
Union pensions of the Civil war more
than four billions of dollars. When 1
stated this fact upon the floor of the
senate the senator from New Hamp
shire interrupted me and protested that
I was mistaken. I had the report of
the commissioner of pensions in my
hand, and turned to the figures show
ing that the actual payments made up
to that time had been four billions, one
hundred millions of dollars. The figures
were startling.'
The entire agricultural lands in the
eleven southern states with all the im
provements thereon together with the
agricultural implements and live stock
amounted, according to the census of
1870, to only one billion and forty mil
lions of dollars.
Under our system of taxation prior
to the adoption of the income tax it is
conceded that the actual payments of
national taxes were prorated between
the states according to population. Dur
ing the period since the Civil war these
eleven states have averaged more than
one-fourth of the population of the
United States. They have, therefore,
contributed more than one-fourth of the
money paid as pensions to the union
soldiers of the Civil war. The startling
truth Is demonstraed that the eleven
southern states have paid to union pen
sioners of the Civil war the entire value,
in 1870, of their agricultural lands, all
improvements thereon together with
their agricultural implements and live
stock. - v
The difficulty has not been so much
that excessive pensions have been paid
to the Union soldiers who were really
engaged in the war, who really lay in
the trenches and rendered service, but
a large part of it has been contributed
to men who never rendered any serv
ice, and never were near enough to a
battle line to rub the blacking off their
boots. We attacked not the pensions to
the real soldiers, but the pensions to
sham soldiers, and the failure of past
Republican legislation to distribute the
money where it should have gone.
This fight upon special pensions was
kept up for about three weeks. Before
it ended there were many recruits who
joined Senators Bacon, Bryan and my
self in the fight, and we built a senti
ment against extravagant pensions,
which while it did not defeat the Sher
wood bill, helped cause its reduction
from eighty-five millions annually to
about twenty millions annually.
The pay roll to pensioners of the Civil
war will amount this year to $170,000,-
000. It would seem that this should
satisfy the demand of the most extreme,
but there are other bills pending for
large general increases of pensions. The
time has passed when the voice of any
representative frpm any section of this
Union should be silent upon a question
that concerns the general interests,
and I believe it to be the duty of your
senators to resist in every proper way
an increase in the now already enormous
payments for pensions of the Civil war.
WORKMEN’S COMPENSATION ACT.
The bill known as the workmen’s com
pensation act, provided for an adjust
ment of the injuries to railroad em-
poyes engaged in interstate commerce.
While I was opposed to the principle of
a compensation act, I opposed this bill
because the payments to be made were
so small that I considered it really a
bill to save the railroad corporations
from their just liability to injured em
ployes. I opposed it also because it de
prived the state court of any jurisdiction
over the subject, and required all trials
to be had by a federal court officer, call
ed an adjuster, who really occupied the
position of a special master.
When the bill was in the senate I
sought to amend it that it might be re
lieved of its objectionable features.
Practically every Democrat supported
the amendments offered but they were
defeated by the Republican vote. In
the house ninety-eight amendments
1 were added to the bill. It reached the

PATERSON, N. J., July 21.—The
break in the ranks of the silk mill strik
ers reported yesterday after announce
ment that “Big Bill” Haywood is physi
cally unable to continue leadership is
construed by the mill owners as mean
ing the end of their five months’ trou
ble with their factory hands. It is es
timated that $2,000,000 in wages has
been lost, while the manufacturers are
about $1,000,000 out of pocket.
The strike began February 25. when
17,500 hands were called out. The first
break in the strikers’ ranks occurred
three weeks ago, when the ribbon and
broad silk branches succeeded in oper
ating successfully. The dyers, however,
held firm until yesterday, when some of
them retrned and it was predicted that
the entire body of 3,500 would be at the
vats this week. Manufactrers say that
the season now lost was the most prom
ising in orders of any since 1907.
Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, the young
woman leader, who is at her father’s
home at New York, has denied that she
has deserted the strikers. Her absence
from Paterson since Tuesday she ex
cused by saying a sore throat kept her
from the work.
should conform to the international par
cel post. The literature which they
had read to a great extent had been
printed and circulated by the large post-
office order department stores located
in New York, Philadelphia and Chicago.
They were simply seeking to prepare an
easy way to distribute their own goods
without reference to the interest of the
public at large.
- was a member of the senate commit
tee on postoffices and post roads which
had the parcel post before it. The
house passed a bill giving a rate of 15
cents for eleven pounds on rural routes,
but providing a uniform rate of 12 cents
a pound for shipments other than on ru
ral routes. The senate postoffice com
mittee gave a large amount of study to
this question and gathered much statis
tical information. I became thorough
ly satisfied that the hauls in which our
Georgia peopl e were interested were the
short hauls from points to points in
side our own state, and not the longer
hauls from Chicago, New York or Phil
adelphia. A rate of 12 cents a pound
for short hauls would have prevented
the use by our people of hauls in the
state. The rate would have been pro
hibitive.
To illustrate: It would have made a
charge of $1.32 for the transportation
of an eleven-pound package from Mari
etta to Atlanta, from Newnan to La-
Grange, or from Forsyth to Macon. We
sought to find what the cost would be
to the government for carrying pack
ages short distances by parcel post, and
we fixed the rate far below 12 cents a
pound for the short hauls, and we also
provided a plan by which these rates
could be still further lowered if it was
found upon experience that the cost of
carriage to the government would justi
fy a still further reduction.
Perhaps no one upon the postoffice
committee took a deeper interest in this
rate problem applied to the parcel post,
than I did. I believe the parcel post is
destined to be of immense service to all
of our people and that no state will de
rive greater benefit from it than Geor
gia. It will facilitate exchange of prod
ucts between the merchants and their
customers, but especially it will facilitate
the sale of his smaller products by the
farmer. I feel sure that it will grow
in value as it grows in use, and I am
gratified to have had an opportunity to
help properly start the parcel post.
RURAL CARRIERS.
In this connection I wish to say that
I believe the government should make
provisions for the expenses of the rural
carriers which will grow with the par
cel post. At the last session of con
gress I had the opportunity of helping
increase their maximum pay from $900
to $1,100. I shall urge this winter an in
crease of the maximum pay to $1,400.
It should be remembered that the rural
route agents are required to furnish
their own teams, keep up their own con
veyances, and feed their teams. We
will require improved modes of trans
portation over rural routes, and some
plan must be adopted to meet these
changing conditions.
GOOD ROADS
An important question which has been
considered by the senate has been that
of national aid to good road building.
This question is now before the postof
fice and post roads committee of the
senate. I favor national aid to road
building.
In the reorganization last March where
I had the opportuntiy to select some
what for myself the committees upon
which I would serve, I determined to re
main upon the postoffice and post roads
committee of the senate <fnd upon the
committee on agriculture, rather than
to go instead upon committee perhaps
more showy, because 1 believe that
thfese two committees fur»ish especial
opportunity to care in a practical way
for those questions that would affect di
rectly the majority of the people of the
state, and I retained my positions upon
them as a means of watching your in-
AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION DE
PARTMENT.
The importance of agriculture to our
entire country is more thoroughly ap-
senate two days before adjournment,
and was called up for discussion. One
of these amendments passed by the
house allowed the defendant corporation
to remove any case appealed to the
Unlt©d States district c°urt from the
decision of an adjuster to the residence
of the defendant. This would ha^ al
lowed such railroad companies as the
Southern, the Louisville and Nashville,
tne Seaboard and the Atlantic Coast
Line, doing business in Georgia, to take
cases out of Georgia, and try them in
the state and county of the principal of
fices of these corporations.
I, stated very frankly upon the floor
of the senate that it would be impossi
ble for me to present in two days the
views I desired to express with refer
ence to the ninety-eight amendments
passed by the house, and that as the
senate would adjourn in two days the
debate could not be concluded within
the remaining time. The bill was there
upon abandoned in the senate by those
who had supported it.
The measure will come up again in
different shape next winter. I think
it exeremely probable that a bill free
from objection can be perfected and
passed.
EXCISE TAX.
When the excise tax bill came over
from the house I was requested by the
Democrats’ of the finance committee of
the senate to take charge of the meas
ure and conduct the debate from the
Democratic standpoint. As the consti
tutional amendment authorizing an in
come tax has been approved by the
necessary number of states, and as our
new revenue bill provides for ari Income
tax, I will not take your time to dis
cuss the excise tax for it was simply
intended as a substitute for an income
tax pending our lack of constitutional
authority to pass an income tax.
I gave my most cordial support to the

SEATLTE, Wash., July 21.—While
officers of the Pacific fleet reserve of
the United States navy were dancing
at the army and navy ball in the state
armory late last night and early to
day, several hundred ojf their sailors
and marines were marching through the
streets of Seattle denouncing the In
dustrial Workers of the World and the
red flag, and sacking and burning So
cialist and Industrial Workers head
quarters. In their excitement they de
molished a Salvation Army meeting
room before learning that they had mis
taken the place.
The city headquarters of the “Mod
erate Socialists" and the “Radical So
cialists” were raided and the books
and furniture carried into the street
and burned. A Socialist news stand on
the principal street corner of the city
was destroyed, and the big meeting
room of the Industrial WorKers of the
W orld, in the southern part of the city,
was stripped of its belongings, which
were thrown from a second story win
dow and burned in the streets.
NO POLICE RESISTANCE
The police offered no resistance. Some
of the officers said that all the force
was busy handling crowds attending the
Golden Potlatch festivities, and no re
serves were available to cope 'with the
rioters.
Hat bands of the cruisers Charleston,
Colorado and California were most
numerous among the raiding sailors. A
rew uniformed members of the Wash
ington naval militia joined in, but sail
ors made up most of the mob. Actual
destruction of property was carried on
by uniformed men, including a number
of petty officers. The damage is esti
mated at $6,000.
A report was widely circulated today
that Secretary of the Navy Josephus
Daniels, in a speech at the Rainier club,
this city, had taken the Industrial
Workers of the World as his subject,
and had declared that they and all other
believers in the red flag should be
driven from the country. Those who
heard the address of the secretary say
that it was exceedingly moderate and
had no reference to any local trouble.
Nor did he at any time mention the
Industrial Workers.
A street fight Thursday night at an
Industrial Workers’ meeting, in which
three soldiers were beaten, had been
represented to the naval men as a di
rect attack upon the service. All day
some sort of trouble had been expected.
RIOTING STARTED EARLY.
The rioting began before dark. At
first only a dozen sailors were engaged,
but later the number increased to prob
ably 300. The crowd continued march
ing through the streets until after mid
night, waving American flags and yell
ing defiance at the Industrial Workers of
the World.

NEW YORK, July 21.—Private Henry
A. Paetow, a driver of battery E, First
field artillery. New York national guard,
believes he has proved that there are
at least some men in the mounted serv
ice who can make forced marches with
as much show of endurance as the men
of the regular infantry.
Paetow succeeded yesterday in reach
ing Montauk Point, the eastern extremi
ty of Long Island, where his battery
mates are encamped, after marching
alone the 123 miles from New York in
47 hours, an hour less than he had set
for the task. Much of the country
through which he had to pass is so
rough and sandy that hardly any of
the officers thought the feat possible.
The young guardsman carried his full
equipment. On the way he encountered
a blinding rainstorm, which raged for
several hours and also fought his way
through many swarms of mosquitoes.
Major General O’Ryan, who is review
ing -the maneuvers at Montauk, praised
the young guardsman for his enthusi
asm and hardihood.

PARCEL POST.
Perhaps no more interesting subject
was before the last congress than the
question of a parcel post. The inter
national parcel post is conducted as a
result of treaties upon a flat 12 cents
a pound rate. The farmers of the coun- !
try had largely been educated to the
view that our domestic parcel jftost
preciated at present than at any past
time. With us in Georgia it furnishes
the chief source of prosperity. When
the farmer prospers every occupation
and every line of industry in Georgia
prospers. When the farmer fails to
make a profit from his crop money is
scarce in the state and the complaint of
hard times is heard on all sides.
Many truths have been discovered in
the last few years with reference to
those things which pertain to farming.
The state colleges of agriculture and
experiment stations have conducted in
vestigations and made tests of great
importance, and their investigations and
tests have been especially with refer
ence to the conditions in their respec
tive states. These institutions are still
engaged upon this work and will con
tinue to demonstrate new truths which
would be most helpful if understood and
used in the daily work on the farm.
Very soon after entering the senate I
conferred with the executive committee
cf the state agricultural colleges and
! experiment stations with a view to
j legislation which would enable the col
leges of agriculture and experiment sta
tions to demonstrate in each county of
every state in the Union, in the pres
ence of the farmers and upon their
farms, all the truths that heretofore or
hereafter may be worked out in the
colleges or experiment stations. We pre
pared a bill for the creation of agricul
tural extension departments in each of
the state. colleges of agriculture
throughout the country.’ I introduced
the bill into the senate, and Congress
man Lever, of South Carolina, intro
duced the bill into the house. I found
myself embarrassed, in pressing the
bill in the senate, by a bill previously
i introduced upon the subject of voca
tional education by Senator Page, of
j Vermont.
The bill passed the house and came
over to the senate. It passed the sen
ate, but, by almost a strict party vote,
additional provisions were added to it
by the Republicans, which loaded the
measure down to such an extent that
it did not pass in Its amended form in
the house, and we were unable to ob
tain in conference any agreement which
could bring about any legislation upon j
this line.
I reintroduced the measure at the '
first of the present session, and have ;
j the utmost confidence that it will pass
| next winter. Under its provisions, in
j a short time we will have a trained ex-
i pert in every county in the state show-
! ing, by demonstration, all that is
: worked out at the state college of agrri-
i culture and experiment station.
VOCATIONAL EDUCATION.

j toward which the attention of our peo-
] pie can be turned is the proper training
; of children for lines of work they will
follow in maturing years. I believe

The report shows the bill as reported
to the senate provides rates 4.21 per
cent lower than the Underwood bill as
it passed the house and that from it,
together with other government reports
for the fiscal year, ending June 30, 1914,
there will be an estimated surplus in
the government treasury of $2,020,000.
A salient feature of this bill, it is
pointed out, is the large increase of
imports to be admitted free of duty.
Under the house bill the value of free
listed imports, on the basis of 1912
importations, was $103,000,000, whereas
the Democrats of the senate in caucus
by sweeping changes propose to free
list imports valued at $147,367,000,
an increase in undutiable imports over
the house bill of $43,367,000.
REVENUE OF $996,810,000.
Upon the basis of ten months for the
coming fiscal year the report estimates
thdt the total customs receipts und,er
the new bill will be $266,730,000; from
income tax for ten months, $58,330,000;
corporation. $37,000,000; internal reve
nue, including tax on cotton futures of
$5,000,000. $297,000,000. and that the
revenue from all other sources will
bring the total for the fiscal year to
$996,810,000. With disbursements estiA
mated for the committee by treasury
experts at $994,790,000, a balance is
shown in favor of the government of
$2,020,000.
In analyzing its changes in the
house administrative features of the bill,
the committee “deemed the amendments
of the house entirely too drastic,” par
ticularly those authorizing examination
of books of foreign manufacturers, a 5
per cent tariff discount on imports in
American ships and other like features,
which were stricken out. Particular at
tention is called to> the senate provi
sion “designated to furnish the presi
dent with power to impose tariff du
ties of a retaliatory character upon all
articles comprised in a specified list.”

ucts.
present. The failure of the foreigners
to understand a notice flashed upon the
screen that the picture would be taken,
is believed to account for the panic.
