RENDERS AN ACCOUNT
0F HIS STEWARDSHIP
(Continued from Page 3.)
thoroughly in vocational education. I
believe it to be entirely proper to aid
and encourage instruction of this char
acter by appropriation from the na
tional treasury.
I regard vocational education as en
tirely distinct from the agricultural ex
tension work to which I have just re
ferred, and with a purpose of separat
ing the two I have asked for the ap
pointment of a commission to study
and report to congress this winter upon
the problem of national aid to voca
tional education.
I would not approve national inter
ference with our state schools, but I
do believe that a plan can be matured
where national aid distributed through
state organizations would help stimu
late the training of children for the
various pursuits of life, and that such
appropriations will bring a great con
tribution to the brosperity of the en
tire country, and \o the happiness of all
the people.
MARKETING CROPS.
Early last yeax, after a conference
with the president and other officers of
the Farmers' union, I introduced a bill
to create a market division in the de
partment of agriculture. The work of
this division was to investigate systems
of marketing farm products, co-opera
tive and otherwise, in practice in va
rious sections of the United States, to
collect data with reference to them and
to distribute the data thus collected to
farmers and farm organizations.
Investigation has disclosed the fact
that an alarming waste takes place be
tween the producer and consumer of
farm products. Where the farmer re
ceives a dollar the average consumer
pays two dollars for the farm product.
To learn how to stop this waste," and to
divide the saving between the farmer
and the consumer is the great problem
of the market bureau of the agricultural
department.
I succeeded in having attached to the
agricultural appropriation bill a pro
vision under which this division has al
ready been started in the agricultural
department, and I believe it will grow
to be of great service to the farmers
and to the people generally.
REORGANIZATION OF THE SEN
ATE.
The complaint for years has Justly
been made that the senate of the Unit
ed States failed to respond to the wish
es of the people, that its action was
too mhch dominated by the influences
of special interests, and that rights
and the welfare of the great body of
the ■ people had scant hearing in the
uppe r house. One of the evils connect
ed with the plan of organizing the sen
ate which had contributed to j.ustify
this complaint was the rule of sen
iority of service which gave to sen
ators all the prominent positions, both
the chairmanships and the places lower
down on the committees of chief im
portance, due solely to the length of
tifne senators had served in the sen
ate.
I believed that this practice was
fundamentally wrong, that It put tne
power with either party in the sen
ate in the hands of a few. With sev
eral other senators early- last Decem
ber I determined to seek the overthrow
of the old rule of seniority and the es
tablishment of a form- of organization
more democratic in its character and
more serviceable la, its results. After
full conference we determined to ac
cord the chairmanships of the various
committees to senators based upon
length of time of service, but not to
concede second places upon any com
mittees to senators simply on account
of thedr length of service.
The plan which we adopted prevail
ed in the Democratic caucus, and those
of us who advocated this plan named
the new officers of the caucus and elect
ed the new steering committee, which
in turn assigned the various senators
to committee positions. The old sen
ators were given the most prominent
chairmanships, but new senators were
placed upon all the leading commit
tees with a disregard to the rule of
seniority never before known in the
senate. I hardly think anyone will
doubt that this change has worked to
the advantage of the party and the
country.
TARIFF BILL.
The finance committee organized un
der this new practice has reported to
the senate the house tariff bill with a
number of amendments. For the first
time in fifty years legislation intended
to take the burdens off the masses of
the people has found no resistence in
the Democratic senate. It must be
conceded by all that the senate Demo
crats have made the tariff hill more
Democratic than it was when it reached
the senate. I will say for my asso
ciate Democrats on the finance commit
tee of the senate, after ^working with
them an average of ten hours a day
Tor more than two months, I have nev
er known nine men to show more entire
freedom from Improper - influence or
more devoted purpose in everything
they did to serve the great body of
their fellow citizens.
Nearly all the time for half a century
the Republican party has maintained a
protective tariff so high that foreign
competition in many lines of industries
was prevented. Then under a system
which it fostered combinations de
stroyed domestic competition. The
consumers of the country were forced
to pay largely more for what they used
than would have been charged them un
der fair competition among sellers. The
Republican party has gone further. It
has made favorites out of particular
classes. It has received from them the
funds with which to carry on their cam
paigns and in return has paid them back
ten fold by the money which it has
aided them to unjustly take from the
pockets of the people.
f>LAN OF TARIFF REDUCTION.
The Democratic party has undertaken
to reform the tariff downward for the
purpose of stopping as far as possible
this system of legalized robbery. The
plan of the Democratic tariff bill in
volves several different propositions.
First, the raising of revenues.
Second, the production of legitimate
competition, to the end that fair prices
shall be charged consumers.
Third, no taxes, or the lowest possi
ble taxes, upon the necessaries of life
and those things used by the great body
sf the people.
Fourth, high taxes upon luxuries.
Each of these propositions has en
tered into the construction of the new
tariff bill. For the work of the Demo
crats of the house, shown by the tariff
bill which they sent us, I accord the
highest praise, but I declare without
fear of dispute, the Democrats of $he
senate have improved the bill, and have
made it more completely conform to
the four purposes which I have men
tioned.
LfNDERWOOD ON THE HOUSE BILL.
Addressing the house of representa
tives in support of the Democratic meas
ure, Congressman Underwood when pre
senting the Democratic measure to the
house said to the Republicans:
"On common soap you place a tax of
CASTOR IA
For Infants and Children.
His Kind You Have Always Bought
Bears the
gtgnauire of I
20 per cent. We have lowered the tax
to 5 per cent. You taxed the furniture
of the poor man 35 per cent. We have
lowered it to 15 per cent. You taxed
bread and biscuits 20 per cent. We
placed them on the free list. On cotton
clothing you taxed the people of this
country 50 per cent. We have reduced it
to SO por cent. On the flannels that
protect them in the winter from the
storms you taxed the people of the
United States over 96 per cent, and we
have reduced the tax to 25 and 35 per
cent. You taxed the shoes of the people
of the United States, after giving the
shoemaker free raw material, you taxed
them 10 per cent. We give free shoes
to the people of America.”
SENATE ACTION ON THE TARIFF.
With the fullest praise for what the
Democrats of the house did. I wish to
say that the Democrats of the senate
sustained the reductions made by the
•*wuse, and after investigations made ad
dition reductions of great importance.
The house Democrats put flour upon
the free list, but taxed wheat. The sen
ate Democrats put both upon the free
list.
The house Democrats put meat upon
the free list, but taxed cattle. The j
senate Democrats put meat and cattle
both upon the free list.
The house Democrats left a tax of 25
per cent upon cheap woolen blankets.
The Democrats of the senate put them
upon the free list. The house taxed
wool of the angora goat and alpaca.
The senate Democrats put them on the
free list.
The house Democrats taxed flax and
hemp; the senate Democrats put them
upon the fre e list.
The house Democrats taxed pig iron,
and steel billets, and ferro manganese.
The senate Democrats put them on the
free list.
The house Democrats taxed text
books. The senate Democrats placed
them on the free list.
Both the house and senate Democrats
placed jute bagging and cotton ties on
the free list. Both placed wire fencing
on the free list. Both placed
agricultural implements on the
free list, and what has been
known as the farmers’ free list, so
much discussed two years ago, when
passed by the house and rejected by the
senate, Is now contained in the tariff
bill which passed the house and which
has been approved by the Democratic
caucus of the senate without a dissent
ing vote. And what I wish to say to
you today is we have the votes in the
senate to pass the bill.
There has been a mistaken idea in
seme parts of Georgia that a high pro
tective tariff was helping a portion of
our industries. This view has been ab
sorbed by those who entertained it
without carefully studying in detail the
effect which the protective tariff has
had upon us. Take our cotton indus
tries. The products made in Georgia
are produced as cheap as they are any
where in the world. Had our cotton
manufacturers been allowed to buy
their machinery In the free markets of
the world, they would have bought it
at one-third less than it cost them.
There may be an occasional industry
in Georgia which ar protective tariff has
benefited, but our people as a rule have
been buyers of those things which a
protective tariff has made artificially
expensive, while their great product,
cotton, has been sold with a price fixed
by the free markets of the world.
Our farmers have been overcharged
for the things which they are com
pelled to buy because of excessive
prices maintained by the exclusion of
foreign competition. It has been con
ceded that, while the government col
lected three hundred millions of dollars
each year from the tariff, the industries
in the United States, which the high
tariff was intended to help, collected
over a billion of dollars more from the
people than they could have charged but
for the exclusion of foreign competi
tion. These burdens fell upon all the
people of our state, but were especially
heavy upon the farming classes, who in
no respect receive any benefit.
I believe that^the adoption of our neV
tariff bill will mark an era of prosper
ity throughout the country. The indus
tries heretofore protected will not lose
in the long run by competition, but,
spurred through it to greater effort,
they will seek their profits by broader
trade; dependent not alone upon taking
the dollars of their neighbors, they will
reach into the markets of the world for
the sale of their commodities.
The great body of consumers will feel
a substantial lightening of their bur
dens. A wider opportunity for indi
vidual effort will be given. The aver
age man will have a better chance. I
do not mean that these changes will
come instantly, but they will come
gradually, and they will jbe more and
more perceptible each year for several
years.
It is impossible to say just when we
will vote upon the tariff bill In the
senate. I believe we will certainly vote
before the end of six weeks, possibly in
much less time. I. do not think any
considerable delay will take place In
conference. I believe the differences
between the twb houses will readily be
adjusted by the Democrats in the two
bodies and the measure be soon passed
with the approval pf the Democrats of
both houses.
CURRENCY LEGISLATION.
Few men who have studied our cur
rency system fail to realize that there
are radical defects which should be ov
ercome. I will name two: First, the
concentration of currency in the reserve
city of New York, creating a dependency
of ^he entire country upon the reserve
banks of New York for currency when
it Is scarce. Second, the lack of elas
ticity of our currency and inability to
increase it as demand requires.
The currency bill which has been in
troduced both in the senate and in the
house meets these two difficulties. It
will free tlie cuntry from dependence
upon Wall street. It will facilitate an
increase of currency to meet especial
demands for same. It will make a cur-
ency panic impossible.
I am thoroughly opposed to a central
bank. It would be controlled by the
same men who now control the currency
of the country. believe that the pro
vision for enlarging the currency
should be under government supervision
There are many features in the bill
which I thoroughly approve. There are
others which I believe should ^be
changed. It will be my purpose to help
as I can perfect the bill. Finally, after
having sought to make those changes
which I think should be made and after
helping to bring it as nearly as possible
to what I think it should be, I shall not
set up my Judgment against the bill as
perfected although it may lack some
features I would wish it to contain, and
contain some that 1 would wish it to
lack. I think' the Democrats of the
house and senate should make it as near
ly perfect as possible, and then support
it. There are features in the tariff bill
against which I voted in the committee,
but there comes a time when individual
opinion must yield to the majority.
There are two features connected with
the currency bill upon which I have
strong convictions. We are using $750,-
000,000 of national bank notes as cur
rency. These notes are secured by the
deposit in the treasury of $760,000,000
of bonds issued by the government, and
bearing two per cent interest. The banks
paid par for bonds bearing only two
per cent interest because they could use
these bonds bearing two per cent interest
as a basis for their national bank notes.
It is urged if the national bank notes
are to be withdrawn from circulation it
would be only fair for the government
to give to the banks a bond bearing a
rate of interest which would sell for one
hundred cents on the dollar, and those
who have urged the retirement of the
national bank notes have suggested, that
LITTLE GIRL FLAGS A TRAIN,
SAVES PASSENGERS AND CREW
Edith Brown, Living Near
Grantville, Ga., Prevents
Wreck on Atlanta and West
Point Railroad
Engineer Charlie M^cDade, of the A.
& W. P. whisteled for the worst curve
on the road. It was late In the aft
ernoon and his train was behind time.
Leaning far out of the cab window
he strained his eyes at the point where
the rails gleamed for an instant and
disappeared around a bank of red dirt.
He glanced at the gauge. The old boat
was making 32 miles an hour.
As the wheels clanked across the
frogs McDade suddenly put on the air
brakes and closed the throttle. He had
seen her, a little girl with hair flying
in the win'd, standing Just In front oT
the curve and waving a red blanket
from side to side.
Iron snarled against iron. The engine
roared around the bend and stopped
Behind it ten cars packed with passen
gers stopped, too.
Engineer and fireman leaped from the
cab and ran down the track. Some
dozen feet from the nose of the cow
catcher they found it, a bad washoux
which would have dumped them all into
eternity in another second.
The little girl was Edith Brown, aged
14 years, of R. F. D. route No. 1, near
Grantville, Ga. She herself had dis
covered the washout, had hurried home
ward, seized a red blanket, and return
ed in- time to save the train.
»/hen the train crew got back in At
lanta Friday they brought the news of
her heroism.
Engineer McDade, who lives at 61
Ashland avenue, Conductor Cline, and
Road Fbreman Musgrove, who was on
the engine at the time, have raised a
subscription among the train crew and
when next they stop at Grantville they
will present the little girl with a beau
tiful gold locket.

JUDGE VINSON TO BEGIN
CAMPAIGN AT EARLY DATE
Baldwin County May Put Three
Candidates for Congress
in Race
OSpecial Dispatch to The Journal.)
MILLEDGEVILLE5, Ga., July 21.—
Baldwin county may furnish three can
didates for congress next year in the
person of Judge Carl Vinson, Solicitor
Joseph E. Pottle and Colonel J. D. How
ard. The former is the only one who
has openly announced, but It is under
stood that Colonel Pottle is contemplat
ing entering the contest, and Colonel
Howard has long been considered a
probable candidate.
It is announced that Judge Vinson
will begin an aggressive campaign at
once, and Mr. Howard, who is a native
of McDuffie county and still has large
business interests there, may also begin
to actively push his claims. The situa
tion is extremely interesting in view of
the fact that, though Baldwin county
was once the seat of state government
and many of its citizens, were learned
in statecraft, it has not had a congress
man since the war, but now three as
pirants may seek the office.
Indict Denver Papers
For Printing"Indecent"
Miss "September Morn.
(By Associated Press.)
DENVER, Col., July 21.—Executives
of four of Denver’s daily newspapers
were indicted yesterday on charges of
printing certain advertisements of med
icines,, in violation of a state law, “in
decent” pictures of bathing girls and
incidentally reproducing the painting,
“September Morn.” The charges were
filed by the Citizens’ Protective league.
Anniston Is Delighted
Over “September Morn”
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
ANNISTON, Ala., July 21.—For the
nonce Anniston has forgotten that
she is in the cellar of the Georgia-Ala-
bama league; slit skirts, silhouette
gowns, the turkey trgt and the tangb
and other problems have been shoved
aside while the city authorities grapple
with the universay problem of “Sep
tember Morn.”
“September Morn” was put on dis
play in an Anniston store Friday morn
ing. Neither Mayor Wikle nor Chief
of Police Shiretzki, nor any of the al
dermen has as yet assumed the role
of city commissioner to rob Miss Morn
of her glory, but local art lovers are
on the qui vive lest she be barred from
public gaze.
Sea Lion Goes on Lark;
Smashes Plate Glass.
Holds Crowd at Bay
(By Associated Rress.)
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., July 21.—Cam
bridge had a real sea lion hunt last
night. The animal came up out of the
Charles river basin and invaded an East
Cambridge street, where it flopped
about, barking loudly, and frightened a
crowd which retreated before it. At
tracted by the light of a store, It leap
ed four feet through the window, smash
ing the heavy plate glass. The pro
prietor of the store, Isaac Friedman,
who was counting his cash, left in a
hurry, while the animal raised havoc in
the place.
A small squad of police reserves tried
to confine it in a packing box, and in
a big sheet of canvas, but It smashed
one and ate its way through the other.
Finally men from the Boston aquarium
lassoed it and sent it to that institu
tion.
There it was said to be a good speci
men of a California sea lion, about
three years old and weighing more than
200 pounds. “A rare visitor in New
England waters,” one of the officials
said.
GIRLS OF APPLING HOLD
CANNING DEMONSTRATION
the government call in the bonds bearing
two per cent and substitute for them
bonds bearing three per cent interest.
I am opposed to the substitution of
three per cent bonds for two per oent
bonds. Instead of increasing the rate
of interest which we paid upon these
bonds $7,600,000 a year, I believe that
eertainly soon after the proposed cur
rency reforms go into effect, the gov
ernment could take up the present two
per cent bonds with treasury notes, sub
stituting these treasury notes to the
amount of $760,000,000 for the national
bank notes. Instead of increasing our
interest account $7,600,000 a year, by
this course we would reduce it $15,000,-
000 annually.
We have now $985,500,000 of gold coin
deposited in the treasury, and gold cer
tificates issued for it. These gold cer
tificates circulate as money all over the
United States. We have $150,000,000 re
serve gold held against $346,600,000 of
what is commonly called greenbacks.
We have $103,500,000 of unapplied gold
in the treasury. Our gold coin in the
treasury there amounts to $1,237,000,-
000.
We could easily substitute treasury
notes for the gold certificates and for
the greenbacks. If we then further
more substituted treasury notes for the
national bank notes, we could place the
$750,000,000 of bonds now bearing in
terest against the government in the
treasury to be used if necessary to in
crease our supply of gold making really
a reserve amounting in gold to $1,237,-
000,000 and, in bonds, to $750,000,000
against an issue of treasury notes
amounting to $2,084,000,000.
The most cautious would concede that
this condition would be safe and I vast
ly prefer such a course to the issue of
bonds bearing 3 per cent interest, or
even to the continuation of the outstand
ing 2 per cent bonds.
No currency system would be com
plete that did not take into considera
tion the importance of farm credits.
Thorough study is now being given to
this subject, and I believe in the near
future action will be had by which rates
of Interest charged to farmers may be
reduced and increased facilities given for
farm loans.
Without discussing further in detail
what has been taking place during the
past two years in Washington, I wish
to say that if every day had forty-eight
hours and there was nothing to do but
to work, every hour would furnish there
an opportunity to serve you.
THE PRESIDENT.
In conclusion, let me remind you that
the last time I spoke in Georgia was at
the auditorium when I presented Gov
ernor Wilson to the people of the state.
I assured the audience of his purpose
and ability to serve, and of his strength
as a candidate. We made no mistake
when we nominated him. We won the
fight for the Democratic party.
Thepeople of the country made no mis
take when they elected him. The school
teachqr has shown himself to be a po
litical leader unexcelled. A practical as
well as a theoretical master of great
economic problems. He already ranks
with the great presidents of the early
days of the republic. I hear from all
the states of the union that if an elec
tion were to take place now Woodrow
Wilson would not only receive a plu
rality over Roosevelt and Taft, he
would receive a majority over them
both.
Out of this Democratic administra
tion much good will come for the en
tire country, but especially for our own
section, reinstated and rehabilitated,
great in the past, and to be far greater
in the future.

REVENUE SERVICE EXAMS
WILL BE HEED AUC. 16
Announcement Made Affects
Atlanta, Augusta, Columbus,
Macon and Savannah
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, D. C. .July 21.—All
members of the Georgia delegation to
day received announcements from W.
H. Osborn, commissioner of internal
revenue, that examinations will be held
in Atlanta. Augusta, Columbus, Macon
and Savannah on August 16, to prepare
an eligible list for appointments in the
revenue service.
It is held that commissions of all
deputies expire automatically with that
of the collectors, and it is optional
with the new collector whether he re
appoints former deputies or from the
eligible list.
The following is one of the letters,
which shows on its face that Democrats
for the first time in many, many years
will have an opportunity to secure
places in the revenue service in Geor
gia:
“House of Representatives.
“Washington, D. C.
“Sir:—On June 24, 1918, this office
requested the civil service commission
to hold additional examinations in the
state of Georgia for the purpose of se
curing additional eligibles for appoint
ment to positions in the internal reve
nue sevice.
“I have been advised by the commis
sion that the examinations requested
will be held on August 16, 1913, at the
following places:
“Atlanta. Augusta, Columbus, Macon
and Savannah, and that all applications
for entrance to said examinations should
be in the hands of the civil service
commission by August 11, 1913.
“As numerous Inquiries nave been
made relative to appointments in the
internal revenue service, and as the
commissions of deputy collectors of in
ternal revenue automatically expire
with that of the collectors by whom
they were commissioned and appointed,
and as it is possible that many new
conectors may not elect to recommis
sion the old deputies, it is suggested
that you give this information wide
publicity, in view of the facV that all
positions in the internal revenue serv
ice are within the classified civil service
and appontments thereto are made from
til* eligible registers of the civil serv
ice commission.
“Respectfully,
“W. H. OSBORN,
“Commissioner.”

treaties with Great Britain, France and
other countries.
Renewals were delayed some time ago
on objection of Senator Chamberlain to
the treaty with Great Britain. He fear
ed a renewal might compel the United
States to arbitrate the Panama o&nal
tolls dispute.
President Wilson has expressed t&
Chairman Bacon a wish that the new «•
treaties be ratified and Secretary Bryan
has predicted they would be.
Later when the senate assembled Sen- ^
ator Fall sprung a mild sensation by *
asking the adoption of a resolution de
fining a policy of the government re
garding foreign relations. It declared
that every American citizen and hid
property everywhere must be protected *
by the United States.
Senator Fall has been a keen critio
of the government’s Mexican policy.
The resolution finally went over be
cause of objections by Senotor Kern and
other Democrats.
